At the time of the night, the moon and stars were playing hide and seek and the plants were dancing with the wind. The Khanna mansion was lighted by several lights and the moon peeps into Avneil's room from the window where Avni was sleeping on the bed and Neil was not in the room. 
Avni was sleeping suddenly she frowns and panics in asleep. 
Dream: Avni and Neil were standing in the room near the bed. Neil was angrily looking at Avni who looked down. 
Neil: Avni, I told you yesterday to wake up me earlier in the morning. 
Neil shouts: why didn't you wake up me? 
Avni flinched. Neil was angrily looking at her. Neil holds her arms tightly. 
Neil: you knew that today I was going to meet Juhi then why you did not wake up me earlier. 
Neil jerks her. 
Neil: whom I am asking? It was my fault that I ask you to wake up me earlier. You, who herself wake up late in the morning. 
Avni was looking down. 
Person: Neil. 
Avni looked up and Neil turns his face. They saw Juhi. Avni looked at Neil and saw Neil smile to see Juhi. Avni gets hurt and her eyes get moist.
Neil: Juhi. 
Juhi came to them and she hugs Neil. Avni looked down. 
Juhi: Neil, why did you not come to meet me? 
Neil was caressing her hair. 
Neil: sorry, baby, (Avni looked up to hear the word baby) I woke up late today. 
They broke the hug and Neil looked at Avni angrily who was broken. 
Avni turns her side in asleep as she was feeling restless. 
Avni: Neil, you loved me or her? 
Neil frowns then he laughed sarcastically. 
Neil: Love? And you? 
Neil laughed and he looked at Juhi who was smiling. She shows an attitude to Avni then she laughed.
Juhi and Neil were laughing. Neil stopped and looked at Avni angrily. 
Neil: I never loved you. 
Avni was shocked and her eyes were teary. 
Neil: what do you think? If I love you then I behaved like that with you. Hmm? I never loved you. 
Neil holds Juhi's hand and Avni saw that. She looked at Neil. 
Neil: I love Juhi. 
Avni was shocked. She felt like someone pulled the rug from under her feet. 
Dream ends. 
Avni was shivering in sleep. 
Avni murmured: no, no, Neil is mine, no. He, he loves me.
Avni was shivering. 
Later, Neil came into the room and he looked at Avni. Neil slowly comes to her and saw Avni sleeping. Neil sat near her and caressed her hair. 
Neil: Avni, Avni. 
Avni stirs and by hearing Neil's voice, she again recalls her dream. 
Dream: 
Avni was sleeping and Neil was standing near her angrily. 
Neil: Avni, Avni. 
The dream ends.
