He got hold of her, her chest crashed to his chest. She looks at who had evil smirk playing on his lips.
She wriggled in his arm and stomping his foot tried running away but Neil was smart to suppress the pain and tighten the grip on his hold.
He moves closer and learning down whispers.
Neil : where will you go now love? There is no way you can escape from my hold. Can you?
He challenged her making Avni pass smug smirk to Neil and pinched his arm.
Avni : Neil! Leave me! We have a party attend.
Neil : oh really! I forget about that!
Avni : Neil be serious!
Neil : I am serious love! And about the party we won't attend! Before starts throwing any fits let me tell you, party was just excuse! You don't require to be there.
Avni : is this all your plan?
Neil : finally you got me love! This was my plan! Business party was just excuse. But the main plan was to bring you here. And I think I succeeded that.
Neil cupping Avni's face placed a kiss on her forehead. He then kissed her both cheeks. He looks up staring in her eyes, all he saw was love and pure of joy.
Neil blinking his eyes bend his head and their lips touching when he whispered.
Neil : can I kiss you love?
Her consent was his right to ask before he could go any further. Avni hearts whelmed when he asked permission to kiss her.
She also closed her head and bobbed her head. Once he got the permission he captured her lips into his.
He starts kissing her passionately and softly. He sucked her lips like his entire his life was dependent on the kiss. His hand went around her neck pulling her more close to him.
She also responded the kiss with the same passion as his. Her fingers ran into his hair. They kissed each other till they were out of breaths.
Neil smirks and breaking the kiss, a second later captured her lips again after letting few airs passed between them.
Neil broke the kiss and rested his head against hers. His one hand holding hers.
Neil: I love you so much love!
Avni : I love you too Neil!
Neil smiles and moving away holding her hand drags her to other side of ship where he beautifully arranged dinner date.
Avni was amazed seeing the set up. Her eyes bursting with tears, those tears were happy tears. Her heart overwhelmed seeing how much he loves her.
Avni : oh my god! Neil this is so amazing. I love this. Thank you so much.
Neil smiles and pulls a chair making her sit.
Neil pulling a chair opposite her sat down and looks at Avni who squealed seeing the cuisines front of her.
Avni : wow! So many variety of food. Chinese, Italian and Indian! I love you so much Neil. This is my best day.
Neil smiles fullest. His heart was content and satisfied seeing his love being happy over little things.
He starts filling her plate and his own. He pours the wine for themselves and starts digging in.
Neil : how is the food?
Avni : yummy! Very delicious. I love it so much.
Neil nodded his head and ate his food. They were continued with the dinner while talking randomly.
Neil wipes his face with a napkin and looks at Avni who leans back on the chair.
Neil : what about dessert? You can't be too full in just that. Dessert is still pending?
Avni : I can't! I am so full. What's the option dessert?
Neil : why don't you have a look yourself?
Avni nodding her head removes the cover and saw chocolate brownie with custard on top. Her mouth waters seeing the delicious and glorious dessert.
Avni : Chuck that! I think I can squeeze this in my tummy.
Neil chuckles and nodding his head took his dessert which was cheesecake with strawberries.
Neil smiles and taking a spoon of his dessert forward to Avni who looking at him ate it.
She also fed him her dessert.
They finished the dinner and thought to walk around the ship. Neil entwined their hands as they stood by the corner of the ship adoring the view. Avni's head rested on his shoulder.
A cold breeze hitting their body, Avni feeling a cold after a while snuggles closer to Neil making him look at her.
Neil : are you okay? Feeling cold?
Avni : little bit! It's chilling out here!
Neil moves away and took his blazer out and wraps it around Avni's shoulder:
Neil : this will help you! We will stay here for little longer before we head home.
Avni nodded her head and her back pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped around her waist.
Neil stops the car in front yard of malthora mansion. Neil comes out of the car and cupping Avni's face placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Neil : goodnight love! I will see you tomorrow.
Avni : goodnight Neil! I love you!
Neil : I love you too!
He kissed her head again and got inside the car to leave but stopped as he heard her voice. He rolls the window and confusingly looks at Avni.
Neil : what happened?
Avni didn't a word but closing closet kissing his cheek turns back and rushed back inside the mansion.
Neil chuckles and once she was out of his sight he drove away.
Playing with keys in his hand he walks inside the mansion and frowns seeing his family sitting in living hall.
Neil : why are you guys still awake?
Prakash : where did you go Neil?
Neil : dad! Stop the drama. You know where I was. Let me burst your bubble! She said yes!
Prakash smiles hugs him and pats his backs
Prakash :I am so proud and happy for you!
