Phone conversation

Person: Hello, is this office of Bombay times?

Lady: Yes, how may I help you?

Person: I have an exclusive news which will increase your channel trps to a very high level.

Lady: May I know who are you?

Person: You can consider me as your well-wisher.

Lady: okay sir. What is the news about?

Person: the news is about ex-IPS officer neil khanna. You remember that his wife was declared dead 10 years ago in a fire incident but that info is wrong and she is alive. "Neil Khanna's wife Avni Neil Khanna is alive."

Lady: any proofs you have related to this news?

Person: Don't you dare consider this news as a fake one because its 100% true and she is right now living with neil khanna himself.

Lady: Okay, sir. Thank you for this news. Your share in the profit will be soon delivered to you.

The call cuts and the person is revealed to be the constable who came to give neela ma's case file to neil but accidentally saw avni.

Khanna Mansion

Evening-Avni's Room

Avni was waiting for ali to arrive so that she can just close their investigation about what happened 10years ago.

Ali: Haa bol, kya baat karni hai? (What you want to say avni?)

Avni: Ye kya hai avni tum sab log milke neela ma ke katil ke bare mei pata kar rahe hoon. (What is all this ali? You all are trying to find out the killer of neela ma.)

Ali: Tujhe kaise pata. (How do you know?)

Avni: Maine tumlogon ki baate sun li thi. Kyu tum sab purani baton ko khuredh rahe ho? (I accidentally heard your discussion. Why are you people trying to dig the past?)

Ali: Zaroori hai avni. Tu toh nahi bata rahi ki kyu tu hame chod ke chali gayi thi toh ab agar sab ke zindagi ko normal hona hai toh ye wajah jaana zaroori hai. (It's important avni. You are not telling anything so for the sake of everyone's normal life we have to the truth.)

Avni: Normal zindagi bitane ke liye sach janne ki zarrorat nahi hai. Mei jaise move on hui hoon waise neil bhi move on hosaktha hai. (To lead a normal life truth is not needed. Neil can move on like how I moved on.)

*Both of them getting angry*

Ali: Tujhse baat karna hi bekar hai. Tu kuch nahi batayegi aur nahi hame janne degi. (It's waste of talking to you. You won't say anything and nor you will allow us to find out.)

Avni: Haa.. Mei tum logon ko ye bewakoofi nahi karne dongi. (Yes.. I won't allow you people to do this foolishness.)

Ali getting irritated holds her and just leaves her harshly due to which she falls on the bed and the tv gets on due to the remote present on the bed.

Living Room

Neil, kk, and the kids along with samrat and saayesha are playing ludo while bebe, sunheri and swetha were watching news on tv.

Swetha was changing the channels when suddenly mogwli shouted jaan. All of them looked towards tv and saw that both neil and avni's pictures are being shown on tv with the headline-

"EX-IPS OFFICER NEIL KHANNA'S WIFE AVNI NEIL KHANNA IS ALIVE."

Sunheri immediately took the kids to their respective rooms which left samrat, saayesha, bebe, swetha, neil, kk in the room.

News reporter: As per our sources, avni neil khanna is currently living with neil khanna in his house. So, now it has become important to know that how can she be alive when it was clearly declared that she was dead 10 years before. Was it a plan?

If it so, then does neil khanna know about this? If he knows then is it that neil betrayed the police system and the laws? If he doesn't know then how come she is living with him in his house?

So many questions to be answered by Mrs. Avni neil khanna. I hope the police officials will definitely...

Neil immediately switched off the tv. Samrat and saayesha were baffled after listening to the reporter while bebe and swetha were worried for avni.

Samrat: Aap jaan didi ke pati hain aur unka naam avni hai. (You are jann didi's husband and her name his avni.)

Neil: Yes. Her name is avni and she is my wife.

Samrat: Kyu kiya unhone aap logon ke saath aisa? Aap unse gussa nahi hai? (Why did she do this to you? Are you not angry with her for what she did?)

Bebe: Nahi puttar. Ussne aisa kyu kiya hame malum toh nahi lekin hum usse bilkul bhi gussa nahi hai kyu ki woh jo bhi karti hai tikh hi karti hai. (No beta. We don't know the reason why she did like this but we are not at all angry on her because what she does will be correct and well for all.)

Saayesha: Apne pyarr aur parivaar se dur jaake kya accha kiya unhone. Balki aap jeise acche parivaar ko koun chodega. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki unhe parivaar ka value hi nahi pata. Ab mujhe samajh aaya ki woh kyu hame hamari parivaar ke bare nahi batatti. Jise parivaar ki ehmiyat hi nah pata ho woh kya samjhega parivaar kohne ka dukh. (What good she did by going away from her love and her family. Who would want to leave a family like yours. I guess she doesn't know the value of family. Now I understand why she doesn't tell us about our families. Who doesn't know what is the value of family how will she understand our pain of not having a family.)

Neil: (In anger) Bas saayesha. Apne hadh mei raho tum. Mana ki avni ne galti ki hum sab ko chod ke lekin iss ka ye matlab nahi hua ki usse parivaar ki value hi nahi pata. Tum nahi jaanti ho avni ko. Bilkul bhi nahi. Tum logon ke saamne jo avni hai woh meri avni hai hi nahi. Meri avni darpokh nahi thi. Meri avni bahot hi strong thi apne parivaar ko bachane ke liye kissi bhi katre ka saamna karti thi. Meri avni bahot hi pyaar karti thi hum sab se aur agar tumhe nahi pata ho toh mei bata doon ki avni ne bachpan se ek happy family ka sapna dekha hai. Aur usse woh family mil bhi gayi thi lekin ussne uss parivaar ko chod diya. Kyu choda ye mujhe nahi pata lekin iss ka matlab ye nahi hai ki tum avni pe ilzaam lagaon ke usse parivaar ki ehmiyaat nahi pata. Samjhi tum. Meri avni jaisa koy nahi. Koy waisa nahi tha naahi hai aur nah kabhi koy waisa ho saktha hai.

