Taking a deep breath, she walks towards the door and holding the knob opens. She step out of the washroom looking uncomfortable wearing his clothes.

This is her very first time wearing male clothes. She shoved her hands in the pockets and moves towards the dressing table, she glanced herself in the mirror and almost felt heart fastens up seeing how she looks in his clothes.

His clothes definitely didn't fit as she stated before, she wore dark shade blue baggy hoodie with blue jeans that she wore yesterday though he gave her shorts but she wasn't comfortable wearing shorts.

Why wouldn't she be uncomfortable revealing her skins, under the clothes there is horrible secrets hidden.

Holding up the tears while recalling those horrible days she took a brush and starts combing her, she smiles as she found it cute when he brought this things for her to use.

Leaving her hair open she glanced herself in the mirror and sadly smiles.

( Avni's attire)

The smile didn't mean anything to her. She sighs and didn't knew what to do in this unknown mansion, she was scared to trust someone unknown person, she didn't trust anyone fully because of the past turmoil.

She walks back to bed and sat down with her hand clutched in tight fist.

A door clicks opens making her frighten. Her body starts to shiver, many random thoughts crossed her. She gripped the bed sheet tightly in her fist. Her head hung down. Her lips bobbled.

She flinched as she felt a hand on her shoulder, she slowly tilts her head up soon as she heard a soft and calming voice.

Seeing Bebe she didn't know why she felt some kind connection, she didn't understand why she was feeling that or kind of protective around bebe presence.

Bebe looks at Avni and smiles patting her head lovingly.

Bebe : what is your name my dear?

Avni : Avni!

She mutters quietly, enough loud to Bebe hear the name. Bebe smiles and pecks her forehead making Avni's eyes teary seeing the love and concern from the people who she doesn't even know.

Bebe : that's beautiful name. Why didn't you come out. Neil told you to come out. Right!

Avni : I didn't knew the way!

She replied in soft voice making Bebe smile widely. Bebe was already fond of this girl. She got shocked when Neil told about her. First she was thought it would be another girl of Neil who brought middle of night.

She starts beating Neil when Neil narrates about Avni and her presence in the mansion.

Bebe pats her head and looks at her.

Bebe : I can show you around the mansion. But for the moment why don't you come with me. I will you around after breakfast.

Avni nodded her head and stands up. Bebe didn't wanted to scare Avni and seeing Avni's gesture and expression Bebe knew she was fearing about something.

They both walks out the room with Avni following Bebe behind. Bebe starts talking to Avni to which Avni stayed quiet most of time.

They both reached to dinning table and saw Neil seated in his formal attire. Neil eyes met Avni's and he couldn't hold myself from looking how cute and adorable she looks wearing his clothes, though he frowns seeing her wearing jeans instead of short he gave her.

He chucked his thoughts away and looked away not wanting to get caught by any of them.

Neil : Avni, have a seat! Feel safe here.

Avni pulling a chair out sat down beside Bebe who starts serving them. Bebe filled Avni's stomach making her eyes widen.

Avni: the food is too much. I won't be able to finish it up all.

Bebe : this not much Avni. You need to eat.

Avni sighs and ate her food quietly. Neil also noticed how different girl she is from all the others girl he met.

He finished his breakfast and keeping his plate in sink he looks at Bebe then at Avni.

Neil : Bebe! I am leaving to work. I will be staying in office today to complete some pending works so don't wait for me in the late. Have your dinner and sleep.

Bebe nods her head and continues eating while Avni stops eating soon as she head his voice. Corner of her eyes she glanced him but immediately looked away feeling his gaze on her.

Neil diverting his gaze and picking his phone from the table he went away from there leaving the ladies alone.

Neil took his briefcase and dialling his Pa number he headed out side of the mansion.

Neil : hello! How many candidates has applied for the new role?

Pa : morning sir! There is 7 candidates sir who has applied for this role.

Neil : okay! Get the schedule fix with each candidate and arrange interview with them. I will be interviewing them so make sure nothing goes wrong and publish another job vacancy.

Pa : okay sir! What will you be reaching office?

Neil : I am on my way! What the matter?

Pa : sir! You have early meeting today, I forgot to forward the email to you yesterday

Neil : what time is the meeting?

Pa : 9am sir!

Neil sighs and sees the time, it 8:45 am now.

Neil : get the meeting ready. I will be there on time.

Pa : okay sir!

Neil ended the call and getting inside the car he drove to khanna industrial.

Bebe cleaning the dishes comes back in the living room to see Avni sitting there with clutching pillow in her lap. Bebe also sits opposite her and takes the remote turning the tv.

As the tv turns on Avni looks Bebe who passed her smile.

Bebe : what do you like to watch?

Avni shook her head as she hasn't got any idea what to watch. She never watched the tv, he never allowed her.

Bebe : it's okay! I will put something good. Why don't you tell me something about yourself? I mean what you like to do, your hobbies, what you like to do in free times. Anything about yourself. I don't mind giving a company.

Avni blankly stares Bebe. Bebe did notice but didn't understand why this girl is behaving like this. Did she knew there there is secret hidden that no ones knows.

Bebe sighs and tried to divert Avni's attention but nothing that sort of happened. Avni stayed quietly staring in the space.

Bebe turns the tv off and calls Avni's name out making Avni startled.

Bebe : are you okay? Were you daydreaming you?

Avni shook her head and looks at Bebe.

Avni : can I go back into the room? I...

She stops speaking because she didn't want to reveal her habits. How can she explain them how she used to live in the mansion locked like a hell.

Avni holding her tears back while remembering those memories stands up and climbs the stairs leaving Bebe alone who sat in living hall lost in her thoughts.

Neil ending his first  meeting walks in his cabin and Removing his blazer placed it around the chair. He then rolls his sleeves up till his elbow. He sat down and switched the laptop and computer on.

He picks up his phone and dials Bebe number.

Neil : hello Bebe! How is she?

Bebe was surprised seeing her grandson caring for someone who he just met yesterday night.

Bebe : she isn't okay! She went to back to her room after having breakfast.

Neil : can you please try to make feel comfortable and ask about her family? Maybe she can tell you so we can contact them. I don't want to keep her knowing her family might be worrying about her.

Bebe : I do understand Neil! I will try my best. But I feel there is much hidden than it seems. She isn't ready to open up.

Neil hummed and thought about what could be reason why she was middle of road yesterday instead of being home. Was he missing something.

Neil : Bebe! Can you please also arrange some clothes for her. I will see what I can do. I will see you tomorrow morning.

Bebe : I will see what can I get arrange.

Bebe ended the call and Neil sighs keeping the phone side. He then picks intercom and calls his Pa.

Neil : hello! In my cabin right now.

Neil ends the call and got back to work.
