His words were ringing in her head continuously. No this can't be true. He can't love her. He shouldn't love her. She was a weak girl. He deserved someone better, a girl who could stand by his side through every thick and thin of his life. She should make him realize that, that he can't love her. She was very weak, faints almost every day. The fact is that the medicines she takes are not working on her at all. It was making her more weak. She was sure that, she would never recover, even though the doctor assured her about the same.

No that cannot gappen. You can't love. You should not love me. Aap jaante nahi ho ki main kitna weak hu. You deserve a strong girl, physically and mentally strong girl who can stand by your side in all the hard times. I can't evev walk properly for more than two hours. Yo really should not love me. And you can't love me in the first meet itself. It must be infatuation, it can't be love, cause you will not love me if you know how weak I am.

Avnii..... stop. I love you and now that I started loving you I cannot turn back. You are the first girl who have made me feel all the new emotions that I'm experiencing now, and trust me it's beautiful. Even before I saw you, I knew your name, I got jealous of your brother, cause he was carrying you in his arms. Avni please give me a chance to heal you. Your health doesn't matter to me it's you that maters. I have never wanted anything in my life, like I want you now. He said looking deeply in her eyes.

But, you can't lov......

Shh.... don't say that. There is no use of saying that now, because I'm already in love with you. I know what is stopping you Avni, but please give me a chance. My best friends are doctors and they are best. They could treat you and cure you. If not, I will take care of you. I love you so much, please Avni, please give me chance. Please.... He pleaded.

Aap pehle pura suniye phir kuch kahe. Ok? He nodded. I can never recover. Yeh jo dawaiyan main roz leti hun, shayad woh khake hi main mar jaaunga. He just made a sound at this. You said that you would listen first. Agar main aapse shaadi ki tho aapka life barbaad ho jayenga. You are a good man, you have a high reputation in the society, I can't keep up with it. You will not understand anything now, but after our marriage, I can't become a good wife. Main khudka khyaal hi teekh se nahi rakh saktha, shaadi ke baad mujhe aapka khyal rakhna honga, aapka parivar ko dekhna honga. Mujhe sabka expectations fulfill karna mushkil hongi. Please, please try to understand. I'm not meant for you. I'm not good enough for you. In fact I can't marry anyone and spoil their lives.

Avni first and the most important thing right now is I love you. And then I don't give a damn to my reputation. Log kuch bhi kahe, mujhe unse koyi problem nahi hai. Only you matters. And I have decided that i would marry you. Kal subah tumhe pick karne aajaunga, we can go and meet my nest friends. They will trrat you from tomorrow onwards. Ask your bhai to join you. Ab tum jaao aur rest karlo, you look tired.

Saying this he picked her up in his arms and carries her to her bed, made her lie down said,

Sleep.

She never thought that someone could love her so selflessly, and that too the most handsome, the most eligible bachelor of the town. She was indeed lucky. She will wait till tomorrow, when his best friends will say that she can't be cured, she would make him understand. So she slept there.

After making sure that she was sleeping properly, he went downstairs to meet their parents. Seeing him coming alone, Arjun panicked. Seeing Arjun's expression, Neil said

Woh thak gayi thi, tho maine sone ke liye bola. She is sleeping now.

Arjun sighed and Neil signalled DD.

Cancel all my meetings tomorrow. And check whether Vidyut or Juhi is free tomorrow.

Yes sir. Anything else?

No you can go now. DD left outside to make the necessary arrangements. It was the first timethat Neil was taking an off. DD was surprised, but he didn't show it.

Uncle aunty, if you don't mind, can I change her doctor. I think her medicines are not the right one. My friend is a doctor and I will go and meet him tomorrow. You book an appointment of her doctor for the day after tomorrow. I want to meet him too. And Arjun, you could also come. He said in a bossy voice, clearly indicating that it should not be denied. Well he didn't intend to sound bossy, but it was his tone, he couldn't change it, maybe Avni could, he thought in his mind.

Woh maan gayi shaadi ke liye? Ypu are ready?

I'm ready to marry her. And she will agree tomorrow. She thinks she is not worthy to marry anyone.

Then he went outside. Arjun was a possesive brother, so he went upstairs to chech his sister, and found her sleeping. He then went down, to see that the Khanna's were leaving. He went to them and showed his respect, Neil hugged him, shocking his own parents. He was never the person to hug anyone. Bebe was having a smile on her face like 'ek din nahi ho gaya, aur banda tho pura change hua'. The Khanna's then went back their home.

_______________________________

The next day morning, Neil went to pick Avni up. She was ready, she was determined to prove him wrong. Arjun said that he will directly come to the hospital after going to his office. Neil messaged him the address and they left. They reached the hospital soon. Neil was driving carefully and DD was closely following them in another car.

Neil entered the hospital, and he held Avni's shoulder, because he felt that she was stumbling.

Dr Juhi abhi free hai. We can meet her now. DD informed.

They went to Juhi's cabin and Juhi greeted Neil with a smile,

Long time no see Mr Khanna.

You could have also come and meet me Juhi.

Kya hua and who's she.

Baad me bataunga. You check her for now and tell me what's her problem.

Hmm. Ok. This way please. And she took Avni to a cubicle.

In there Avni explained about her accident and how she faints and all to Juhi. Juhi checked her blood sugar level pressure and did some more tests. Meanwhile Vidyut enters Juhi's cabin and hugs Neil. The three of them best friends from childhood and the other two married each other a year ago. They shared so e pleasantries and Neilshowed Vidyut Avni's medicine prescription. He asked who was taking it. Avni and Juhi came out at the same time, and Neil points towards Avni.

Neil these are very heavy drugs. Such a dose of these drugs is enough to kill a person, if taken for a year.

DD brought Arjun to the cabin then, and he heard Vidyut. He came and took a seat beside Neil. Juhi informed Vidyut about Avni's problems and showed him some reports also. He finally said,

There was no need to take such heavy drugs at all. And she must be fainting frequently because of this too.

So should she stop taking it.

If she suddenly stops taking it, then her health would be at stake. I will reduce the dose to half now. And she would be sort of bedrridden. After completely stopping these medicines, I can prescribe some others. Waise who's her doctor.

Dr Mishra. Arjun replied.

I will talk to him later and ask about the same.

I have fixed an appointment for tomorrow.

That's great. I will also come to meet him tomorrow.

Ok Neil. Checking over. Ab batao yeh kaun hai.

Juhi you didn't guess till now. She must be his fiancée.

To be fiancée. Neil corrected, looking at avni and smirking, she was proved wrong.

And he's her brother, Arjun Mehta and her name's Avni, Avni Mehta.

Nice meeting you Avni. Juhi shaked her hand.

Now back to business, she would not do any work for the coming one week, she won't be able to walk properly, just make sure that she eats well and take her medicines. Chocolate would help. Baaki ka Juhi would explain. I have to leave leave now. Bye Neil. Vidyut left and Juhi informed them about the do's and dont's.

By noon they reached back to Mehta mansion. Avni was asked to take rest by Neil and he and Arjun briefed her parents about Vidyut's words. Neil had his lunch there itself and later he took Avni out.
