One week passed to Avneil’s alliance and after that Avni and Neil did not talk. Avni wanted to talk to Neil but she was feeling shy and on the other side, Neil was busy with his office work and did not miss Avni. 
One day, Neil met Ashish in the cafe. 
Neil: when will you sign the papers? 
Ashish: on your wedding day. 
Neil looked at him. 
Ashish: at the time of the farewell, I will give the papers in gift wrap with Avni’s luggage. 
Neil: what if you double-cross me? 
Ashish: I am a father of a daughter I can’t even think of double-crossing you. 
Neil was looking at him. 
Ashish: by the way, when will you take Avni for the dinner? 
Neil frowns. 
Ashish: remember Neil, you just don’t have to marry her, she should be your first priority. I can’t see tears in my daughter’s eyes. If I got to know that she is not happy with you then you will face the worst of me. 
Neil was looking at him. 
Neil: If you love her so much then why did you make her deal? 
Ashish: mind your language, Neil. I did not make her deal, I am investing in your business for her happiness. 
Neil looked away. Neil looked at Ashish.
Neil: I will fulfil all responsibilities of a good husband. 
Ashish: good for you. 
They looked at each other. 
One random day, Avni went to buy the gift for her parent’s anniversary. She entered the mall and looked around she moved forward and her phone rang. She takes out her phone from her bag and saw Neil’s number. She was surprised to see Neil’s number and was nervous also. Avni bit her lower lip and picked the call after some seconds. 
Avni: hello. 
Neil: Hi, how are you? 
Avni: fine. How are you? 
Neil: good, where are you? 
Avni looked at the mall. 
Avni: ac, actually, I came outside for some work. 
Neil: to the Royal mall? 
Avni was surprised. 
Avni: h, how do you know? 
Neil: magic. 
Avni frowns. 
Neil: by the way, you are looking beautiful in this red dress. 
Avni was amazed to hear that. She looked at herself then she looked here and there. 
Avni: h, how do you know? 
Neil: because I am standing behind you. 
Avni turned and looked for Neil then she saw him and was surprised to see Neil who smiled to see her. Neil showed her the phone and cuts the call he came to her. Avni keeps the phone down. 
Neil: Hi. 
Avni looked down. 
Avni: hi. You? Here? 
Neil: Actually, I was free today so I thought to take you to dinner soooo I went to your home and got to know that you came here for shopping and I came here.
