Chapter 21 

"I need to talk to them,"  Neil said while  getting up from his chair. Then he  moved out but not before glancing at the file again, which had the name Avni Mehta.

Yesterday night, after putting her to sleep comfortably, he felt the cold wind coming inside, so he went to close the window and was going to move toward her when something came under his feet. Taking a step back, he saw it was a pendent.

It was the pendent that her father gave her on her last birthday before he died. It was of gold with some diamonds on the heart-shaped cover and opening it . It had two small  frames inside  where she had put her parents' photo on either side. Neiil had  many times noticed her wearing it, so it wasn't difficult for him to know who it belonged to. 

Opening the pendent, he knew the person , being in the business field, it wasn't hard for him to  recognise the successful millionaire of his own time ,  especially whose death was still a mystery.

But why did she have this pic??

This question kept rising in his mind. So he called the one who could give the answer to all his questions.

Neil - Gaurav  I want all the information  about Avni Mehta. He spoke while staring her sleeping form. Gaurav is his private investigator and one of the most trust worthy person of his.

" I want that file early in the morning, and you know what to do." He said, "I'm saying this he ended the call 

He was moving out but was stopped by the voice.

"Neil"

Avni, after completing her studies, glances outside. It was going to be evening. 

 Maybe now he would be free from his official work 

She thought as in the morning she didn't get a chance to thank him and in the afternoon he was busy due to some important work and asked not to disturb him.

She was getting down from the stairs when she saw him.

"What??" he asked, turning toward her 

Avni upped her lashes at him but immediately looked down when she saw him staring her.

Avni - I.i wanted to tha...thank you she said, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Why??" he asked confusingly 

Avni - For helping me yesterday if you wouldn't have come then.... She stopped and took a deep breath and upped her lashes staring at his chocolate eyes.

Avni - "Anyways, thank you ,Thank you for helping me..." he was going to say something, but she cut him in between.

Avni -" I know you would have done that for any girl, but yesterday that girl was me, so thank you once again." She said, giving him a small smile at last, then turned away

Neil - "Of course I would have done that for any other girl, but I wouldn't have felt her pain like I felt yours." He said, staring at her retreating form and then turning away.

"Avni control yourself," She said, standing in the dining room  while putting her right palm  on her heart. Don't know why she always gets nervous after seeing him. Like her body started performing on its own. 

Maybe our marriage was arranged or I can say it was  forced but at least we can behave civilians with each other right.

She knows whatever he did yesterday  that he would have done that for any other girl, but does it matter for her? No , she can't say that she is not hurt, but she can't do anything.
