AVNEIL FF: LOVE chapter 30

Avneil reached to the malll and went in.

Avni: let me call rhea and ask where she is right now

Neil nodded

Avni: hey rhea where r u

Rhea: babes I’m at Starbucks with Ali on the first floor but where r u and Neil

Avni: we r at the mall now

Rhea: ok come up we will wait for u over here

Avni: ok ….

both cut the call

Neil: where is she

Avni: in Starbucks with Ali

Neil: let’s go then

Avneil headed up and reached to Ali and rhea

Rhea got up when she saw Avni and hugged her remembering that incident that happened yesterday. Avni hugged her back knowing how concerned rhea must have been

Avni: I’m ok. She said breaking the hug and cupped rhea cheek.. rhea smiled and kissed Avni cheek.

Ali: u both r acting like u r meeting after so many years isn’t it Neil?

Neil: girls r girls after all ali….he said winking at Ali and in return both got a glare from Avni and rhea

They all sat down

Ali: so all ready for the engagement.

Avni: yes we both r mentally prepared. She said looking at Ali and then at Neil

Rhea: i must say our family members r so quick Prakash uncle managed to find a lovely place for the engagement

Avni: yeah but the most annoying thing is where we r made to try on so many outfits which we only wear for few hours

ali: avni at least some time behave like a girl

avni: what do u mean sometimes I always do

ali gave a *r u serious* look

Neil: Ali don’t forget mom said u have to come to khanna mansion to get ready and we all will leave from there

Rhea: by the way congrats to u both for becoming friends.

Avni. What is there to congratulate we just became friends it’s Nothing big

Rhea: oh yes it is babes especially when two people who never get along become friends

Neil: true after all someone has to think twice to become friends with u miss ajooba he said teasing Avni

Avni: oh really as far as I remember u agreed straight away

Neil: well what can I do I’m such a kind person that I can’t say no to anyone.

Avni: really? Since when did u become kind

Neil. Since childhood .

Ali. Bachoooo (kids) enough….u can continue your argument later on for now let’s decide what to do

Rhea: shopping

Avni: a big NO

Aji: movie

Neil: not a bad idea

Rhea: but what movie

Avni: any except horror.

Neil: u r scared of horror movie?

Avni: y is it a crime to be scared of horror movie

Neil: no i thought u won’t be scared of horror movies but people around probably would get scared seen u he said laughing but in return he got smack from Avni on his arm

Rhea: Avni come with me we will go and get popcorn and u both go and choose a good movie and get the tickets

The boys nodded but before going Avni glared at Neil while Neil smirked at her

Ali: so what took u both so long he asked Neil while standing in the line and checking what movies r playing at the cinema today

Neil: we were on our way when Avni saw the beach and wanted to go there for sometime

Ali : she has so many memories at the beach

Neil: she actually started telling me about her childhood.

Ali : if Ashish uncle hadn’t blamed Avni for Ayesha aunty death then u would have seen such a lovely avni full of masti

Neil: u know Ali when she was talking about her childhood and the happy moments she had it felt like I was getting to know a different Avni. She believed in love and marriage but her dads words made her stop believing in all this

Ali: Haan yaar we r just waiting for that day when Avni stops thinking she is actually the cause for Ayesha aunty death as Ashish uncle words have hurt her very badly.

Neil: do u think he will attend the engagement today

Ali: nobody knows the answer to that except Ashish uncle

Meanwhile Avni and rhea were waiting to get the popcorn

Rhea: I’m sorry

Avni: for what

Rhea: yesterday I didn’t call u to ask how u were and even today. U have always been there for me and I couldn’t even comfort u

Avni: I’ll slap u one if u say that again. I know how much U have been there for me so don’t ever say that again

Rhea smiled and hugged Avni sideways

Avni: by the way what movies do u think Ali must have chosen she said changing the topic

Rhea: gods knows but I hope it’s something good.

Then finally got the popcorns and drinks and waited for the boys to see them coming towards them after few mins

Rhea: what movie did u guys choose

Ali: Badrinath Ki Dulhania come lets go it’s going to start in few mins

Rhea: wait wait lets take a selfie first

Avni: how can we forget that when rhea is around then a selfie is a must. Avni and rhea stood next to each other while Ali and Neil stood behind them.. all posed in different angles.

