Avni:come in neil.there is the book shelf(pointing towards the shelf).i will come in some time.

Neil:yeah sure.

Avni went to freshenup and neil choose this time to examine her room bcz last time he couldn’t do it properly.the room was quite large but still cozy.not o tint of pink color in her room.his eyes wanderedover the shelf to find some novels to be precise some romantic novels but alas.he sat on one side of the bed and took a book placed on the bed side table.he thought atleast that would be romantic one but his bad luck it was her academic text.he placed it back and lied down on the bed on siiting position.he felt it very intimate.it smells like her…avni..he cosed his eyes inhaling her fragrance.a small smile appeared on his lips unknowingly.after ten minutes or so avni came out fully dressed up to see nel lying on her bed that too on her place.this evoked some unknown feelings in her.she too smiled a bit at the view infront of her.she came infront of her mirror and this time neil opened his eyes. Neil:u ready ??then lets move.. Avni:yeah almost.just one minute Neil:(in his mind)ooh she may be like other girls fond of make up.so it will take time. He sat back.avni just combed her hair and made a neet baid of her hair,put her wrist watch ,bindi on her forehead.
