The entire Mehindi function was filled with high energy as each took their turns in dancing on songs they had rehearsed and a special performance by bride and groom. Sometimes they doubted whether it was their own wedding as Swetha and Neela were the one who were over excited throughout the celebration. Neil shocks everyone singing 'chal meri jaan' for Avni which he had written and composed. Avni melts into tears as he takes her hands waltzing through the floor and kisses her tears assuring her. It was almost midnight when Neil and Avni finally got some time to rest as the pre-wedding rituals came to an end.

It was the first time Avni has ever felt jitters. She thought this is what they call pre wedding blues. It was a plethora of emotions she was feeling at the current moment as she reminisced each and every moment of the day. Be it getting ready to being teased to stealing glances every moment was imprinted in her heart which she will savour forever. She thought her heart might burst as she was so overwhelmed and content. She wondered whether it was a dream and feared she might wake up from it. The  thought of Neil calmed her nerves and a smile appeared involuntarily as her heart overflowed with love for him. Her eyes filled with tears of joy reminiscing their journey and made her miss him badly.

She was locked in bride's room and so was Neil as Swetha made it clear that they shouldn't meet till wedding. She laughed as she felt the ritual to be ridiculous as they were together moments before. Suddenly her mother's voice rang in her head 'This sweet torture you go through will be one of the best memories you will cherish forever. This few hours where you miss each other like you never had is a feeling you can never experience otherwise. So Avni though it may seem ridiculous these are the best moments of your wedding.'

She was broken from her reverie as she felt a faint tug in her hands and found Neil half hanging from the railing. She pulled him up enquiring 'since when were you here hanging in mid air. You must have called for me'. Neil stared in disbelief 'Unbelievable Avni! I had been calling for you for past 5 mins that I almost ended up thinking you have gone deaf. You were busy admiring the moon when your poor husband was hanging from the railing' he mumbles pouting. Avni pulled her ears giving her infamous puppy face as Neil pouted more crossing his hands across his chest. She circled her arm around his neck mumbling'you are gonna be mad on your innocent wife after she sincerely apologised' pouting. Neil breaks into a smile but manages to put on his act whining 'you know how much I had missed but you had only time to admire stupid moon when you should have only missed me'. Avni breaks into laughter and pulls his cheeks. She places a playful kiss on his lips laughing 'you're the only person who can be jealous of moon'. Neil groans 'How wouldn't I be as I had been missing my wife life hell and here she is busy lost in admiring the moon' dipping her.

He mumbles in between their kiss 'Happy Anniversary wifey!' as he deepens the kiss. Avni pouts 'I wanted to be the first to wish you' to which he places a featherlight peck whispering 'does it make a difference.' Avni replies breathlessly 'This is our second anniversary Neil. Unlike first I wanted to make this memorable for us' as he made his way down her neck. He groans 'come on wifey! This is unfair' to which she whispers 'now get ready for the punishment' and rubs her thighs over his and bites his neck making him hot and bothered. Neil gulps as she rubs her thighs on his hard on and smirks blowing an air kiss planning to tease him more.

Just as Neil tries to make his move they hear a heavy knock. Avni thanks her stars fixing her hair and does a happy dance as she opens the door leaving him hanging in midway. Neil curses their timing as they scream 'Happy Anniversary' and throws daggers at Avni who was busy smirking. Swetha clears her throat seeing both busy staring each other breaking them from their staring match. She then pulls Neil's ears 'ek minute bhi raha nahi jata tujhse. Mujhe pata ki you will be here. Han Tillu' furrowing her brows to which he smiles dreamily scratching back of his neck.

They cut the cake and feed each other amidst all the teasing. Ali and DD stealthily smears the cake on their faces and click their photos teasing them. Swetha then clears her throat presenting 'bride-to-be' sash to Avni and makes her to do a fashion walk. Avni has tears of joy as she felt everything to be surreal. Neil assures her giving a side hug and locks his arms with her  pulling her for a fashion walk with him. It's almost past 2 as they lose the track of time amidst all the fun. Neela requests all to rest as tomorrow was the big day and takes Avni along with her quoting the tradition.

Neil lies in his room pouting when his phone rings with Avni's caller ID. He immediately grabs his phone and complains about the injustice making her laugh. He whines 'I didn't get to see you properly the whole day. This is so unfair'. She laughs in return teasing 'I guess they should do this more often so that I can see how much my husband misses me'. He pouts even more groaning 'how can you be so unromantic' to which she raises her eyebrows 'may I refresh your memory of what happened before they entered the room'. He sticks his tongue out and scratches the back of his neck flustered by the mere mention of it. Avni teases him more 'how could a guy be so cute blushing. If only I could take a picture and frame it' to which he retorts 'this is just unfair. I am losing all my brownie points. You know what Avni , I'm not gonna spare you' furrowing. They talk until they drift to sleep lulled by each other's voice losing the track of time.
