Avni: yeah im Hungary.

they all went to eat and after chit chatting for a bit they headed off to sleep

In the morning avni went to riya  room and sat on the bed next to her she smiled and caressed her hair

Riya moved and placed her head on avni lap making her smile more

Avni: ri

No response

Avni: riyu

Still no response

Avni : ri she called out again  shaking her slightly

Riya : hmmm this time in a sleeping tone and making herself more comfortable on avni's  lap

Avni: happy birthday my baby sister she said whispering in her ears

Riya smiled and opened her eyes slowly... she got up and hugged avni

Riya : thank u didu just like always, u wished me first..avni smiled

Abhi: happy birthday my sweet irritating doll he said hugging riya

Riya gave him an annoying look but then hugged him after

Riya: thank u my lovely annoying bhai

soon the elders wished riya and all got ready for the pooja as whenever its some family member birthday they always do a pooja first and then give poor people food who sit on the temple stairs

Avni and riya were wearing anarkali... they all got out of the car and were walking up the stairs when avni received a call

Avni: erm papa I will just attend this call quickly and come soon

Ashish : k beta  

Meanwhile the metha family were walking inside the temple where they met prakash  and the rest of the family

Prakash : arien all of u here what a pleasant surprise

Ashish : haan its riya's birthday so we came here ..

The rest wished her...riya took the blessing of the elders and moved towards mitali, neil and ali

Mitali: happy birthday ri she said hugging her
Roya : thank u she said hugging her back

Neil : happy birthday riya

Riya : thank u neil bhai

Ali: happy birthday riya

Riya :  thanks ali... arien wait abhi bhai come her

Abhi excused himself from the elders and moved towards where riya was standing

Abhi: haan ri

Riya: abhi bhai this is  neil  bhai and ali.. all the guys smiled at each other and shook hands

Abhi: nice meeting u

Neil: same here

Ali : riya where is ur elder sister

Riya: she is coming  she received a call so just attending that

Avni was walking up the stairs and all of a sudden she was feeling uncomfortable her six sense was telling her to go away  but she ignored it and walked up concentrating on her phone and walked inside the temple

Mitali: look here is avni...

Neil  stiffened at that name while mitali went forward to hug her friend who was lost in her own world

Abhi, ali, neil and riya turned around

Neil  was shocked for a second but after a while a cold look came on to his face

Avni  who was busy texting waa hugged all of a sudden by someone stopping her from walking ...she came out of the hug and saw it was mitali

Mitali : avni  come I want u to meet my brothers

Avni  nodded and walked with mitali  with a smile but when she looked ahead the smile was slowly disappearing from her face and a shock look appeared ...  all she whispered was neil

Mitali bought her near to neil and ali,,, she tried to compose herself as she saw others around them

Mitali: avni  meet my brothers  Neil  bhai and ali

Ali: hey he  said with a smile shaking her hands

Avni: hey...and gave a small smile

Neil : hello Miss avni he said in a cold tone forwarding his hand

Avni: hi she said bringing her hands forward to shake and she could feel his tight grip but she didn't dare to look at him and was avoiding his gaze... here she should be mad at him but instead of that she was feeling uneasy

Riya , mitali, ali and abhi didn't miss the cold tone and the way he addressed her.

Dayawanti: riya beta come its nearly time for the pooja come and give the pooja tray to pandit ji

Riya: jee dadi ...

Avni walked of followed by the rest

Riya was standing at the front while the rest were standing behind and praying all finished their prayer and soon took Prasad

Avni didn't turn back as she knew neil was standing behind along with abhi and ali and she could still feel his cold gaze she felt like running away and thanks to her all left once they were near their car

Dayawanti: acha harleen  we will see u all at the party tonight

Avni was about to sit in the car but stopped when she heard what her dadi said

Riya: didu what happened come on sit inside

Avni came out of her thought and sat in the car

Precrap: party time, avneil  meeting again.

So another story yup.. again I had written this 7 years back like forever and always and thought let's not waste my idea and invest it on avneil

What do u think.. y did neil is Neil cold to avni?.. y does avni feel she should be mad but she is feeling uneasy.

Will be waiting for comments and votes 

Lots of love  Somali
