The Island Of Love (on Hold)

chapter 5

It's been two days since avni had booked a solo ticket to Maldives. Avni was happy that she took a decision of taking break from the chaos which Neil put it on her. Avni in these two days was in deep thoughts thinking about how she'd convince her parents. Definitely, they'd never allow her to go alone so avni came up with a plan. She thought to lie to her parents via her friend ria who's going on a vacation with her long time friends. A part of her brain told her to not to lie, but after searching Maldives in google avni was flabbergasted. She was excited and thrilled when she realized there's alot of fun there and she'd miss all that if she loose this opportunity.

Right now avni and ria were in Avni's garden arguing about the same thing .Ria never wanted to lie to Avni's parents but Avni's stubbornness is something no one should mess with Which ria knows.

Ria - Avni please avni, I can't avni. Leave me avni. I'm scared please, my cutie, my sweetie leave your best friend out of this. Please!

Ria pleaded avni who apparently dragged ria inside of her house.

Avni - Ria are you my friend or not? (asks sternly) 

Ria - of course, I'm you're friend, but it doesn't mean I should lie to your parents that you are going on vacation with me ,instead you are leaving alone to Maldives. (Rolls eyes)

Avni - Ria, shut up. It's not that you are going on a war. what I'm saying is just lie. See, you are actually going on a trip with your friends just tell them I'm going with you that's it . Simple.  (Shrugs).

Ria - Avni, are you serious? What if something happens with you ? Then who would be responsible? For God sake You are going alone. ( frowns)

Avni sighs.

Avni - Ria, I want space yar, I want break from everything. That Neil has ruined my life and I want peace for sometime so that I can become mentally stable. Staying with my parents, they will definitely try to convince me to marry Neil which would never happen in this life.

Ria - I don't know why you hate Neil so much. He is such a sweetheart yar. ( says dreamily) 

Avni glares at ria.

Avni -  Sweetheart like hell, he is bitter heart. ( Rolls eyes)  If you love him so much then why don't you marry him ria ? Nice idea right?  I'd be safe. ( chirps) 

Ria slaps Avni's arm playfully.

Ria - Oh, avni.  I wish, I'd marry Neil but you see unfortunately I've a boyfriend Ali and he is best friend of Neil. So not possible babe. (sadly)

Avni rolls her eyes.

Avni - Okay leave all it, come inside of my house and tell my parents about the fake vacation I've been going with you.

Ria - but av--

But avni interrupts her.

Avni - Not a word come. ( seriously)

Ria sighed through nose.

Ria - Okay.

With that avni dragged her in. After few minutes avni and ria were in front of her parents standing like an obedient children.

Asish - Tell me avni what you want to talk about ?  ( asks looking at avni and then ria ).

Avni - Dad, actually.. Ria will tell you. Haina ria ?

Ria - I will kill you.

Ria mouthed smiling tightly.

Ria - Yes uncle. Actually.( Fiddles with fingers)
