Avni : you don't know him Neil.. he is my foreign friend..

Neil shockingly stares her face...

Avni : vidyut!

Neil got shocked hearing vidyut name.

Neil : vidyut! Why did he call you?

Avni : Neil...

Avni slaps his arms and glares him.

Avni : Neil.. why you saying that? He is my best friend.

Neil : oh please stop with best friend.. he isn't your best friend..

Avni sighed looking at him and encircled her arms around his neck and smiles making Neil  happy thinking she could kiss him.

Neil : love.. what are you doing?

Avni : what am I doing Neil? Didn't you tell me after breakfast we will cuddle.. that's what am I doing.. I want to cuddle you. This supposed to be our time not third person. Please let's go on bed.

Neil smiles and patted her cheek.

Neil : so love wants to cuddle her man.. hmm!

Avni nodded her head cutely making him smile. Neil wraps his arms around her waist and picks her up in his arms.. carrying avni in his arms he starts walking to bed.

He laid avni down then laid himself down next to avni. He pulls avni in his arms and looks at her.

Neil : happy now!

Avni : very much.

She said resting her head on his chest and playing with his t-shirt. Neil smiled pecks her forehead..

Both were cuddling each other per wish of avni and talking to each.

The staff said forwarding packet to avni but avni confusingly took the packet and looks at the staff.

Avni : Neil has sent this but where is he?

Staff : sorry ma'am but sir didn't give me any information..

Avni : thank you!

Avni thanked the staff and closed the door. She was confused why Neil isn't back and why he has this packet through hotel staff.. she kept the packet on bed and picks her phone to call Neil.

She dialled Neil's number.

Avni : hello Neil? What is this for?
