PROPOSAL

Neil was dropping off avni home that midway his phone rang. It was his brother Arjun calling. Neil murmured
softly,
Neil: Arjun?
He picked up.
Neil: Han arjun, bol
Arjun: Bhaiya, aap aa rahe ho ya nahi? Aur kitna time?
Neil: kaha aana hai?
Arjun: Ghar
Neil: Kyu?
Arjun: Don't tell me aap bhul gaye.
Neil recollecting.
Neil: Kya?
Arjun: Mom Dad ki anniversary hai, bataya tha na aapko party rakhi hai
He shut his eyes realizing that he had to go to his parents house today.
Neil: Shit! Bhul gaya.

Arjun: Bhai, aap aa rahe ho na? Mom dad ko bohot bura lagega agar nahi aaye toh
Neil: Arey, Of course aaunga.
He continued,
Neil: Pata nahi kese dimag se nikal gaya. Don't worry, main aata hu
Arjun: Thik hai, jaldi aana.
Neil hung up telling dd.
Neil: dd wapas chalo
Dd: Apartment?
Neil: Han
Avni listening to all of this. Stretching her arms out she exclaimed,
Avni: What? Kaha?
Neil: Wapas ghar
Avni: Kyu?
Neil: Mujhe apne parents ke ghar jana hai. Tumhe baad mei drop kar dunga
Avni: No!
Neil: kya?
Avni: Nahi. Tum mujhe pehle ghar chodo
Neil: I cannot, mere mom dad ki anniversary hai aur mera hona zaroori hai
Avni: Thik hai toh tum jaao, main cab le lungi
Neil said Immediately,
Neil: No!
Avni: What No? Khud bhi nahi chodoge aur mujhe jaane bhi nahi doge toh main ghar kaise jaungi?
Neil: Main baad mei chod dunga
Avni: Aur tab tak main kya road pe ghoomti rahu?
He looked at her intently,
Neil: tum mere saath chalogi
Avni hell surprised,
Avni: Tumhare parents ki anniversary par?
Neil: Han
Avni: Pagal ho tum?
She continued irritably,
Avni: Dekho mujhe ghar jana hai. Main kahi nahi jaa rahi uske alawa
Neil not even listening. Dd was in the front seat, driving. Avni looked at dd.
Avni: Excuse me? Stop the car. Main khud chali jaungi.

Neil: dd, keep driving.
Avni looking at Neil highly annoyed.
Avni: Acha khasa main riya ke sath jaa rahi thi. Pata nahi kaha se aa gaye beech mei.
She continued,
Avni: Ab na khud ghar chod rahe ho na mujhe akele jaane de rahe ho. Kya problem hai tumhari?
Neil: Tum akele nahi jaa sakti
Avni: Kyu?
Neil: Bas nahi jaa sakti.
Avni: Arey, koi kha jaega kya!! Jaane do na.
She added in a mellow tone.
Avni: Please Neil mujhe jaane do. Main ghar pohonchte hi tumhe call kar dungi.
Neil: No!
Avni: Please..
Neil shook his head. Avni sighed irritably holding her head.
Avni: Kaha fasa diya mujhe!!
Neil said going through his cell phone.
Neil: Relax Miss Mehta.
Avni couldn't believe this was happening and she has to go with him to his parents anniversary.
Interestingly, he took her back to his place first and ordered something to dd. He walked away while neil and
Avni went upstairs.
Avni: Ab yaha kyu laaye ho? Tumhare parents ke ghar jana tha na!
He glanced at her top to bottom.
Neil: Aise hi jaaogi?
Avni looking at herself,
Avni: Kya problem hai?
Neil: Acha nahi hai
Avni sighed,
Avni: Ye kapde tum hi ne diye hain
Neil: Mera matlab acche hain but party ke liye nahi.
He added,
Neil: Tumhe change karna hoga
Avni: Mere pas ek idea hai
Stepping closer towards him slowly. She proposed,
Avni: Aisa karte hain, tum jaao. Main yahi hu. Phir jab tum wapas aaoge toh mujhe ghar chod dena
Neil had no positive expression for the idea.
Neil: Nahi.
Avni: Kya har baat par Nahi? Main nahi chal sakti tumhare sath
Neil: Kyu?
Avni: Kyuki main jaanti nahi kisi ko. It's odd.
Neil: Mujhe toh jaanti ho na?
Avni: Han. Par itna bhi nahi ki tumhare mom dad ki anniversary pe chali jaun.
Until then, dd came back. He handed over a shopping bag to neil then left.
Avni: neil..
Neil: han.
Avni: Please tum chale jao. Main yahi rehti hu na
Neil: Main tumhe akela nahi chod sakta
Avni: arey, tum hi ne toh kaha tha main yaha safe hu
Avni shot back baffled,
Neil: Ye kab kaha maine?
Avni: Kaha toh tha..
Neil stepped towards her, looking into her eyes he gave the shopping bag saying,
Neil: Maine ye nahi kaha tha ki tum yaha safe ho. I said tum mere saath safe ho.
Avni gawking back into her eyes. After a while she looked down at the bag
Avni: Ismey kya hai?
Neil: Kapde aur wo sab..
Avni: Kya sab?
Neil sighed.
Neil: wahi sab.
Avni smiling.
Avni: Kya?
Neil smiled back.
