💝💝

Aravi is in her room. Later within 15minutes Avni grabbed her laptop then emerged in her didu's room.

"Didu if you don't mind can we sleep together tonight!!" She asked standing at the doorway.

Aravi was about to stepped inside the washroom her head turned to the direction the voice came from. "So you would take my permission now onwards before doing such things? Arey abhi se paraya math kar mujhey. abhi bhi kuch der aur rukungi iss ghar mein" she replied in a sulking tone, rolled her eyes and disappeared in the washroom.
Avni blew out a chuckle nodding she walked in with her laptop.

After sending few mails Avi decided to shut down the device. The day was long and tiring, she yawned feeling dozy.

In the meantime Aravi exited the washroom,took seat at the dresser and started delicately brushing her hair.

"Bonu tuney is hafte chutti le liya na..I mean the coming Sunday is my wedding.."Aravi asked braiding her recently done keratin smooth hai.

"Haan!!" Avni replied keeping her laptop on the bedside table.

"Good to kal se mera bridal treatment shuru ho jayega.. u know spa and all..to tubhi mere saath chalrai hai kalse...you are also having few things to be done" Aravi blabbered nonchalantly looking at the mirror.

"what do you mean!!" Avni frowned.

"kya!!! what do you mean!!" Aravi frowned back at Avni, her face full turned at her sister now.

"Matlab shaadi aapki hai aur main beauty treatment lene salon chalu? main wohsab nahi karne wali didu please!!" she said in an irritated tone shrugging off her demand, stood up and kept her laptop on the table beside the bed.

"Arey pagal spa aur facial karna.. thorina tujhey treatment leneko bolraihu..wohto mujhey zaroorat hai. See I got so much tan. And btw ye tujhey bhi pata hai I stay out of these make up stuffs and all.. as I believe if you have heathy skin then it's natural glow itself would give you a stunning look that any make up would hardly cover up.
Abto chalegi na mere saath salon!!" she made an awful eye rolling and Avni giggled. She didnt need to answer any. Aravi released a sigh in relief.

"Great!!thank you.." grinning now Aravi returned facing her reflection, applied some moisturizer on her face.
And watching her Avni laid. She would actually miss her Di. It's not that the field her Di has chosen let her often stay in town, instead her works alloted mostly in other country far from home. But she knows when it comes to someone's marriage there is something always related to lot of changes will take place in life. Same will happen with her di as well.

"Waisebhi kuch fark nahi padhne wala, main kuchbhi Karu..main hamesha dull hi dikhne wali hu.." pulling off her glasses Avni said in a impassive tone, kept it on her laptop.

Her words earned a deadly glare from her sister who harshly turned closed the moisturizer container lid.
"Dekh tujhey maine hazar baar kaha hai Avu. Tu is duniya ki sabse khub surat ladki hai.
Ye sab batein tu kyu sochti hai!!" Her tone rebuked, distasteful at her sister's words of demeaning herself. This is most bitter thing she hate about her sister when she think of herself so low.

"Ek baat bata tujhey kisine kabhi kaha hai kya all these disgusting things !!haan!!
I'm more than sure kisine nahi kaha ye sab, tera woh brainless dimaag mein chalta rehta hai ye sab.." she added more chastising Avni.

"Agar Neil yaaha hota na to tujhey pata chalta..woh bahot gussa hojata.
Sachmein.." muttering Aravi rose off, walked to get into the bed.

Taking the space on her side she sat beside Avni, adjusted her pillow.

Mention of Neil caused Avni fiddled with the fabric over the bed mattress, her gaze down.

"Achha!!main to roj bolti hu uske saamne, maineto kabhi nahi dekha usey gussa karte hua!!!" she said quietly then unfolded her duvet.

There a mischievous smile crept on Aravi's lips, she stared at her sister under an unsure frown.

Not getting any reply from Aravi, Avni turned her gaze, furrowed lightly her brows at Aravi.

"Kyu tu chahti hai ki Neil kuch react karein..humm!!" Her eyes danced in amusement.

They kept staring at each other for a moment.
And then it was Avni who has first shifted her eyes away.

"Nope!!maine aisa kab kaha!!" she looked another side avoiding her Didu's looking through her heart kind of gape over her.

Aravi keenly scrutinized her sister all over, especially her eyes.

"Really!! R u sure!!" she pushed a bit more.

Avni was as unfazed as before she swerved the topic.
"Didu Jiju reach karchuke hongey!! aapne call Kiya unko!!!"
she too calmly asked. If her Di knew inwardly how her heart bleating fast.

Aravi sighed a deep breath understanding that her sister doesn't want to talk on this topic anymore. So she thought better quit it here.

