Days passes, Avneil were enjoying every moment together. The day always filled with happiness and romance as like any other ordinary couples. They feel like they were in their Honeymoon phrase in their wedding life. Even though they know it will only remain for shorter period of time. But they seemed to not worry about that.

Once a day

Neil was lying on Avni's lap and they were reading books individually. Neil hold Avni hand and tangled with his, and kissed her back of her hands.

"Avi... " He called her who seemed to be engrossed in her book.

"Hmm.. " She hmm-ed in response still looking at the book.

"You seem to more interested in the book .. " He murmured pouting while she laughed and looked at him. He was playing with her fingers.

"Should I paint your nails? " He asked excitedly getting up from his lap.

"Huhmmm.. Why not?... But i want to be perfect... " She said folding her hands.

"Don't underestimate the power of Neil.." He raised his imaginary collar.

...

He started with her index finger.

"Aishh... You got it on my finger... " Avni pouted while Neil smiled nervously showing his teeth.

"Sorry... " He said and started doing again.

"Have you done this for your girlfriends too? " She asked him while he looked at her.

"Ofc.... They always love when I do... " He lied to tease her.

"Stop... I didn't ask your story... It's just a simple yes or no question... " She rolled his eyes making him chuckle.

"You lack experience even though you always do nails for your girlfriends... " She said and poked her tongue out teasing him while Neil stopped and looked at her with a pout while Avni laughed.

He suddenly pulled her closer.

"But I am good at so many other things right? " He asked making her laugh fade away. Avni smack his hands and looked away while Neil looked at her.

"Wait... Don't tell me you took it the other way... " He asked with a smirk while she looked everywhere else but not.

"No.. " She cleared her throat saying to him while Neil looking at her cute expression

"So..Did you had boyfriends...? " He asked her to know about her.

" No... " She told him while he looked at her shockingly.

"Really? " He asked her in disbelief while she chuckled.

"Yeahhh... Please ah... Let normalize not being in a relationship before wedding.." She told him still laughing.

"Yeahh...It's normal .. But..... Like don't tell me you haven't received proposals at all... " He told her and he engrossed in talking, forgetting what he was doing.

" Hmm... Yeahh i received quite a lot... But you know... I was not.. Into relationship at all... I don't know why.... My world revolved around... Papa.. School.. Collage and work.... I was not much interested in other things... I only wanted to be independent... That's was my only focus... " She said to him while he just looked at her and nodded.

There become a quite silence and he again started doing her nails.

"Can I say something...? " He asked her doing nails not looking at her.

"Yess.. " She said nodding her head

" You are too good to be a first time kisser." He said looking straight into her eyes while Avni looked at him with her eyes widen and snack his hand, looking at him blushing.

"Woahhh... You are such a flirt... " She told him still blushing making Neil laugh so hard seeing her blushing.

"It's a compliment... By the way... It's not something that I should be ashamed off right... " He bragged about his flirting skill while Avni rolled her eyes.

" No wonder you would have many girlfriends... " Avni was no mood to leave his ex- girlfriends.

"Excuse me!!... I had 2 relationship only... And by the way... Why are you calling them girlfriends .... It's in my past... " Avni laughed seeing his annoyed face.

"Awlee... Mr. Neil got irritaed.. " She pulled his cheeks annoying him more. While he rolled his eyes

"Make it quick... " She sealed her lips laughing silently

He is done painting her nails.

" Good! " She told him and pecked his cheeks making him looked at her. Neil chuckled at ger antics and looked at her who is more adorable.

At evening

Avni was standing on the porch and enjoying the raining. Neil came with a two mugs of hot chocolate. He came her hugged her side ways wrapping his hand around her neck giving her the hot chocolate while she looked at him and smiled.

After finishing their hot chocolate in their cold weather. They seemed still standing there speaking sweet nothings to each other as Avni slowly kept her head on his shoulder.

Neil slowly kissed her hairs looking at her who is so busy looking at the sky.

"I wish... I just wish... I could hold you like this forever... " He thought looking at her while Avni looked at him at the right time as like she heard him saying and saw him who was already staring at her.

"I wish... I just wish... That this place is forever mine to lye down... " She thought looking at him.

She stood up and looked at him directly.

"I don't know Neil..." She thought

" I really don't know.. Avni... " He thought

"Whether it's right or wrong... " She thought

" Whether it's right or wrong " He thought

" Whether I did right of asking you to live like a couple.?.." She thought

"Whether it's a right thing to kiss you...?" He thought

" Whether it's a right thing to hug you..." She thought

" Even after knowing that it will be of short term.." He thought

" and in the end its my heart which is going to break... " She thought

" But Is it really a right thing to think of ? " He thought

" wanting to be with you? " She thought

"To think about kissing you? " He thought

"Is it really right thing to do ? " She thought

"No... May be.. Yes.. " They thought in unison.

Their faces inched closer and their lips met kissing each other again. The cold breeze making no good on them while his warm lips doing it's work. His hand holding her waist gently while her hand holding his tee tightly, crumbling it, afraid of falling weak at this moment. The drizzles of the Rain were over them and Avni feels the chills in the spain. Neil's hands moved towards her back of her waist and pulled her closely filling the gap. They were kissing each other deeply not wanting to let go of each other.

.......

Days passed by,

They felt like the days gone by the blink of eyes. Neil is going to board flight tomorrow in the morning. They are going through mixed emotion, but they didn't show it directly. Neither they behaved awakward, nor they avoided each other. It's going just like their ordinary days.

Avni helped him with Packing and everything is over by now. He then left to meet Riya to say her about his departure.  Whereas Avni passed the plan as she was not in the right state to go.

It's been Night,

Neil came home after meeting Riya. He entered home and found her came out from kitchen after having dinner.

"You came? " She asked him smiling while he smile and nodded.

"Haa.. You had your dinner? " He asked her while she nodded. She came and just hugged him keeping her head on his shoulder.

" I am feeling so sleepy today... " She said snuggling onto him closer. He smiled and picked her in bridal style in his arms and left to room.

He made her lye down carefully. And he lye beside her and took her in his arms.

" Neil... " She called him with her eyes closed .

"Hmm.. " He replied to her in response with his eyes closed.

" Don't wake me up tomorrow.. " She said to him while he opened his eyes and looked at her whose eyes were still closed. Avni didn't want to see him going that's why she told him not to wake her up.

"Haa Avni... " He told her without asking anything and hugged her tightly.

The Next Morning

Avni stirred in sleep and her eyes gets opened. Her vision gets blurry and again she closed her eyes. She opened it again and found her other side of the bed empty. Her hand moved towards his empty side and caressed it while her eyes filled with tears. She just closed her eyes inhaling a deep breath while the tears escaped from her eyes.
