Its a good suspicion, im sure youll find out soon! Thank you! The next update may be a bit of time as its going to be longer than usual, much love xoxo

Thank you! No problem:)

I dont want to spoil anything but just trust that whatever happens will be sorted x

Avni walked up to the desk "I want to see Neil Khanna please"
"Room 346" the nurse smiled as Avni thanked her and went to find the room

She stopped as she walked in, she suddenly couldnt breathe, Neil's body was covered with a white sheet

Running over she grasped the bars on the bed "No, you cant leave me yet, we still have so much to get through, ill do anything if you just come back to me"

She stopped sobbing when she heard laughter
Pulling the sheet back Neil was wiping tears of laughter from his face

"I only have slight smoke inhalation an a broken leg"
Avni poured the jug of water on him

"Hey, im an injured man"
"Ill make you more injured, how dare you do that to me, do you know what, you can rot here im going home"

Neil grabbed her wrist "Okay baba im sorry, do you forgive me"
Avni shook her head
"What do I have to do to get your forgiveness "

Avni tapped her chin , leaning down she whispered something in his ear
Neil's eyes widened "I cant do that"

Avni shrugged "Okay, then no forgiveness"
Neil rolled his eyes "Fine, ill do it"

"Neil your boss told me about the choice he asked you to make, what are you going to do"

"Is it not obvious " he asked as he pulled himself up
She shook her head
"I pick you, ill always pick you, this way I can keep you safe and be with you"

"But Neil I dont want you to lose your job"
"So you want me to go look after other girls"

"Thats not what I said, stop messing about "
Neil gasped "Youre so rude, I think I might cry"
"Good, youre such a baby"

Neil turned his face away , Avni tried to hold her laughter in
"I support whatever decision you make"

Neil looked back at her "Good, I have enough money for a future with you and if I pick my job I will never be happy without you"

Avni squeezed his cheek "Cute arent you, anyway Roy said he would take care of the jewel for me"

"Do you want to give it to him"
Avni shrugged "My real mother gave it to me before she died, so no, not really"

Neil nodded "Then dont, I get it completley, I never get to see my family much anymore"
Avni rested her hand in his, smiling at him

" How did you know about the bomb"
"Vivaan sent a letter hinting about it when he told Roy about us"

Avni nodded "I dont even know what he looks like, I was so young when he was around, he could be anyone"

Avni stopped as her phone rang
Neil shook his head "You managed to save your phone, but not me"

Avni poked her tounge out as she answered
After explaining everything to Neela, she made her way to the hospital

30 minutes later, Neela was walking up the halls when she got foot stuck so stopped to sort it

Avni sat outside the room with Roy "I think ill stay with him tonight" said Avni
Roy nodded "Go see him now, ill keep guard out here and let you know when Neela gets here"

Thanking him she walked back into Neil's room
Neela arrived outside the room, a voice stopped her from going in

Turning around she felt her blood go cold
"Vivaan"

Aw, thank you! Much love❤️

"Avni, can I speak with you" asked Neela
Avni followed Neela outside the hospital room, looking around she realised Roy must have returned home.

"Neela Ma, what took you so long to get here"
Neela gulped "I was organising your marriage"

Avni laughed "But Neil hasnt proposed yet"
Neela shook her head "All this with Neil has to stop, its just baseless flirting, Neil must return to his job, he wont pick his job over you"

Avni shook her head in disbelief "But you even said Neil was different"
Neela shrugged "I was wrong, youre meeting the guy tomorrow and then were moving away to a new house I found"

"But I want Neil"
"Just do this one thing for me Avni"

Avni bit her lip in frustration but agreed
"Neil can come home tomorrow, you can stay with him until then"

Avni nodded as Neela walked away

*FLASHBACK*

"Vivaan "
"The one and only, look sweetheart, if you want Avni safe, then you get her married off and away from you and Neil, I wont let her ruin you both "

"You know nothing about Avni, youre so wrong about her"
Vivaan smiled "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Roy, Neil's boss, who the hell do you think sent Neil here"

Neela gasped "He loves Avni"
Vivaan laughed "Like you thought I loved you, either send her away or I will make sure shes heartbroken and then dead"

Walking away Neela fell against the door
She prayed that Vivaan was lying , wiping her tears she stood up and walked into the hospital room

*FLASHBACK OVER *

Avni walked back into Neil's hospital room, he had fallen asleep

Sitting on the seat next to him, she stroked his hair
"I would pick you over anyone Khanna, just never my mother" her voice broke as she stood up and walked to the other side of the room

Neil opened one eye, he was very confused, what was she on about?

