Nandini : what happened Avni! Why are you running and panting so much? Did something happen? Calm down. Take deep breaths.

Avni took deep breaths and immediately blushed recalling how she was caught by Neil who threatened her how he will take his revenge afterwards.

Nandini frowns and thought why was her sister behaving so strange. She calls Avni's name out.

Nandini : are you okay? Why are you behaving so strange? Why do you look so flushed?

Avni snapped her head looking at Nandini and shakes her head whereas Nandini looked confused.

Nandini : is it what I am thinking? I didn't thought you both were going this fast.

It took a minute to register to Nandini why her sister was behaving like this and looked so flushed. Nandini smirks and thought of teasing her later.

Avni : no, di! You are thinking wrong. It's nothing like that. I think I applied too much blush.

Nandini : oh really? Should I tell this Neil now. I'm sure he must have done something to you. I very well understand what these two malthora brothers can do. I can't believe it Neil is so fast.

Avni : Di! Please stop teasing me. I came to call you down but look at you teasing me. Are you ready? Amma asked me to bring you down.

Nandini: yes! Can you please help me with this?

Nandini took the garja and showed Avni who nodding her head gestures Nandini took a sit. Avni stood behind Nandini and wraps the garja around Nandini's hair. She smiles widely staring Nandini.
