Neil : no i only came to see you.

Avni didn't replied him and continue making tea for him. Neil knew she won't say anything until he makes it up. He only had hope thinking this evening he will clear his Misunderstanding with her.

He stood there leaning back to wall and watched her.

While in hall everyone malthore decided to leave when Manik stopped them.

Manik : aunty could Nandini and Avni stay here for few days.

Neela looks at Bebe.

Neela looks at ashish asking him what she should do when Ashish gestured her to let them stay.

Neela : Nandini you stay with Avni.

Nandini nods still being confuse why Manik asked her to say as Manik is angry with her. While one was happy that Avni would stay but another one was sad about her staying.

Manik smiled at Neela. Nandini hugged Neela and Ashish.

Nandini : bhai take care of bhabhi!

Cabir nods. Malthore bids them when Manik looks at Nandini.

Avni giggled hearing her.

Avni : are you drunk! If you are then drink limewater. You mad girl.

She takes cup and moved to Neil rooms.

Mithal took cup and broke it in her hand.

Mithal : you messed it with me. You wait and watch what I do to you.
