AVNEIL: Love-Hate-Love Story

48. Promises

"Neil is that a mouth or something? We are struck. Oh my god!" Avni yelled banging the door hardly.

"Do you think my tongue is effective?" Neil asked still in shock.

"Neil shut up it's not a time for jokes. We are seriously struck alone in this whole campus. We need to get out or else everyone will get worried about us." Avni said hitting the door again.

"It's of no use Avni. Workers leave at six o'clock and now it's past six. I think everyone left the campus." Neil said from behind sighing.

"Then what should we do?" Avni questioned looking at him.

"I've a phone. I will call Rohan." Neil smirked as he saw Avni's red angry face.

"You... You...can't you tell earlier that you have a phone? You made me so worried." Avni hit Neil's shoulder, while Neil laughed taking mobile out of his jeans pocket.

"Oh sh*t!" Neil said angrily as he tapped phone harder in his hand.

"What happened?"

"Phone is dead Avni!" Neil sighed as he put his mobile back into the pocket. He rubbed his temple frustratingly as he starred at worried Avni.

"So what we do now?" Avni whispered lowly.

"Your phone?"

"I left it in the classroom!" Avni said running her hands into her hair.

"I think we have to stay here until someone come and rescue us." Neil said.

"We aren't dying Neil." Avni chuckled.

"Eventually We will. Do you know how cold weather gets at night? We will freeze here if necessary precautions are not taken." Neil mumbled as he observed the whole room. He then walked to the secluded corner and started wiping the dust off the ground with the broomstick which luckily happened to be there.

"Neil what are you doing?" Avni frowned.

"Setting our bed for tonight." Neil said breathless as he cleaned.

"But why? Rohan or Pari they will find us soon. It's unnecessary." Avni huffed crossing her arms to the chest.

"Do you really think they will find us? Avni be smart! First; for them it will take at least two hours to find that we are gone. Second; they don't know where we are even though they can see my bike and our bags in class room they still need to figure out where we went. So after wasting lots of time they will eventually use their brains and start searching each and every room in this campus, remember they had to open each classroom lock. By the time they get here it would be six o'clock in morning so we better clean and relax." Neil panted at last.

"Wow!" Avni said astonished. "You have calculated everything in mind? Wow."

"Yup. Now help me to clean so that we can rest."

"Orff! Done." Avni said breathless as she slid into the clean ground. Drops of sweat trickled down her face as she breathed down calm.

"Yea, done!" Neil, who has same condition as Avni said out of breath.

"Water! I need water Neil." Avni panted as she looked at Neil with a hopeful eyes.

"I'm Sorry topper, you have to wait until next morning." Neil whispered sadly.

"Don't apologise Neil. It's my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you into this mess."

Neil starred at Avni for few seconds before he took his handkerchief off his pocket.

"It's neither my fault nor yours. It's physics sir's fault. He didn't even look after us disappearing. Don't blame yourself." Neil said softly wiping the sweat off Avni's face and neck.
