This song♥️ I so wanted to put in my other stories but I couldn't get a proper situation so far, and now I finally got. Dedicated to DREAMS Avniel 😍 *Goosebumps*

♥️❤️

Avni

"Shall we !!!" He asked almost in whisper keeping his face straight, the moment first song ended. It was played for the Bride Groom. I don't know when he reached the spot and stood beside me.

Where ever you go
Where ever you do
I'll be right here waiting for you....
Whatever ever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I'll be right here waiting for you... Juhi And Daljeet danced in this soulful song.
They were looking so much into love for eachother. The perfect couple. I must say.

Then for the next song everyone asked to join them and the song changed.

My head snapped at the person standing beside me. And now he is waiting for me to reply.

Am I in my dreams !!!

Neil khanna asking for dance to Avni Mehta!!! the most average girl in his University with whom he used to be ashamed to be a part of a single bit of any kind of conversation or association with her, if ever accidentally had arose us such kind of situation between us.

"Nope" I looked straight tightening my face.

I so wanted to leave that place, exactly just then. But it wasn't the best idea I know so I withdrew my thoughts and tried to move aside but halted by Mrs. Khanna this time.

I turned my face to her, my eyes creased trying to apprehend, my gaze narrowed on my arm that she held gentle.

Not giving me any chance to think about any escape or excuse She dragged me towards the front space, where all the couples had already come up with their partners. She released my hand and whispered into my ears "C'mon it's just a dance" her lips curved in a genuine smile then at someone behind.

O no...
He is behind me. I'm more than sure without whirling my head behind.
I just wanted to rip those eyes of him.
That fake innocent gaze.

I smiled tightly replying her.

Mrs. khanna left dragging her husband to the other side.
God knows where.

Please god do something.
I don't want this nakcharah around me a single second.
I was standing awkwardly on a spot almost in the middle of the hall.
But wasn't much longer.
I felt a hand came from behind and whirled me.
And the next moment I my weight was on a hard chest supporting my hands on.

I couldn't lift my eyes. I was already shivering. Undoubtedly it was him.
I can feel his gaze on me even through my shut eyes.

Some years back I wanted to be like this..may be in his arms.

Every breath I inhaled led me to grip my hold back over mine.

" Won't you look at me!!" his deep voice fanned over my face and being astonished instantly my gaze rose upward in it's own accord. He sent a genuine smile followed by his poignant gape.

I know there something in the wake of your smile

I get the notion from your look in your eyes
Yeah

You built a love
that falls apart

I felt thousands butterfly inside my stomach, heart slammed. I turned my face away, tried to take off my hands to leave but next moment I felt his grip over my wrist, he yanked me leaving me startled and second time my palms hit on his hard chest. I felt I'm confiscated by someone.

He held me with his one hand and another he rested on my waist. I swallowed hard.
Creasing my forehead being disgusted by my inner battles not to get effected, my eyes met his dark orbs and instantly my chest escalated sensing him loomed over my face so close. Hollyshit.

He moved his steps gently correlating the rhythm which made me do the same following his steps to prevent myself not to fumble or look clumsy surrounded by so many people. I glanced around saw Mamma's, and his family at the corner, all those contented gazes were on us. Unwillingly I pulled my eyes back on him.

Lil piece of heaven
Turns to dark

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's Nothing else can you do

I always felt his eyes expressive.
Even when he ignored me like I don't exist either.
Even when he hated me when I mistakenly hit him on his forehead.
Even when he insulted me in the canteen the day we last seen eachother.
Even when he saved me in the party.
Even when I felt he was standing still before I went inside my house, he had come to drop me home that night.

But this gaze.
I don't know what it was.

I don't know where you going
And I don't know why
Listen to your heart

Before
You tell him good-bye

I felt his grip loosened, he took a step back, not loosing his gaze over mine for a minuscule second.

My eyeslids blinked once being bemused.
Then I heard clappings and the music has ended. My daze broke at the same time.

I sighed roaming my gaurded glances around. No one is looking at any particular one but I can see their smiling appreciating faces. And that caused me as well tentatively pull up my hands upward in appreciation, following them in the same action.

*******
Neil

I couldn't get space to talk to her as Aryan asked me to do so, before they leave tomorrow.

Eventually our dance ended, she got busy with Aryan feeding him dinner.
I thought I would talk to her once we come back home, as it wasn't a good idea to converse such consequential talks in that chaos. So I stored it for later.

I just lit my cigarate holding between my lips I heard a sound of door opening behind.
My eyes narrowed falling at the person who was about to take steps to come outside towards the balcony fence. Her face straight, head moved to right. Avni halted gripping her fist when her eyes met mine.

"Avni" I voice loud enough, made her stop before she would shut the door storming inside.

I saw her sighed deeply before looking straight at my direction, scowled.

"Can we talk!!" I threw my cigarette into the trash and straighten my body facing her.

"About what!!" she raised a brow crossing her arms across her chest. Her voice was hard.

"About us"

"Ii mean.."

"Can't we be...."

