Yesterday was fantastic.

Firstly I got to know something very special about my crushu Mr. Khanna and secondly he is so caring.

Yeah I got irritated a bit on him.

Okay, I was extremely irritated by his behaviour last night but later I thought, it was cute.
He has actually thought that thing for me. It was an appreciating gesture of him I must say, not to leave a girl late night all alone travel by the cab.
Who do this things now days for a simple co-workers!! People are more into throwing tantrums instead, especially in our field.
But my Neilu is different from everyone. He is really a special soul. That day he helped Pooja on the way reaching here.
"You should proud of him AVI..he left his guests behind only to get you a safe drop... you should give him a thank you gift.." my conscience squealed.

"Gift... god did he like my b'day gift" I bit my nails thinking he wouldn't throw it I pray.

I slouched on the chair beside Raj Sir.

It had been very hectic day Today.
As soon as he reached in the set just greeting me a hi Neil Sir got busy reading the scripts. Today he had back to back scenes including those long dialogues one.
So we didn't get time to see each other, not even during the break hours. Being exhausted he got into his vanity until he was called for his scenes next.

He left an hour before. Today he didn't asked me for the drop. May be Raj Sir has told him that we have some more work which we had to finish by today atleast half of it, before we leave for home.

Even he didn't say me good bye while I wasn't much farther than him involved talking to Dd.
He bid Dd whilst I was back  facing him but before I could whirl my face to wave at him, I saw his retreating back.

He must be really very tired.

Definitely.

Anyways Raj sir said me to give a drive on the way to a nearby Mall. I have to buy a nice watch for Rehaan. Then I'll book a cab and will take my route to home.
Diya promised to join us before the dinner and Rehaan will reach around 9.
Before them I have to make sure I would reach home.

Neil

The day was exhausting. After freshen up and changing into something comfortable I plopped on a couch facing the balcony. I closed my eyes throwing the back of my head, leaned it on the headrest. I took a deep breath. Tiredness released my body getting a long shower.
Mom had called me to inform during my lunch break that she has reached all safely and having her lunch relaxing at home. And before she hung up the call she informed there is some more raw chicken she has placed inside the freezer last night, I have to cook it soon before it lose its freshness. And Mom ended the call reminding me to unwrap my b'day gifts.

How many times I have told everyone not to bring gifts along with everytime they got invitations for my day. My store room has been already packed up with huge amount of my fans' gifts.
I don't need more and not only that I'm not a big fan of receiving gifts .
It's weird I know.

I feel shy whenever people send me any stuffs as gifts. I know it's a gesture of showing their love through sending me gifts. I heartily appreciate that and grateful to them as well. But I feel more happy when someone recognise and appreciate my efforts.
People loves me and my work, that's enough for me. Their love and supports are blessing that boosts me up doing my job, more better everyday.

I closed my eyes heaving another sigh. I pulled my back to get up to heat up my food and finished my dinner that has been made by my house keeper Raju around two hours back.

I need a good sleep.

"Gift" I halted.

"Wait..she did gift me something" I walked towards my cupboard where Mom said she kept there all the gifts last night. I bend a bit lower pulled the cupboard door open and looked for the black matte paper wrapped thing I remember she has given me as soon as I led her inside my house yesterday.

I roamed my eyes over all the shelves inside and after searching vigorously through my eyes I finally found that thing I was looking for.
Kneeling on my toes I pulled it out.

Holding it in my hand gently I walked back to the couch and took my seat. As soon as I made myself comfortable on the couch I tore the black wrapping paper around it.

There was a brown carry bag was shown. Throwing the wrapping paper on the centre table I peeked inside the paper bag and pulled the soft thing outside.

It's a matte black slim-fit full sleeve shirt . My favourite.

A warm smile crept on my lips staring at the thing.

"She knows me so well."
I caressed the fabric.

I loved it.

I immediately pulled off my tee and wore it walking inside my bedroom. I halted facing the full length mirror situated next to my wardrobe.

Perfect fit.

How did she know my exact size!!!

First a smirk then it transformed into a grin.

I rubbed the back of my neck gazing at my flushed reflection.

I can't deny, she means a lot to me.
Yeah, a lot.

I shouldn't have ignored her whole day.It was something out of my inner peace, not talking to her a single day.

I will talk to her tomorrow and would thank her for the gift.

"Woooooaaaaaaw this is sexy" Rehaan wore Avni's gifted watch on his wrist and winked at her.

"You really like it" Avni widened her eyes in surprise and smiled broadly sitting beside him on the same couch facing him. Her one leg hung outside and another one folded supporting her upper body.

"Yup and your travel sling was fab" he showed thumbs up to Diya appreciating the fast track travel sling she has gifted him.

"You guys no need to be so formal you know giving me gifts and all... yesterday's surprise was the best one..btw.." he gave a tight smile looking at both of them appreciating.

