The night approached them and they wished to fulfill the trip they planned at any cost. They freshened up in their hotel room and started off to enjoy. After all that had happened, they needed a break to inhale the freshness around and exhale out the negativity inside. The car was full of laughters and chatters. They had an awesome car ride given by Neil. They stopped at a roadside to buy water bottles and chips. Neil and Ali got out of the car and stormed into the shop giggling and laughing aloud jokes. Avni mentally smiled at how relaxed and happy all of them were. Her gaze was fixed upon Neil who looked extremely irresistible right then. He had such messy hair, a work of the gushing wind through the car's windows. The top three buttons of his blue shirt was unbuttoned exposing his well toned bare chest. He rolled up his sleeves from time to time which Avni thought was the most stylish act of him. He looked beyond dashing when he played around with his shirt. Avni gently shook her head blushing at her own thoughts when she saw Neil approaching her with two bottles of water and a packet of cookies. She noticed a naughty smirk on his face. Neil got into the driver seat and looked at Avni stealthily.

Neil: Avni..

Avni: hmm..?

Neil: I didn't know I am so handsome that you couldn't take your eyes off for even a second.

Avni's cheeks turned red and looked here and there to see whether Ali and Juhi heard what he just said. She was relieved to see that they were too much busy and involved in their own talks. She punched hard on Neil's shoulders which made him giggle.

Avni: Neil.. Shut up!

Neil: Why? You have full right on me. By the way what were you looking at?

Avni: Nothing.

Neil: Oh really?

Avni: Neil. Can we just move on?

Neil chuckled and nodded in a yes.
Meanwhile, Ali had handed over a packet of chips to Juhi and had slided to his seat next to her. They shared the chips and were growing much comfortable with each other. Neil noticed the old chirpy Juhi returning in Ali's company. He smiled at his own thoughts and drove the car.

They soon climbed over hairpins and haulted on a hilltop. All four of them inhaled the fresh breeze into their souls with their hands spread. Neil hugged Avni from behind and rested his chin on her shoulders were Ali and Juhi enjoyed the entire atmosphere. They went for a stroll laughing and pushing each other down the valley.

Neil: Avni. Shall I ask you something?

Avni: Yes?

Neil: Why were you staring at me?

This time Avni was not saved since Ali and Juhi heard them clearly and laughed out aloud.

Ali: Hahahaha! Juhi! Its better that we walk a bit fast. Otherwise na, kuch censor karna padega!

Avni: ALIII!!!

Juhi laughed aloud covering her face with her hands and moved ahead with Ali. Avni stood dumbstruck and chased a laughing Neil circling on the road. Finally, he pulled her closer and asked.

Neil: Kyun stare kar rahi thi?

Avni: Can't I stare my husband?

Neil: Yes you can. Okay tell me. What in me tempts you the most?

Avni: Chheeee! Cheapo😂... what sort of a question is that?

Neil: Batao warna aur cheapness dikhana aaata hai mujhe.

Saying this, he pinned her to a light pole on the roadside. Avni didn't shiver or tremble in his touch since she was exactly too tempted and lost in him. Neil raised his eyebrows playfully asking her to say it.

Avni: Do you know you have a small black mole on your neck?

Neil: Do I? I haven't noticed. Kahan?

Avni touched his cute little mole with the tip of her finger. Neil looked at her surprised at her antics.

Avni: Yahan.. and..

Neil: And?

Avni: And you look sexy in it.. very tempting!

Neil: Haaww!!😱 and you call me a cheapo😂!!?

Avni pushed him away from her and ran to Ali laughing all the way. Neil chased her shouting her to stop. Avni took hold of Ali's hands to stop and panted with uncontrollable laughter.
Neil joined them soon.

Juhi: Got your answer?

Neil: Haan haan. Chalo. I will tell you.

Avni: CHUP!

And all of them had a loud laughter holding on their stomachs. They had black coffee with snacks from a nearby tea stall. They strolled back to where they parked the car and drove back stopping here and there to enjoy the evening. They were heading towards their busy life again which presented them with new challenges, difficulties and joyful moments.
