Neil dragged Avni along with him outside the house.
He started his bike and asked Avni to hop on . ( dedicated to avneil_nk_lover )

Avni kept her hands on his shoulders which he pulled and placed on his waist. She tried to keep distance between them but every time he applied brakes she was pulled towards him. Through his rear view mirror he saw his angel's face changing its time to a red shade from milky one.

The light cold breeze lightly brushed them causing their hairs to dance in Rhythm of nature. The light music from the nature aided to the romantic drive.
Due to light cold Avni herself pulled towards Neil unknowing to her and pressed herself against his body. 

She didn't knew where they were heading to . He stopped at a street tea shop .

He asked for two teas and they sat on the bench .

" Avni prepare yourselves. We are going to meet someone. This requires a bit of courage. But trust new. You have to do it so that you will get rid of that nightmare soon."

Soon the tea arrived and while sipping through the tea they looked at each other. Avni was tensed about what's coming and Neil was tensed about how will Avni react to his plan. But he had to do it for his angel.

Soon they resumed their journey . Avni was shocked to see the board in front of hers.

It was a prison. She was confused why they were here. Avni froze at her place.

Neil gently pulled her into the prison. Neil showed his ID at the entrance and they guard permitted them inside after saluting him.

Avni fearfully walked along with him clutching his arms tightly. Her eyes were fluttering constantly.

" Don't worry dear. I won't let anything happen to you." Neil assured.

Both of them met the warden. Avni sat in a place and warden and Neil continued to have some discussion.

Avni and Neil waited at the place and soon a man whose hands were chained with handcuffs entered along with Handcuffs.

Seeing the man Avni stood up in fear and moved close to Neil who was standing near her. She hid behind Neil .

She had flashes of that dreadful day seeing Vaishnav

" Avni move in front . Face him. He is the reason behind your nightmares. He trapped your sister .He is the one who destroyed many girls and families dreams . He is the one who pushed many girls into dark.someone like him is behind losing your parents Punish him."
Neil pulled out Avni from her comfort zone.

Avni shivered .  But the words from her husband made her to overcome her fear and she gathered courage and looked fiercely into his eyes

Slap
She continued slapping until her hands were tired. She hugged Neil and cried .

Neil indicated the police officer to take Vaishnav back to his cell and hugged her back.

" Shhhh.. Avni it's okay. Cry your heart out . Now no more nightmares. You have faced him. He is now in his cell. " he caressed her hairs.

The ride back to Khanna mansion was silent. Avni's heart was light . Neil was happy to see his angel's face calm and bright. Her mind was at peace after a big storm.

They were welcomed at the door by Swetha.

" Where were you both?went for late night date? Tell me tell me. Where did you go? "  Swetha asked them excited.

" Mom , Nothing like that . We just had a bike ride. " Neil told her.

" Only bike ride? You should have taken her to somewhere. I will have to arrange a date for you it seems. Neil be little romantic to her. Don't spoil your Dad's image. Your Dad was no less than a romantic hero at his young age." Swetha sighed .

" Mom it's getting really late. She looks really tired . Let her sleep." Neil told his mom.

Avni and Neil reaches his room upstairs .

" How do you feel now? Are you still scared of that day?"

She nodded her head in both sides saying a no.
She smiled a little and conveyed
'Thank you.'
Then she hugged him tightly which Neil also reciprocated. After a while they broke from the hug .

Neil saw the neckpiece still in his bed . He took it out from the box .

He moved closed to Avni and made her turn and he tied around her neck . She felt his fingers and hot breath fanning behind her neck bringing sensations to her mind. He again turned her to face him and cupped her face and kissed her on her forehead. She clutched on his T-shirt . When they tried to break the hug her chain was entangled with his chain . When she struggled to remove it the heart was lightly opened and something fell down.

" What's this? "

Neil bend down to take the "thing "that fell down from the chain.

" Boss , Mr. Rana is on the line." A man told Chauhan.

" Hello Mr. Rana."

" Hello.. So all set for the party?"

" Yes . You will be coming right?"

" Of course. I want superior packet just like last time."

" Sure Mr. Rana. We will arrange the most precious packet for you. You will have a memorable time this time . Better than last time." Chauhan assured Rana.

" Okay . We will meet in the party." Rana disconnected the call.

" Boss what will we do? Where will we get the girl for Rana."

" Don't worry Donkey. I have found the fabulous packet for him."

He smirked evilly.

" It's a chip." Neil told wondering what will be in it.

Avni continued to arrange the cupboard that she left in between
He inserted it into his card reader. He opened the file in it. He was shocked at the contents.

" Thank you Avni Thank you. You don't know what you have done for me. " He hugged and kissed Avni on  both her cheeks. Avni was surprised.

What has happened to him. Why did he become so happy all of a sudden. What was in that chip?
Avni wondered .

Neil suddenly took his phone and called DD.

" DD arrange meeting with commissioner tomorrow. We are near to close the case. " Neil spoke enthusiastically.

'I will give justice to your parents death Avni . We will have a peaceful life ahead free from all the burdens of past.' Neil thought in mind.

" Avni it's getting late. Go to your room and sleep tight. "

But Avni didn't go to her room instead she advanced towards him and hugged him tightly and told him

" Neil,  I love you "
