"Juhi... Have you saw Avni? " He asked while he was little tensed as he couldn't able to find her in this crowd.

"No... She was with you na? " She questioned him back while he nodded and spoke.

"But... I went with Riya.. And I now I couldn't able to find Avni... " He said and took his phone to call her.

"Don't worry... I'll let you know if I got her... And you too please let me know if you see her... " He said while she nodded and he walked from there to outside calling her.

Whereas on the other hand.

"Huh Neil!!!.. Why on the earth now he is calling??... He was enjoying right dancing with her... And now what he want? " She said and didn't attend tha call in annoyance.

"Avni... Pick up!! " He said trying again and again but his call went answered.
He sighed greatly being tensed. Suddenly he saw something and the thing is glowing. He went and pick it up. He realized that it was her bracelet which she was wearing today. He then started walking from there thinking she might be gone from the club.

Whereas Avni was walking on the road with a sad face. She was stumbling walking on the road. But she missed her balance and fell down and started laughing on her own.

"Aap teek ho? " She heard a voice while she lifted her face to look at the voice and found two boys.

"Nahi ... Main girgay hu... " She laughed while they understood that she was drunk. He helped her to stand up. The boy turned and saw his another friend and both of them smirked.

"Thank You... " She said and blinked her eyes continuously

"Aapko kaha jaane hai... We will drop you... "One of the boy said

" No.... It's... Okay... "She said and started moving while the boy suddenly hold her wrist while Avni turned and furrowed her brows.

" Itni raat hogay... Aur aap akele kese jaayenge ... "By saying he started coming towards her.

" Leave....... Leave....my hand... "Avni said and started wriggling her hand to come out from his grip.

The grip was so tight that she couldn't able to take her hand off but suddenly someone kept their hand above his boy hands as like stopping him.

Avni lifted her face and saw Neil. She smiled widely seeing him. While Neil jerked the boys hand from Avni. He gritted his teeth looking at the boy and hold him by his collar. While the other person ran away

"How dare you?! " He asked him

"Why you are worrying?!!... Is she your girlfriend?" He asked Neil.

"She is a girl... Whom I have the responsibility to protect from jerks like you... " He said and punched his face harder. He again punched him harder While he kissed the ground and blood started oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

"And Moreover she is my WIFE" He said with a dead glared and hold her wrist and started taking Avni from there.

"Neil... Leave... Me.. Leave my... Hand... " She said and trying to come out of his grip. He turned and pulled her closer. His face hold care for her. Only he knows how he was searching for her. His mind then went to the scene where he told her as his wife.

"Don't keep that face..." She said sternly.

"Avni... You could have informed any of us before going na... You know how much I got worried seeing you nowhere there .... " He said in a concerned tone

" Why should I inform you??...and moreover you were too busy in dancing..." She said in jealousy tone and started walking away from there angrily.

"Avni... " He started running behind her.

"Why are you angry on me.. What I did? " He asked her while she didn't reply but was stumbling while walking while Neil was only watching making sure she wouldn't miss her balance.

She again miss her balance and about to fall while he hold her protecting her. His hand was surrounded on her waist while her hand was clucthing his shirt tightly.

He made her to stand and made her to sit on the bench nearby.

"If you don't say how I will know... " He asked with a pout and looked at her who was looking uber cute with her angry pout.

She pulled him by his collar making him shock by her sudden stunt. Their nose crashed each other while his eyes were still widen. He was looking at her who was cutely batting her eyelash.

"You danced with Riya... How dare you do that... I hate her... You know right... And then how can you... " She asked him batting her eyelashes making him chuckle as jealousy dancing on her face.

"She only pulled me to the dance floor... " He made a innocent face

"I repeat don't keep that face!!... " She said sternly

"I know you would have complimented her as like you did to me.. " She left his collar and flipped her hair looking away from him.

"I didn't.. " He said looking at her waiting for her to turn to him.

She turned to look at him and saw him.

"You....... Didn't? " She asked to confirm again while he nodded negatively. Somewhere in her heart, she felt so happy when he said he didn't complimented her

"No... I didn't... " He said while she smiled widely.

"Goodddddd boy.... " She tapped his shoulder as like praising him while Neil smiled widely seeing her cute antics.

"No.. you are not... "She said and again glared at him while he made a puppy face.

He smirked and moved his face closer to face while she kept looking at him.

" You are jealous? " He asked with a smirk.

"No!! No... No!!... Here I am angry on you... And you are saying I am jealous on Riya... Don't talk to me ever... " She said like a kid and started moving from there while Neil ran behind her

Later on

It's past 12:00 am in the morning and Avni showed many tantrums of not wanting to go to hotel back. They just roamed around the streets while Neil was patiently listening to all her blabberings.

After a great struggle Neil took her to the hotel and he don't wanna disturb juhi at this time and he either can't go to his room as Ali will be there so he booked another room and took her there.

He took her inside with her hands wrapped around him. Her leg tripped and she fell on the bed while he fall above her while her eyes were tight shut in fear of falling down while he was looking at her. They were so close to each other while he was lost into her. Her eyes slowly opened and saw him. Their breath were fanning against each other. Avni's heart started beating faster and she was looking at him continuously batting her eyes lashes innocently. She  closed her eyes due to his strong gaze and their proximity while Neil came out from the heat of moment and tried to move but she pulled him back while their nose crashed on each other. Her eyes brows were furrowed and she had a confused face.

"Avni... You should sleep! " He said lowly while she batted her eyes lashes again hearing him. While he slowly removed her hand which is holding him and stood up.

He knows she was not herself now. And he don't want them to regret about anything later.

He removed her heels and covered her with Quilt. He took a pillow and went to the couch While she sat up on the bed pouting.

"Kya hua Avni.. " He sat on the bed beside her and asked her.

"I want to cuddle something... I need my pillow... " She said with her cute pout. while he went to couch and took his pillow.

"You can cuddle this Avni... " He said giving to her while she nodded right to left.

"No... I don't want yours... I want my pillow... Which I used to cuddle in our home... " She said stubbornly like a kid while he looked at her blankly as he don't know what to do.

He slowly went near her and sat beside and thought to make her understand.

"Avni... We are not in our home right? ... So... " Saying their apartment as their home made him smile widely and before he could say something Avni just kept her head on her shoulder wrapping her hand around his arms.

"Hmm.... So... " She said as like asking him to continue.

"Huh!!.. Nothing! " He said and looked at her whose eyes were closed. He smiled looking at her cute face and pinned her hair behind her ears.

He slowly lean back on the bed rest while Avni cuddled him more by keeping her head on his chest and lyed on the bed in a comfortable position.

He smiles as she finally got her comfortable position and caresses her hair making her sleep. He felt so happy having in her arms and the way she was cuddling him like a kid made him chuckle. He too dozed off hugging her back.