"Yes he reached and tomorrow Mamma Papa will go to their place for some more ritual talks, sort of paaka katha in Shivam's presence" (Paaka Katha means fixing official marriage date. It's a mandatory ritual perform by both the family in presence of some their close ones as well)

"Ooh achha. okay then you chat with Jiju..I'll sleep.. goodnight didu.."Avni closed her eyes.

Aravi took her ph staring at her facade, nodded her head gently she released a deep sigh.
Then her eyes shifted to her pH screen.

Aravi saw turning other side Avni switched off the side lamp, pulled the duvet over her face. What she didn't see, those her red cheeks recalling those glances of Neil over her he stole, while having their dinner today. Avni bit a smile imaging how he was looking extra handsome today.

Neela stood beside the balcony staring at the twinkling stars afar..

Since few years I have been noticing how Neil is falling hard for Avni..yes I can feel the love he has in his heart for my Avni but I always become numb whenever I think about it's consequences..I'm scared, those shouldn't comes on their path..
My concern reaches to its peak whenever I try to anticipate the whole thing how Reyaansh would react if he ever find out their closeness.
Will he consider them or it would be a blown to our bond with Khannas ? Will Sweta accept Avni?
I would never wish to witness Neil to be jumbled between his family and his love.
He is a very sensible boy.. I have seen how he was worried for Avni on that terrible day..it was a black day for all of us indeed..I could remember still we were all in a vulnerable condition..how anxious Neil looked those hours when Avni had been taken inside the examine room.
I should definitely talk to Neil before he could make up his mind for any confession..he should be stopped.
Before that I would talk to Bebe and Sweta..I hope they shall understand my concern.

"Jo raaz dafan hai main nahi chahti ki woh kabhi bhi hamare present banker samne aye.."
Neela heaved a deep sigh staring straight at nothing particular.

"Hey Neela come on sleep now we have to go to visit Basus tomorrow" Reyansh called Neela inside.
'Humm coming' Neela replied quitely, took her step away the spot to go inside.
She shut the slide door, reached the bed. Pulling the duvet close to her neck she switched off the lamp beside and immediately a hand wrapped around her waist, pulled her to his chest, same as every night. With a long exhale she shut her eyes.

Few minutes ago At Khanna Mansion.

All walked in.

Sweta perched on the couch with a thud. Prakash and Bebe took the seat on other one opposite Sweta. And Neil and Aman decided to

"Arey baapre aajto bahut khaliya..Neela ekdam thus thus k khilati hai..Bheema ek glass paani lana.."Sweta called out for Bheema who hastened out of her room to bring water for everyone.

"Haan bahut khaliya maine bhi" adding Bebe leaned her head over the headrest tiredly.

Bheema came with four glasses of water on a tray and served them.

Prakash emptied the glass in a breath and put it back on its spot. He rose off his seat.
"Bhai main to gaya soney. mujhey mera bed bularah hai." Prakash called it a night.

"Haan haan chal mainbhi jaati hu" Bebe tried to get up before Sweta held her hand to help her stand.

"haan Bebe chaliye..ye tum dono aise booth banke kyu khareho come on you two go to your room.." Sweta said, glancing back and forth over Neil and Aman, befuddled.

Neil glared at Aman then looked back at his mother and said
"Aaplog jaiye hum atehai.." with a forced smile Neil said gritting his teeth at Aman and Aman swallowed hard inwardly but appeared as if he has world's all the courage to face whatever his big brother is going to put him in, alone.

Prakash Bebe Shweta have no energy to continue the chitchat with their sons at this late hours when sleep is almost leaning to their door to walk in and grab them. So they walked to their respective rooms leaving the two in hall.

Neil immediately grabbed a cushion off the couch and tossed it on Aman as soon as their parents room door shut he heard.
Aman has took the seat on couch after their parents left, his eyes closed.

He startled getting hit by the cushion on his face that unexpected.
"bhai ye kya tha!!" he took the cushion and tossed on the side and said in a unfazed tone made Neil leaned forward supporting his arms on the top of the couch with his disgruntled gaze focussed over Aman.

"Achha kya tha!! tu apna muh bandh karke nahi rekh sakta? tujhey hamesha kuch na kuch bolnahi hai haina? kabhi kabhito main sochta hu tu mera bhai ho hi nahi sakta..." Neil snarled.

At this point Aman rose up his seat with jerk. His face askew with a devilish glint then his face straight before he retaliated back.
"Aap boldo mein bhi chup kar jaunga..jinta aap late karoge utna apko mujhey tolerate karna padega.." he replied taking his step backward.

