*****************

" Why are you punishing me for a mistake that I didn't commit ?" These are Neil's words to Aaira, which he says to her while kneeling in front of her, where she is sitting in front of him on the couch in the garden.

" I am not punishing you, Papa." Aaira tells him holding her tears.

" If this is not a punishment then what is? Being the reason for your tears is my biggest punishment, today I failed as a father." He says this while looking at her, his eyes also become moist and his saying this hurts Aaira's heart too.

But Aaira is unable to say that he hasn't failed as a father," when Neil continues...

" Trust me I didn't do this to separate you from him." he says to which Aaira looks at him

" Papa, it's ok, but please no more of these lies and yes I want to tell you one thing which I had said earlier also...I will do whatever you say, he is not more important than you." She says, which Neil listens to quietly.

" Yes, I admit I was adamant that day but despite all my adamantness, if you had told me that very day that I should not stay with him, so it would take me time but I would keep a distance from him for you, because you are important to me, I don't like hurting you every day for some reason or the other." She says just adding to the burden on Neil's chest but Neil decides to listen to her first

" And now I will do the same, I will do what you always wanted, I will not have any boyfriend." She completes her words by saying this which brings a sad smile on Neil's lips

" And do you think your father is so selfish that he would make his Mannat cry for his own happiness ?" He says to which she sees him

" Like I said, I have already failed as a father today, by causing these tears of yours but not anymore..." says Neil to which Aaira looks at him

" And as you have said your part, now I am telling you my part, trust me, I have no problem with you both being together." he says at which Aaira sees him

" Yes I agree, in the beginning I really pretended but now I really have no problem with the relationship between you two, I am really happy." He says that but she still doesn't believe it.

" No, you are still lying for my happiness." She says

" Well I will not say much because obviously you have inherited this disease of over thinking from your parents...." he says to which she sees him

" But I swear on my life my Avni, that I am telling the truth. Do you need more proof of my truthfulness than this?" He says to which she gets shocked, he is telling the truth, he really has no problem with Reyansh and her relationship?
The way he has proved his truthfulness, there is no room for doubt after that.

" What I did was only because you know Papa can't live without you, two months were not less for me, I couldn't stay away from you, and that was the only reason I got you an internship here." He says to which she looks at him

" But I have realized that it was wrong of me to do this. I did not know that doing this would make you so sad, but now I will correct my mistake...I will get things done as they were, you go with him to Delhi." he says making her shocked again

" Because it is better to be happy with him than to stay and cry with me, Papa doesn't want anything more than your happiness." He says to which she gets shocked and before he can say anything else, she says
