"Vo... Vo... Neil... Mujhe na bhuk lagi thi.. Issiliye Dhood peene aay thi..." she said while Zoya looked at her seeing ice cream all over her face.

"Mumma .." Zoya whispered calling her to say that her face was full of icec cream, trying to protect her mother while Avni looked at her. While Avni tilted her face asking her what.

"Zoya... Idhar aao bachaa..." Neil caught her and asked her to come near him. Zoya looked at Neil than Avni and slowly started moving near him.
