Chapter 04:

It was the time of night, the moon was shining in the sky over the Villa and the villa was glowing in the moonlight. Inside the villa, everyone was standing around the table and Kareena was ready to cut the cake.

Kareena cut the cake and everyone sang the birthday song. Kareena fed Neil first and Neil looked at Maddy Bua who assured him to eat. Avni noticed that and then she looked at Neil. Neil smiled and he had the cake from Kareena’s hand and then he fed Kareena. Kareena fed her mother and others.

Later, the youngsters were sitting together and Neil came with the staff member and he passed the cold drink to everyone. Neil took two glasses of cold drink.

Neil: Riya.

Riya looked at him.

Neil: this is for you and this is for this (Neil sighed at Avni with his eyes) angry bird.

Avni glared at him.

Neil: oops… sorry, your cousin sister.

Neil smiled to see Avni who looked away in anger. Neil loves to tease her. Riya and the others smiled. Riya took the glass and she passed it to Avni.

Avni: I don’t want it.

Riya: oh come on, Avni, Neil was just kidding.

Neil suppressed his lips and nodded. Neil held his ear and said sorry by making a sad and innocent face. Avni made a face and she took the glass from Riya.

Neil: Thank you.

Avni glared at him and then she looked away. Neil smiled.

Avni in mind: No, he is good only for his family. I was right about him. He is a mannerless and bullhead person. Idiot, stupid.

Neil hiccupped.

Everyone looked at Neil including Avni.

Karan: what happened?

Neil looked at Avni who was looking at him and then Neil looked at Karan.

Neil: I think someone is cursing me in the heart.

Avni was surprised. Karan frowned and Neil saw Avni from the corner of his eyes and Avni sipped her cold drink to avoid him. Neil smiled.

Karan and the others followed Neil's gaze and Neil smiled. They understood his point. They smiled and Avni glared at Neil.

Later, Neil and Karan were standing in the corner and Neil’s eyes were on Avni. Karan saw that and he was noticing Neil since they came. Karan saw Avni and then he looked at Neil. Neil saw Karan who was giving a teasing look to Neil by folding his arms. Karan raised his eyebrows. Neil looked away.

Karan: what is happening all this?

Neil: what?

Karan: that's what I am asking what is the scene?

Neil: what scene?

Karan: oh come on, don't do this acting in front of me. I know you very well. What is your scene with Avni? Do you like her?

Neil: Mere akele ke like karne se kya hota hai? She should also like me but she has a full-on problem with me.

Karan smiled.

Karan: that’s right. Hey, why don’t you tell her about your feelings?

Neil: are you mad? She already hates me and if I confess my love to her then that tigress will eat me alive.

Karan: love?

Neil was stunned.

Karan: Not bad, I thought you like her but here the thing went far away. The case looks complicated.

Neil blushed.

Karan: blushing and all, oye hoye.

Neil: shut up, Karan.

Karan smiled.

Karan: if you say then I talk to Avni or ask Riya to talk to her.

Neil instantly said, no.

Karan was surprised.

Neil: you will not talk to her and you will not tell about it to anyone, not even Riya.

Karan: Why?

Neil: No, whatever has to be done, I will do it myself. Please, don’t tell about it to anyone.

Karan: But why?

Neil: try to understand, Karan. You will tell Riya and she is best friend of Avni so she will tell her about it and I don’t want any type of hurdle and obstacle in my way. And moreover, Mom, if she got to know about it then she will directly go to talk about the alliance without thinking twice. She is my mother, I know her. In excitement, she will ruin everything.

Karan nodded.

Karan: hmm, you are right.

Neil sighed while keeping his hand on his side.

Karan: then what will you do?

Neil was looking at Karan. Neil sighed.

Neil: I don’t know. Avni is a hard nut to crack. She is much tougher than my imagination, my thinking.

Neil shook his head and Karan smiled.

Karan: so, now.

Neil suppressed his lips.

Neil: If it is written in the fate that we will become one, then we will become one otherwise...

Neil raised his hand up by suppressing his lips. Karan kept his hand on Neil’s shoulder.

Karan: don’t worry, everything will be alright.

Neil smiled.

Neil: I hope so.

They smiled.

Later, Avni was standing on the terrace next to the rail by holding it and she was smiling by looking at the moon and stars. Avni looked down and she smiled to see the moon’s image in the pool. Avni looked up. Neil came there and when he looked up, he was surprised to see Avni standing there. Neil smiled. Neil thinks and he smirked.

Neil: hey beautiful.

Avni flinched and she turned. Avni was surprised to see Neil.

Avni: you?

Neil: yes, me, why? Did you expect someone else?

Avni: when did I say that?

Neil: means you were waiting for me?

Avni got angry and she looked away.

Neil: now what it means? What should I think, what this means?

Avni: this means, you are irritating me.

Neil: liar. You got to know that I come here daily so you came here to meet me, right?

Avni came forward in anger and stopped at some distance.

Avni: No. if I had an idea that you will come here then I would never come here.

Neil: now, don’t lie, sweetheart.

Avni was shocked and Neil smiled. Avni got angry.

Avni: Neil.

Avni warned Neil: Don’t you dare to call me that again.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: Relax, Avni, I was just joking.

Avni: I don’t like these types of jokes and since when you became that much close to me that you crack jokes with me.

Neil was shocked.

Avni: My previous opinion about you was right.

Neil frowned.

Avni: You are the number one mannerless, shameless and flirtatious person.

Neil was shocked.

Avni: but your, this flirt will not work on me, do you get that. I know the boys like you very well so stay away from me.

Neil was shocked.

Avni: otherwise, the consequences will not be good for you. Do you understand? You better understand.

Avni glared at Neil who was innocently looking at her. Avni fumed and she goes from there passing by him. Neil turned and he was looking at Avni who goes. Neil got angry.

Neil: shit. I should not come in that idiot Karan’s words.

Neil mimicked Karan: Neil, flirts with her, girls show that they are not liking it but in reality they like it. Maine Riya ko ase hi pataya tha… idiot.

Neil caught his forehead and ran his hand to his mouth.

Neil: Tch… Neil, the mistake is yours. You know that Avni is not like other girls still you tried this trick.

Neil got upset.
