Next morning everyone was gathered in breakfast room and was relishing their breakfast when teacher got everyone's attention.

Teacher then explained today's plan. Listening to the plan everyone was excited and soon continued with their breakfast.

20 minutes later everyone was done with breakfast and was waiting outside of hotel dot the coach to come.

Neil was talking to boys when he heard  girls giggle. He turns back and saw avni giggling on something along with Riya and juhi. Behind  three of them was suhneria, tara and sitara. Neil smiles seeing her giggle and turns back yo boys..

Neil : guys looks like girls in mood to have fun.

Ali : obviously they would be ready to have fun as we all going to beach. Don't you know how much girls from our groups love beach.

Neil nodded his head agreeing to Ali and turns back as he felt hand on his shoulder. He smiled seeing avni and girls standing behind him.

Neil : hey!

Avni : hi, what are you all talking about?

Ali : we are not talking about anything.. I was telling how much you all like going to beach.

Girls made oh face and looks at the boys.

Juhi : boys have you packed extra clothes with you all?

Vidyut : yes we have . Neil has it in his backpack. What about you guys?

Riya : we are carrying ourselves in our bags.

Boys nodded their head and looks at teacher as the teacher called them.

All of them moves near to teacher and looks at her.

Teacher : everyone settle in coach and select your seat. We are going to leave in half in hour.

All nodded their head and got inside the coach. The sitting pair was like this tara-sitara, Riya- Juhi, vidyut - Ali, avni - Neil and suhneria with someone else...

Neil was sitting beside window side and next to him was Avni. Everyone's else was already sitting on their seats and was waiting for coach to move.

Neil looks at avni who was plugging earphones into her phone. He lightly tapped Avni's shoulder. Avni stops and looks at him..

Avni : what happened?

Neil : wanna continue finishing the series we was watching?

Avni : can we?

Neil nodded his head making her smile.

Avni : sure I would love to watch it.

Neil : I knew it you wanted to finish it off.  Let's watch it on my phone.

Avni : okay!

Avni unplugged earphones from her phone and kept her phone inside bag while Neil took his phone out and plugged his earphones. He took one earphone and passed other to avni.

Before continuing the series he looks at avni ..

Neil : avni.. you're pretty in this white dress.

Avni smiles at him.

Avni : thank you. Even you look good in white.. oh wait.. again we are matching.. what a coincidence?

Neil too notices her dress and nodded his head.

Neil : yeah.. let's continue.

Avni : yes.

Neil tapped his phone screen to play. Both of them got engrossed watching the series. They never realised what's was happening in the coach as they were enjoying the series.

After few minutes later avni took earphone out and looks at Neil who was watching it.

Avni : Neil.. Neil..

Neil immediately looks at her pausing the video.

Neil : what happened?

Avni : can I sit next to window please?

Neil : yeah, sure!

Neil got up from his seat and stood near to Avni's seat. Avni moves to Neil's seat and down. Even Neil sat down and looks at avni who leaned her head against and was looking outside of window. Neil thought you disturb her so he continued watching his series...

The coach stopped 10 minutes before the beach.. everyone got down the coach and waited others to join.

Teacher : we have to walk to beach. Hope that won't be any problem.

Students : no ma'am!

Teacher : that's good! Be together and starts walking.

All nodded their head and starts walking to beach. They reached to beach when teachers give them instructions to everyone. All of them moves to beach..

Neil's friends was together.

(Calangute beach)

Girls went inside sea while boys stood there and took pictures of the view. After taking views even joined girls inside the water.

Neil was smiling and adoring looking at avni who was splashing water on girls.. her smile was something gave him peace. He was busy adoring Avni's smile that he didn't  realise avni was  near him and was ready to splash water on him.

Avni smirking to herself and looks at the girls who have her approve to throw water on him. Avni took water and threw it on  Neil's face breaking his tranche. Neil looks there and there to see others laughing at him when his gaze turns at avni who was silent giggle.

Neil knew where this was going to head. Even he took water in his hand and threw it at avni. Like this AvNeil we're got busy throwing water on each other. Even others joined them..

After hour later everyone comes out of the sea and sat on sand . All looks at each other before getting up with their bags.

