"Shut up your dirty mouth and get lost...!! 2 days...only 2 days and i will see that you and your mother get the best punishment !!" Neil shouts at him, holds Avni's hand and goes away into the house fuming with anger.

Avni and Neil rush to their room as they enter the house.

"Damn it !! I've to show him what he really deserves !" Neil bangs his fist on the wall and sheds out his frustration.

"Neil, please. Leave about him now. We need to proceed with our plan as per we discussed last night..." Avni tried to divert his mood.

"Haa...sorry Avni. Yeah we shall start our plan" Neil agreed.

**Juhi's room**

"Juhi...are you there?" Neil knocks the door even though he sees her near her dressing table.

Juhi turns around and her face lits up with a light smile to see Neil in her room.

"Oh Neil, come na...you could walk in right away. Why are u standing there ?" Juhi says with her usual nagging voice.

Neil walks in and hands over a small box to her.

She looks surprised to find that it's a new mobile phone for her.

"Wow Neil...it's so nice. But...it wasn't necessary" she said with hesitation though on the contrary she was very happy to receive it from him.

"It was necessary for me..." Neil mumbled

"What?" Juhi asks as she wasn't able to hear properly.

"Aah... i meant it was necessary to bring this phone for you since i bought new phones for mom and Avni too.Hope you like it and will use it." Neil faked a smile suppressing his inner anger on her. He had to do this as per the plan.

"Ofcourse Neil...I'll use it. Wait a minute, I'll change my sim card to this new phone right in front of you..." juhi says seeming happy but showing on her face evidently now.

Neil thinks in his mind..."i can't stand her anymore..."

"Fine Juhi...I've to leave now" he gives her a fake smile forcefully again and leaves.

But he hides near the door to observe what she does. Juhi conveniently changes the sim card to the new phone and heaves a sigh of happiness and talks to herself quite audibly.

"He still loves me that's why he gave this gift and even took my name as equal as his mom and...and Avni...hmm Avni..,this is just the beginning i will make sure Neil comes back to me and have no place for you in his heart." And she moves to keep the box in her cupboard while Neil fumes in anger as he overhears her plan.

He walks away to his room where Avni is waiting for him.

"Avni...our doubt was correct! Juhi has changed a lot and in a negative way ! She isn't the one i loved...she surely has some bad intentions for us. Now that I've given her the mobile phone which has the tracker of her each movement we will get to know her truth very soon with evidence."

Neil says in 1 go as he sits on the bed with hell lot of tensions going on in his mind.

"Neil please calm down...everything will be sorted. We have had a good start for our plan. We will definitely succeed. Trust me." Avni comforts him.

"Ofcourse my dear wifey...I trust you more than i trust myself !" He smiles and hugs her.

"Neil, our next step involves mishti. I'm feeling guilty to use such a small kid for our benefit." Avni moves apart and says in a worried tone.

"Avni please don't feel guilty. I know it's not correct to put in mishti in all this plan but its necessary for everyone's safety and to unveil the truth right ?" Neil tries to pacify her to go ahead with the plan.

"Hmm...after this we will never let Mishti's childhood to ruin anymore. Fine Neil, I'll go ahead with the plan. See you in the evening."

Avni bids adieu to Neil and goes away while Neil calls up DD to instruct him.

**Market**

"Here it is Mishti...your favourite candy floss !" Avni gives a stick to Mishti and she happily takes it.

"Mishti...please sit here. I'll go get you a water bottle. Ok ?" Avni taps her cheek and asks while making her sit on a stone bench.

"Ok Angel...come soon." Mishti avers and Avni leaves.

Mishti starts eating the candy floss and suddenly stops when she sees a man in front of her. She gets terrified on seeing him.

"My dear Mishti, how come you are let alone ? Where is your so called Angel ??" The man asks her grinning his face.

"Ann...Anngelll !!!" Mishti screams but in vain as she doesn't find Avni anywhere close.

"Ssshhh...i don't like you screaming at the top of your voice ! Did you already forget how i used to lock u up in the dark room in Goa?" Vidyuth bends to her height level and warns her.

