"So Ms. Avni my name is Neil I'm an Actor, 29 Years old I have been working in the Film Industry since I was 16, I did my MBA don't worry it's not like I'm a anpar gawar like most of other" he winked at her making her laugh at his joke. "Coming to my personal life I guess you already met my mom and Bebe and dad is a writer. That's it" All this while Avni was listening to him carefully giving her full attention before she could start waiter placed their order and left them.
"Thank you. Well, main Avni hon I'm 26 years old I'm a Polit. I was 6 when we moved here I did my study everything else here I have one brother Aman naam hain oss ka aur maa aur papa and of course my bestfriend sara that's it" Neil took a sip of his coffee and look at her.
" If you don't mind may I ask some personal questions" Avni nods "what about your relationship have you like i me..." he couldn't speak further finding it embarrassing how to ask but it was also important if they want to carry this further.
" No past no present mere life koi mein nahi, aur Ap," She said smiling and took her shawl out of her bag and cover herself as it was getting cold it was the mid-fall season so at this time of Evening it was clearly windy and cold. "Thand lag rehi hai" Neil asked seeing how she tightly hold the shawl totally avoiding her last sentence. The slow wind was blowing her hairs and behind her, the lights make a perfect background. "Hmm, thori se" she shows her finger both smile. ' Yehhh mana ke celebirty ho yar aur apne Personal life ke bare mein humsha tum log kuch zyada hai tight ho par iss ka matlab yeh nahi ke har kisi ko avoid karo had hota hai yar beizati ke agr shadi nahi karna toh yaha bhoot ke mere samne kyun bethe ho.' Where Avni was busy in a one-sided conversation with her own self Neil was lost in his thought.
" Hello Bhai Saab hai still there" Avni click her finger in front of him in order to bring him back to reality. " Ya sorry, what were you saying" Avni looks at him with disbelief rolling her eyes. "I asked about ur relationship Kyun ke news mein toh bahut kuch ata hai likn ap see suna chati hon main". Taking a long breath Neil looks at her right in her eyes " Ti ek" Avni nods still not convenient with his answer 'Jutha' she said in her mind. " Ti kyun matlab ab nahi hai" Neil smiled slightly "She left". ' Why he is making a sentence of just two words TI EK, SHE LEFT' again her mind poke in between. "Why".
" Shayad humra waqt sahi nahi ta" again she nods 'Bhai pyaar mein thoota hua lag raha hai yeh mujhe. par ek baat hai yeh Bollywood wale na dialog ache marte hai yar deep deep.' Shut up Avni concentrate she slap herself mentally.
"Ap se kuch kaho toh bura nahi mano hoge" she asked composing herself.
Neil shake his head. "Why are you here I mean ap aur yeh sab arrange marraige thora digest karna mere liye mushkil hai. I know your first love doesn't work out and remind incomplete but still" Neil smiled shaking his head he never imagined girls like Avni still exist. Her Innocence simplicity nothing changed in her Bebe was right Neil said mentally. "Kyun because I'm an actor or because of some other reason, aur rahi baat mere pyaar ke toh woh adhoora hoke bhi mukamal hai" he lay on his chair comfortably. Hearing Avni's stupid comments don't interrupt her. She was lost looking at his eyes
"Nahi matlab han bhi I don't know" she looks more cute and adorable when she gets confused Neil thought just like she used to be nothing changed in her. "Relax I know tum kya soch rehe ho but arrange marraige mein kya problem hai I mean tum bhi toh kar rehi hon." Avni didn't know what to say Neil's mystery talks make her totally confused. "So Avni tumhain kuch aur puchna hai mere bare mein ya mere family ke bare mein." Avni shakes her head smiling.
After some min she called the waiter asking for the bill making Neil confused about what happened to her all of sudden. "So Mr. Neil khanna it was nice to meet you ab mujhe ghar jana hoga kafi late hoga aur apko bhi surely aur kafi important kaam hai yun yahan iss betne se" if Neil wasn't a good actor he would definitely think she is mocking him but no she was real herself she real find hard to make a good conversation which ending like this.
"Avni set humre baat abhi shuru bhi nahi hui hai aur tum khatam karne ke baat kar rehi ajeeb ladki ho yaar tum. I know you're the first girl who is not affected by my presence." Avni looks at him with wide eyes gulping down thinking what else he wants now. She nods silently didn't say anything but watch the bridge. Making him a bit jealous that she find the bridge more interesting than him.
"So Avni tell me what is your decision" final Avni looks at him with bored look. "Iss mein decide karne ke liye kuch hai nahi toh decision kise liya jaye" making Neil confused. "Matlab"
She didn't know how to reject him there is even no point in taking further this thing can't he see the big Mountain of differences that they have. Avni closed her eyes and remember her mother's words. 'Remember Avni be yourself and open yourself'.
She looks at him smiling slightly " Ap seemuch share kar sakti hon" Neil nods. And After listening to her Neil knew that final a New Journey as start it from him and This time he has to be more careful.
" So I guess ab humra safar ayi tak ta it was nice to meet Mr. Neil Khanna" Avni stands forward her hand for a handshake. "Toh kya humra safar ayi tak ta" He questioned "Shayad". saying this Avni walk out of the Cafe and start walking slowly remembering their conversation. She stops walking and set on the bench watching the beautiful NY city. On the other hand, Neil was also driving back home recalling her cute Face. " FINALLY WE AGAIN" He smiled saying out loud.
