Neil's New Guest (Complete 11 Parts)

Avni wiped her eyes as she looked down at the letter

Dear Avni,
My Avni. For a long time I have known that Dayavanti will finish me.
But in my last moments, I heard her promise that Ashish will go to jail for my death.
He is innocent and you must save him.
I waited till you were old enough for this letter to be given to you.

There is a man, Prakash Khanna, who is waiting for you to move in there , so that he can help you.
I wish you all the best and remember you are not alone.


Avni traced the words on the letter, the last thing she has to remember her mother.

Standing up she zipped up her bag, walking out of the house she slammed the door



"Neil, our guest arrives today, ensure they are comfortable and happy here. From here onwards it is our job to make sure she is safe and she gets justice"

Neil took his fathers hand "I promise, I will ensure our guest gets the justice they deserve"

Prakash patted him on the shoulder before walking away


Avni stood at the doors of the house, lifting her hand to knock she sighed heavily and knocked on the door

Today would start her mission for justice and from this moment onward, Avni would be strong.

Neil's hand rested on the handle of the door ready to tug it open
Avni knelt down to pick her bags up as the door opened

This is a bit of a different premise, Ashish is still alive but in prison for Ayesha's death.

Dayavanti has passed away and Ali wont be in this story.

Anyway, if you think I should continue, please let me know!

Neil opened the door to see Avni.
Immediatley he was blown away by her beauty.

As her eyes met his, she smiled.
Holding her hand out , he took it.

His hand spread warmth throughout her body.
"Assalamo aleikum"

Neil greeted her back, he distinctly remembered being told she was raised in a muslim home.

"I am looking for Prakash"
Neil nodded "Hes my father, please come in"

Taking her bags, he showed her to her room
"My father asked that you take some time to settle in before we start talking about Ashish"

Avni felt anxious, holding the wall tighlty she nodded
Neil smiled "If hes innocent Avni , he will be free"

"Thank you uh"
"Neil, my name is Neil"

Avni smiled "Neil "

Neil walked away smiling, he liked the way his name sounded when she said it

Shaking his head he huffed loudly
"Dont get distracted Neil, shes a guest"

Avni was walking around trying to find the kitchen when she saw a shadow of someone sat on the sofa

Walking over she rested her hand on their shoulder
Neil turned to see Avni

Wiping his eyes he stood up "Arre Avni, what are you doing up so late"

"Are you crying "
Sitting him down, she sat next to him

"A young girl I was trying to save, she didnt make it, we found the body"
Avni closed her eyes, saddened by the loss of the young girl

It hit quite close to home, that could have been her.

"Are you a doctor"
"No, a police officer"
Avni nodded, Neil rested his head on her lap as she stroked his hair

Avni closed her eyes as a lone tear made its way down her cheek, she sang the lori her mother would sing for her when she was sad

"Aa leke chalun tujhko
Ek aise desh mein
Aa leke chalun tujhko
Ek aise desh mein
Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Pariyon ke bhes mein..
Aa leke chalun tujhko

Ho chand chahe aadha
Ho phir bhi roshni
Ho chand chahe aadha
Ho phir bhi roshni
Ummeed jo na chhute
Har baat hai bani

Raaton ke sur se nikle
Subah ki raagini
Lori tujhe sunaun
Lori tujhe sunaun
Bachpan ki ek main
Lori tujhe sunaun
Bachpan ki ek main

Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Pariyon ke bhes mein..
Aa leke chalun tujhko..

Main aasmaan ko khidkiyon se
Ghar mein laa doon
Main aasmaan ko khidkiyon se
Ghar mein laa doon

Saare ke saare taare
Yahan chun le la doon
Sapno mein rang mann ke
Yoon hi bharti aayi hoon"

Neil noticed how sad she sounded when she sang, but her voice was beautiful none the less

She pulled at his heartstrings and he wanted nothing more but to help her

Avni opened her eyes to see Neil had fallen asleep, placing a cushion under his head she got up and returned to her room

Avni walked over to the breakfast table, Prakash pulled a chair back

"Sorry I didnt get to meet you last night, I was busy with work, this is my wife Shweta, and this is my son Neil who you have already met"

Avni took their blessings and then sat down
Neil eyed her from across the table as she smiled up at him

Shweta nudged Prakash happily and pointed to Neil

Prakash noted how Neil looked at Avni and smiled, maybe having Avni here would do Neil some good to

"Neil, why dont you take Avni out today and show her around"

"Aunty thats not necessary"
Neil gulped down his drink quickly

"No , it will be good for you to know your way around, dont you think"?

He did have a point, so Avni agreed and got up to get ready

Neil stood watching Avni as she walked towards him
"Shall we go"

Blinking he agreed, as they both sat in the car

The car jolted forward, Neil stretched out his hand to stop her from falling
Thanking him she sat back


"So is there anywhere you would like to see"
Avni thought fot a while
"Is there a mosque near by"

Neil nodded, driving there
He wasnt sure what it was about Avni, but even simple tasks like driving became hard in her presence

Avni pulled her scarf over her head as Neil leaned against the car bonnet

"Arent you going to come in"
Neil shook his head as Avni removed her shoes and made her way to the mosque

After praying she bumped into a homeless man
His eyes had a dangerous glint as he squeezed her arms

"I see it in you"
Avni's brows furrowed "see what"

Shoving her backwards "Death"

Avni grasped onto the wall as she watched the man turn away

Neil ran over to her "Avni are you okay "

"Yeah I just, I think he hurt my arm"
"Let me just phone it in"

Avni shook her head "Leave it, I didnt know him, its nothing "

"But youre shaking"
Avni rubbed her hands over her arms "Thats because its cold, if you dont mind id like to go back and rest now "

Neil agreed but looked over her anxiously

As they arrived back Avni walked straight back to her room

Shutting the door she flicked through her pictures, stopping at her brothers picture she traced his eyes

The eyes the exact same as the stranger in the mosque

"Where are you Aman"
Avni wiped away a tear as she held his picture to her chest

"Whos Aman"
Avni dropped the pictures to the floor as she stood up

"My brother, when my mother died, he went missing"
Neil stepped closer making Avni step back

"What are you hiding from me"
Shaking her head she stuttered "Nothing Neil, nothing"

As her legs hit the bed she toppled back, gripping his top for support they both fell onto the bed

His aftershave assaulted her senses as she closed her eyes taking a deep breath in

She was even more beautiful close up, moving her hair out of her face, his fingers lingered on her cheek , she shivered at his touch

Getting up, he grasped her hand yanking her up making her chest hit his

"Promise me youre not hiding anything"
Grabbing her hand he held it in his

"I think the man that grabbed me could be Aman"

Neil nodded in reply and walked out

Resting her hand on her heart she sighed
Why did her heart beat so fast whenever he was near

However few questions

Avni and Neil met... within few hours, he slept on her lap and she sung the lori ? Kind of difficult to digest since they are complete strangers...

And i don't think women are allowed to mosques... correct me if I'm wrong. Women only go to dargahs and not mosques. Only men go to mosque as per what i knw and follow in my city..

Thank you!😊

Hey, thanks for commenting!

There is a reason, that hasnt yet been revealed as to why she sang the lori to him within a few hours, it wont be the first time they get close very quickly but as they both get confused it will be explained

Okay, so that is my mistake, in the UK women can visit mosques so I apologise if they cannot do that elsewhere, would you prefer me to change it?

Ohh cool... will look forward to reading more

Hey no u need not have to change as such.. it was just my doubt... bcz in India women aren't allowed in mosques . They can only visit dargahs

Thank you! I was not aware of that, thanks for letting me know⭐️
