Continuation from previous chap

It's been 10 mins since they are in garden but no one dare to break the silence. He was busy in in checking his phone & she was busy in looking in different directions. Unable to bare this silence Avni thought to break this....

Ummm you seemed so busy ?

Ahhh nothing as such it's just that I don't know how to start the conversation so remained silent

Oh! Well you already know about me & my profession so is anything else left to ask me

No! I mean.... see Avni I'll come straight to the point I'm not at all interested in this marriage stuff but for my parents I came here as I can't say no to them

Even am not interested Neil & am also doing this for my parents. See here neither my opinion matters nor yours coz it's already fixed & this meeting is just for a namesake so it's nothing we can do rather than just going with the flow

Hmmm may be ua right but atleast you can try talking to your parents about this coz my parents already made up their mind not to listen to me

Don't you think I've already spoke to them about this but they are way to stubborn to understand anything so I just gave up

Hmmm but we will not be happy in this relationship

I know but for our parents we've to do this & may be after 6months we will let our parents know that we are unable to go head in this marriage even after a try so we are just planning to have a divorce & will convince them for the same

Hmmm sounds good! So as of now we will just go with the flow as u suggested

Okay! Let's go inside....saying this she got up & walked towards the door followed by him.

Ashish we will call pandit for fixing the dates today it self wat say he heard Prakash say to which he replied yeah that's good & how about asking him to come here only by evening Neela said to which they all replied okay. After that they had lunch & were discussing about the marriage & stuff like that.

*********

Later in the evening priest arrived & was checking the dates so after one week engagement can be done & after a month marriage can be done they heard priest saying to which they said okay excitedly. Everyone's face was brimming in happiness apart from our Avneil but they tried to smile for their families. After discussing about engagement Khanna's left the house not before telling them to meet at shopping mall tomorrow for shopping.

Mom dad why we need to shop for myself as already I've outfits which I've designed & remember your daughter is a fashion designer they heard Avni saying to which her mom replied we do remember everything but Prakash ji & Shweta wanted to buy a outfit for you so we agreed for this & if you want you can design your outfits for your marriage & other rituals & also design outfits for Neil but before  that don't forget to discuss the same with him saying this her mom retired to her room while her father was busy talking on phone & with little bit of disappointment she left to her room.

Next day at shopping mall

Khanna's arrived & were waiting for the Mehta's so that they can start shopping for engagement. Neil was busy talking on phone while others were having some discussion. So sorry Prakash for keeping you guys waiting actually we got stuck in traffic so that's reason we couldn't reach on time he heard Ashish apologising to which he replied it's okay no problem it's been only 10 mins since they have come here to which Ashish smiled & they all went to store.

Avni was carefully looking at the lehenga's & finally she picked one which was simple meanwhile Shweta excitedly bought another lehenga which was bit loud & to be frank Avni didn't like it but for Shweta's sake she said okay. But this didn't go unnoticed by Nidhi, mummy ji let us show these two ( Avni's selected one & Shweta's selected one ) dresses to Neil after all he is going to be Avni's fiancé right Shweta heard Nidhi saying to which she agreed immediately.

Neil please look at these two lehenga's & pick one of your choice he heard Nidhi asking...

Neil : bhabhi how can I select? I don't anything about these

Nidhi : arey am just asking you to choose one depending on your choice while Avni was thinking that he will definitely select the one his mom picked up

Neil : fine! I like the royal blue lehenga coz it's very simple & at the same time it's beautiful... he said with a smile & Avni was shocked to listen this as he is having same choice as hers

Shweta : oho! Your choice is same like Avni's... saying this she went other side while Avni smiled looking at Neil & he reciprocated the same

Avni why don't you help for choosing Neil's outfit she heard Prakash saying to which she said okay & walked towards sherwani's row. She was searching in that row & finally found one she was taking from one side but it was moving another side again she tried to take & again it move to other side & she thought this would be the last time am trying to take & to her surprise it was not there.

She was checking for other outfits then she found that outfit in some guy's hand then she moved towards him for talking to him about the incident that happened few mins ago. Excuse me this outfit was first chosen by me for my fiancé but somehow you took it so can you just give that back to me & choose another outfit the person heard Avni asking to which he replied no. How mean!! here am talking to you very politely but you are very rude in replying saying this she was about to make him turn but was interrupted when she saw Nidhi standing beside her asking what happened...

Avni : See di I've selected this outfit but somehow he took so I was just asking whether he can give it back but he is replying very rude

Nidhi : how is that possible & you Mr. patting on person's shoulder how can you do that & it was first selected by..... she couldn't continue when she saw his face

Avni : what happened di & even she was shocked to see the person's face

Person : Nidhi bhabhi are you okay....

Nidhi : Haan Neil am okay & you were the person who took that outfit

Neil : yeah... saying this he turned towards Avni

Avni : am sorry Neil I thought that some other person was taking that outfit so I just

Neil : hey it's okay & I didn't knew that you were the one who was asking me

Avni : it's okay no problem

Nidhi : am very happy to witness this

Neil & Avni : why... both said in unison

Nidhi : it's because you both have similar choices & even when we're selecting Avni's outfit you both chose the same out fit & now also you're doing the same thing

Neil & Avni : oh okay... again both said in unison while smiling at each other

After that they all had their dinner & retired to their houses.

Neil's PoV

I was never interested in marriage but I agreed for my parents but I donno whether am doing right or wrong. When I had conversation with Avni I got to know that even she was doing this for her parents & she told we can take divorce after six months. This is okay but am not understanding one thing as everyone says marriage is not between two people it is between two families & also it is god's blessing so whether we are doing correct I mean thinking of getting separated, I don't know but as she suggested I'll go with flow.....

End of PoV

Avni's PoV

We ( Me & Neil ) have similar choices in selecting the outfits & even in food but why was I looking at him differently I mean am just doing this marriage for parents so I shouldn't feel anything for him right, urghh let it be! But everyone says marriage is not between two people it is between two families & also it's god choice of making pairs so are we thinking correct I mean getting separated after six months of marriage, let it be as of now I'll just go with the flow....

End of PoV