When Neil noticed him trying to escape Neil did the same but forward.
"Achha!! tu ruk aajto tu gaya.." before he could catch his sassy brother he is suffice far away him.

Aman turned away and with a swift movement he scurried up the stairs. While Neil chased him behind, barreled faster skipping two stairs at a time.

"Bhai mafi dedo aajka kota khatam mera sachhi.." running Aman said when he saw Neil would actually reach him soon, and if he does no then one could save him to get a good biting before he dug his ass sprawled on the bed mattress tonight.
"matlab kalse tera firse chaalu!!
aajto tu pitega.."

"Arey aisa maine Kiya kya hai?" Aman let out a whine, dared to ask the stupid question he shouldn't at the moment.

"tu bahot bhola haire!! tujhey to aj nahi chorunga.." Neil made a sarcastic scoff.

"bebe Papa Mummy sab sogaye kya!! bachaao!!
Avniiiiii.." Aman yelled.

"ekdam chup.."
Neil grabbed his neck from behind and shut his mouth with his palm stopping Aman to awake everyone by his dense wail. His breath uneven due to the rush. Neil freed him after a nice smack on Aman's back. And Aman making a face how badly he has been treated, rubbing the spot he shut the door of his room and let out a breath in relief. But chuckled thinking what a fun he had at the dinner tormenting his brother.

Inwardly Aman Patted his back with a proud facade. Relaxation engulfed him when next second his ass plopped on comfy bed mattress, he laid after having freshen up quickly.

Avni Next day

It was 6pm in the evening I was seeping my tea in the drawing hall, lounging on the couch. My limbs stretched over the centre table. My pH let out a caller tune.
I took the pH up, saw the caller ID and it was none other than Neil. Immediately my face flushed and a smile crept on my lips.

"Hey hello" I responded.

"R you into any emergency stuffs or just sitting and doing nothing!!"he chuckled on the other side.

"Yup absolutely right..Mamma Papa went to Basu uncle's place..Didu and Shivam Jiju went for a date and I'm doing nothing yet sitting on the couch and getting oh so bored" I let out my frustrations with a eye rolling grumpy tone.

"Awesome, then why don't you join me in the YMall..Hum?" talking he looked at his wrist watch.

"Can you make it within half an hour!!
I have to pick some linen shirt shades..so will you come Avu!!"

I pulled my legs off the table with a snap, breath in excitement.
"Really!!!" I said keeping my overly elated voice in check.
I got so exhilarated going out with him and spending some time together.
"That's absolutely fine.. okkay I'm coming just give me half an hour.." I replied, being on the line talking to Neil I hastened my step upstair to my room to put myself in a decent attire as fast as possible.

Neil

I pulled in the parking lot, walked through the entrance and immediately spotted her at the Mango handbags corner.
She waved at me.

It was bliss meeting her in this unexpected hours.. thanks to Aravi's wedding she took this week off or we rarely get time to see eachother because being doctor he usually reach home late.. Even we get very little time to call each other whereas I take intiatives most of the time to call her first.

*

Neil wore a white shirt paring with beige chinos. He was looking worth drooling as always.

Avni heaved a gentle sigh staring at him, adjusted her spec on the bridge of her nose.
Being overly confused what to put upon herself so that she would look elegant and a tiny bit beautiful in her own eyes looking at her reflection she finally fixed on a simple maroon top with a light blue ripped jeans and had walked out of the room after leaving her hair loose.

Neil went close to her, paused his steps in a decent distance. When she finally realised she was gawking at him and her cheeks grew a crimson red Avni blinked away. Dragging a chest full air of discomfort She brought her gaze back at Neil whose lips curved full grin watching her. But his eyes depicted something else, they took a single look of her whole form head to toe under some intestinal emotions. Avni failed to decipher.

"Men collections are over in 3rd floor..Let's go" saying Neil turned to that direction.
Her stomach kicked hard when she felt his tender hold around her wrist and Neil strode towards the escalator. Being in some mojo he has done to Avni her step moved forward following him. God knows what he blabbered on the way taking to her with him.
Her mind couldn't registered anything around but his touch and everytime she flinched when his thumb almost implausible like yet rubbed the spot over her skin. At that moment her body got hyper sensitive, heart wildly beating.

If he knew what actually he is doing to her.

Mera Bina main rehne lagahu..
Teri hawaan mein behne Laga hu..
Jaane main kaise Tera hua hu..
Mujhey to lagta hai ye shayad tere dilki dua hu Haan..
Tujhko jo paaya..ahaah..
To jeena aya..
Ab ye lamha theher jaye tham jaye bass jaye hum dono k darmiyaan..

To be continued..
