Avni's pov:

Uff! My head is paining badly. I am sitting on the hospital bed. What happened to me? Plethora of thoughts were running in my mind. Then nurse informed me that I met with an accident. My husband and my mother-in-law admitted me in this hospital. Later I realized that I lost my memory. What is my name? Who are my parents? Will my husband accept me? My brain was full of questions. Then I heard the creeking sound because of the open door. One handsome man with the old lady were standing near the door. He had dark brown eyes and ruffled smooth hairs. Perfect jawline, broad muscles and charming face. He must be my husband. I am so lucky, he is so good looking. Will he be angry on me? God please help me!!

Neil's pov:

Shweta mom explained me the whole situation about handling. Now l have to act good husband in front of that girl... Yeah Avni.... Beautiful name. Last night created havoc between us. She must have been kidnapped. Now l have to protect her from this cruel world. Doctor informed us to move inside the room. There I saw her again. She was sitting there lost in her own world. I know she must be full of pools of thoughts. She was wearing long navy blue colour cloth, slender neck, with most innocent yet beautiful eyes. Her black shinny long hair touching till her waist making her more beautiful. Long thick eyelashes with pink lips, cheeks turned red while seeing me. Was she blushing because of me? Was she staring at me? She should smile more which will suit on her cute face.

In Mehta mansion

Environment was tensed, everyone was worried for their princess 'Avni' who got kidnapped on her special day.

Ashish: ( shouting at his bodyguard) Did you found out my daughter?

Bodyguard: ( in fear) Sir, we are searching.

Ashish: I don't want hope, I want result. Bring her infront of me. Neela and Karan forgive me, this thing is happening only because of me. We have lots of enemies because of the business.

Karan: Please uncle, don't blame yourself. Yesterday was my and Avni's special day. It was our engagement. I failed to protect her. Please forgive me Ashish uncle and Neela aunty.

Neela: Don't worry beta, Avni will come back soon. You go and take rest. Last night you were very tired.

Karan: Neela aunty please be ready today, police officers are going to come to investigate about Avni. They have already started searching her.

Back in hospital

Neil: A...Avni are you fine?

Avni: Yeah

Avni wanted to speak more but she couldn't find appropriate words. Neil observed it.

Neil: Avni you can say whatever you want. Don't hesitate to share it.

Avni: You are my husband right?

Neil: Yes

Neil said with a wide smile

Neil's pov:

Indeed the stranger became husband.... The fake husband. He felt very happy by describing himself as her husband, her better half.

Avni: l am sorry, l don't remember any momeries of you & our family. You must be sad right?

Neil nodded his head in a no gesture

Neil: No dear, we will make new memories which we will cherish in our future. I felt contented by hearing the word 'our family' from your mouth.

Avni gave her tooty smile.

Neil: Don't stress yourself. Take your medicine on time.

Avni: Husband ji

Neil: Huhh!! Did you called me?

Avni: yeah, what is your name my dear hubby ?

Neil: Neil.... Neil Khanna

Avni: oh it means l am Avni Neil Khanna

Avneil smiled coyly.

Karan's pov;

Avni where are you? Please come back soon.

( Caressing his ring) Today we got engaged & after the dinner you got kidnapped. I am not eligible to be your husband, your soulmate. You are my best friend Avni. I couldn't protect you. Today l am ashamed of myself. I know ours was totally arrange marriage. 2 weeks ago we both got to know about the alliance & yesterday l lost you. I miss you my cupcake. Come back soon.

Tears dropped from Karan's eyes.

Karan's pov: Maybe it was our destiny to get separated.

Neil's pov: Maybe it was our destiny to meet.

Neil: Mom I don't know whatever our decision was correct or wrong? I only want Avni's happiness. Her parents maybe upset and might be her h...husband.

Shweta: Husband? How do you know that she is married? She was not wearing nupital chain or vermilion on her forehead.

Neil: But mom, there was ring on her left hand ring finger. It shows that she is committed and her clothes. You can easily guess that she maybe from a high profile family. Maybe her business rivals had kidnapped her.

Shweta: Oh my God, what to do with this boy. Stop your assumptions. Days have passed now we have to take Avni to our home. Doctor said, don't give her stress. Till then we have to continue our acting.

Neil: Yes mom, now Avni is our responsibility. My personal messenger/influencer is already searching Avni's parents and kidnappers. Maybe we get some hints.

Avni was dressed up in a beautiful olive green colour anarkali. She was looking damn gorgeous.

Neil: Avni let's....

Neil couldn't complete the sentence as he was busy staring at Avni. Avni was too lost in Neil's world. Their cute eye lock
