The clocked gonna strike 12 and Ali made all the arrangement for the cake. He went to get the cake. Avni looked at her watch and its striked 12.

"Happy birthday Neil..." she wished while Neil looked at her smiling as she was the one who wished him first.

"Thank you Avni..." he said

And then everybody wished him. Soon Ali came with the cake singing the birthday song. He hugged Neil and wished him and then he cut the cake..

He looked at Avni and then gonna fed for Ali first while Ali stopped and pin point Avni through his eyes. He then fed for Avni first and all the while Riya was watching everything in disgust. Then all fed for him and he did the same.

After the cake cutting , everybody settled in their room. Avni found peace in her heart. She feels her breath was pure and she was totally at peace. They both were recalling their moments. Their dance, their closeness and everything. The way he fed for first and everything running through her mind making her forget all the thing. Making her feel like a normal girl.

The next morning

All were packing their things. And Avni took the watch which he gonna present to Neil as a birthday gift. Saisha called her for breakfast, so she kept at the table and went.

After breakfast, when she came to her room and was shocked to see the watch all broken. Tears build up in her eyes. Saisha came and looked at her.

"Areey!.. What happen?"she said looking at the watch and then her

" It's the present for Neil... Its was perfect when I took this out But it was broken now... " she said sadly and the tear slipped

" Kahi... Vo riya ki kaam nahi... " saisha said while Avni looked at her as she was saying truth as she saw her coming out her room.

"No... Why she will do that... She is not this kind off person.." she lied as she don't want saisha to fight with her.

"Par Avni.." Saisha was interrupted

"Leave it saisha..." she said and went to pack her bag while saisha sighed

All then checked out. Avni was still upset while Neil realized it.

"Avni..." he called while she faked a smile and looked at her

"Haa... Ha...tell me.." she said looking at him

Before Neil could ask Kk interrupted

"so Neil.. We are leaving first..." kk said while Neil smiled and nodded

"Neil... I will come with you.." Riya said standing behind him

"Kya yaar Riya..." kk said in annoyed tone

"Kk... I will come with you..." Avni said to kk while Neil looked at her shockingly

"Then super Avni..." kk said while she smiled

"Guys!.. What's the meeting going on here..." Ali came and saw them grouping together and asked them

"Nothing Ali... Me, saisha and Avni moving in a car and you three in one car..." kk said while Ali looked at Neil

"Areey.. Who changed the plan bro?" he asked as he know Neil wanna go with Avni. No one can understand Neil very well than Ali. They were like a brothers who understand each other very well.

"Nothing plan has changed... Only Avni will be moving in that car..." Riya said irritated

"But.. We have another plan... Kya yaar Avni... You only said you wanna visit a temple nearby and we made plan to go there na... You forgeted?" Ali said while Avni looked at him confused. Neil looked at Ali in confusion too. And they talk through their eyes and Neil nodded

" Haa Avni... You said na... "he turned towards her

" You said na... " Neil stretched nodding his head and asked her to nod through his eyes

" Haa...... Ha... I forget it... "she lied still confused looking at Neil and Ali

" see... So you guys carry on... We will just go and visit and will reach sooner... "Neil said to riya and then kk

Riya faked a smile and just went with them. She glared at Avni before moving.

" thanks bro... "Neil whispered to Ali

" huff!!!!.... Your Avni is so tubelight.. "Ali said while Neil glare at him

" Achaa teek hai... I won't say... But... she is little tubelight only... "he said and ran away while Neil laughed but stopped seeing Avni coming near him.

" Why you just... " before she could ask him why he lied, Neil escaped from there saying

" Ali... You just call me na...wait .. I am coming "he went before being caught by her.

Avni pouted and looked at the surrounding and saw something. She went there. Where as Ali and Neil came back after taking the luggage and saw Avni was not there.

" Avni... "he called while there is no response

" Avni kaha chaligay... "Ali asked while Neil nodded in negative

" let's keep our bags in car first... " Ali said while they went towards their car and sighed in relief seeing Avni there.

" Avni... You are here... "Neil asked while she smiled

" yeah... I thought to wait here.. "she said while Nel sighed and kept the bag in the passenger seat.

