Mortal Promises ~ Avneil FF

✥ Chapter 1 ✥

Chapter 1 : When they met!

There was shimmering light in the skies! Moon was shining brightly through the window! She was never ready but today is her first day at Khanna mansion!

She was feeling restless, no it's not because of the new place it's because 12 years ago she used to play on these very grounds with him and now she doesn't even know how to look into his eyes anymore!

She has done nothing wrong but still, she feels very strange!

She is 21 and her name is Avni Gupta! She used to be friends with NK as known as Neil Khanna but that was in the past! But time doesn't end relationships, does it?

She clearly remembers how he used to be, how he smiled at her!

But now his name is creating havoc within her, she is not as strong as she thought herself to be! 

Today she has somehow managed to escape facing him but she can't do that for eternity! Coming here was a mistake after all! She doesn't want to think more but the moonlit is taking her to the flashbacks!

12 years ago!~~~(FlashBack Starts)

"Avni, Avni... wait!" A voice overwhelmed with shortness of breath had just spoken!

"he he , you can't catch me, he he he.." Avni giggled wholeheartedly! Then suddenly she bumped into something strong!

"Yes, but I can catch you!" Said Neil, simply catching her both arms and looked at Alin who was chasing the little Avni of 9 years!

Alin was a little bit afraid at the tone Neil spoke, but then later upon he caught that Neil was just acting! 

Meanwhile, Avni looked up at the boy she collided with. Her big eyes and his dark browns met! She doesn't know why but she feels restless when he is present! This never happens with Alin though! 

But with Neil... Something makes her nervous and she does funny stuff like starts stammering or trip and fall here and there cause she was not paying enough attention!

Hmm, or is it because she accidentally eavesdropped her mother saying to Neil's mother that they are going to create an alliance by making Neil and Avni married in the future if everything is right! And nothing could get weirder when he was also beside her while she was eavesdropping the whole incident! This was yesterday afternoon! Avni aged 9 could not understand the idea of marriage but she certainly felt funny when she looked at the expressions of Neil. He was getting all red! Neil was 13 and not so naive like Avni!

He too didn't comprehend the idea of marriage but certainly comprehended his own mind which has a growing passion for that little chirpy Avni Gupta! She is just too cute to resist! But the next following words from her mouth disappointed him! Severely!

"But I don't wanna get married!" Said Avni looking at Neil with her big orbs!

Neil who did not know how to react just grabbed her tiny shoulders with his hands and grumbled, "Never say that again, you are gonna be my bride. No matter what so put that in your mind!" His voice was sharp and cold! Which made Avni afraid and that's why she is feeling awkward today! 

After that whole incident, this bumping into his arms is the first time they met! 1 whole day! Neil just came back from his school! Today was the last exam of this semester! Finally, he can play with all of the baccha party and Avni!

"Neil, Aap aa gaye! Wow!" Avni spoke and Neil left her hand while reaching out to his pocket and fetched the dairy milk out! Avni screamed with happiness "Mere liye? Thank you sooo much! You are the best!" Making Neil smile instantly with her chirpiness! And they played and played until the summer break was over!