Avni wiped her eyes and turned back around
Neil shut his eyes quickly

"Tomorrow I have to meet the man I will marry, I know I will never be happy if that man is not you, but Neela Ma has done so much for me, I atleast owe her this"

Walking toward him she grasped his hand, pressing a kiss to his palm, she slipped off her necklace and slipped it in his hand

"This necklace is the root of all these issues, but it ensured I met a wonderful man like you, I like to think its my real mothers grace, I am sure she would have approved of you, so I am giving you this, because you always have my heart and now youll have this, because youre the only person I know will take care of it properly"

Neil grimaced as he heard Avni begin to sob, her voice was raspy as she cried

"Im not sure if I told you this, but I am so in love with you Khanna and I hope you can find it in you to forgive me for what happens tomorrow, my heart will always be yours I promise you that, no one will ever have your place in my heart, I love you, now and forever and I hope youll love me to"

Avni bent her head down "I want you to be happy, marry someone, fall in love, do whatever you need to, just dont hate me , please God don't hate me, because I couldnt live with that"

Neil wanted nothing more then to open his eyes, comfort her and tell her all would be okay.

But he didnt want her to have to pick between him and Neela, he didnt want to pressure her.

Avni stood up, pressing a kiss to his lips, he could taste salt from her tears as she pulled back, he heard the door slam

Turning on his side, he let his emotions out, sobbing into his pillow he cried himself to sleep

Dreams of Avni tormented him , the girl he had loved and lost.

This chapter is dedicated to Tumpa12 for working out who Vivaan was x

Avni sat infront of the man she was meant to marry, her eyes were dull and her face pale

Neela couldn't bare to look at her, showing her so hurt
The wedding was to take place in 2 days, Neela hoped that she could somehow stop this marriage and save Avni's life

Walking outside she saw Neil sat in his wheelchair
Walking forward she glared at him

"Why did you do it Neil"
Neil was confused "Do what"

"Make Avni think you loved her when you were really just working with Vivaan"
Neil furrowed his brows

"I do love Avni, more than anything , what do you mean working with Vivaan, I dont even know what he looks like"

Neela shook her head "Roy your boss is Vivaan, he said he sent you here on purpose to trick her into loving you, he ssid I had to get her married to someone to keep her safe"

Neil shook his head, holding out the necklace "If I was bad, why would I show you that Avni gave this to me"

"Youve got to help me Neil, help me save her"
Neil held out his hand "You have my word I will keep her safe"

Neela thanked him before returning inside
Avni stood up, walking towards Neela

"The wedding is going to be moved to tomorrow"
Neela tried to control her emotions as she nodded

*The Next Day*

Avni stood infront of a mirror in her wedding gown
She looked at the bangles adorned on her wrist but couldnt help but feel sick

Walking downstairs she walked outside to sit in the car next to Neela ready to drive to the Venue

The car started , Vivaan winked at Neela through the front mirror, her eyes widened as he pushed his foot down

Arriving at the top of a cliff he stopped the car
"Neela Ma, what are we"

Getting out he grabbed Avni and pulled her onto the floor as Neela jumped out
"Vivaan no please " Neela begged

Avni looked up "Roy"
He shook his head "Vivaan"

As Avni fell into the mud, she looked up to see a tied up Neil

Getting up she ran towards him, untying him

Vivaan laughed "What can he do, his leg is broke, you Avni ruined my life, now my career, you and your disgusting "

"Vivaan" Neil shouted
"Dont you speak another word against her"

"What you gonna do Neil, hit me? Oh yeah, thats right you can't get up"
Ripping Avni's dress from behind she moved herself back as he put a gun to Neela's forehead

Neil tried to move, tipping his wheelchair over he fell to the ground
Avni shouted his name

"Go near him and Neela here is dead"
Avni froze straight away, her eyes wandering from Neil to Neela in despair

Grabbing a knife from his pocket he carved a V on Neela's back as she hissed in pain

Dropping her to the floor, Avni crawled towards her, holding her to her

Walking over to Neil he kicked him , making him grunt in pain
"Neil " Avni sobbed

She looked at the gun on the floor, stretching her leg out, she brought it closer to her

Standing up she held the gun as Neil pulled himself up
Vivaan laughed "Come on Neily boy, hit me"

"Hey" Avni shouted
Pressing her finger on the trigger she let go, the bullet went flying , Vivaan jumped out of the way as it hit Neil's chest

He fell to the floor with the impact
Vivaan ran back over to Neela, yanking hee hair, he threw her in the car and locked it

"Neil, Neil stay with me" Avni begged as she made her way to him
"You dont call me that" his voice was husky as he laughed then hissed in pain, holding his chest

"Oh Khanna, im so sorry"
Her fingers held his as Vivaan neared her
Dragging her away, her fingers slowly let go of his

Neil shouted her name, trying to move forward as she held her hands out, gripping the mud in order to stop herself

Neil hissed in pain again, falling back to the floor
Throwing her in the car, he got in and started to drive

Avni slammed her hands on the window as she cried
"Avni" he shouted, but all he heard in response was an echo as he let his eyes close
