Ignorance of loved ones breaks the heart into millions of pieces.

It was the time of the morning, the birds were hovering in the sky and were enjoying the soft breeze of the morning.

The sun was shining over the Mehta house and it peeked into Avni’s room who was sleeping on the bed.

Dream:

Avni and Neil were standing outside the Mehta house. Neil was smiling by seeing Avni who was looking at Neil innocently.

Neil: Happy New Year.

Neil kissed Avni.

Avni woke up with a jerk and sat on the bed. Avni was panting. Avni looked around and she realized that it was her dream. Avni closed her eyes and caught her head. Avni’s head was aching.

Avni: Tch, kal raat theek se nend hi nahi ayi. Mera sar…

Avni looked up.

Avni: baar, baar wahi moment ankhon ke samne araha hai.

Avni thought and sighed.

Avni: Avni, bhul jaa kal raat ko aur apni studies per focus kar.

Avni thought.

Later, Avni and Neil were standing in the classroom of the college. Avni was looking down and Neil was looking at Avni lovingly.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at Neil and then she avoided eye contact. Neil smiled and held Avni’s chin. Neil lifted Avni’s chin whose gaze was lower. Neil smiled.

Neil: Look at me, Love.

Avni felt a shiver in her body and she looked at Neil slowly. Neil smiled and looked at Avni’s lips and then he looked at Avni. Neil cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: Avni, my love, your lips are so juicy that I can’t resist.

Avni’s cheeks turned red and Neil smiled. Neil looked at Avni and leaned to kiss her. Neil was about to claim Avni’s lips.

Neil was moving to kiss Avni and was sleeping on the bed in his room. Neil made a pout and was holding the pillow. Neil was kissing and he was sleeping at the side. Neil moved and he fell from the bed with the duvet. Neil woke up and looked around. Neil squeezed his eyes and felt a pain in his body. Neil opened his eyes and then he realized that he was laying on the floor. Neil sat on the floor and ran his hand through his hair while closing his eyes. Neil remembered his dream and he opened his eyes. Neil smiled and then he got upset. Neil sighed.

Neil: Don’t know when that day come when I will kiss you and you will respond to me. You will kiss me back.

Neil sighed. Neil saw the time on the wall clock and it showed 07:36. Neil was shocked.

Neil: oh shit. Neil, get ready fast. You will be late for the college.

Neil tried to remove the duvet which was snaked around him Neil groaned. Neil got up and picked up the duvet. Neil kept the duvet on the bed and he ran after wearing his slippers.

It was the time of the morning, the birds were hovering in the sky and were enjoying the soft breeze of the morning. The sun was shining over the college and students were busy with their work. Some were having fun and some were excited about the new semester.

Neil was sitting on his car and his friends were sitting on their bikes. Neil looked at the entrance and his friends noticed him. They looked at each other and then they looked at Neil.

Vidyut: Neil, yaar ek baat bata.

Neil said hmm and looked at Neil.

Vidyut: Tu sach main Avni se pyaar karta hai.

Neil frowned.

Neil: Han kyun?

Vidyut: nahi bus puch raha tha?

KK: Tu paka Avni se pyaar karta hai?

Neil frowned.

Neil: Is main itna heran hone wali kya baat hai. Avni is the prettiest girl of our college. She is good at studies also.
She is a beauty with a brain. I don’t think that I can get a better girl than her. She is perfect.

KK: That’s right. Yeh to bilkul theek kaha tu ne.

Vidyut: I agree.

Neil smiled.

Vidyut: so finally humare Hero ko love ho hi gaya.

Neil blushed and looked away.

KK: blushing and all. Han. Hmm. Hmm.

Neil made a face.

Neil: shut up.

Neil looked away and smiled. Vidyut and KK did Hi-Fi. Neil sighed and looked at the entrance.

Neil: But yeh Avni kahan reh gai. Abhi tak ayi kyun nahi.

Vidyut: Uff yeh intazar.

Vidyut and KK sung: Intaha ho gai intazar ki.

Neil made a face.

Vidyut and KK: Ayi naa kuch khabar Neil ke yaar ki.