"It's okay don't be so emotional you would also get the opportunity to please us in our days" Avni grimaced in return and winked him back.

Diya rolled her eyes and stood up..

"Guys let's have the dinner I'm hungry" Diya pushed her body towards the dinning hall.

"Yup let's go" putting the sling on the centre table Rehaan straighten his back.
Nodding her head Avni sprang her back and immediately got up . She clasped her palms on his both shoulders from behind and pushed him moving forward.

"Hey..." Rehaan chuckled taking slouched steps forward.

"When you will get married dumbo...I want to play with your kids..I have wasted my enough valuable time with you..now I want some golu molu kido" Avni said pushing him more.

"So that you could make them as dumb as you right" Rehaan replied rolling his eyes sideways not fully looking behind at her.

"Shut up" they stopped reaching to the dinning table. throwing him a fake angry glare she smacked on his head and walked towards the kitchen to bring a big serving spoon.

"Black BMW... Isn't that Neil khanna" Rehaan raised a brow and gaped at Avni calmly taking his seat opposite to Diya.

Diya raised her brows at Rehaan mimicking his action slowing down her work she was doing. That dressing the dinner table.

Avni spin her face back, she gaped straight at Rehaan and creased her forehead questionably.

"How do you know!!" Avni and Diya chorused. They both shared a quick curious eye contact then landed back their gaze at Rehaan.

"He wasn't happy seeing us together... I mean you and me.." Rehaan gestured through his finger between himself and Avni.

Diya and Avni still in a shock.they stood still creasing their eyes more curious.

"He was there on the opposite side of the road parking his car to get the straight view I guess... I saw him cluching his steering wheel being irritated looking at both of us and after few minutes he left" Rehaan took the glass from the table top and pour water into and took a sip smiling sheepishly staring at Avni.

"Being a guy I can sense it" Rehaan added keeping the glass down and landed his eyes straight at Diya then shifted at Avni. He wiped his lips.

"Exactly see I told you" Avni flinched coming back from her still position when Diya responded pulling her chair to sit on it. She immediately turned her waist back facing them towards the kitchen sink she mumbled "there is nothing like that" she sighed checking her flushed smile. she took the spoon out from the kitchen cabinet and stepped towards the dinner table and took her seat beside Rehaan. Avoiding their gaze on her she started serving the food on the plates and another into the bowls seperately.

"Dumboo" Diya smiled saying in a teasing tone rolling her eyes first at Avni then shifted at Rehaan.

Rehaan smile slightly and Avni sighed flipping her eyeslids nervously.

*****

Avni was eager to know more about the scene but she thought not to drag the topic further or they would get another opportunity to tease her throughout the whole dinner or no idea how long.

"Was that guy in the car really Neil Sir, whom Rohan saw yesterday night outside his building gate.

Did Rehaan surely see him!!

There are so many BMWs in Mumbai may be he saw someone else..

But the fact is I didn't tell him that Neil sir had come to drop me home...then it prove that he saw him right!!

May be they are exaggerating.. actually there is nothing as such to think so much..

"May be Neil sir just came to see me whether I have reached the exact place or not..after all it was his responsibility to leave me safe." She tried to put some sense to her confusion.

"But why 'Avni' all the time..why he is so concerned about you.."
"He is a star the Neil Khanna. Your Boss to some extent, not your friend or relative. " Her conscience pointed out the differences harshly.

" I should stop it right here. Today Rehaan said, tomorrow someone else shall cook up something unpleasant. Yeah this rumour wouldn't be less drastically unpleasant for his career if it would spread somehow.
Before the things get complicated, I need to stop this and him.
It's better I keep distance from all these stuffs.

He is my crush.

Crush turns into love in novels not in real world. I don't want to be the black spot of his rising career encouraging some of these silly stunts" Avni sighed putting off the night lamp from her bedside table.

Diya

I'm sure Rehaan saw the exact thing he has explained. If it was surely him then we should find out what khichdi going on between them.
I gestured Rehaan stopping him to continue this convo, not to proceed further when Avni was busy avoiding to pull her gaze away from us. Rehaan blinked his eyes in understanding and turned his convo regarding the topic our family.

"Thoda tadapne do Jaanu Ko ki exactly what's going on in her life" Diya smirked evilly..
May be she is dying mentally to know the exact fiasco but hesitating to ask Rehaan to carry on.
After all Neil khanna is Avni Mehta's only crush. Why wouldn't she be excited knowing about her crush is stalking her.

But right now I can't let her to jump in any conclusion being over confused because since I know her she will either destroy it totally or handle the whole situation being over emotional.
I'll ask Rehaan the whole story later what exactly he saw. I need some clarity about this Neil khanna.He is really making things very interesting.

Seems he is highly interested on my jaanu.

Let's take baby steps Mr. Khanna aka Arjun. I smirked being happy for my Avi.

I sighed pulling the duvet over me and closed my eyes.
