GIFT

In evening when avni came down looking for her car, it wasn't there. Considering, Neil again might’ve sent it back home she called him. Neil picked up the call saying,

Neil: Hello, Miss. Mehta

His voice was heard nearby. She turned and there he was, in dark blue suit same as this afternoon. Black shades and one hand in his pants pocket. Avni's heart skipped a beat watching him walk up to her like that. Neil was standing next to his car.

Avni: neil, meri car nahi mil rahi. Tumne ghar bhej di kya?

He gave peck on her cheek putting a hand at the back of her head.

Neil: Nahi.

Avni: Toh phir kaha gayi? Yahin park ki thi maine

He was still on his phone texting someone,

Neil: I mean, maine hi bheja hai but ghar nahi

Avni: Toh?

Neil: Sold, miss mehta
Avni: Sold?

She asked cluelessly,

Avni: tumne meri car bech di?

Neil: dd tumhe achi price dilwa dega.

Avni was speechless for over a minute. She asked baffled,

Avni: achi price? Tumhe kisne kaha ki mujhe car bechni hai?

Neil: Kisi ne nahi

Avni: Toh phir kyu bechi?

Neil was busy on his phone,

Avni: neil..

Neil: Han?

Avni: Meri car kaha hai?

She added,

Avni: Wo car mere bhai ne di thi mujhe, kis se puch ke tum ne bech di?

He wasn't listening. She patted his arms irritably,

Avni: neil! Main tum se baat kar rahi hoon. Meri car laa ke do mujhe.

Neil: Arey de dunga na. Aao chalo pehle.

Avni: Stop it please. Kya kar rahe ho tum ye sab? bina puche…

Neil: Main puchta nahi hoon. Aur koi zarurat bhi nahi

Avni: Par wo meri car thi..

Grabbing her hand, he let her out of the parking lot, to an open parking area just outside the office building. There was a lavish red coloured BMW, as if just rode out of some magazine.

Neil: Tumhari car ye hai

Avni looking at him in an utter disbelief. He pressed her hand in his.

Neil: Avni ..?

She didn't avert her eyes off him. Pissed off like never before. She asked softly,

Avni: Tumhara dimaag kharab hai?

Neil: kya? Colour pasand nahi aaya?

Avni took a deep breath. Withdrawing her hands she asked,

Avni: Mazzak kar rahe ho? Meri car kaha hai Ritik?

Neil: Arey, ye rahi na tumhari car

Avni: Ye meri car nahi hai. Tum pagal ho.

He pulled her towards the car.

Neil: Ab se yahi tumhari car hai.

He added,

Neil: okay?
