Lateeka sighs while looking at the wedding decorations that are laid out in the garden. "Acche ke liye ya bhure liye, tumhare sath ya isha ke sath. Shadi to kl hogi he. I just hope ki bhavik apne Khushi ka rasta dhund lega (For better or for worse, a wedding is bound to happen tomorrow. I just hope bhavik will still find a way to his happiness )"

Bhavik interrupted "dhund lunga, and I'll make sure of that(I will, and I'll make sure of that )"

Avni got surprised and turn to her right and see bhavik standing there while wearing a serious expression.

Avni asked shockingly "app yha kbse khade ho? (How long have you been standing here?)"

Bhavik replied"it doesn't matter. Me yha ye Btane aaya hu ki ham Sicily ja rhe hai (It doesn't matter. I came here to tell you that we're going to Sicily )"

Avni asked surprisingly"kya? Pr kyu? Aapki shadi hai na kl? (What? But why? Isn't your wedding Tommorow?)"

Bhavik informed"agr me vedraj ko apni side kr lu. To mere dad ko Bhanushalis ke sath is alliance ki zarurat nhi pdegi (If I can get vedraj by my side. My father won't need this alliance with Bhanushalis )" he takes her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. "Chlo, avni. Ham apne future ke liye koi na koi rasta dhund he lenge (Come with me, avni. We'll make a way for our future together )"

Lateeka replied with an awkward smile"ye plan dangerous lgta hai, pr agr ye tum dono ki khushi ke liye hai. To Mera support tumhare sath hai (That sounds like a dangerous plan, but if it's for you happiness, then you have my support )"

Bhavik replied with a pleasant smile"Thank you, mom. This is my last chance at happiness "

The next few hours are like a cyclone; they head to Sicily in bhavik's private jet

After a while, they arrive at a huge mansion - everything about the house screams of wealth and luxury.

Avni thought entering inside "what does vedraj do? He seems to be extreme rich"

Just than vedraj's assistant arrived there"Good day. May I know the reason of your visit?"

Bhavik replied"we came here to meet mr. Agarwal"

The Assistant checked the meeting schedules and replied "mr. Bhavik Vaidya?"

Bhavik replied "yes, that's me"

The assistant nodded her head in yes and replied"please come this way" and leads them to the room where vedraj is waiting.

Vedraj first looks at Bhavik with a curious gaze before his gaze shifts to avni. His eyes widen in surprise while looking at avni as if he had just seen a ghost.

Vedraj exclaimed surprisingly "pazzo!(Crazy!)" and came close to avni.

Avni asked in a low voice "Uh, is something wrong, mr. Vedraj?"

He replied with the same surprise "um, no no! It's just that....You remind me of somoene"

Bhavik interrupted awkwardly"Mr. Agarwal, you look really pale, do you want to sit down?"

Avni asked confusingly"I remind you of somoene? Who?"

Vedraj replied in a low voice getting upset "koi jo chla gya (Somoene that got away )"

Avni thought confusingly"first Mr. Ahuja, now him! This is getting odd"

Avni asked in a low voice" kon chla gya? (And who was that?)"

But before Mr. Agarwal could reply, bhavik interrupted awkwardly "We're here to ask you for help"

Vedraj replied "Of course, I know exactly why you're here. You want to strike a deal, right?"

Bhavik replied with a gentle smile"A team, to be specific. You're powerful figure in mafia world and gaining your support would be much advantages"

Vedraj replied in a serious tone"our families have been at fight since forever, why do you think I should agree to this?"

Bhavik replied tensely"This Is for the future of the mafia world, sir!"

Then he added further in an angry tone "someone like vaibhav doesn't deserve to be the head, he'll ruin everything mafia world has built "

Vedraj falls quiet. He thinks carefully for a while before turning his gaze back to avni. She notice a hint of loneliness looming in vedraj eyes while he looks at her.

He replied after a while with a serious face "Fine. I'll help you take vaibhav down. I'm tired of carrying the burden of this rivalry ."

Avni exclaimed happily"really?"

Bhavik informed"For that,we'll have to return to India to meet the rest of the council"

Mr. Agarwal waits for a moment before beginning to speak again. "India chodhe hue kafi samay ho gya hai, vha kayi yadde hai jo me bhulana chahta hu (It's been a long time since I left india, it holds memories I wish to forget )"

Avni replied with an awkward smile"Mr. Agarwal,sorry about the unpleasant memories. We're thankful for your help, you have a big heart "

Vedraj looks at avni affectionately and passes a friendly smile. "Tum bohot cute ho. Tumhara name kya hai, beta?(You're beautiful young girl, what's your name child? )"

Avni replied with a pleasant smile "My name is avni Anand."

Vedraj replied shockingly"what??" He gasps in shock upon hearing avni's name.But quickly normalised himself and turns around. "I will think about this deal further, I'll come meet you tomorrow, Mr. Vaidya "

And both of them came outside.