Neil : girls we should change then we will have fun.

Girls nodded their head and went to near to changing area while boys stays there and looks around the beach.

Ali : even we should go!

Neil : but who will look after our belongs.

Vidyut : guys look ma'am is there standing there. Let's tell her to keep eye on our belongs.

Neil nodded his head. Then boys walks towards their teacher and requested her to watch their belongs. Teacher gave nod .

Boys thanked her then boys went to change too.

Boys after changing into short and t-shirt moves back to beach and saw girls sitting on blanket and having light snacks.

Boys too walks their way to girls and sat down next to their respective partners.. seeing Neil avni gave him bottle of drink.. Neil taking the bottle thanked her.

Neil took sip of the drink and saw others busy. He leans to Avni's ear and whispers something to her.

Neil : avni.. please come with me..

Avni turns her head around him and saw him sitting close to her.. she gave him nervous smile...

Avni : Neil..

Neil realising himself moves back on his seat and gave her sorry look.

Neil : will come with me?

Avni : why? Why can't we stay here? You didn't eat anything..

Neil : can we go after eating then.

Avni : okay.. here have this first..

Neil took sandwich from her hand and starts eating while gazing at his friends who didn't realise his presence. Making sad face he continued eating...

Neil stood up and dusted his butt. Seeing him getting up all his friends looks up.

Ali : are you going somewhere?

Neil : yes.. I was getting bored here so I am thinking of walking around the beach. Avni is going to join me. Right avni!

Avni nodded her head and stood up too.

Ali : can we join too?

Before avni could reply Neil shouted immediately..

Neil : noooo..

All of them looks at Neil including avni too..

Tara : why can't we join Neil?

Neil : woh.. I mean.. we are going to walk only. You guys enjoy sitting here..

He held Avni's hand and dragged her with him without listening to his friends while Riya and Juhi looks at each other and thought of something.

Sitara: I think something is wrong with Neil.. I mean he behaves differently with avni..

Everyone looks at her expert there girls.

Ali : what do you mean?

Sitara: I mean.. there is something between them... they are different with each other especially Neil.. he is same person with us expect avni.. he is more close to Avni than us.. even with Juhi and Riya.  Don't you think something is fishy?

Vidyut and Ali looks at each other then their girlfriend who was avoiding this situation.. seeing them looking down they both understood something is wrong..

Ali : Riya, Juhi do you know anything about them? You both are close to Neil. He shares everything with you..

Juhi : Ali it's nothing like that. They are  just friends.. right Riya.

Riya : yeah Juhi is right. Stop making your assumptions on them. They are happy being  with each other. I don't think so there is any harm being together.

Ali : exactly Riya.. there is no harm. We are not against if they are something between them but don't you think we should know too.. we are his friends too..

Juhi : guys are going to talk about their relationship.. maybe they are not aware of their feelings towards each other.. and I'm sure Neil would share it with us.. don't you trust Neil.. let things go how it is going. Maybe Neil is waiting for something. We can't assume anything.. and you know Neil is perfect guy for any girl. Even he falls for avni then we should celebrate as our both friend are in love with each other.. now please stop talking about them.. give them their personal space..

Suhneria: Juhi is right guys.. let not assume anything on them. We trust them right. When they feel it's right time to reveal about their relation then they will tell us..

All agreed and turns around where AvNeil were walking with their arms linked with each other.. anyone could tell they are couple not best friends.

Ali : but honestly I wish they could be couple.. look how adorable they look with each other..

All nodded their head seeing how Neil bend down on his knees where few children was making sandcastle..

While other side AvNeil was walking and talking with each other when Neil spotted children making sandcastle. He looks at avni..

Neil : wanna make sandcastle with me?

Avni : I'm fine like this.. I don't know how to make one..

Neil laughed hearing her but immediately closed his mouth..

Neil : it's okay.. don't feel bad.. I will make one for you.. is that okay?

Avni's eyes twinkles hearing him..

Avni : will you make one for you?

Neil : yes I would..

Neil then bend down on his knees and calls the kids who was busy making the sandcastle..

Neil : hey can I help you guys?

Children's was around 6-7 years old.. all of them looks at Neil and smiles.