Mishti gets all the more scared and starts crying...vidyuth suddenly calms down and says.

"Sshhh...No no no mishti... I'm your dad, don't get scared. And you should not cry on the road like this." He says sarcastically as he snatches off the candy floss and breaks it into half to throw away on the ground.

Mishti sees that and cries but silently this time...

"Tell your Angel, that i will take you away from her and ruin her life. I will come back to u very soon..!" He warns her again and leaves.

While all this was being watched by Avni who was hiding behind a tree...with tears in her eyes as she saw mishti call her out and cry in fear. All she could do was cry along with her, while DD recorded the video of everything that happened with Mishti at that point of time.

"Bhabhi, now you can go back to mishti." DD says Avni.

Avni rushes to mishti and hugs her.

"Mishti...I'm so sorry bacha..." Avni says teary eyed.

"Angel, siiirrr...siirrr came...he said he will take me away from you...i'm very scared. I don't want to leave u and superman." Mishti cries.

"No Mishti...never... I and superman will never let u go... we will always protect you sweetheart. Please don't cry..." Avni wipes her tears and hugs her again.

**Khanna Mansion**

"Neil...our second step is done." Avni says Neil.

"Perfect ! Good job my dear wifey." He winks at her.

"We now have video proof of vidyuth himself confessing that he's Mishti's father and also that he held Mishti captive in Goa."

Avni confirms the evidences she has gathered until now.

"Brilliant! Now Vidyuth can count down the numbers for his defeat." Neil avers as he receives a signal on the phone call tapping device. Neil goes near it as Avni shuts the door.

"Juhi darling...! Good job on helping me to suceed in exposing Neil infront of media... I'm impressed..!" Neil could guess the voice at very first word whose voice was that. Yes, it was vidyuth who was smirking on call with juhi.

"He must have gone crazy by now bcz of the questions that media threw at him. Right ?" Vidyuth enquired.

"Yeesss Vidyuth...the whole house is in tension. Avni is shattered that Mishti is going through the same what she went through in her childhood." Juhi replies with a strange happinnes in her voice.

"Very well... Listen juhi, meet me right away in the old warehouse near the market. I need to talk to you personally darling..." Vidyuth urges her.

"Right now ? I can't come." Juhi back answers him firmly.

Avni and Neil are stunned to hear their conversation. Juhi was talking to vidyuth comfortably.. where is that fear which she had when she used just listen his name and tremble ? That fear was no where seen in her voice and moreover she was back answering vidyuth ! It was a sure shot shocker for both of them as they continued to listen.

"Okay... i understand. Tomorrow morning same place. If you don't turn up...hmm i think you know the rest..!" Vidyuth cuts the call.

"Avni...we have to take advantage of this meeting. Tomorrow, right ! May be even destiny wants it... we will put an end to all this nonsense !" Neil says firmly to which Avni replies

"Yes Neil... I already have a plan..."

"Wow my dear wifey ! You should have been a detective in ur past life for sure...! So soon you already hatched a plan ?!" Neil says in awe of his smart and intelligent wifey.

"Haha Neil...kuch bhi.." Avni shies away turning towards the planning board when she feels her man's arms encircling her bare waist.

"Neil...not now..." Avni tries fo free herself but in vain as his grip tightens.

"Is there any rule that we have to stand apart and discuss our plan?" He smirks as he gently moves his chin on her bare shoulder...making Avni go weak in her knees. His touch was magical for her...all that needed to distract her from anything was his touch.

She knew where all his antics were leading to...these days both were hardly able to stay apart from each other. While Neil was anytime expressive about romancing his lady, Avni knew the right time to allow him... and now it surely wasn't the right time...

So, moments later...she turned around to face him and said in a smoky voice...

"Yes Mr.Khanna...let some romance be left for tomorrow...after we defeat all this evilness. We shall surely have our time..." and she winks at him for the first time ever.

Neil gets surprised by her gesture and more stunned as he tried to understand what her hint of "our time" meant.

All he could do was sheepishly smile at his dear wifey's antics.