Saying so he just stormed out of the living room. Bebe and swetha explained everything to samrat and saayesha as how avni left the family.

(Sorry people did not write english dialogues for neil and also will not be writing english dialogues for avni's self-talk.)

Avni's Room

Both avni and ali watched the news and avni was hell sacred as to how the news got leaked and she was just rooted to her spot on the bed and started blabbering something going into her own world.

Avni: (self-talk) Ye sach saamne aagaye. Kaise aaya ye saamne? Kaise? Aur vidyut, woh toh chut jaayega jail se phir uss ke baad kya hoga. Woh meri happy family ko barbaad kar dega.

Woh neil ko nahi chodega. Neil.. neil.. neil toh tut jaayega unke arrest se aur mei kaise sambhalungi usse. Jaise usne neela ma ko marra tha waise hi woh neil ko bhi maar dega aur uske baad bebe, mummyji, papaji.. Papaji.. Mujhe papaji ko jald hi yaha se kahi durr bhejna hoga warna bahot kuch galat hojayega.

Saying so she got up and was about to leave when ali held her and bought her back to the present.

Ali: Kya hua avni? Koun kisse areest karega aur ye tum kya keh rahi ho ki vidyut ne marra hai neela ma ko. Bolo avni aur phir prakash uncle ko durr kyu bhejna chahthi ho tum? (What happened avni? Who will arrest who and what were you saying that vidyut killed neela ma. Tell me avni and prakash uncle, why do you want to send him away?)

Avni: Leave me ali. Bahot kuch karna hai. Iss se pehle police aaye mujhe bahot sare kaam karna hai. (Leave me ali. There is so much to do. Before the police arrive I have to do many things.)

To bring avni out of her trance ali held her tightly and shook her by her shoulders. That was it she just broke down in front of him.

Ali: (not able to see her in such state) What happened avni? Now you have to tell me the truth.

Avni: Neela ma was killed by papaji. Vidyut drugged papaji and ordered him to kill neil. Papaji was about to shoot neil when neela ma saw it and she pushed neil away taking the bullet onto herself. Vidyut has proof that papaji killed neela ma and this was the sole reason that I left neil and the family. He put forth two conditions in front of me. Marry him or see my happy family getting destroyed. I did not have any other option ali other than planning to kill myself. I am sorry ali. Now please help me before the police come we have to send papaji away from here.

Ali was shocked after listening to avni and was crying thinking of the pain avni had to endure during these 10 years but composed himself.

Ali: Avni nothing will happen. No one has got to know about the truth of neela ma's death and don't worry nothing as such will happen. The police will come to arrest you for defying the law and only one person can help you in this problem and that's neil. You have to tell him everything.

Avni: No ali. You also will not tell anything to neil. He will not be able to handle this and will break after listening to this. Promise me you will not tell him anything.

Ali: but avni the police will come to arrest you. What will happen then? You have to tell him.

Avni: I have total faith in my love that he will definitely save me and if he doesn't also no problem because this is what I deserve after what I did to all of you.

Garden

Neil was sitting thinking about how the news got leaked of avni being alive when the police came there to arrest avni. Police took avni to the police station to interrogate her while all this while dd was just helpless.

Neil was just watching all this happen while bebe, swetha, papaji pleaded him do to something. Once the police went away with avni, ali and neil went to the police station while ali called the lawyer for avni's anticipatory bail.

Police Station -Interrogation Room

PO (police officer): (sarcastically) So Mrs. Avni neil khanna. You made a good fool of ours and very easily defied us. May I know what was the reason?

Avni: I did not make fool of anyone and as of the reason there's nothing as such.

PO: You say that you did not make a fool of us and you also say that there is no reason then was it all a play/drama for you or was it done to fulfil your personal revenge?

Avni: What type of personal revenge? (getting angry and scared too)

PO: You really don't know. Well I'll tell you then. You remember Mr. Vidyut. R right. He was behind you like an obsessive lover and so to get him out of the way you and your husband Mr. Neil khanna planned all this. And neil being a police officer helped you not even thinking of the law. Am I correct?

Avni: (getting angry) Mind your words Mr. My husband was a righteous police officer and he did not know about any of this. Understood?

PO: Wooh.. Wooh.. Don't be angry. He did not know any of this but don't think that he will be able to save you from this.

Neil: You've mistaken officer. Here's the bail for avni.

PO: Wow. You truly know how to bend the rules. And don't worry I'll go to the truth of the this case. you can take her for now.

Neil: Which case officer? If she tried to save her life then what is wrong in that. Here's the order from the court to close this case. please read it carefully. Let's go avni.

Both neil and avni went out, when they were stopped by the media.

NR1 (news reporter): Sir, what you have to say on this? Do you think what your wife did is right?

Neil: Definitely. Avni was scarred after the fire accident and even after knowing that vidyut is arrested she did not return back thinking vidyut can again harm her. That's it.

NR2: Don't you think you are bending the rules by supporting your wife or is it that you have been manipulating the law according to your wife's wish?

Neil: How dare you.. I've never manipulated any law nor will I do it. I was a sincere police officer and now I am a sincere citizen. As for my wife, she is MY WIFE and she also knows how to respect law whatever be her past record. Understood Mr.?

Saying so neil just held avni and went away from there to ali who was waiting for them. The drive back to home was all silent with avni admiring neil from the time he was talking to the media and all through the journey back home.
