At Mehta mention..Avni is sitting on the sofa watching TV.....Asish and Neela come there..they see each other.

Aasish:- Avni ..

Avni look at him ..Ashish and Neela sit beside him, they have an album in their hand. ..

Aasish:- Avni beta vo aj itni dino baad tum hamare sath ho ..to humne socha kyu na kuch time sath kuch time spent kre

Avni looks at them ..
Neela opens the album and shows Avni some pictures.

Neela:- Avni bachcha dekho tumhari bachpan ki tasvire kitni golo molu ho tum inme ..Avni look at those pictures she smile to see them .
Ashish is happy to see Avni smiling. Neela shows Avni some more pictures

Neela:- or ye dekho Avni jab tumhara first day tha school me .

Avni gets happy seeing those pictures...
Avni picks up one of the few albums lying on the table...aasish & neela look at her

Avni opens it, in that album there are pictures of Ayesha, some with Ashish, some with her family members and some of her pregnancy...
Avni touches those pictures ..her eyes were  wet ...

Aasish:- Avni beta ..he put her hand on her head ..
Avni close that album ..and look at aasish

Aasish:- Avni hum tumse maafi mangne chahte hai beta ..hume maaf kr do please...tumhari shaadi me hum chahakr bhi nahi ruk paye ..I khow tum humse gussa ho

Avni:- it's okay papa mujhe bilkul bura nahi laga ..evan mujhe to ab aadat ho gai hai .. ap logo se importance na milne ki so it's okey ...Avni gets up and leaves from there saying this ..

In Avnis room
Avni is sitting at the window and crying

Avni:- I hate you papa I just hate you ..You never believed in me, Juhi was always important to you ..

(So the story of Avni's past begins from here.. Ayesha Haider was Ashish's first wife, he did love marriage.. Neela was Ayesha's best friend.. When Ayesha was pregnant with Avni..There were some complications in her pregnancy, due to which she died after the delivery of Avni, but before dying, Ayesha had taken a promise from Neela that she should marry Ashish and take care of Avni as a mother...Ashish and Neela get married because of Ayesha's last wish..When Avni is eight months old, Neela is  pregnant with juhi ..Asish and Neela are overjoyed with the news of their second child...After nine months Neela gives birth to Juhi ... Neela and Ashish together take great care of both the children...Avni and Juhi grow up with time ..When Avni is seven years old, she learns that Neela is not her real mother. Juhi also learns that Avni is not her real sister...Juhi starts seeing Avni as her step sister ..She starts hating Avni seeing her close to neela and Ashish, she makes every effort to take Avni away from them ..Juhi starts hating Avni to such an extent that once she locks herself in a dark room and tells Ashish and Neela that Avni locked her up on purpose as she doesn't like her ..Neela and Ashish accept Juhi's words to be true and Ashish angrily slaps Avni and locks her in a dark room as punishment, unaware of What will be the effect of that punishment on that pure Soul !

Avni was afraid of the dark and from that day onwards Avni's fear of the dark increased...And once Juhi intentionally fell down the stairs due to which she suffered of head injury.. Ashish and Neela took her to the hospital.. And Juhi also held Avni responsible for this.This time Neela also stopped talking to Avni..In this way, Juhi started doing new tricks against Ashish and Neela against Avni..To say that Juhi was a child but in reality she is the devil.
