So true👆

Neil

"So Avni Mehta is a big fan of Tom Cruise.
This is not done Avni.
I'm not happy getting this new info about you. Not at all." I made a irked face cursing internally discovering this new fact about her.

The moment I heard the word 'marry' from Arya, it took me few seconds to register in my head what exactly I felt when he said that 'm' word to me.
It startled me to the core. Imagining me and Avni living under the same roof, my body blooms with goosebumps all over visibly. I stopped breathing for few seconds, my heart leaped to my throat, got chocking me almost.

That was the result I had stammered replying him.
Here I have almost reached to my destination inwardly and there almost two days have passed I couldn't managed to form a complete sentence to say her yet.

That's frustrating..

Whatever mislead we have been between us, I'll dissolve all of her doubts soon.
"How about if I take that step today before it gets too late..
I can't let her go this time.
C'mon Neil you can do it.."exhaling heavily I racked my palm through my hair.

I was just on my way to open my trolley to take out my clothes for the today's function, someone yanked my wrist from behind. Almost saving myself from thumping onto the bed hardly being startled by this sudden action, my back slammed on the wall behind and my gaze immediately collided with a dark glare in front of me, leaving me to flinched deeply.

Avni is standing few steps away facing me inside my room.

"Don't you think you are dropping your reputation,your class, revealing the fact we know eachother!!!" Her voice was so harsh that it hit me to the core. I have least expected this from her that she would ever come to me. I was literally preparing myself how would I start conversations with her from last few hours and now I'm numb. Numb gathering bunch of words inside me that I wanted to say her.To share with her.

"Aavni listen" my voice shook in guilt.

"You listen" Avni uttered through her gritted teeth pointing her index finger at me to stop opening my mouth to speak further.

"Stay away from my son" she said in a cold tone tightening her jaws making me flinch.

How much hates she has inside her for me it's cristal clear now.

"Do you hate me" without my consent it came out from my mouth gazing at her retreating back.

She halted immediately back facing me at the door attempt to step outside my room.

"Considering hate as an emotion, I prefer to be least bothered about it" she almost vanished out of my sight.

I flipped my eyeslids to control my emotions that are struggling to come out in form of tears.

Did I hurt her to that extent!!! even the word hate sounds to her as showing emotion towards me!!!!!!

It's not that love hurts.
What hurts is being hurt by someone you love.

Ve main ta hoon pagdandi
Labdi ye jo rah jannat ki
Tu mude jaaha main saath mud jaaun
Tere Kaarwan mein shaamil hona chahun
Kamiya taraash ke main
Kabil hona chahun
Ve ki Karaan
Ve ki Karaan....

Avni

If you could read my mind,
You'd be in tears.

Yes I was in tears I can't treat him the same he had treated me somewhere in my past. This is not me. I'm not a person who believes in confiscating the inner peace into taking revenge or holding grudges rather than moving on letting him or her realise their mistakes ownself.

He would be the last person I have intended to do such graves according to me. Or else whether if I will try to I can't harm that person mentally or physically for who I had ever fallen.

How many times I deny, he will be my first love always. The man of my Dreams, the person who insulted me in front of my class fellows, around some seniors and many other Canteen staffs, I didn't remember. The man who let me realise how inferior I am to them.
Doesn't matter how much I bit him academically, there will be always a huge wall between us. Whenever questions will be arose on our class, standard or ability we would never ever able to reach them not even a teeny tiny bit closer.
We will always be disagreeable, clumsy, rustic and socially unmatched to their society.

While falling for someone we always ignore as important as such things like status, standard, class!!!

Why our heart end up always showing our most precious emotion like love, for the wrong person!!!

*********

I saw Arya gave a pecked on his cheeks. That was absolutely unbelievable for me to see Arya doing such things,except he does with some few people from his favourite list. And another unexpection I have just witnessed, I could have ever imagined in this life that arrogant Neil Khanna is smiling. Enough broadly according to me for him.

What the hell is going on between them!!!!
I don't know why I'm not getting any good vibes in this. Is he using Arya to insult me again! What if he hurt Arya!!!
If he would plan any such fuss as he did once, to insult me, then I swear I won't let him go without being treated the same this time.

I walked out of my room and without knocking on the door I barged inside straight.

I have never imagined I could react as same as to anyone ever the way I have done in this next moment.

I didn't took a single second to think before I yanked his wrist to turn his face towards me.
He was startled by this sudden gesture of mine. It was clearly visible through his each facial movements that he was hell surprised to see me inside his room. I have noticed being few steps standing away from him.

For some cursing seconds I got lost.
I got lost again in his captivating gaze over me.
The aura that had ever attracted me years back as a magnet to go on my knees.

May be people like him becomes more handsome more masculine with the time as much as they grow mature. He has become more sophisticated more attractive getting more powerful and success.

His beard has grown more dense. His gaze has become more tantalizing, more tranquil as deep as ocean. There wasn't any sign of arrogance, pride, ego or snobbery that had been so evident through his gestures he had ever showed to me when he wasn't so far nor so close.

Has he changed in these years!!

Is that possible either!!

Even I have changed.
I'm no more that simple, fragile, meek middle class Avni Mehta, I used to be..

Only the difference is I'm still middle class and I'm still very proud of it.

Am I being too rude to him!!!
Was I too harsh!!

"Avni It's 10 am we will be there at Neil's place within half an hour. Please try to be on time or else you know na that akru. he will rip both of our heads " Rea has been heard this said gritting her teeth.

"Sorry Rea I won't be able to come... Mom has gone to Naani's place, her health is not going well since last week. So I have to take care of our shop transactions untill Mom doesn't come back.. sorry" Avni stated sadly.

"What!!! What do you mean!!!! R you kidding or what Avni. I can't withstand that nakchada Neil all alone throughout the month you know that. you can't betray me bringing to this edge now..." She is in a verge of wail.

"I'm very sorry Rea..it's an emergency..I wouldn't have done this if it wouldn't be my responsibility...please try understand" Avni tried to pacify her statement to her bestie.

"Parr... I mean......"Avni heard Rea sighed helplessly on the other side holding her pH.

"Hummm..." She exhaled..
"Then you will owe me for this babe" a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"Okay done. What do you want me to do" Avni chuckled in relief knowing her only bestie is not mad at her anymore for ditching her at the last moment.

"You don't need to worry I'll pass you the notes once I will gathered from him and make you understand the points as well.." Rea paused.

"The only thing you have to do is the day our college will reopen, you will go and propose Neil before that creepy Srija could jump on him" she said in a warning tone.

Avni gulped down her dry throat changing the pH from her right hand to the left.

"She won't" Avni mumbled under her heavy breath.

"Then let me tell you Babe she was discussing this sitting in the canteen with her bestie Urna, when you have already left yesterday early. Ask Soham if you have any doubt on this because he had also heard it" Rea informed in a convincing tone.

Avni bit her lower lip sadly cutting off the line. Her hand came slowly downwards pulling her pH away.

After summer vacation college reopen day

"Thank god Avni that note was with you, see I had totally forgotten that I have given you to copy down the points.. such a bhulakkar I am.. okay then if you have finished copying down all then bring it today.." Rea said stopping her giggle.

Holding the pH on her ear talking to Rea Avni was having her breakfast hurriedly to leave for the college after the one long month summer vacation. Before she could finish the last bite of her bread she paused by the next words of Rea.

"Hey Avni!! listen to me very carefully... today Neil and Ali will be in the field practicing... You will go and confess everything to him today..we can't let that chipku Srija win your love...did you get that!!!" Some beads of sweat started forming over her forehead and chin leaving Avni in a dilemma exactly what she should do.
