Neil was sitting in his balcony when he felt something strange.

Neil ( mind ) why do I feel something bad is going to happen? Avni is fine! I should check her but what if papa and maa is still wake. What should I do? It's important for me to see Avni but what if I get caught... I don't care getting caught... I only want my Avni safe... how she is fine!

Neil got up and went inside and took car keys and ran outside of the House and saw Khanna and Metha family coming but he didn't cared much as he was getting worried for Avni. He ran to them. Others were shocked to see him worried.

Neil : Neela maa where is Avni?

Neela : she is at home! Why?

Neil: shit!

Without hearing anything more Neil ran to his car and got in and drove away. Others looked at Neil car moving.

Ashish : we need to follow Neil. Seeing him worried and asking about Avni I'm sure something his wrong.

Prakash : Bebe Swetha ji and Neela stay here. We will go follow Neil.

Bebe nods. Prakash and Ashish left in Prakash car and followed Neil car. Bebe along with Swetha and Neela went inside and prayed for Neil and Avni safety.

While Avni room vidyut was sitting on while Avni was sleppimg but suddenly she woke up as vidyut emptied full water of jug on her face..

Avni : what..... the... heck....

Vidyut : we should some action now... enough of your sleeping. I want you before your parents comes back...

Hearing his words Avni got scared and moved back but her head got hurt with headboard and hissed in pain.

Vidyut moved Close to her and trying caressed her face but Avni moved her face other side making him angry. He held her face tightly and made her turn to his face and slapped her again. Tears starts flowing from eye but that heartless didn't had any mercy on her....

Avni : please..... leave..... me...

Vidyut : not so easy. How could you think I'll miss this opportunity. Come on Avni This opportunity won't come every time. Enjoy this time..

Saying this he forward to kiss her lips but he was pulled by strong hand. Avni looks at him teary eyes. Vidyut turned to person and raised his hand but again Person held it tightly and twisted. Vidyut winched in pain but the person ear went deaf seeing scene front of him..

The person left vidyut hand and pushed him on the floor. He moved to Avni and covered her with duvet. Though her clothes wasn't Rip it but he knew her feeling.

He then moved to vidyut and pulled him from his collar and dragged him outside of the Avni room. Avni stared the person going. As the person left Avni fell on bed and cried. Her sobs was silent but she cried her heart out. No One could understand what she was going there.

Here as Neil pulled vidyut from Avni room he again pushed him on the floor but This time vidyut fell straight on Ashish and Prakash feet. Vidyut looked up and saw them. Vidyut got up holding Ashish legs. He turned to person who was boiling in anger.

Vidyut : Neil it's nothing like that! Avni was forcing herself on him.......

Before he could compete he got punch cross his face. Blood came out from his mouth. Neil walks to vidyut and held him from his Collar and give deadly glare.

Neil : you really think I'll believe you. My Avni wouldn't really do anything so cheap like you... chii don't you feel shame saying women was forcing herself on you.. don't you really think a women will ruin her own dignity... i know your acts vidyut. Maybe we never met but my eyes was on you... what you thought ruining my business, separating me from my Avni. What you made you think to do all this. After many failed you tried killing in plane unfortunately it's didn't happen as I got to Know your plan from my secret guard who kept eye on him along with my Avni to protect. Yes it's true I realised everything late but I was smarter than you vidyut. Even I know about my both fathers plan... they did good plan... I thought to teach your lesson after I get well but you crossed your limits today... you try lay your eye on my Avni which I won't tolerate. Whatever you did I let you go but both this time.. no one has right to much my Avni not even you....

Neil starts beating him up. Ashish and Prakash tried stopping Neil but Neil didn't Listen to anyone. He was thinking what would happened if he didn't reached on time.. tears Welled up and continued beating vidyut..

Vidyut: leave..... me.... sorry...

Neil again punched him..

Neil : sorry my foot! Your sorry won't do anything what you have made my Avni suffer. You not only tried breaking us but you tried breaking my friendship and trust from Avni. Will say sorry for that... don't think will be forgiven Easily. I'll make sure you deserve amazing treatment.... don't worry your so called wife Mrs juhi will there too... you both really think destroying others Happiness Makes your day then why not do this.. falling In love with someone is different feeling but loving someone only for desire is crime.... don't think women body is only for sex or rape them... if you think women is this then have you never thought about your own mom and sisters. Imagine this happened with them then how would you feel... next time think before you call someone your love.... dad call the police... I don't want dirt in my house or near my Avni...