Children 1: yes Bhaiyya you can helps us..

Neil smiles and ruffles his hair.. he then looks at avni who was still standing beside him.

Neil : avni take seat.. you will get tired while standing up..

Avni nodding and sat down on sand and watched Neil making sandcastle along with children..

Neil was making sandcastle while two of children's was digging sand and giving to Neil while others was helping Neil to make the sandcastle..

It took good 20 minutes to complete the castle. Neil dusted his and looks at children who was smiling and playing with castle.. whereas avni was adorning this man front of her..

Neil was smiling seeing children when his gaze fell on  avni who was staring at him with smile playing on his lips..

Neil moves to her and sat beside her.. he lovingly calls her name.

Neil : avni.. avni..

His glove brought avni out of her thoughts..she looks beside her and smiles seeing him.. she side hugged him..

Avni : thank you Neil.. this is amazing.. thank you for making it.. thank you.

Neil : you're most welcome avni.. did you like it?

Avni : I loved it..

Neil : I'm glad you like it.. take picture of this then we will walk again before going back to our friends. Okay!

Avni nodded her head and took her phone out and clicked few pictures.. she also clicked pictures of hers and Neil with sandcastle..

AvNeil clicking pictures with children's and kissing their cheeks got up and starts walking in their own hand..

AvNeil after someone time walks back to their friends and saw most of them lying down and talking with among each other.. seeing them like this AvNeil too took their seat beside each other and made others aware of their presence..

They exchanged hi and hello and continued with their gossips..

Few hours later everyone was heading back to hotel.

At night after dinner Neil was standing next his room window and thinking about today. He looks down and found someone sitting near the swimming pool.. he frowned thinking who would be there. He chucked his thought and took his phone out to message avni..

He quickly typed the message and waited for reply. He waits for few minutes but didn't get any reply.. he was going to call avni but stopped hearing Ali and vidyut voices.. he turns around and saw them coming inside the room..

Neil : hey guys! Where did you both go?

Ali : we was around the hotel.. Neil we are thinking to plan something.. wanna join us..

Neil : ah.. actually  I'm going out to have fresh air.

Ali : okay..

Neil quickly went out of the room and starts walking to swimming pool.. somewhere he felt the figure he saw near the pool would be avni.. he rushed to pool and smiles as he was right guessing avni would be here.

He quietly sat next to her and dipped his legs under the water. He wasn't shocked not seeing avni reacting him or feeling someone's presence next to her..

Neil kept his hand on her shoulder making avni flinch.. she almost jumped on her place but soon relaxed seeing Neil there..

Avni : gosh Neil you scared me.

Neil : sorry but what are you doing here?

Avni : I wasn't feeling sleepy so came here. What about you?

Neil: I messaged you but you didn't reply so thought to roam around..

Avni : oh that's nice..

Neil : hmm! What are you thinking? You look lost.

Avni : I was thinking how would be my life like after few years... our college will be over in next year then job.. teen marriage.. kids.. this is what my family wants..

Neil : you want to get married? Isn't too early for you?

Avni :I don't think so it's early.. I mean.. if I find a guy who loves me and promises to keep me happy my whole life then why would I not marry him.. I won't let him leave me..

Neil : that's nice.. have you fallen in love? What's your opinion on love?

He was taking this as opportunity to know what she feels for him or what she thinks about love..

Avni shockingly looks at him while dipping her hand into water..

Avni : love.. love is pure feeling. Love can happen anytime and with anyone.. I haven't fall in love but once I fall in love with someone na then I will be bound to keep love between us till our death. My love for him will always be there no matter what.. you know falling in love is best feeling.  I have seen couple who have fallen love. Even I want to experience that moment too but for that I have to find my perfect man..

Neil stares avni lovingly.. Neil smiles recalling her thoughts on love. He smiling like  fool. He knew now what to do which will make avni fall for him..

Avni looks at Neil who was staring her.. his gaze always felt something which she can never guess what is. His presence makes her happy.. but can she guess what the feelings for him..

Avni : we should sleep Neil.. good night Neil..

Neil came back to reality.

Neil : yeah.. good night.

Both walks back to their room and  let this day end on happy note.
