CHAPTER 13Bebe asked Avni and Neil to enter their rooms.
" Now Go, and start your new journey from this night"
Avni and Neil blushed entering their room. They both were finding it difficult to talk.
" Let me dress your wounds, you're severely wounded"
Avni started dressing his wounds. Avni was crying seeing his state while Neil was smiling seeing his lady love's concern for him.
" Arrey yaar yeh moti pocho ab, bahut hogaya."
Avni tried to compose herself but failed to do so. She tried to leave but Neil held her hand from behind. He pulled her towards himself, resting his chin on her shoulder and folding his hands around hers.
" Leave everything now, but what did you say on the beach, I... "
Avni said it naughtily
" What did I say? I don't remember anything. I am feeling very tired, I am going to sleep."
Neil got annoyed and left her. He turned to the opposite direction. Avni shouted from behind-
" I Love You Mr. Neil Khanna. You are my dream which came true and I cannot express in words how lucky I feel to have you in my life. You have always been there for me no matter what. Everyday it is you whom I want to come back to, it is you who makes me feel complete and fill my heart will all the wonders and joys of the world. You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and I don't regret telling you how I feel. You're always there to pick me up when I fall and to dry my tears. You're in my thoughts, my dreams, and every breath I take.
I love you Neil, I love you."
Neil stood there speechless. His eyes were moist. Avni's words were again and again echoing in his ears. He felt like his life was complete now.
He turned towards Avni, who was having a wide smile on her face on pouring her heart to Neil. Neil couldn't control his tears and smile.
Avni ran and hugged Neil. Neil hugged her very tightly, not wanting her to leave him ever.
" I Love You too Avni. Juhi ke jaane ke baad I never thought I would be able to love someone whole heartedly, but you changed my perception."
Neil and Avni were lost in each other's arms. Neil felt little pain but he didn't move an inch. Avni realized he was in pain so she moved away-
" Neil its too late. You are not fine now, you should take rest please."
Neil agreed and was about to sleep on the couch-
" Ruko, where are you going? You are injured, I won't let you sleep there. You come and sleep on the bed."
" And what about you?"
" We can share the bed, don't worry."
Neil knew Avni was still not comfortable on sharing the bed with him. So he moved on to the corner of the bed, leaving enough space between them-
" Jab tak tum mere saath comfortable nahi hogi, I will never force this relationship on you. So just relax and sleep."
Neil kissed Avni's forehead and went to sleep. Neil fell asleep and Avni kept gazing his innocent and charming face for some time.
Avni woke up after 2 hours to check if Neil is having any difficulty. She was surprised to know that Neil has not moved from his position where he was sleeping-
" I am so lucky to have you Neil. May you get all the happiness and love in your life which you truly deserve... And I promise to hold your hand throughout my life."
Avni carassed his hairs for some time and then fell asleep.
In the morning, Avni woke up first. She saw Neil still sleeping in the same position. It was 9 already. She got ready very fast and came to wake up Neil. She called out his name a few times. Neil had woken up but was acting as if he was sleeping by closing his eyes. He wanted to test how his wifey would wake him up. Neil was finding it very hard to control his smile, seeing his wifey getting irritated. When Avni turned towards the mirror, Neil broke into laughter without making noise. Avni saw him through the mirror.
Avni came near him and put her hair strands in his ears. Neil woke up with a jerk, vibrating his body. Avni broke into laughter and tried to run away as fast as she could...
But Neil pulled her towards himself, covering his face with her hairs. Their eyes locked
" Uthane ke aur bhi tarike hote hai."
" But those was waste for you. I know you were acting, don't try to act innocent."
Neil stood up
" I didn't know you wake up someone like this."
" Go and get ready now. Bebe is calling us."
" Accha sunno na."
" Sunao na."
" Before going, atleast begin this day with a I Love You, please."
Neil looked towards Avni with a puppy face.
" First confess your love in front of the whole world, if you can do." Avni smirked saying this...
Neil smiled and walked towards Avni. He went close to her and whispered in her ear
"I Love You"
Avni was surprised to see Neil
" I asked you to confess to the whole world."
" You are my world. So I just completed the condition."
Avni was touched by Neil's words.
Just then Bebe shouted
" Avni puttar, Avni kithe hai tu."
Neil's mood got down, as Avni didn't confessed yet.
Avni smiled seeing him.
She kissed Neil on his cheeks-
" I Love You"
And ran away from there as quickly as she could.
Neil was surprised to see this side of Avni. He stood there smiling and blushing. He touched his cheek where Avni had kissed him.
He came down and sat for breakfast. Avni came to serve him food. Neil held her hand below the table, while everyone was busy eating.
" Neil leave my hand, koi dekh lega."
" I promised to never leave your hand na, so I am just fulfilling my promise."
Avni kicked Neil at his foot. Neil screamed and Avni fell on his lap due to the disbalance.
Bebe smiled seeing them-
" Tum dono kahi par bhi shuru ho jate ho."
Avni and Neil got embarassed and quickly composed themselves. Bebe reminded them-
" Voh kal raat..."
Neil quickly interrupted her
" I rested very properly Bebe. You don't worry."
Bebe giggled-
" Accha yeh sab chodo. Tomorrow I am organizing a party for Avni.
Kal sab acche se taiyaar ho jana. Avni, I have called some people with the dresses, you can choose one as per your choice."
Avni nodded and everyone went to work.
In the evening, the shopkeepers came with the dresses. The ladies gathered in the hall. Neil was watching Avni behind the pillar. Avni noticed him and smiled towards him.
Bebe chose a dress for Avni. Avni showed it to Neil but he didn't like it. She showed him another few dresses but Neil liked none.
Finally Avni liked a yellow dress, which Neil also liked a lot. Bebe saw them and said-
" Shopping toh koi aur hi kar raha hai, kyun Avni?"
Avni just smiled and went to her room where Neil was waiting for her
" You will look beautiful in this dress. Aakhir pasand kiski hai." He said knocking her shoulder...
" Don't I look beautiful otherwise too?"
" You are the most beautiful person in this world, as your heart is as selfless as you."
Avni smiled and hugged Neil.
They both went to sleep at their respective positions.
Both were very excited for the next day's party.