Avni replied confusingly "ye kya tha? Unhone hame bs dismiss kr diya? (What was that?He just dismissed us)"

Bhavik replied"shyd unhe koi zaruri kaam hoga. (Maybe he has something urgent to do )"

He suggested further"vese, kyu na ham is chance ka fayda utha kr Sicily ghum le (Meanwhile, why don't we use this chance to see Sicily?)"

Avni replied excitedly"really? Aapko lgta hai hamare pas iske liye time hai? Is it okay to go? Kha jayenge ham? (Really? Do you think we have time for that? Is it okay to go? Where are we going?)"

Bhavik replied In a flirty tone"Darling, there's always time for a good date"

Avni replied happily"Then let's see Sicily"

She added further getting emotional "honestly, sbse dur hoke yha aapke sath hona, it feels like a dream, mujhe vapis nhi jana (Honestly, being far away from everyone and being here with you, it feels like a dream, I don't wanna go back)"

Bhavik replied"Then let me show you the Sicily I know "

And both of them went from there

In the evening,

At the mondello beach of Sicily,

The sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a pink glow across the ocean. The waves crash softly against the shore as bhavik and avni walk hand-in- hand along the water's edge, their footprints trailing behind them in wet sand.

Avni stops for a moment, tilting her head to the sky as the colours of sunset reflect in her eyes. Bhavik gently tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers brushing against her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.

They share a quiet smile, the kind that say everything without words. For a moment, the world around them fades, leaving only the sound of the waves and the beating of their heart in sync. Bhavik pulls her close, wrapping his arms around her waist, and they stand together, watching as the sun sinks lower, the sky painting itself in shades of pink, purple and gold.

Avni replied gazing at it "wow! Italy ke beaches me kch to khas hai.ye kitne shant hai, inhe dekh ke alg he Sukoon sa lg rha hai (There's just something about the beaches here in Italy, they're so serene. )"

Bhavik replied"hn, ye mujhe mere bachpan ki yadd dilata hai (I know, it reminds me of my childhood )"

Avni asked confusingly"aapka bachpan? Aap yha rehte the?(Your childhood? You used to live here?)"

Bhavik replied"hn,me panch sal tk Italy me he rha hu(Yes, I used to live in Italy until I was five )"

He informed further"jb me chota tha,meri nonna hame fair me le jati thi, jo city ke center me hai (When I was younger, my nonna used to take us to this fair, it was in the city centre )"

[Nonna is used for grandmother in Italian]

Avni replied excitedly "really? A fair? Mujhe bhi vha jana hai (really? A fair? I wanna go there too)"

Bhavik replied thinking a bit "Maybe, it's still there, let's check it out"

_______

At the fair,

The vibrant lights of the fair flicker in the cool evening air, casting a magical glow over the bustling crowd.

Avni replied excitedly "This is so fun! Aapke pas to bohot sari pyari pyari memories hogi na yha ki? (This is so fun! Do you have a lot of fond memories here?)"

Bhavik replied"hn hai to, pr jo fun moments tumhare sath spent kiye hai, vo sbse best hai (I can name a few, but nothing beats the fun moments I spent with you )" and he chuckles and holds her hand, kissing it, which makes her heart go wild.

The sounds of laughter, music and the humming sound of carnival rides fill the air as bhavik and avni walk through the colourful maze of stalls and games.

Bhavik suggested "ab ham yha tk aa he gy hai to kch fun krna to bnta hai na (Now that we're here, we should do something fun)"

Avni taunted "aapko aisi place pr dekhna bohot weird hai. Afterall Aap ek mafia gang ke boss ho (It's so weird to see you in a place like this. You're a mob boss )" and started chuckling teasingly.

Bhavik replied"pr tumhare sath, me bs ek normal insan hu jo tumhare pyar me pagal hai (With you, I'm just a man in love )"

He asked further "kya kehti ho, avni, kch fun or wild Krna chahogi? (What do you say, avni, do you wanna do something fun and wild?)"

Avni replied"I'm always ready" and her eyes lit up in excitement as she pulled him toward the Ferris wheel.

They climb into it, the seats swaying gently as it rises, offering a breathtaking view of the fairgrounds below.

As they reach the top, the world spreads out beneath them- a sea of twinkling lights and festive colours. The wind softly touches avni's hair, and she leans her head on bhavik's shoulder, her finger interwined with his. The view takes their breath away, but it's the closeness they share in this quiet moment that makes it truly special.

Bhavik looks at her, his gaze soft but intense, and whispers "ye moment, bilkul perfect hai(This moment, right here, is perfect.)"

She smiles, her heart fluttering "aisa lg rha hai na ki is pure world me sirf ham dono he hai (It feels like we're the only two people in the world.")"

As the ride gently comes back down, they don't speak much more, but their eyes tell everything - the unspoken promise between them, this joy in simply being together.

Later, they ate cotton candy, laughing as it sticks to their fingers, and then pause to take photos at the old-fashioned photo booth. The night continues, filled with the magic of the fair, but in that moment, bhavik and avni are lost in their own world of love and laughter, with nothing but each other and the glow of the fair lights surrounding them.
