They both slept in the same position.

After a hour or more, she woke up and saw them in the garden. She looked at his face and his hands which are protectively covering her. The solace she was getting from him is undescribed. She felt safe and protect under him. She cupped his face and it was so cold. She shaked him.

"Neil... Neil.... Wake up..." she said while his sleep got disturbed and he burried his eyes into his cold palms and just opened his eyes. He looked at her.

"Let's go in..." she said as she can feel him shivering.

He nodded and they went in. She took him to her room and made her lye on her bed.

"You sleep here.. Its been so late.." she said covering him with duvet.

"No Avni... You... Sleep here.." He tried to got up but Avni didn't let him to do so.

"Chup... Sleep.." she ordered while he looked at her smiling.

She then sat on the couch and slept there.

In morning

Neil woke up with a bright smile on his face. He opened his eyes and saw Avni sleeping beside him. He smile widely in sleep. He went near her and hugged her burying his face in her back of neck.

"Good morning wifey..." he murmured and suddenly he got up with a jerk and looked beside and found her nowhere

"Huff!!!.. It was a dream..." he scratched his hairs "But a good one" he blushed and looked straight and saw her sleeping in uncomfortable position in the chair.

He got up and went near her and kneel down.

"Avni... Avni..." he wake her up

"Let me sleep please.." she murmured not opening her eyes.

"You sleep on bed.. Comeon..." he said while came her no response.

"Jaana.." he called as he knows she won't mind. Atleast on her sleepy mode.

He then picked her as he have no option left and made her lye down on the bed.

After sometime

She wake up and saw herself sleeping on the bed. She saw the entire room and found him nowhere.

"Is that a dream?" she said pinning her hair beside her ear.

She turned her head and saw a note on the table. She picked it up.

Meet you in collage ;)

She smiled and hurriedly got up to ready for collage.

In collage

Neil was looking tensed sitting on the cafe. While Ali came and tap his shoulder.

"Subha subha cafe main kya karrahi ho?" he asked sitting beside him.

"Yaar Ali... mood off hai" he said sighing.

"What happened?" he can clearly see though his face and asked him.

"I had a morning fight with mom... Yesterday I end up staying in Avni's home... And for morning she scold me for being with Avni and told that she will never accept Avni" he said sadly

"It was not intentional that I end up saying there.. But she needed me thats why I was there... OK! I accept that she can scold me for that ... But she told me that she never accept Avni.... And you know what " he said and paused for a second.

"She told me that she likes riya and she wants me to marry her .... Like seriously?" he complained and told him everything as Ali is like a brother to him.

"Chill Bro!... She is your mom.... Shwetha aunty will understand you..." he said while he glare at him

"I don't think so...."

"I thought to talk about this to riya..... I don't want her to develop any kind of feelings for me... Before Mom could speak anything to riya.. I wanna speak to her..." he said and was looking here and there and found her ascending the stairs.

"There she is.." he said to Ali and started moving from there.

Whereas Avni reached collage and his eyes were searching him. She found him nowhere in the ground.

"Hey riya!" he called while she stopped and turned out in happiness as she heard Neil's call.

"Haa Neil.." she said in her asusaul sugary tone

"Riya...See...I am coming to the point.. My mom want me to marry you... I don't know if she had talk this about you or not..." he said while her happiness were no boundaries, daydreaming that shwetha had convinced him.

"Yes!... She spoke to me about this..." she said with a blush

"I am so sorry riya....i Can't marry you... I am in love with Avni.. And I can't able to love anyone else..... I thought to speak about this to you cause I don't wanna you to develop any kind of feelings for me.... I only love Avni.. And you are super friend of mine.... Hope you understand me... " he said everything in a go while riya was in the urge of crying. She nodded faking a smile and inside she is broken and burning in anger. Without wasting any second she left from there.

While another pair of ears listened this and has tears in her eyes. Avni hear over their conversation. Tears passing down her cheeks hearing him saying that he only loves her.

She just sat on the stairs covering her face in her palms. She feels happiness and as well as something in her heart. She composed herself and started to her class room.

"So late ah... Very bad.." Neil said while she stopped hearing his voice and turned back.

"Yeah... I slept for long time." she said after clearing her throat.

"Wait!... Hmm.... Something is there... Isn't?" he read her face as he feels something seeing her face and asked her

"No.. Nothing..."

"I don't think so...."

"What?..." she glare at him to make him believe

"Achaa.. Don't glare at this cutesa baby..." he made a puppy face while she just adores him.

She then attended her lectures but she drown into Neil's thoughts. She remainces his words which he told yesterday. Her thoughts were full of Neil and she smiled blushingly.
