Neil came back home to see the lights off

Neil:it's only 7pm y is the lights off at this time

He walked in and turned on the lights

"SURPRISE" He heard everyone shout and looked ahead to see his family along with the metha family and all his friends.

Neil:all of you here? He asked confusingly not noticing the decoration and the big banner which had 'happy birthday' written.

Ali: dude it's your bday please don't say u forgot he said Ponting at the banner which Neil just noticed

Shweta: dekha neela I told u he would forget... neela laughed a bit shaking her head

Avni: of course he will forget aunty after all he is a year older now. Neil juat rolled his eyes at her.

Vidyut: happy bday bro he said moving forward to hug him followed by the others while Neil said thanks to all of them with a small fake smile

Avni walked to him last

Avni: happy bday bestie She said moving to hug him and felt Neil stiffen while he didn't hug her back but when she moved her face backs he saw his angry face

Avni: I'll give u your gift later she said breaking the hug ignoring the look he was giving her.

All celebrated his bday and soon the cake was cut (detailed version of the bday will be posted in the actual chap)

**************************************

Later on at night avni knocked and then entered into Neil room to give him his bday gift

Neil: I didn't say come in he said closing the case file he was reading

Avni: doesn't matter as u was going to say it right... anyway here is your gift she said handing it him

Neil looked at the gift then at her

Neil: I don't want it now please leave from here I'm busy

Avni: oh come on Neil at least open it. After All only I know how long it took me to decide on what to gift u and after a lot of thinking I came up with tbis unique idea and planned this

Neil: of course u r an expert in getting ideas and planning things right he said sarcastically. Avni smile dropped but she ignored it

Avni: please Neil at least open it and see it for once.

Neil: I said no now leave

Avni: until u don't open this gift I won't go

Neil: I said no now leave

Avni: please she said ignoring him

Neil shook his head and took the gift and unwrapped it to see a collage of him and avni where each pics were taken during different phase of their life

Avni: like it? she asked praying that the gift would have made him melt toward her

Neil laughed with sarcasm and threw the collage on the bed

Neil: u think by doing all this everything will be ok ... thing will be back to normal.

Avni: yes as I know where I went wrong Neil and i actually said sorry na

Neil: u think by saying sorry everything would be ok

Avni: no but u could at least try and understand my point right?

Neil: oh... so let me also say that u can try and understand my point too
right he said getting annoyed now

Avni: u r actually not getting what I'm trying to say

Neil: I am exactly getting what u r saying

Avni: no u r not... she closed her eyes to calm herself ... look Neil whatever happened few years ago has happened I know u were not happy with whatever decision I took... but see i did it for us only.

Neil:really u did it for us? .... U never cared for any of us avni u just thought about yourself... we all told u we r there for u but no u just did what u feel like... u never ever thought how your decision would have an impact on others... even though u went there we waited thinking u will call after some time but no u didn't even do that... u just stopped...Now after 3 years u say sorry and think by saying sorry things will be back to normal but no it won't avni. U always want to be the one to take a decision and explain others to follow it. U r a selfish person avni a selfish person who only thinks about yourself he said in a heat of a moment... although he meant half of the things while the other things were said in anger

Avni: I'm not selfish was all she said
While having tears in her eyes and left Neil room while he realised what he said but didn't move from his place

Oh right that's it here is a promo hope u all love it

Comments for others writers r coming turn by turn so please be calm.

Lots of love
