J:not fare Neil u didn't Cal me since 3 days!!tell me if I didn't call u nw would u call me?juhi said it in a lil irritated tone.
N:y should I call u dumboo?I don't wanna loose my peace of mind.neil said smiling lightly.
J:acha Chalo u ll always talk lyk dis only.tellu me where r u?
Neil said it after a long pause.
N:I am with a frnd y?Neil said dis looking at avni.
Avni was listening to him but couldn't understand who was on other side.avni gave a smile to Neil but somewhere she was nt feeling happy with his answer.for once she wished to be more than a frnd to him.
J:frnd?who's that of frnd of urs whom I dnt knw??
N:ya gotta new frnd.hw many days should I stay with u?iam bored so gotta new frnd!!Neil said sarcastically just to irritate juhi.
Juhi was really irritated and she didn't lyk his answer.she felt very bad.
J: Neil tell me who is that.
N:ok baba I ll introduce to u also but tell me y did u call now?
Avni really wanted to draw his attention she wanted him to spend his tym with her but here he was busy with his some so called frnd.some how she understood that it was a girl.she was eager to know abt tht grl who called him at dis tym of night but Neil talking to her enthusiastically worried her more.she couldn't understand y was she being dis possessive abt him.
J:c I frgt d reason y I called u!!I called u to inform u tht iam gng to come to India next month.
N:ohh so r u done with ur vacations.had enough tym with ur parents??
J:ha y do u want me to stay here fr some more days or wat?? don't u miss me Neil??
N:I miss u Soo much dumboo.
J:aweee so sweet of u neil.but u need to wait fr 45 days to c me.
Avni strtd feeling uneasy wen she heard Neil saying I miss you so much dumboo....so she thought to leave n she stood up!!Neil saw gng away so he called her
N:avni........????
Juhi heard dis!!till nw she was thinking that frnd was a boy but nw it was clear that it was a girl.
Avni turned to Neil listening him.
J:Neil,who dis avni?u r with a girl.
Neil didn't listened wat juhi was saying as his concentration was on avni's sad face.so he said
N:juhi I ll talk to you later bye.
Neil nvr stopped talking to her in d middle dis was d frst tym n juhi didn't lyk dis at all.neil kept phone aside without disconnecting d call.so juhi was listening wat was they speaking..
N:avni wat happened? leaving me here where were u gng.???

N:y wat happened suddenly?I think u r stressed out.ok come nw will go inside.come.
A:no Neil it's ok u carry on I'll go.
N:avni it's nt tht important call.come on come with me saying dis he took her to d room leaving a jealous juhi on call.here juhi was burning in anger after listening to Neil saying that her call was not so important....from tht moment only she strtd hating avni.(as I said juhi was very possessive abt neil.evn she hates swetha also fr d same reason bcz Neil gives much attention to Swetha n bebe but she lyks bebe).
Here Neil n avni headed towards avni's room.neil made avni sit on bed and he gave water to her.
A:Neil iam perfectly fine.
N:(Neil gave her a watever look n said)wat were u doing till that tym in hospital??
A:ntng I was just......she don't know what to say so she stopped there.
N:okay.
Avni want to ask abt d call but she hesitated to ask thinking it may be his personal cal.but Neil strtd d conversation.
N:sry avni I was talking to juhi n couldn't spend tym with u.
So nw avni gt to know tht her name was juhi.....
A:juhi??????
N:ha juhi she is my childhood frnd n my bestie of life.we studied together since childhood.most of d tym she stays with us only as her parents will stay in america.n he continued talking abt juhi fr so long tym..avni understood that she has a special place in Neil's life n they r very clz.she was nt feeling gd listening to Neil talking abt juhi fr tht long tym,she wanna stop him but she couldn't.fr once she felt that he loves her n that feeling drowned avni in a deep ocean of fear.
Avni's pov

Neil started talking abt juhi.in d strtng I also want to know abt her Neil was  continuously saying abt her n his experiences with her...fr once I felt like he loves her.dnt know y I was feeling like yelling at Neil fr talking about her.i feared that I would loose Neil also.but iam feeling lyk dis.he is just a frnd but y iam feeling dis possessive abt him?y do I feel like he is nt just a frnd but smthng more than that?wats dis feeling? somewhere my heart says that they r just frnds but mind says that he loves juhi.my mind n heart strtd a war to prove there own points.i couldn't handle it anymore so I asked him directly to stop d battle inside me.
Pov ended.
A:can I ask smthng Neil?
N:yes avni!!
A:R u in love????avni asked having a hope in her eyes that he would say no n she prayed to gannu that it shd be no n reason???also unknown to her, shocking Neil...
N:avni??
A:iam sry I just asked u because u were talking abt juhi tht much sooo just out of curiosity...
N:okay no need to be sry u can ask me anything u wish.i would love to answer said Neil giving a pause Neil gave his answer as yes breaking her already broken heart into million pieces..
A:Neil.....???tht d only word avni uttered after knowing his answer.
N:ha avni who won't love their frnds tell me??
Avni was confused with his answer.
A:means u lv just as a frnd???avni asked him again with a small hope.
N:yeah I lv her just as a frnd not lyk my girlfriend n he gave a pause before saying don't worry with a mischievous grin....
Avni blushed hearing dis which was noticed by Neil also but didn't say anything bcz he don't want to make d situation awkward fr her.avni couldn't meet his eyes.
N:avni...
A:w...w.....wo....worry???y.........y.....y..... would...I.....wo....woo.....worry?avnu said stammering which made Neil chuckle inside with her cuteness n after that they talked abt other routine things frgetting everything.neil n avni turned their faces to a clock suddenly n were shocked to c d tym.its was 4:30 in d morning......
N:oh God it's 4:30 n I didn't even realized iam so sry avni I wasted ur tym n didn't let u sleep even iam sry I ll leave now but inside his heart was saying opposite to tht.he enjoyed her company n want to continue it by staying with her all the tym but he felt like he don't have a right to stay there more than this so he said it unwillingly.
Avni also don't want him to leave fr once she cursed time fr completing dis fast n she also said ok unwillingly.
N:c u bye I ll keep in touch..
A:bye,yeah sure...
With that he left n avni got freshen up quickly n lied on bed thinking about him.do I love him??avni askd herself