Prakash immediately called the police. Ashish called Neela to come to metha House along with swetha Bebe.

Soon police came and took vidyut with them. Neil told Prakash and Ashish to go with them. Ashish and Prakash along with police went to vidyut house to arrest juhi.

Neil closed his eye then opened as he was getting flash of Avni crying when vidyut was trying to kiss her... thinking about Avni he ran to her room and saw all curled up on bed crying.

He could hear her sob. He then saw her hands tied up with rope. He went to there and tried touching her but Avni pushed his hands.

Avni hid her face more inside the duvet.

Avni : go......... away....

Neil controlled his tears and took deep breath and called her name calmly.

Neil : Avni...

As she heard his voice. She removed the duvet from her face and looks at him with her teary eyes.

Avni : you...... here......

Neil nods. It didn't took second to hug him tightly. Though her hands was paining as she was still tied up. Neil also hugged her. He carefully untied rope from her hands. Neil then hugged her tightly.

Neil : shhhh! ..... nothing happened....

Avni didn't stopped crying but she tightened her grip around his waist.

Avni : woh...... he..... tried...... to......

Neil : shhh!....

Neil broke hug from himself and wiped her tears.

Neil : don't waste your tears on him..... you safe now..

Avni didn't say anything but her face in Neil chest. Neil rubbed her back.

After almost hour of sobbing in Neil's arms Avni slept. Tears were dried on her cheeks. Neil felt her breath heavily. He tilted her head bit and saw her sleeping.

He carefully separated himself from her and made Avni lay on bed. He covered her with duvet and looked at eye face..

Neil ( mind) this is was reason why I didn't wanted to come front you. I knew seeing me vidyut will do something to harm. I knew he only wants you.... Avni whatever our future holds for us we need to accept... I know you can't love me because you only think me as friend.. that why I have decided something...

He caresses her face and kissed her forehead and whispered which made Avni smile in sleep but it's was unnoticed by Neil...

Neil : I love you!

He got up from bed and took pillow from her aside and moved to couch. He made himself comfortable on couch and took his phone out and messaged Prakash that he will Speak tomorrow as Avni is sleeping.

Keeping his phone on aside table. He closed his eye but couldn't sleep as Avni tears face was coming in his mind and vidyut trying to kiss her...

He got up and went back to see Avni if she is sleeping or not. He signed and sat on the floor and took her hands held it tightly. With his other hand he caressed her forehead.

He kept her caressed her forehead when he felt his eye lids closing. He closed his eye and slept sitting on the floor and holding Avni hands.

It's was middle of night when Avni stirred in her sleep and mumbled something.

"Don't touch me."

"No, please leave me".

"Vidyut no.... please.... I beg you....".

"Leave me... please..."

She woke up panting and sweating. She looked at herself then around the room. She was looking around when her eye fell on Neil..

Avni : Neil....

She whispered his name.. she saw him sleeping on the floor and his hand entwined with hers...

She shook him bit... Neil Immediately opened his eye and looks at Avni then checked her if she is okay or not...

Neil : you okay.... did you got hurt.... tell me .... Avni... say something...

Avni didn't react to his any questions but she was only staring him as if she has seen ghost front herself..

Avni : are you ghost....

Neil stopped his ranting questions and looks at her.

Neil : huh?

Avni : I want to sleep....

She ignored his expression. Neil got up from the floor and sat on bed and made her lay down again.

Neil : sleep!

Avni closed her eye again.. Neil thought she is slept so he got up to move but Avni held his hand.. Neil looks at her...

Avni : don't go...

Neil : Avni..

Avni : sleep here..... with me .... please..

Saying this she moved bit and made space for him. She gestured him to lie down which he did. She placed her head on his chest and moved close to him. While Neil was staring her thinking what happened with her... chucking his thoughts he wrapped his arms around her.... Avni was already slept while Neil was looking at her...

Unknowingly he slept too.
