Neil went back to Mumbai at night without informing anyone….In the next Morning everyone was asking about Neil but Avni and Savas were silent…then they are also left for Mumbai

****

Avni entered her house and the whole way she was only thinking about Neil.....Neela and Ashish saw her

Neela : Avni !  baccha welcome home

Ashish noticed her face

Ashish : what happened princess , r u tired from ur trip ?

Avni nodded slightly

Avni : hm , it was very beautiful

Neela : accha now tell us what happened between u and Neil....Neil really likes u , i can tell !....did u guys create some beautiful memories there ?...( excitedly )

Avni remember Neil's hurtfull eyes....Ashish looked at neela

Ashish : this is ur daughter u r talking about....girls need to protect themselves

Neela : what were u thinking ?....i mean to say candle-lit dinners , holding hand.....Neil is very nice guy

Avni : Maa plz stop talking about Neil....it's over now

Neela : what do u mean by over ?....isn't he trying to win u over ?

Avni doesn’t said anything just walk towards her room

Neela : baccha...

Ashish cut her off

Ashish : that's enough , stop pestering her....she is clearly not happy

Neela : but didn't Neil come to our house few days ago ? How is it over already ?....i have to know the reason....whaf if Neil dumped or abandoned our daughter

Ashish : what can u do ?...( raised his brows )

Neela : i....i...( thinking )....yeah then i hope that he grows shorter every day....and his hair....if he's bald he won't get a new girlfriend

Ashish chuckle

Later , in Avni's room

Avni was sitting on her bed thinking about Neil ,

Avni : Neil was so nice to me but i hurt him....maybe he hates me now....( then she signed )....i didn't like him anyway....a lot of bad things happened but maybe this is the best ending

then avni lay on the bed and closed her eyes

On the other hand ,

Neil has become completely silent in his mansion but if someone come to him he shouts on them badly

Right now he is in his exercise room , he is hitting a punching bag badly

DD looking at him worriedly then he took out his phone and dial a number

DD : hello , i need to tell u something about Neil.......( scared )

****

Next day , at the university

Abir and mahir gets to know that Savas kissed Avni

Abir : impossible !....mujhe believe nehi ho raha

Mahir : yeah why would Savas be with Avni ?

Abir : Neil must have misunderstood and gotten angry

Mahir : we r duddies ! why don't we ask Savas about it ?

Abir : yeah isse sab kuch clear hojayega

Just then they saw Savas and called him....Savas looks at them....Abir and mahir came to him

Abir : Savas ! let's talk

Savas looks away , he knows what they r gonna ask him

Mahir : u know Neil likes Avni a lot , right ?

Savas looked at him

Savas : i know....what is there to talk about ?

Abir : Savas ! what is going on ? r u really dating Avni ?....no way , right ?

Mahir : u wouldn’t do something to hurt ur friend 

Abir : Savas , have u lost ur mind after losing Kriti ?....u could have gotten any another girl

Mahir : exactly....u know Avni is Neil'....

Mahir interrupted by Neil who was there just behind them for sometimes and staring at Savas blankly

Neil : Mahir !

They turned and saw Neil....Neil walked towards Savas and stands in front of him

Neil : Savas , listen carefully....from today onward , u r no longer my friend

Abir : Neil !....r u really going to kill our friendship over a girl ?

Neil : i am not the one who killed our friendship....it was Savas Malhotra ( looking at Savas who was just standing there silently and listening them )

Neil pushed Savas a side and went to towards his classroom

Later , After class Neil was going to the outside but suddenly he stopped when he saw Avni....Avni was talking with Mahira then her eyes fell on Neil....Neil looks away and clutched his jaw then went from there

Avni looks down

Avni : mahira tum ghar chali jao, main baad mei aungi

Mahira : okk , bye

Then Avni went to the roof and saw Savas is sitting there

Avni : hey.....( came near and sat beside him )

Savas smiles seeing her

Savas : hii

Avni looked at him

Avni : um....Neil ne tumse baat ki ?

Savas : he told me i am no longer his friend from now

Avni : i am sorry....( looking down )

Savas looks at her

Savas : why

Avni : if i didn't go looking for u the beach , none of this would have happened.....u and Neil would still be friend

Savas : Avni , i kissed u because i wanted  to....so it’s my fault

Avni signed....Savas looks at her

Savas : Avni !

Avni : hm...( looking at him )

Savas : let's go on a date on sunday

Avni looks at him surprisedly

Avni : a date !

