Neil was lost in Avni, who was smiling and waved at her father. Avni felt someone's gaze on her and she looked in his direction and saw him looking at her without blinking his eyes. She saw her father talking to someone and went in his direction. She stood in front of her and still he was lost in her. She pinched him which brought him out of his la la la la land and he groaned in pain and he slightly rubbed there frowned.
"Same pinch."
"What?"
"You are wearing black so as I am."
Neil looked at himself and then at her.
"Yeah. Same pinch to you too."
Avni giggles. She stood beside him and looked at everyone dancing. Neil clears his throat and Avni hearing it looked at him.
"Ask."
Neil looked at her and frowned.
"How do you know that I wanted to ask something?"
"Because before you ask that question 'Can I ask you something' you always clear your throat like umhh umhh(mimicking him)."
Neil looks down and smiles and looks at her.
"Why are you always with me at every function which took place till now? "
"You don't like me accompanying you? Okay then, I'll leave."
Avni was going but he held her elbow and stopped her. She looked at him.
"No No I didn't mean that."
Avni looked at him and then where he held her. He realizes what he did and takes back his hands.
"Sorry!"
Avni smiles.
"You are facing the same thing which I am. So I think we can equally share this thing right. And also it's only you and me who is the least interested in these functions and all."
" Actually I was not going to come today."
"Then how come you are here?"
"You said that you are coming so I came. You can't be left alone right?"
"So you care about me?"
Neil looks at her silently for a few seconds and then starts looking here and there then. Avni suppresses her smile seeing this.
"By the way, you are looking handsome today. This kurta is just made for you. People say that boys look fire in traditional wears, which I believe now."
Avni says this gazing him from top to bottom.
"Okay tell, how I am looking?"
She asked settling her dupatta.
"Nice."
"Just nice? Nothing else? I gave you such a big compliment and here you
(mimicking him) Nice.
Seriously?"
Neil looked down and here and there. Avni looked at him and stayed silent. They heard a announcement.
Announcement: Okay Okay everyone here, now I would welcome the couple of the day Anisha and Nitesh for a beautiful dance. Please give a round of applause for them.
Everyone clapped except for AvNeil. They were just sadly looking at Anisha and Nitesh who were dancing romantically being very close to eachother.
Neil remembered the day he danced with her with same closeness and here Avni also slightly felt bad seeing Nitesh but remembering father's words that she should not cry over a person who doesn't care about her, she wipes her tears before they fall down.