They laughed and did Hi-Fi.

Vidyut: Ho sakta hai tere kal raat ke horrible love confession ke bad who dar gai ho aur college hi na arahi ho.

Neil thought and his friends laughed.

Neil in mind: Love confession ki waja se to nahi ho sakta shayad kiss… ki waja se…

Neil was shocked.

Vidyut: What happened?

Neil looked at Vidyut and shook his head.

KK looked at the gate and a scooty entered.

KK: Le woh agai Bhabhi ji.

Neil looked at the gate. Avni reached the college on her scooty. Neil saw Avni and smiled. Avni parked her scooty and removed her helmet.

Neil: Meri Avni darne walon main se nahi hai.

Neil smiled and looked at his friends. His friends were surprised and Neil realized that KK called Avni “Bhabhi. Neil felt strange and he felt something in his heart.

Avni looked at the building and she smiled. Avni was excited for the new semester but she was nervous to face Neil. Avni remembered Neil and thought. Neil was looking at Avni. Avni’s eyes fell on Neil and she was shocked. Neil smiled to see Avni who lowered her gaze and got down from the scooty. Avni clenched the straps of her bag and she went to the building. Neil was looking at her. Neil was surprised because Avni didn’t pass a smile to him. Neil thought.

Avni was sitting in the classroom and was free because she didn’t have anything to study. Avni was looking here and there. Ali came and Avni was surprised to see him. Avni got worried about how Neil would react. Ali came to Avni who got up from the seat.

Ali: Kal raat ko tum kahan chali gai thi? Tum ne kaha ke tum andar arahi ho but tum nahi hi ayi.

Avni was looking at Ali. Avni lowered her gaze.

Avni: Woh, mujhe ghar se call agai thi to mujhe jana para.

Ali: Oh…

Avni: Yes.

Ali: Everything was OK at home?

Avni: Yeah, yeah, my Papa called me. I told you that I don’t have permission to go to the parties so…

Ali: Oh.

Ali thought and then he looked at Avni.

Ali: Avni, don’t get me wrong but yeh Neil ka kya chakar hai?

Avni was shocked.

Ali: I mean, woh tumhare sath ase kyun behave kar raha tha.

Avni looked down.

Avni: No, nothing, ab…

Person: Why we are going to the classroom?

Avni heard the sound and she looked at the door. Neil and his friends were entering the class and Vidyut and KK were talking. Neil saw Avni with Ali and he got angry. Neil grinned his lips and was about to move but Vidyut held his arm.

Vidyut whispered: students are standing outside. Abhi koi scene create mat kar.

Neil looked at Avni who avoided eye contact. Neil came to the classroom and he passed by Ali and Avni while looking at them. Ali also gave a glare to Neil.
Neil came to his seat and sat.

Soon, the lecturer came and Avni and others greeted him while standing in their seats. During the lecture, Avni’s concentration was on the lecture and Neil’s concentration was on Avni. Avni was writing the important points. Soon, the lecture ended. Everyone started to move out. Neil looked at Avni and Neil came to Avni who avoided him and went from there. Neil was surprised. Ali and Neil gave deadly glares to each other.

Later, Neil came to the library in search of Avni.

Neil: Kahan hai, Avni.

Neil looked around for her but Avni was not there. Neil frowned.

Neil: Avni, agar yahan nahi hai to woh gai kahan?

Neil thought and got angry.

Neil: Zaror us Ali ke sath hogi.

Neil was in anger.

Neil: Kitni baar samjhaya hai lekin us ki smajh main baat hi nahi aati. Main nahi dekh sakta usay kisi aur ke sath.

Neil was angry.

The garden was full of the students. Neil came out of the corridor and looked around for Avni. Neil came down the stairs and looked around. Neil saw Avni sitting on her knees on the grass and she was talking to a cat. Neil was surprised and then he smiled to see Avni. Avni was smiling and Neil was adoring her.

Neil: She is just like a kid. Sweet and innocent.

