Avneil ff: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Chapter 7

"Main ajnabee logo ko apna naam nai bataati "

"How should I make her open up to me? Here she's not even ready to tell her name. I'll have to think something" Neil thought.

"Ok...I understand...but we can start afresh right? Let's forget whatever happened. So...hey...I'm DD" Neil said, putting his hand forward for a handshake. He thought to use a fake name so that she would not find any information about him. He had a doubt on her and if she really was a criminal, it was possible that she would have heard his name. So...he preferred the name DD, as it was the only name that crossed his mind at that moment.

" Two minutes ago, we were fighting like cats and dogs....And now you suddenly have a change of mind and want to start afresh? That isn't fishy right? " Avni asked sarcastically. "And DD?? Is it really your name?"

" There's nothing fishy in this. I just wanted to be friends with  you as we both have saved or helped each other. And yes....my name is DD....D-Dhakal Dayal"

Avni laughed a little, hearing his name. Seeing this, Neil felt a little embarrassed and he started rubbing his neck.

"Vaise maan na padega.... tumhaare mom dad toh antaryaami hoge (I must say your parents are omniscient people)"

Neil scrunched his nose in confusion. "Huh??"

"Unhe pehle se pata tha...ki tum bade hoke Kya kaam karoge....Dusro ke kaamo mein dhakal dena! Sahi naam chuna hai unhone.(They knew what you will be doing after growing up....poke your nose in people's work. They chose the right name for you)" she laughed.

" Hahaha...very funny" he rolled his eyes. "Btw ...you still haven't introduced your self to me"

"I don't feel the need to do that. It's not like we are going to meet again. I'll drop you in the city and then we both part ways. "

"She's way too stubborn and won't open her mouth easily" he thought. " Why don't you trust me? I'm the same person who saved your life. You didn't even thank me but I'm still okay with that. And to top that, your behaviour too is suspicious."

"What do you mean by suspicious? " she asked.

"Your behaviour.....First of all, being present in this area where hardly a person can be seen. Then you were about to jump off the bridge. You're saying you weren't committing suicide, then why were you here in the first place?"

"Is this some sort of interrogation? I'm giving you a ride to the city and instead of being grateful, you are doubting my presence. You can think whatever the hell you want to, I am not answerable to you. And you tell me....what were you doing in that secluded area?"

" Umm ....I had some work..." he stammered.

"Really? Before pointing finger at others first look for yourself " she said angrily. Then, she suddenly stopped the car. Neil was confused.
" Get out.....now!! " she said in an angry tone.

Neil looked around the surroundings. "But we haven't reached yet!" he said.

"Find your own ride, I don't care."

"Ohh God! Now she's leaving me here in the middle of nowhere. Why did I choose to act upon my stupid plan?! And to top that, i didn't get any useful info too. Total waste of time with this rude girl. But I should convince her to atleast drop me near the town " he thought.

"Listen, there's no one around to help me, I promise I won't bother you further" he said.

"Ye mujhse jhagda karne se pehle sochna chahiye tha. Now leave!( you should have thought about this before arguing with me. Now leave)"