Savas smiles

*****

Avni is getting ready for her date with Savas....she wears a beautiful sleeveless frok and keep her hair open , she is looking like a cute doll

Avni was wearing her earrings just then Neela came ,

Ashish called Neela from living room

Neela : aww this boy is soo adorable

Savas smiles

Ashish : yes

Then Avni came and smiles at Savas

Avni : maa! papa! its getting late....we r going

Neela : ok ok , enjoy

Then Avni and Savas went out

Neela : aww our daughter is just like me....she is attracting all the right men....one is like a domineering CEO , Neil Khanna....and the other a pretty and gentle boy , Savas

Ashish : hmm so u attracted all the right men that's why u got me

Neela gave a tight smile

Neela : u were the least among all my options

Ashish : 😒😒

Here , Avni and Savas were walking on the road

Avni looked at him....she don't know where will she start from , what to say.....then ,

Avni : um u r dressed a little different today

Savas looked down

Savas : is it weird ?

Avni : no no , u look good

Savar : i overslept today , so i just put these on and ran out

Avni nodded

Avni in mind : am i not looking good ?....why he is not saying anything.....uff

Avni : so where do u want to go ?

Savas : i don't know.....tum bolo na

Avni : how about the restaurant i always go to ?....let's go eat

Savas : okk....fine with me

Again they became silent

Avni in mind : oh no....this is so awkward....Savas isn't saying anything....should i think of a topic to discuss ?

Avni : um Savas...

Savas looks at her

Savas : yes Avni

Avni : vah...u....i mean.....( confused what will she say now )

Savas : kya huya Avni

Savas thinks something

Savas : aab Avni , this is the first time i am on a real date with a girl....if i make u bored ,  i apologised....now that i think about it , apart from Neil and the guys i don't have many friends....i think i am a social outcast

Avni : i don't think so....i think u have the best personality among the F4 guys....if u wanted to u'd make many friends , Savas

Savas smiles at her

Savas : i like hearing u say my name

Avni looks at him and smile

Then , when they were eating in restaurant Avni say ,

Avni : this Thai restaurant is good....especially this dish....( pointing towards a dish on the table )....the thai-style chicken salad....do u want to try it ?

Savas : actually i can't really eat spicy food

Avni : oh , i am sorry....i should have been more considerable....i should've asked u what u like to eat

Savas : it's okk....as long as u like it

Avni : um why don't we order something less spicy ?

Savas : it's okk , i am not that hungry

Avni : umm u said this is ur first time....didn't u go out with Kriti ?

Savas looks at Avni

Savas : Avni , don't talk about Kriti

Avni : i...am...sorry , i shouldn’t have brought her up

Savas : it’s okk

Avni in mind  : Avni , u r an idiot....Savas obviously trying hard to forget about Kriti

Like this their date went

*****

At Night , in the Mishty's caffe

Mishty : that's how the date ended ?

Avni : yeah....( mumbled )

Mishty : god what kind of a date was that ?....it doesn't sound romantic at all

Avni took a breath

Avni : i know....it was so awkward....i get so nervous when i am around Savas , i become so self-conscious

Mishty thinks

Mishty : how about Neil ?

Avni looked at her

Avni : Neil ?

Mishty : yeah....u two dated before , right ?....do u get self-conscious around Neil ?

Avni : we aren't dating....but now that u mention it , i think i am more myself  when i am with him....but that's because i don't have feeling for him that's why we are always arguing

Mishty : which means , u feel more self-conscious when u r with Savas

Avni : yeah , it's because i want to show him the best side of me....that's why i am self-conscious

Mishty :  Avni !....when u like someone , is feeling attracted to them so important ?....isn't feeling at ease around them more important

Hearing this Avni looked at her and thinks her moments with Neil..........
suddenly Avni shook her head

Avni : no no the one i like is Savas , not Neil

Mishty : hmm

****

Next day , After college , Avni was coming home.....just then in the road when she saw a man who was cycling about to pushed an old woman , she quickly runs to her and pushed her.....while saving her , they both fell on the ground

Man : ek side pe hoke nehi chal sakte kya.....r u blind ?

Avni looks at the woman in concern

Avni : aap thik hai na

Woman : haa..haa....( she can't get up , she is feeling weak )

Avni gets angry , she stood up and looks at that men

Avni : how unreasonable can u get ?.....can't u see , u knocked her down....take her to the hospital now

Man : it's not my problem that she can't see

He was about to go but Avni grab his hand

Avni : stay right there !....( shouts )...take her to the hostel

Man : get off me....( jerked his hand off )....how dare u

Avni : u can't scared me....wait i will call the police

Man : U !

he raised his hand to slap Avni....Avni closed her eyes but when she didn't feel anything , she opened her eyes and saw a lady held his hand and glaring at him

Lady : how dare u picked on a girl
( gritted her teeth )

The man gets scared when he recognised her

Man : so sorry mam

Lady : go and take her to the hospital....do u hear me ?

Man : yes mam.....( he holds that old woman and went )

The lady looks at Avni

Lady : r u okk ?

Avni : no no , i can clean it myself

Lady : no this is bad....come to my house

Saying this she dragged Avni with her

Later , when they reaches her house , Avni gets shocked

Avni in mind : why did this lady bring me to Neil's house....what's her relationship with him

Avni : mam !

Lady : i am Priya Khanna....u can call me by my name if u want