Neil smiled. The cat ran from there and Avni was smiling. Avni turned her face and she saw Neil. Avni was surprised to see Neil. Avni took her bag and she got up. Avni started to go and Neil hurriedly came in Avni’s way. Avni stopped to see Neil and took a step back. Avni clenched the strap of her bag tightly.

Neil: Mujhe tum se kuch baat karni hai.

Avni was looking down. Avni looked at Neil and then she lowered her gaze.

Avni: Mujhe library jana hai.

Neil looked on and Avni looked at Neil and she instantly looked down and went from there. Neil was looking at her. Neil was confused.

Neil: Is she ignoring me?

Neil thought.

Later, everyone was present in the classroom and was busy in the lecture. Neil was looking at Avni who turned her face and saw Neil. Avni turned her face and gulped. Avni looked at the board. Neil thought.

Later, Avni was passing by the corridor and Neil came into her way suddenly. Avni flinched and took steps back. Avni saw Neil.

Neil: Why are you ignoring me?

Avni looked down.

Avni: Ig. Ignoring. N. No, why will I ignore you?

Neil: That's what I am asking about. Why are you ignoring me?

Avni: I am not ignoring you. There must be some misunderstanding.

Neil: Misunderstanding.

Neil looked at Avni’s hand who clenched the strap of her bag. Neil looked at Avni.

Neil: Where is your engagement ring?

Avni looked at Neil shockingly.

Neil: Engagement ring kyun utar di hai tum ne.

Avni was nervous.

Avni: woh ring bohat expensive hai aur phir tumhe wapis bhi to karni hai. Is liye utar di thi.

Neil: Wapis kyun karni hai?

Avni looked at Neil and then she lowered her gaze again.

Avni: Humari engagement fake thi is…

Neil shouted: It was not fake, Goddamnit.

Avni flinched and looked at Neil who was in anger. Neil held Avni’s arms who got scared. Avni looked at Neil shockingly.

Neil: It was not a fake engagement. It was real. We are engaged.

Avni was looking at Neil.

Neil: I want our engagement ring on your finger. Tomorrow.

Avni lowered her gaze.

Avni: I can’t wear it.

Neil was shocked and got angry.

Neil: Why? Why you can’t wear it, hmm?

Avni remained silent.

Neil: You want to hide about our engagement?

No reply.

Neil: Tum kis se humari engagement ke bare main chupana chahti ho? Us Ali se.

Avni looked at Neil shockingly.

Avni whispered: How many times more I tell you that nothing is between me and Ali?

Neil looked on for a few seconds and Avni was looking at him.

Neil: Then prove it.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Prove it, nothing is between you and Ali. Kal agar tum ring pehan kar ayi to main maan lunga ke tum sach keh rahi ho?

Avni was looking at Neil.

Neil: Kal.

Avni and Neil’s intense eyes lock. Neil left Avni and he was looking at her. Neil took steps back and then he turned. Neil was going.

Avni: tum bhi apni engagement ring pehan kar aoge?

Neil stopped and he was shocked. Avni looked on. Neil thought and turned. Avni was looking at him. Avni came to him.

Avni: Engagement to hum dono ki hoi hai na to is lihaz se to tumhe bhi ring pehani chahiye. Where is your engagement ring?

Neil was shocked. Neil thought. Avni looked at Neil’s hands.

Avni: Kahan hai tumhari ring? Fingers main to nahi hai.

Neil looked on.

Avni: Chalo ek deal karte hain. Tum kal ring pehan kar aao us ke bad main ring pehan kar aungi.

Neil was shocked by Avni’s reaction. Neil forgot that everything has a limit. Avni’s patience also broke. Avni and Neil’s eyes lock. Avni tranfered her gaze and then she passed by Neil. Neil turned and he was looking at Avni who was going. Neil thought.

It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky and it peeked into Neil’s room from the window. Neil was sitting on the bed holding his engagement ring in his hand and he was looking at his ring. Neil thought.

The next day, the sun was shining over the college building and the birds were hovering in the sky in search of food.

The students were busy with their activities. Avni was passing through the corridor and Neil came on her way suddenly as he always does. Avni flinched and moved back.