"Be what!" tightening her jaws she cut me off. She slauntered her few steps forward and they stopped suddenly at a certain point.

"Bbbbe friends" I stammered, spoke nervously under her sternful gaze.

"WWhat...What did you just say!!" She mocked snorting sarcastically.

I licked my lips being skittish for a while watching the way she curved her lips mocking.

"You mean filthy Middle class Avni Mehta and the university toper, the most elegible bachelor, the Business tycoon Neil khanna are friends!!
Really!!!" quoting those words she chuckled humorlessly.
"You really think something like that can happen!!!
Don't you know how much status gap and class gap we have between us!!" She moved further with her sarcasm and my heart dropped such of her accusative tone.

"Listen to me Avni. For once" I said softly in my concerned tone.

"Two people can't be friends with so much gap among this things between them.
Low Class and low Status people shouldn't have even right to look at you. Don't you know that." She hissed through her gritted teeth and I flinched seeing her aggressive facade.

"If they ever dare to do so they will be stamped as filthy, tacky, non-acceptable for ever, they won't be able to stand up straight in your society in their whole life...whatever, how big they achieve doesn't matter." She stepped closer looking straight into my eyes breathing hard.
I didn't back off I glued at that spot. I agree I hurt her several times without any of her fault but did I say her these things ever!!

"Or you have totally forgotten that I should always be back off 10 miles farther away your path!!" I saw her eyes turned glassy.

And then the past flashes came all over in my mind.
The last day I had said her those words which I still regret.

I shouldn't have said her or anyone else in any worst kind of situation without knowing the whole scene from both sides.
Despite I had realised how ill-tempered I had been to her the moment Rea told me the entire thing about her.
I was so blind being in the huge wall of those so called sophistication around me that I hadn't even realised I end up hurting people judging them by their standard of living.

I pulled my hand upward to hold her face leaning closer to her but not giving me any such chance she stormed inside her room and shut the door with a thud leaving me vulnerable, alone behind. I felt so much helpless standing there staring blankly at her door.

I so wanted to hold her , wipe her tears all away, those ever caused by me. And say her sorry for every single bruise I have done to her heart.

The day I first saw her and ignored.
The day I told her to back off, and I saw a glint of her wet eyes.
The day I said those words to her and saw her last.

Avni

"Avni what happened bachha..
Are you alright..it's 9pm...you never slept this hour!!!" Mamma asked heading inside my unlighted room.
She switched on the light still holding her shoulder bag and haven't freshen up yet. Seems she came to my room straight the moment she came back home closing the shop.

Wrinkling the face I covered my tears strained eyes pulling the duvet over my head...

This is the day I came back home heart broken, demolished of being sapped by the person I was in love.

That day.
As Rea had said me to do so once college will reopen.
Yes I went to the playground to confess. Actually I didn't plan any exact verse to say letting my heart out before him or something like propose and all.

I just thought I would talk to him whatever it is I'll take some move forward to let him know my feelings because I was so helpless of those strong feelings I was going through everytime I used to see him. It can't be imagined how I reached that place anyway.
The more I walked closer the more my heart was on the verge to burst out. For a second I thought I would get panic attack but the closer I took steps the clear I heard.

I heard him said those words talking to Ali.
"She is not my type...Neil khanna can never fall in love...with that Middle class average looking girl.."
And my feet got glued there on the grass being a statue. My eyes welled up hearing each word he said about me. And every time I felt a mass of huge painful ball inside my throat trying to escape out my mouth.

That day I understood the real meaning of this quote.
It's not less than any brutal murder, you can kill a person by your words.

Neil khanna killed my self-confidence, pulled down my self-respect to the grave by his words that day. His words made me realise how tiny I am. By every means I'm just a piece of trash to my love.

They couldn't see me because they were inside a surrounded place at the entrance of the field the place where players use for the changing stuffs. They just stepped outside around the railing back facing me away but I heard him more than clear.
Not even wasting a second I left that place immediately gripping my hold back on myself, I ran away.

I wasn't in a mood to concentrate any class that day. But it was almost close to our final year semester so I had to..

Somehow I managed smiling around Rea and Soham but Rea kept asking if there was something bothering me and I just made excuses that I'm lil tensed for the upcoming exams.
The second she met me in the morning she asked me excitedly if I had told him or not. I kept numb for a while gathering my words to reply her but failed. Like someone has snatched the ground I was holding on since years I took birth.
I replied under my suppressing weep "I would think about those things after exams I need to concentrate on my studies right now" She opened her mouth to say something but stopped staring at me keenly for a while and then asked.
"Did anything happened?? Don't tell me he spatted on you.. I swear I'll kill that man." She got furious balling her fist tight.

"He didn't" I averted my gaze away. I can't lie my bestie anymore.
"Infact he did the best thing ever ...he opened my eyes" I mumbled under my breath that Rea hardly could have heard.

"Are you sure!!" She held my shoulder softly leaving me flinched a bit slight.

Before I could answer her we were interrupted by our next Professor.