Neil smiles and broke the hug, he hugs his favourite ladies who was happy and tears of joy in their eyes.
Swetha : I have called pandit ji tomorrow. We will perform Pooja then ask him good date for your wedding.
Neil blushed and hiding his blush wishing them goodnight went to his room.
Next morning, Nandini knocks Avni's room and not getting response pushed the door and enters.
She smiles seeing Avni still asleep. She pulls the curtains and moving by the bed starts calling Avni's name up.
Avni opens her eyes and looks at Nandini sitting up with her head against the headboard.
Nandini : good morning mrs would be khanna.
She blushed hearing the new name.
Avni : Bhabhi! Don't tease me!
Nandini : how will I not tease you? This is my chance. Now leave all this. Yesterday we didn't get time to inform you. Mom planed Pooja at home. We will going to khanna mansion. She want you and Bhai to perform the Pooja.
Avni freaks out hearing Nandini.
Avni : what! Pooja? What am I supposed to wear? Bhabhi why I have to sit? Please I don't want to.
Nandini : stop panicking! I have got your back! You relax and fresh up! I will get your saree and jewellery.
Avni : thank you Bhabhi! You're life saviour.
Nandini smiles and went out of the room. Avni picking up her phone dropped a good morning message to Neil. Keeping her phone on charge she went to fresh up.
Nandini comes in the room with all the stuff and puts it on bed. She then walks out of the room.
Avni comes out of the room wearing a bathrobe and saw the attire on the bed. She smiles and thanking Nandini moves to bed.
Abs removes the bathrobe and starts getting ready. She then moves to dressing table and starts applying make up.
She stops in middle and moves to bed side picking her phone up. She smiles watching the caller id.
She answers it and putting on speaker moves back to dressing table.
Avni : hello Neil! Good morning!
Neil : good morning gorgeous! I heard you will be coming home. Is it true?
Avni : you heard it right Neil!
Neil : wow! What are you wearing today?
Avni: saree! Bhabhi brought me saree. It's beautiful colour. I love it!
Neil : I can't wait to see you! Listen mom calling me! I will meet you soon. Bye love you.
Avni : love you too!
She chuckles ending the call and continues getting ready. Once she was ready she glanced herself in the mirror and smiles.
( Avni's attire)
She grabs her phone and bag and walks down the stairs. She smiles seeing her family waiting for her. She greeted them and complimented Nandini.
They all settled in car and drove to khanna mansion.
Suddenly Avni starts feeling nervous, she was going to his family for the first time after their official relationship.
Avni composed herself and looks outside of window.
In khanna mansion swetha and bebe made all the arrangements for the Pooja, food and decorations were all done.
Neil and Prakash did the decoration while the ladies made the food. Neil were went to get ready. He was in his room getting ready when his phone beeped with a message.
He picks up his phone and saw his message from his boy group. He chuckles and ignores their message and went down to help them.
He brought the fruits and gave to pandit ji who was making few arrangements before starting the Pooja.
Pandit : swetha beta! Who will sitting for Pooja?
Swetha : pandit ji! My son and his would be sitting for Pooja along with my daughter and her husband.
Pandit ji nodded his head and tells them he will start soon.
Prakash: Neil can you please call Nandini and ask where they are.
Neil nodded his head and takes his phone to call them but stopped hearing a doorbell. He knew they would have at the door. He went and opens the door welcoming them.
He noticed how dead gorgeous his love looks. He complimented her through his eyes and winks at her as she walked passed him.
( Neil's attire)
Khanna family greets and welcomes them. Avni bends down taking blessing up swetha but swetha stops her and pulls her in a hug.
Swetha : you don't need to do that. Your place is in my arms not down.
Avni smiles and hugs Bebe and side hugs Prakash.
Soon pandit ji calls them to attend the Pooja. They were moved to a temple and sat down.
Swetha : Neil beta and Avni beta! Please sit front and behind you both Nandini and Manik.
The couple nodded their head and sat down...
After the Pooja the both couple took blessing of pandit ji followed by their elders.
Avni and Nandini served parsad to everyone.
Pandit ji looks at swetha then at rest.
Swetha : what happened pandit ji? When is good date to get them married?
Pandit : there is three dates. One after a week, second after a month and last one is after 6 months. I would say after a week is best.
Neil looks at Avni who was shocked seeing the dates. He knew what she might be thinking.
Swetha : thank you pandit ji! We will let you know soon.
Pandit Ji nodded his head and took his leave. Neil took his phone out and messaged Avni before excusing himself and heading to his room.
