avneil-thru all odds

chapter 74

She wanted to retaliate but what can she do when he was so happy about it. All she could do is make him happy for the last few moments before she leaves.

There the update was rolled out for everyone going to Africa on her WhatsApp.

He saw that her phone buzzed, thinking it to be her friends he had a smile forgetting the change around her.

It was the change of the schedule for them to depart and it was exactly 24 hours from the message time.

She was thinking that she is taking the right step but the last few interactions made her think otherwise. This uncertainty and unclear thoughts are making her suffocated. Assuring herself that what she is doing is correct, she kept her composure from wavering.

Once she was done , she left. There he was smiling like a love sick boy. While returning he met with Ali.

Ali- aaye haaye. Munde nu kis gaal di khushi hai?

Neil-( looked at him and royally chose to ignore him)

Ali was quick to catch up with him.

Ali- waise tum dono na bade hi romantic nikle. Nhi yaani mujhe itna time hua Riya ke saath lekin itni himat to meri bhi nhi ki mein Riya ke saath date pe apne hi hospital mein baithu. Mera to phir bhi samjh sakte hai lekin meri jaan tu to itne logo ka sapna hai. Tujhe nhi lagta ab tak avni Zinda bhi nhi bacchi hogi?

Neil stops and looks at him- kyu? Isme usne kya kiya hai?

Ali- Dekh ladkiyan na do type ki hoti hai. Ek Avni types- jisko tubelight bol sakte hai jise sab kuch samjhana padta hai. Dusri Dia types- Jo zarurat se jyaada hi samjh jaati hai. Pehli ko to tu sambhal sakta hai lekin dusre ka problem hi ye hai ki you never know them. They will be unpredictable.

Neil-(sighs) matlab kya hua ye sab ka?

Ali-(hits on his head) kaise gadha hai be tu? ( Takes him to his office and close the door) Last time dia ne Avni ke patient ke saath game khela? Kyu? Because usko laga you are favouring her. Ab ye soch tabhi to sirf ek dia thi lekin ab to itne openly ladkiyan baate karengi, pareshaan karegi usko. Itna extreme nhi honge lekin phir bhi impact to karta hi hai. With Avni and her personality mujhe to lagta hai hoga to bhi nhi batayegi vo. So you have to be careful. I don't want to hold you back but just to make you aware of how things are.

Neil-(sighs) is it really complicated? Can't it be simple for once. Now what should I do?

Ali-( shrugs his shoulder) what can you do in this? Just relax and be more observant of things in future.

Neil- ( mimics him) relax... When you had no solution why tell me the problem?

Ali- (lifts his shoulders and eyebrows) just thought to caution you. Love is like this only, no one can help you until you yourself try to help yourself.

With that he left and Neil went back to his work. This did made him think but at the same time he thought things can't be that complicated.

Avni went back to her patients one more time and finally left as she had to even meet Neela before leaving.

There Karan who knew about her departure was all set to keep his slot empty as he wanted to drop her and so he swapped his shift.

While leaving the hospital he met Neil in the lift. In order to avoid Avni's topic he just greeted him and stood there silently.

Neil-(looks at him a bit confused) Hey! Is anything wrong?

Karan-(nods his head in no while jerking his shoulders) Nothing you say how's things?