All after went in and sat down at the back. Avni and rhea were sitting together while Ali sat on the side of rhea while Neil sat on the other side of Avni

Avni handed Neil his popcorn and drink

Neil: thanks…. while avni just smiled back… after few mins the movie started… all were enjoying it laughing at the funny scenes in between . During the movie when the song “humsafar” started playing. Avni had moved to take some popcorn in her hands which she had kept bedside her and Neil when she felt something.. she looked down to see her fingers on Neil’s hand which was already in the box… when she looked up to see Neil face he was already looking at her… even in the darkness they could see each other properly (adhm tune playing in the background now)… both their hands were still inside the popcorn box while they continued looking at each other

Suddenly someone from the Audience spoke loudly praising the scene which made Avneil come out of their wonderland and Avni moved her hands away

Avni: y r u taking my popcorn she said behaving normally to avoid the awkward moment .. she spoke quietly so that only Neil can hear her

Neil: I was into the movie so I didn’t realise that I’m taking your popcorn he said speaking in the same tone

Avni: really? Never knew police officers get lost while watching movies I thought they r always alert all the time she said teasingly

Neil : u see miss ajooba even police officers r human and we r always alert especially when we r on duty and right now I’m not on duty but trust me if I know something is fishy then nothing can stop the police man inside me from coming out

Avni: wow even in this u somehow made sure to self praise yourself

Before Neil could say anything rhea whispered

Rhea: guys concentrate on the movie.. she said telling them off.

It was around 3 when the movie had finished

Rhea: it was a good movie right

Avni: hmm

Ali: it would be good after all I chose it

Rhea: and u both couldn’t stay without talking she said to Neil and Avni

Avni: what did I do?

Neil: u r the one who started talking and now u r asking what did I do?

Avni: Haan but that was because of u of u so don’t even blame it on me

Rhea : enough now we have to go

Avni : where

Rhea: diksha bua salon

Avni: not again she said making a face

Rhea: oh yes babes she just messaged me 30 mins ago and I replied back to her saying we rnon our way

Avni. But y

Rhea: babes today is the engagement so she said its best we get some beauty treatment donee. That’s y now come and on and u guys we will see u later she said kissing Ali on the cheeks and hi fived Neil while avni shouted bye loudly as rhea started dragging her by then

At the metha mansion

Dayawanti had come back as she had to go and make some arrangements for the engagement with Neela in the morning…. when she entered the dining area she saw bheema cleaning up

Dayawanti : bheema

Bheema: ji dadi

Dayawanti: where is Ashish

Bheema: he is in his room

Dayawanti nodded and left to go and see Ashish

When she entered the room she saw her son busy going through a file

Dayawanti in her head: I know u have decided not to come to the engagement but don’t forget I’m your mother dayawanti metha and i know exactly how to convince u

Dayawanti metha: Ashish

Ashish looked up from his file to see dayawanti coming towards him

Ashish : maa u Here? Did u need anything

Dayawanti: y can’t i come and see my son? After all I’m seen him after so many years

Ashish: its nothing like that maa u can come to me anytime.

Dayawanti: so how is your business going in abroad

Ashish: it’s going well maa got few new deals so we r going good

Dayawanti: that’s good by the way Ashish Be ready at 6 as the engagement is at 7

Ashish: maa don’t even expect me to be there i have nothing to do with that girl

Dayawanti: Avni is her name!… she said strictly

Ashish: maa please I’m not stopping any of u but please don’t force me

dayawanti: fine if u don’t want to come for Avni then at least come for rhea sake.. Avni doesn’t mean anything to u right?…. but rhea does …plus what will an outsider say a father is not attending his own daughter engagement.

Ashish: fine I will only be attending for rhea and Ali engagement

Dayawanti:thank u

Ashish smiled and got back to doing his work while dayawanti left from there thinking she finally convinced Ashish to attend the engagement by giving rhea excuse
