After dinner, Mitali and her family came
"Oh m g! Sam it's been long!" Said Mitali hugging her while sam hugged fakely
"Not long enough" she murmured.
"Sam beta how r u? " said Nina
"Fine aunty! How r u?"
"Well I'm just looking for prospective grooms for my mitu but I think I found one" she said looking at Neil who was playing with with Neasha
"Mitali and Neil? That's like rubber and glue! Never sticks together!" Thought Sam
"Neil beta, take Nisha and Riyaan with you. She seems very sleepy" said Bebe
"Ji Bebe! Let's go my princess" he said carrying Nisha while Kabir carried Riyaan.
"Aur beta, you will have to sleep with Sam as we don't have room" she said to Mitali whose face fell
After Bebe left, Mitali whispered to her mom
"Mom! I need my own room! Can't we sleep in a hotel?" She asked
"Shh you idiot! You have a perfect opportunity to spend time with Neil. Go help him right now with the baby!"
Mitali nodded and rushed upstairs
Sam meanwhile saw Ali sitting fornly on the couch being sad. Dadu who was passing by also noticed this and signalled Sam to come
Sam: Ali what happened? Why are you sitting as if we ran out of ladoos?
Dadu: she is right. I haven't you seen this sad since we told you that Riya was in a accident in Goa
Ali eyes shot up: nothing happened to her now?! Right?!
Sam: Now I understand. You had a fight with Riya
Ali nodded
Dadu: Spill! Nothing that the love guru can't fix
Ali told them what happened. Sam and Dadu shook their head and shared a look. Then on the count of three they both smacked Ali's head hard
Ali: Owwww
He pouted rubbing his head
Sam: I have never seen a bigger duffer than you. No wonder you are Neil's brother! You two are number 1 idiots!
Dadu: I'm actually agreeing with him
Ali: Dadu! What wrong did I do? It's Riya fault
Sam: Ali! Her only dream is to be with you and spend her life with you so she can get your support and love? What's wrong in that?
Dadu: Samaira Puttar is right. She just wanted to spend time with you
Ali: then why didn't she join me in coming? I asked her and she said no
Samaira: it's every girl dream to find a knight in shining armor who she wishes to spend the rest of her life with. But you need to understand that it will be hard for Riya to move right away.
Dadu: marriage is about compromise. You both need to compromise. You love her don't you?
Ali: of course! What kind of question is that?
Samaira: than make sure to tell her that. Why don't you invite her tmr?
Ali nodded
He then left while Sam and Dadu laughed and nodded
Dadu: any love for you beta?
Sam shook her head: there was but due to circumstances, I let go of that love
Dadu: true love will always come back. So don't lose trust
She nodded as her eyes got a bit teary
In Avneil room
Avni was working on a case with her glasses and her computer typing furiously. She was eager to find out about Mr A and how he was undoing the works of the politician.
She then felt her laptop put away and felt herself carried to the bed
Avni: Neil!
Neil: Kya Hua?
Avni: put me. Down!
Neil: no thank you
Avni: Kya?
Neil: you need to sleep like a normal person.
Avni: it's due to certain people I have to work late
Neil: and it's due to certain people who I love, that j have to force them to sleep
Avni: don't you have to spend time with Sam?
Neil who was still holding Avni put her down and looked at her seriously sharing an eyelock
Neil: lagta koi jealous hai wifey
Avni: I'm not jealous
Neil: then why are your cheeks red like a gol tamatar! I love them like that. They are you so cute
Avni: Please Neil! I will never get jealous of the chipku who is always huddling around you. Omg Neilu! Hmmoh
Neil meanwhile was chuckling and seeing that, Avni started hitting him with a pillow
Neil; Avu pls stop. Look Nisha is doing the same to Riyaan
They then rushed to their kid to make Nisha stop. They put the kids in their cribs and headed to sleep. Neil decided to sleep on the couch
"You might be wondering why I'm on the couch but I know you might be uncomfortable with me and I understand so that's why"
Avni smiled at Neil thoughtfulness and she thanked him and went to sleep
While at the Parikh house, Arjun and Alex was getting ready to sleep
Arjun: I'm sorry again honey
Alex: no problem babe! It's no one's fault and I'm glad to be here for Riya's big day. I missed you so much
Arjun: Me too babe
Alex: One of my fellow soldiers friend told me how his love let him go and he doesn't know why she let go easily. I just wish nothing happened like that to us or anyone we know
The next morning, Avni noticed Nisha's crib was empty and Neil was not in the room either. She looked around the room and found Neil in the balcony sleeping with Nisha on his chest both of their mouths open.
"My cute bacha! Every time I see Neil like this, I want to just hug him tight but then I keep remembering the betrayal he gave me" she thought as she pried Nisha off making Neil awake
"Oh Avni! Nisha was awake during the middle of the night and decided to make her asleep with fresh air"
"I do that too with them. But I just open the door a little and stay in the room instead"
Later that day, the Parikh family including Riya, Aman, Nanu -Nani, came over to the Khanna house.
Ali; I have an announcement
He went over to Riya and went on his knee
Ali; Babe, I talked to your fashion house, and they said you are more than capable to handle the house in Singapore. Nanu-Nani can join us and we could stay together
Riya: Sachi?
Ali nodded and hugged her tight which she reciprocated
Nanu: beta I know you will be worried for us but understand that we can take care of ourselves
Rivthik: they have us naa
Neela : go with Ali after marriage for a year. It will be a nice good bonding time for the both of you
She nodded and everyone started to have happy tears.
Sam; hold up! As much as I love a sad fest, j needed to ask Avni something
But before she did, Alex and Arjun arrived
Mitali mom: Bebe who are they?
Rivthik: This is my son Arjun and his husband Alex
Nina: On my god! You two boys are married
Arjun: Yes aunty
Nina: aren't you ashamed! How can two boys get married and live in the society. What will people say?
Rivthik who was annoyed: what's wrong ninaji! Times have changed
Nina: Shwetaji how can you get Ali married into this type of family?
Shweta: When we don't have a problem than why should society?
Bebe: Vaise we r very modern
Nina: But still! It's against God!
Avni; Aunty pls! Please don't say anything against my brother! God made us the way we are so it's better we should accept them. He never told us to not accept. I'm proud of them having the courage to stand up in society
Nina: oye who are you to interfere in people's talk?
Neil; Aunty please don't talk to my wife that way.
Nina: your wife?
Mitali : you got married
Neil: j got married two years back but due to cases, I wanted to keep the marriage a secret so Avni will be protected
Nina; Oh
Sam noticed this
Sam: guys, let's keep the tension off now. I want to see a happy situation. Avni, your kids names are unique and cute like them. How did you come up with it?
Avni smiled: Well Riyaan is a combination of the two people who have been my constant support and friend.
riya and aman.
And Neasha is a combination of my two mothers Neela and Asha which was the stage name for Ayesha maa.
Bebe: Beautiful
Avni: there's more. In the name Neasha, the sh is part of Prakash and Shweta aka papaji and mummyji. They always loved like their daughter
And the ha is is a part of Harleen and Harish aka bebe and nanu who loved me like a granddaughter.
