Too much of thinking always makes people tired. But here things are totally opposite as Avni was battling with some unknown emotions which were successfully thwarting her from giving a rational kick on the work for which she is here for.

     Adjusting and readjusting her hair strands, she found it difficult to concentrate on her work as she felt his gaze upon her. Though it was her mere anticipation, one thing we can't neglect is that her intitution has never failed her.

     Avni was one among the few whom Neil adored in his life. Personally he always wanted to meet her someday or other, not as a celebrity but as a fan of her work. He felt that her brilliance always reflected on her work. He so adores her works that he regularly reads every article produced by her.

     Neil has hunted down Avni's name in every social media but nowhere had he found her face or her personal details. She was such a down-to-earth person that she avoided every single parties and meetings that may add vogue to her fame. He mentally chuckled at his boyish behaviors which he is recalling now instead of starting a conversation with her.

     'Umm, shall we start' Avni said iffy with the silence all around. Neil just nodded at rhea as the interview proceeded.

     'So you were there as your friend vidhut called you for a spa night' Avni asked as she noted down the point.

     'Yes, and since I was so busy with the hectic shoot schedule I thought it would be a nice idea' Neil shrugged as she noted in wonder how her hands is scribbling continuously as she spoke.

     'And what happened there Mr. Neil?' Avni shot her next question while her hands paused from writing waiting for his answer.

    'The spa was on the 20th floor, and I was in the parking lot. There I saw 5 people trying to loot a car. And when I tried to stop them they started to run, and I chased them eventually landing in 12th floor which was a local bar. They went in and when I followed them police came there and they started seizing the party and arresting everyone. And by that time they assumed that I was one among them' Neil completed sighing while Avni was no more writing.

      She was simply starring at the direction from where Neil's voice was coming from. 'Is that all happened?' Avni was shockingly surprised as how easy the trap was.

     'So you don't believe it right' Neil was an expert in drawing conclusions while Avni rolled her eyes.

     'But I have CCTV footage to prove it. Once I produce it in the court there will be nothing else to discuss about this case' Neil expeditiously expressed his part without letting Avni speak.

     'I was shocked not because I didn't believe you, but because you were so innocent to see the trap.' Avni tried to resonate her point.

     'What do you mean?' Neil sat straight listening to her keenly.

     'I mean that someone wanted to frame you in all this, someone who knows very well that your relationship with media is not that good that even a false allegation would scrap your market down.' Avni added while Neil accepted her point with a nod.

     'You may be right, but in case if anyone has done it, then they have succeeded. I mean clearly, I am already doomed. And even if court clears me of all charges, the media would just frame it as I bribed them.' Neil felt dejected as he could clearly see no future in this.

     Meanwhile Rhea was biting her nails in anticipation as she thought that even Avni's reputation would be in sake if she writes anything about it. Anyone will easily come with a story that they have bribed Avni to do a favor work for Neil. Or worse they can even ship Avni with Neil. Rhea face palmed mentally as she started to imagine the aftermath toil.
'Why don't you put that CCTV video in any of your social media account?' rhea blurred out making everyone turn sharply at her.

     'But that won't help' Ali continued. 'We thought about it before, but if we post it on social media people may easily re-frame it as false evidence giving us a huge challenge in court.' Ali concluded while Neil looked at Avni. He understood that she was in a deep thought as her eye balls moves from left to right whenever she does that.
'Ali is right' Avni continued. 'Neil can't post it' Avni said as Neil sighed. Neil was tired with the same discussion which is going on even since the scandal. But Avni was not finished yet.

      'But I can' she said surprising everyone.

     'What do you mean?' Neil sounded astonished which made Avni smile at him.

     'I mean that, while writing the article about this issue, I will attach the evidence also. This will make people see as well as read. And that will also result in getting posted in some trusted platform.'

     'Do you think people will accept this as the truth?' Ali asked sounding hopeful as Avni nodded. Rhea was just short of words as she looked at Avni. She knew that this is goanna be super hit.

     'No one ever denies Avni's point' rhea concluded while Avni was already drafting the ideas to pen down in her mind.
