Seeing her through the lavish window of my car seem to be a beautiful dream between the traffic her auto was beside my car and I can get a good view of her chikankari kurta and the dupatta around her forehead trying to protect her delicate skin from the harsh sunlight and pollution the horns were blowing it was not a pleasent situation but her single glance gave me the peace for which I longing for this 2 years, her eyes were enough to recognize her it's hard to forget those pair of bold, fierce eyes..

I opened a little of my car window to hear her melodic voice it was still audible between the sound of horns
"bhaiya aur kitni der mujhe late ho rha hain. " she said glancing at her wrist watch.. Her voice was so pleasent. I was hearing it after 2 years she waved her to get rid of the smoke and opened her dupatta and wiped her sweaty face started to move it once forward and backward to produce some cool air now I could get a view of her full face her sweaty baby hairs were stick with her white face with sweat dripping continuously and her lips, her mole, her big doe innocent pair of eyes , her white cheeks, her nose, her forehead where I used to kiss her and her chubby cheeks would cover with a pink hue I miss that avni of mine..

She was never yours Neil's subconscious spatted infact you didn't deserve her, you've hurted her lot in the past. It stated.

I noticed Neil khanna from corner of my eyes he was observing me don't know since when I stayed as if I didn't saw him and continued to blow air and asked "bhaiya aur kitni der, mera aaj first day mujhe late nhi hona. " to get disappointment in return "madam aur Aadha ghanta lagega bhot traffic hain. " I covered my face with the dupatta and turned my face sideways

"Unki mohabbat ki abhi nishaan baki hain, naam lab par hain aur jaan baki hain.
Kya hua dekhkar muh pher lete hain, tasalli hain ki shakal ki pehcaan baki hai "

The traffic was turning green but, the signal turned green and his eyes turned red. Does he love me? She thought.

The signal turned green I could never forget this moments of traffic where I met her yet again. Thank you Almighty I hope she gets what she desire of. My cheeks were wet the tears run down my cheeks.. I wiped it harshly no one should know.. Because I grew with a upbringing where BOYS DOESN'T CRY. I wore my shades and closed my window as I saw the auto being vanish in front of my eyes..
Driver, drive to office. I stated

~SPACEXPLAZA~
home of millions of superhit video games. The office was the coolest place high level graphics, testing new games, making apps are really fun
thing.

Yeah I will check it, and she will be joining today. - I replied.

9:55 am I am late on the first day..
Ahh!

While checking the games on virtual headset I bumped onto someone in corridor every one is in the testing area than who the hell is it!? I removed the headset in a hurry to see the biggest happiness in my life Avni lying on the floor and the papers were flying as if it was a Bollywood Romantic scene I have her hand and surprisingly she hold it and stood.. She didn't saw my face yet..

Shit! I bumped onto someone the person helped me to stand I saw him he saw me Neil I whispered.. Avni he whispered it was a longing view I wanted from this 2 years but after what he did to me! ..

Back in time- (avneil college days)

Neil just than.. Avni stopped her talks and looked at her boyfriend Neil who was shamelessly staring at the new girl aishwariya indeed she was hot unlike avni who was cute and innocent . Than ashwariya came and put her hand at Neil's chest and they started talking Neil was so engrossed in ashwariya that he didn't realized when avni left the place being hurt she went to the church which was in the college campus..

Lord I was a orpan and got a scholarship in this college and I met Neil I know what happens in life is for good but what's happening in my life is good? He is not interested in my talks anymore does he even love me? I.. She wasn't able to continue and end up sobbing she left the church and went to her hostel.

Neil turned to see avni beside but she left shrugging away the thoughts why she left and he went with ashwariya..

6 months passed avneil wasn't having a proper conversation since when! Neil was busy with ashwariya and kept hurting the poor soul avni saw all this and thought to confront Neil.

Neil we need to talk.. Avni said while pulling Neil I don't want to. Neil replied avni pulled him with her with great force and took him to the church.
Avni what the hell didn't you saw I was talking to ashwariya.! Neil said. I saw that and did you forgot you have a girlfriend.! Avni spatted Neil remain quite why are you quite! AM I NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND? Avni roared like a lioness actually we need to talk I think it's not working between us we should  separate Neil said while it broke avni's heart in a million pieces WHAT?! Neil we can talk and sort out everything right?  Avni said trying to keep the relationship between them. No avni it's not what you think I think we should separate I will be happy with ash ( ashwariya) and you move on please. Neil said this words and left was it easy to move on after a relationship of 4 years..  It was not normal for avni but she kept herself strong and didn't even look at Neil. Neil tried to be friend with her but she rejected it saying she doesn't want any kind of relation with her EX. Neil was also hurt but what to do the damage it already done in a month Neil came to know about ashwariya she was a party animal and Neil didn't like those she forcefully took him to them and Neil end up having severe headache while avni kept herself engrossed with her studies  Neil always find chances to talk to her now. Avni wasn't paying any heed to him..ashwariya and Neil was not having a good relationship. Neil came to know that thing in the 10 days of their relationship but he always try to mend it.. One day ashwariya came and  Neil we need to talk.. You're not my type see you don't like partying I love to do and there are many things between us you like but I don't see to Varun he is totally my type so I think we should  separate I will be happy with V (varun) and you please move on..  And left those were the same words he said to avni but the difference is that today he is the listener and today his is the one whose heart broke into million pieces today he realized the pain his words cause to avni he is feeling sad because ashwariya broke the 2 months relationship but what he did he broke the 4 year of relationship. He was ashamed of his deeds and for his surprise avni changed the college as her orphanage was shifted to some other place so he didn't got time for asking  sorry and a second chance.

~end~( past)

Mein socho to mera khayal ho tum
Mein maango to meri dua ho tum.

Avni looked straight in his eyes,but he wasn't able to meet her eyes those were too powerful and hurt.

Avni,.. Avni mehta I am the new graphic designer! Will you show me the desk. Avni spoke professionally as if nothing was there between them. But is it all over? There!  Neil pointed avni left to the desk.

4 months later

It was all good going avni was talking to Neil only about the professional line and try to talk to her Neil thought to apologize for all the deeds he did and ask for new start as he realised her value and how he had taken her for granted.. The office hours were completed the employees were leaving one by one.. Neil from his cabin glancing the clock and waiting for the employees to leave little early so that  he can talk with avni.. Finally it Neil's wish was granted and he rushed to avni who was packing up her stuffs in her  bag. Any work left?  Avni asked seeing Neil  yes which I have done 2 years back.. Avni see I know I did wrong but I realised my misdeeds in search of stars I lost my moon, avni I was at  vulnerable state when you wasn't with me I wanted you every phase of my life I realised how you felt when  I left you.. Please will you forgive me. Can we do a new start?  Neil said, avni paused for a moment and after thinking deeply she replied only fools will believe you and give you a second chance! Avni said while Neil turned being disappointed as he knows the answer will be NO he thought it was obvious she can't risk what if he leave her again he gave a explanation to himself. He felt avni's hand on his wrist he stopped but did turn. Avni stood on her toes to match the height and said And I am one of those fools.!  Avni said while Neil's lips crept into a smile he turned and hugged her tightly both were in tears. Neil was ranting sorries in her ears she broke the hug and took his lips for a kiss

The longer the wait.
The sweeter the kiss.