They started from there while Neil was driving looking at Avni from the front mirror.

" Neil... Will we reach safely or this will be my last ride? "Ali teased him looking at him admiring her

" 😒😒😒" he rolled his eyes while he laughed

" You will drive safe only..... As your life is here.. In the car... "he said while Neil blushed seeing him saying correctly

" Tum na meri dost nahi... Balki meri twin nikla..." he said tapping his shoulder

Avni looked at seeing them discussing silently and admire their bond.

Sooner they reached their home by mid noon. Ali got down and took their bags out while Avni stood hesitated.

"areey chalo... This is not your first time in my home.." Neil said winking while she opened and closed her mouth to say something.

She took a deep breath and spoke.

"Ne... Neil... Can you come with me to a place?" she asked while Neil looked at her smiling and nodded

They just went without informing anyone. Avni just told the way and finally they reached the orphanage. Neil smiled seeing the place. They got down.

"I too wanna visit here Avni... And thank you... You made me come here..." he said while she smiled and he was about to go but stopped when Avni called him

"Neil..."

"Haa Avni..."

"Vo... The present i have bought for you had broken... And I don't know what to do... Issiliye...." she opened the bonnet of the car and took out the rose sapling

"I have brought this today morning..... I know... Ki... Yeh present.... Nahi hai.... Par..... I thought..... If you plant this... It will grow na... And so our friendship too will be growing with this.... Haina.... So... I bought this..... I..... Know.... Ki... It is a very... Bad...idea... Par.." she was saying with lots of difficulties while he sense it uber cute seeing her looking down at the ground, holding the rose saying cutely. He feels as like she is proposing him.

"You don't know anything..." Neil said sternly while she looked at him innocently and frown seeing his stern face

"if you don't like this.. Then.. I am sor..."before she could say he interrupted

" This is the perfect gift Avni... Seriously... "he said smiling widely while she was excited

" really?. You like it? ... "

" Ofc yes... Is this even a question?... You gave me this then it will be more special...... And your idea was super ......" he said and pulled her for a hug, making her shock

" Our love will grow along with this Avni.... " he thought and broke the hug while her cheeks were red due to the blush.

" But... " he said looking at her from corner of his eyes

" But? " she repeated with questioning face

"We will plant along.. Not only me" he said while she was about to say something but Neil stopped her

"Birthday boy ka wish hai.. Comeon!!" he ran holding her hand taking her along

They firstly met all the childrens. And then went to the garden. They together dig the ground and planted the sapling. Avni was holding the sapling and Neil holding her hand and together they planted it.

" The new journey begins..." he thought while her hairs kissing his face. She smiled and turned her face making her nose crash his. They share an eyelock.

Neil touched the tip of her nose with his hand which was dirt with the sand and ran away . While Avni jaw dropped down and ran behind him.

On the other hand, everyone were waiting for Neil.

"Areey yeh tillu bhi na... Where he went without informing anyone.." shwetha said in disbelief while riya pulled her aside.

"Aunty..." she said with her sweetful tone

"Haa riya beta..." she said as she likes riya alot

"Aunty... Now a days.. Neil was not talking to me.... And it's all because of that Avni.... He always be with her ... Always aunty..." she faked her cries while Shwetha was shocked

"Avni?... Ohh haa... Bebe told me..." she said

"Haa... She is our junior... But you know what Aunty... Vo jaise dikthi haina... Vaise ho nahi... Vo itni maasoom nahi hai aunty.... Aur uske upar... Vo ek najayaz hai..." Riya said while shwetha was in complete shockness. Riya nodded and said untruthful words about Avni making shwetha believe in her completely.

" she is my cousin... But she is bad luck to everyone... She had killed her mom, her dad and even her brother.... So dadi didn't accepted her..." she said and smirked seeing shwetha expression turned into worried one. She was completely fallen into her trap.

" I am so afraid of Neil aunty...please keep Avni away from our family... " she said and wiped the tears while shwetha nodded and went from there while roya stood smirking.

"Is Avni ko kuch karna hi hoga..." she said clenching her fist
