At the time of the day, Avni entered the room and saw Neil who was sitting on the bed. He saw Avni and smiled. She also smiled to see him and goes to sit on the couch. Avni opened the laptop and checked the message board at the freelance market. Neil was looking at her, Avni felt his gaze and looked at him. Neil looked away and Avni frowns she thinks and resumes her work. Neil looked at her and kept her head on the hardboard of the bed and stared at Avni. 
At the time of the night, Avni came after changing her dress into a nightdress and to her shock, Neil was sitting there. Neil is at home after his accident but today she is feeling his behaviour strange. Avni looked down and keeps the hair strand behind her hair. She came to her side and lays. Neil looked at her and thinks. Avni was thinking about the lady's word and Neil was also thinking about the same thing. 
The sun rises and the new day began with new hopes, new opportunities, and new challenges. The new day brought many surprises and challenges for the people. 
Avni came after taking shower and was wiping her hair with the towel. She unknowingly came to the bed and flies her hair in the air and the water drops fall on Neil's face. Neil stirs in sleep, he was awake but was still not in a mood to get up. Neil opens his eyes and saw Avni who was wiping her hair with the towel and makes them at her back and runs her hand in them and shakes them. Neil was staring at her. Avni goes to the dressing table and brushes her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and recalled the lady's words. 
Flashback: 
Lady: by the way, Avni why you are wearing such a dull colour, only a few months have passed since your wedding and you are wearing these colours. 
Lady: sorry to say but she doesn't look like a married girl, she looks like a widow. 
Flashback ends. 
Avni was looking at herself in the mirror. She looked at Neil in the mirror and saw him awake. Avni frowns and turns. Neil instantly closed her eyes. Avni frowns. She turns and saw him in the mirror and saw his closed eyes. Avni thinks. She shrugs off her thoughts and got ready and goes to the door. Neil heard the sound of opening the door and he opened his eyes. Neil turns and saw her going. Neil sat and ruffled his hair and smiled. Neil looked at the door. 
Later, In Avneil's room, Avni was standing near the cupboard and was looking at her dress and searching for a dress to wear to the party. She was confused about what to wear. Still, she did not forget Neil's words though Neil behaves with her nicely now but still she can't say anything about Neil when he changes his behaviour. She literally has no idea when and where how Neil will behave. 
Avni: tch, what will I wear? I don't have a single decent dress to wear to the party. 
Avni looked at her dress and bits her thumbnail. She heard Shweta call her name she looked at the door then she closed the cupboard and goes. 
The whole day, Neil was not at home, Avni thought, he went to the office. In the evening, Avni entered the room and was worried about what to wear to the party. She looked up and saw Neil standing near the bed. Neil turns and smiled to see her. 
Neil: Avni. Come, see what I bought? 
Avni goes to him and saw the bed is covered with shopping bags and dresses. 
Avni: you went shopping? 
Neil: of course, what did you think? 
Avni: no, I thought you went to the office. 
Neil smiled. 
Neil: no, I went shopping. By the way, how are the dresses? 
Avni: nice but for whom did you buy it?
