Avneil Short Stories Collection

Strangers To Lovers #2

Hi friends,

Hope you all are fine.

Friends, I know the introduction of this story has become a little confusing. I gave it so that it would be easy for you all to understand the characters as some of them are not from the serial. I tried to make the it as simple as possible.

*****

Avni's family - Ayesha and Ashish (Parents).

Neil's family - Shweta and Prakash (Parents), Aditya and Ajay (Brothers), Radhika and Tina (Sister in law).

*****

Avni married Neil to save her family's honor. Neil and other family members are grateful to her.

Avni's face was still under the viel while Neil's face was hidden behind the sehera. Ajay and Tina came forward.

Tina goes to Avni : Bhabhi now now its time to see bhaiya's face.

Ajay : Wait first bhai will show his face after that only bhabhi will show her face to bhai.

Ajay comes to Neil and helps him in removing the sehera.

Tina : now bhabhi your turn..

Tina helps Avni in removing her veil.

Ajay whispers in Neil's ears : don't faint.

Neil nods not believing his brother's words. Even now he can joke.

AvNeil looked at each other for the first time. Both have an eye lock and are lost in one another. Coming back to there senses after a moment, they look down.

Their parents and other family members came to them.

Ayesha and Ashish : thank you beta. You saved your family's honor.

Shweta : thank you Avni you really did a lot for us today.

Deepak and Kaveri also came forward and thanked Avni.

Avni didn't say anything. She was too shocked. Ladies took Avni in her room to prepare her for her bidai.

They all knew she wouldn't be happy with this marriage. This marriage was just a compromise for her. She was hell scared. She never in her worst dreams thought that she will return India just to get married to her sister's fiance. She took decision in flow of emotions as she couldn't see her parents begging in front of her. But now she just doesn't know what to do with her life. She didn't know anything about Neil. Last time she saw Neil was 20 years back, when she was six years old. He is a complete stranger to her and she has to spend her entire life with him and his family. She has to share her entire life with him, sleep beside him, cook for him, share her things with him, take care of him and his family everyday. What if he is not worth it? What if he doesn't want her?

Neil condition was also same. He also doesn't know anything about Avni. He was confused if he would be able to keep Avni happy.

His brother Ajay comes to him to comfort him.

Ajay : don't worry Neil. I know it would feel impossible right now but with time everything would fall on its place.

Neil : I hope so Ajay but still I don't think I would fall in love with her ever. I don't even know her.

Ajay : Do you love Taani?

Neil : No, I never loved Taani but at least I knew her. She was my friend and I trusted her.

Ajay : But she broke your trust. Bhai tell me one thing did you knew even for 1% that she will run away from her marriage disgracing her own parents.
