It was the time of night, the moon was shining in the sky and Neil was sitting on the chair in the studio. A cup of coffee was kept in front of him.

Neil: kon bol raha hai?

Girl: Aap ki Deewani. Aap mere Baji Rao aur main aap ki Mastani.

Neil frowned and he blinked his eyes.

Neil: Avni? Avni, is that you?

The girl laughed.

The moon was shining in the sky, a girl was standing in the garden and she was wearing a white kurta. She was standing facing the other side. Her face shown and it was none other than Avni. Avni was laughing.

Avni: Kya, Neil, tum ne mujhe nahi pehchana.

Neil was sitting in the studio and he made a face then he smiled.

Neil: tum ne awaz hi change ki hoi hai.

Neil: Tum ne awaz kaise chenage ki?

Avni: Jis main sirf pyaar hi pyaar hai. Koi mail nahi, koi lalach nahi, kuch nahi. Bilkul saaf dil hai is ka.

Neil smiled.

Avni: Kabhi to bari, bari mushkilun se huns kar lar jata hai to kabhi ek choti si baat ko dil per le kar beth jata hai. Mujhe kehta hai tum bohat ghusse wali ho jab ke ghussa to janab ki naak per betha rehta hai.

Neil was smiling.

Avni: lekin jitni jaldi ghussa aata hai utna hi jadli utar bhi jata hai. Yahan Neil ko ghussa aya aur maine kaha ouch bus phir Neil dora, dora ayege.

Neil lowered his head and pursed his lips then he raised his eyes.

Avni: Last time, jab inho ne show kiya tha tab main in se naraz thi.

Neil was surprised and he blinked his eyes.

Avni: Neil ne bohat kuch kaha khud ko lekin sach to yeh hai ke Neil ki koi ghalti nahi thi.

Neil was listening to Avni.

Avni: woh to meri safety chahta tha. Us ne jo kuch kaha meri bhalai ke liye kaha. Please aap sab usay ghalat mat samajhiye ga.
