next morning morning shweta came to Neil room to put his clothes on the wardrobe. When she saw the way Neil was sleeping
Shweta: this guy always sleepings anyhow. She moved near him and placed Neil’s pillow properly and covered him with a blanket when she saw something on his chest.
Shweta: what’s this she said confusingly and carefully moved it from Neil’s chest and turned that photo around to see juhis picture
Shweta eyes got tears she always loved juhi but fate had other plans. She remembered one of her convo that she had with juhi when both were joking about and talking
Flashback
Juhi: shweta aunty i am just in love with your pasta
Shweta: don’t worry juhi I will also teachs u how to makes pasta like this for your Neil she said elbowing juhi who blushed
Neil: what’s going on here
Juhi: nothing just learning how to make pasta
Neil: what? U don’t know how to make pasta he said in dramatic way
Juhi: no is that a crime
Neil: of course it is what will I tell my colleagues that my love doesn’t know how to cook
Juhi: really then y don’t u do one thing?… find someone else she said playing along with Neil
Neil: not a bad idea he said in a thinking mode
Juhi: aunty I’m going. So do one thing start searching for another girl for this IPS officer.
Neil: where do u think u r going he said holding her hand
Juhi: to look for another guy.
Neil: don’t even think about it u won’t find anyone better than me
Juhi: really self praising your self.
Neil: of course. Don’t u ever think about leaving me… shweta smiled seen them like that… juhi moved towards shweta and hugged her from the back
Juhi: really? What if something happened to me then? Aunty do one thing look for a good girl for this guy.
Neil gave a serious look to Juhi
Neil: nothing is going to happen to u. So stop saying stuff like this.
Juhi: oh hello I was only joking. Not fair mr khanna u can joke but I can’t. Neil was about to answer back when he got a call and left the two ladies in the kitchen
Shweta: Juhi y do u say stuff like this
Juhi: I just said it in a joking way aunty but Promise me one thing
Shweta: what
Juhi: if I’m not with Neil then make sure he moves on in life.
Shweta: Juhi u started agains
Juhi: I’m just saying it for my satisfaction aunty u never know what can happen in the future
Shweta: everything wells with happen. U don’t worries.
Flashback ends
Shweta: that time u said u were only saying things like that but look here I am trying to fully your
Promise and trying to make Neil move on. She placed the photo back in the drawer and left the room.
At the airport Neela arrived and waited for someone to come. She was moving from one place
To another and finally saw a man coming out. She smiled and went to hug that man… breaking that hug after few mins
Neela: how r u ?
Man: all good and u. He said cupping her cheek.
Neela: fit and fine
Man: u didn’t tell anyone about my arrival right?
Neela : nobody knows… let’s go I want to see how they react seen u.
The man smiled seen how excited Neela was and both left the airport to go home.
Meanwhile at the parikh house nanno was in the garden it was 8am
Nanno: where is Neela usually she would be up early and meet me in the kitchen but today there is no sign of her. … Fatima u r stupid try calling her… she said to herself
After few rings Neela answered
Nanno: Neela .. beta where r u ?
Neela: maa I’m just coming home now
Nano: but where did u go so early in the morning
Neela: maa u will know once I come home ok bye. She cut the call before nanno can answer her more
Nanno: everyone is the same nobody bother to inform anything to each other she said getting irritated
Aman: hey nanno why r u mumbling to yourself
Nanno: your maa went out without telling anyone and when I called her she says she will talk when she comes home
Aman: out so early
Nanno: that’s what I’m wondering
Aman: nanno here have some tea he said giving her a cup but nanno put it down angrily
Nanno: ‘no I won’t be able to have it without your maa. I have got so use to having my cup of tea with her that it feels odd drinking it without her … avni came and heard nanno say that
Avni: awww so much love between u and mama she said teasingly
Nanno: so she is my daughter after all nanno said proudly,
Few mins later they saw Neela walking in with a smile on her face
Nanno: Neela where did u go without telling and when I ask u , instead of answering u say u will speak when u come home
Neela: maa relax I’m sorry I had to go without tell u all. But if I told u then there would be no fun in the surprise
Avni/aman: surprise they said looking at Neela and then at each other

Neela went in and bought the person in the garden…Neela went to nanno and whispers to her to open her eyes . Nanno looked at Neela irrationally and then Neela told her to look ahead . When nanno looked ahead she was surprised and then smiled
Neela: aman, Avni open your eyes bacha both slowly opened their eyes… aman was happy and ran to the person and hugged him tightly.. while avni stood there

Bebe took of her glasses
Bebe :feeling a little better tillu
Neil: don’t worry u will be fine soon as I know how to make u forget all your stress Bebe had a smile on her face but inside she was curious as to what Neil was talking about as she has to pretend to be unwell until she doesn’t convince Neil into getting married

Neil: u will find out by this afternoon till then just relax without any stress. With that Neil left the room.
Bebe:I wonder what this guy has planned before this ill drama goes in vain I will have to convince Neil.

Kareena: nope I cant as I missed u loads
Neil: same here. Maddy bua he said moving Towards her and took her blessing and then hugged her
Neil: how r u bua
Maddy: for now all good she said giving a sad smile and Neil understood
Neil: y don’t u leave him
Maddy: he already left me… anyways how comes u called us here all of a sudden.
Neil : actually Bebe is not feeling well for the past few days and doctor uncle said she is probably stressing about something. So I thought y not call u and Kareena here for some time so that Bebe will feel better
Maddy: how can Bebe feel better when she has shweta bhabhi around her all the time making mistakes she thought to herself
Neil: bua what happened where r u lost
Maddy: nothing u did the right thing by calling us
Neil dragged the Trolley which had their luggage and placed it in the car and three headed to the khanna mansion
Neela was with Hemant in his room… looking at his reports

Hemant: Ariel that’s nothing it just that I had a little bit of sweet food but the doctors wrote on the report that it got very high
Neela: u really become a kid when it comes to giving explanation… till your diabetes is not in Control no sweets for u.

Neela: no means no ok
Avni: nanu here try some halwa
Neela: bacha here I am stopping him from eating sweet things and u r bringing him halwa.
Avni: mama relax nanu try this she said moving the spoon into hemant mouth
Hemant chewed on it and
Hemant: Avni beta this is amazing

Avni : maa don’t give me that look
Neela: Avni… bacha.. baba diabetes is not In control and u r giving him this sweet dish full of sugar
Avni: god u really think I would do that. I didn’t add any sugar

Avni : yh because I added some sweet mango in it. Nanno new recipe u see .. Neela looked amazed and hemant laughed
Hemant: and u were accusing my granddaughter of feeding me sweet dish he said taking the bowl of Avni savouring the taste of the halwa
Neela got up and kissed Avni on the forehead
