"Kya yaar sasur ji?" Neil said, grinning foolishly. Avni just stared at him blankly. How dare he come here? And the approach he took as if nothing happened? Is he mad? A psycho perhaps? And he's asking us to WELCOME HIM? Avni's expression might have showed that "It's It's the court's verdict you know? We have to stay together for 6 months? And I prefer living here! It's so cool. A swimming pool, ahaaa, just lay there. You're very lucky I must say." Neil said acknowledging the house. "Ek second, first of all, I'm not your Sasur ji. Nor YOU ARE MY DAMAAD. It's our house, so just get out." Ashish said, pressurising his voice at proper gaps. "What is this new act of yours?" Avni asked rudely. Neither did she find his act silly, nor did she find him someome important to deal with. "Act. No no. I'm just following the court's order you see. Being a reputed IPS and all. Being so famous and all you know." He self praised himself. "Ya I know how FAMOUS you are. Not even the guards to our mansion know you!" Avni said sarcastically. Neil opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. This humiliation was way too justified to reply back. "Haan to their General knowledge is not good. I come in newspapers." He talked again. "Obviously. Because of some serious crimes and case failures." She said making air quotes. "I'm waiting." He said tapping his foot. "NO ONE'S GOING TO WELCOME YOU NEIL! JUST COME AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! COOK YOUR OWN FOOD! NO ONE'S GOING TO ASK YOU!" Avni yelled finally loosing her cool. She held her head, to stop herself from stumbling. Neil recognized the signs and was about to help but her raised hand stopped him. When she got herself normal again, she was about to say something but Neil started. "Is it happening again Avni?" He asked, concerned. "None of your business."

"Avni answer me? This isn't a joke!" He yelled at her. "Oh just don't tell me who's joking! Neil Khanna, you you take whatever abusive word that suits you the most. Ya you slap me, you kick me out, you distrust me, you doubt me, you don't love me and when you realise your mistake you come here and say Hey What's up? And pretend as if nothing happened. Even if I use all the offensive words, I can't describe you. You're so pathetic. You're such a bastard." "Yaar swaagat karne ko zaroor kaha tha par gaaliyon se nahi yaar {Okay I wanted you to welcome me, but not with offensive words}." Neil complained. Before she could say one word more, "Vaise I came prepared. It's okay. I'll welcome myself." Neil said while Ashish looked at Avni and passed a look like He's mad right? And Avni reciprocated with a look like Not a question to ask. He filled a pot with rice and kept it on the doorstep
. "Wait and watch people." He said waving his hand sideways. "Yaar dad, we have works. UNLIKE someone who's such a SHAMELESS  person." Avni said and was about to go when Neil came in front of her. "NOOOO!" Avni held a disgusting face. Neil kicked the kalash not like a typical bahu but a full fledged Football kick.

"NEIL! CLEAN THE HALL RIGHT NOW!" Avni yelled loudly, catching her breath again. She picked her bagpack and stormed. She hit him with it roughly while muttering "Neil...Khanna . You are a piece if shit!" And finally went away. Neil raised his eyebrows to Ashish. "YOU HEARD HER SAY! And some rules you have to follow. You're not allowed to eat from our food. Cook your own. No servant here will serve you. Clean the room in which you stay. You won't talk to any family member especially that sister of yours. Don't even try to blend with anyone in the house. You want to drown in the pool, we're most thankful for this work if you do. None of your police friends are allowed. Baaki yaad ayenge to sahi." Neil nodded mischievously like a bad boy.

He spent the entire day exploring the home. He reached Neela's room. Going through Avni's childhood pictures. You were so cute! Why then, you had to suffer so much. One picture of her in the pool, grinning. But he saw the same twinkle in the eye. Due to the pain.
He was looking through the album when a video tape propped out. Confidential was written on it. But Neil opened it. He played it and saw Avni in her teenagers. She had changed. A lot. Someone was recording her stupid act. As Neela was sleeping Avni slowly painted her face. The scene changed. Neela was yelling at Avni for particularly a mistake she did and Avni back acted like All I heard was blah blah. The scene changed again and Avni was baking cake, secretly. Without the knowledge of Neela. Wifey you're naughty. Then was another one. Avni said in a hushed tone. "I..I committed suicide. But it failed. I just pour out my happenings to you. Please don't get yourself found by Neela ma." Avni said with tears in her eyes. Neil was shocked. Suicide and her. The scene changed again. It was her again. "Mom nearly caught you. And me. I was trying again. I just don't know what to do. I'm scared if she does find out." She said again. The bell rang. Neil shut it all and rushed. He hadn't expected this. It was Avni. She just ignored him and went past him to.her room. He followed behind. She entered her room, so did he.
"What?"

"What?"
"This is my room."
"I'll stay here." Neil said simply.
"No way!" Avni said.
"Hehe!" Neil grinned.
"Da-" she was about to call out but Neil stopped her. "Don't call him. Jaan le lete hai." He said. They both soon started their pillow fight, soon turned to Chappal Fight from Avni. "You don't want me to go. I know you tried to commit suicide and Neela mA doesn't know about it." He said, escaping one slipper. Avni's eyes widened. "Don't te..tell her." She pleaded. "I'll stay here." And reluctantly she nodded.
Trust me Av, I just wanted to be close. I'll make things alright between us. I'll apologise for my every mistake.
