Riya:chachi wait. Neil jiju will give avni sweets. Right jiju??

Avneil blushed on hearing this.after a set of teasing neil and avni finally made each other eat the sweets.

Bebe:i think we should let avni and neil spend  some time alone.

Avni slightly nodded her head without raising her head.

Avni:where do you want to go garden or my room??

Neil:lets go to garden.

Cool breeze was continuosly blowing.the atmosphere was very refreshing.avni was standing opposite neil fidgetting with her dress and eyes bowed low.

Neil:u can sit avni..

Avni:no im fine

Neil:avni...plzz sit im ur gonna be fiance not your teacher.

Avni smiled at this and sat down opposite to him.
