Neil felt as if he hardly slept that night. All he remembered was that he woke up as soon as he hit the bed. It was Neela Ma who woke him up though, around 7 in the morning. He couldn't sleep properly at night, just like all those nights in the previous few days.
"Hon would you accompany us to the church?" Neela asked sweetly after he had woken up. Neil remembered the talks they had the previous night and nodded, not feeling sleepy anymore.
"Sure mom." Neil replied getting up. Neela smiled and opened the curtains, letting the sunlight in. Neil felt so warm seeing the light come in and jumped out of his bed to go out in the balcony and enjoy it.
"Nice day right?" Neela smiled at him. Neil chuckled in response and saw that Ali was down on the road, playing with the snow all by himself before it melted away. "He's such a kid." Neil laughed seeing him making snowballs.
His smile widened as he saw Avni come out and joining him, aiding him to make more snowballs. "Tisca and DD don't want to go. Take a bath quickly and come, we'll go." Neela instructed and Neil followed her quickly.

With a smile plastered on his face, Neil went to join Ali and Avni when he was greeted with a snowball on his face, yet again.
"Nice one Chamko." Ali spoke and laughed, meaning Avni had hit him. "Nettling the wrong person, sweetheart." Neil told Avni and hastily made a ball and aimed it at her.
Avni succeeded in dodging Neil's shot while Neil gaped at her. She was rather quick in running, dodging and other stuff. Neil realized that she could do it because of her petite figure.
Neil surrendered quickly, seeing that there was no point in throwing snowballs at her, instead, allowed himself to be her target, to just enjoy her sweet giggles after each shot.
"Avni stop bullying Neil!" Neela Ma came outside to call them for breakfast but was horrified to see Neil being hit repeatedly by the snowballs.
"I'm not bullying him. How can I even bully someone as big as him?" Avni huffed at the interruption and stormed inside the home, arms crossed."I hope you don't mind Neil." Neela spoke to him apologetically. Neil shook his head and went with Ali, inside the home. They hurriedly ate the breakfast, strapped on their boots and started to walk towards the church.
Avni was walking with Ali, ahead of Neela and Neil. They were chatting and laughing as they walked. Neil smiled seeing her laugh. He was just disappointed with the fact that she wasn't laughing because of him.
Suddenly, before Neil could even react, a large dog came and pounced on Avni. "Hey Max! Get off me!" Avni tried to push the dog away. Neil sighed in relief seeing that the dog wasn't harmful and was instead licking Avni in delight. The dog's owner came and put Max away from her. She sat on the snow, patting its head and smiled seeing him.
