Chapter 17

                                    

                                          

It was the time of the morning, Neil was still laying on the bed and thinking about Avni's behaviour. Neil heard the shouting of his family and flinched. 
Shweta: no, no, no. 
Prakash: Shweta. 
Neil frowns and goes to the window. Neil was shocked to see his family who was playing cricket. Bebe was wearing the hat of the umpire. Prakash and Shweta were fighting. 
Prakash: Shweta, don't do cheating. You are out now give me the bat. 
Avni was smiling. Neil smiled to see them.
Shweta: no, I am not out. Out of jealousy, Bebe gave the wrong decision against me. 
Avni raised her eyebrows and looked at Bebe who opened her mouth. 
Bebe: you are blaming me? Me? The umpire. You are disqualified. 
Prakash: Bebe, it's cricket, not football. 
Bebe: I don't know anything, I am an umpire. Here my orders will be followed. I will make rules. Shweta is out. 
Avni smiled. Neil chuckled and looked away.
Prakash: Shweta, now Bebe again gave her decision against you now it's my turn. 
Prakash tried to get the bat but Shweta takes it away. 
Shweta: no, no, I will not give it to you. 
Shweta was running, Prakash was behind her, Avni was enjoying their cute fight. Neil chuckled and recall the time when he also play with them. Neil smiled. Neil goes. Shweta came to Avni. 
Shweta: Avni, you say him, he always listens to you. 
Avni looked at Prakash. 
Prakash: no, no. 
Avni: please. 
Prakash: what is this, Yaar? You always do this. 
Avni holds her ears. 
Avni: sorry. 
Prakash slowly hits her head. 
Prakash: ok, fine, but only for you. 
Avni smiled. 
Shweta: yeah. 
Avni was smiling. Neil came there while smiling. Avni saw him and looked down, she starts playing with her ring. 
Neil: what is going on? 
Neil looked at Avni. Shweta showed the bat. 
Shweta: cricket match. 
Neil smiled. He looked at Avni and frowns. Neil finds her behaviour strange. 
Bebe: Oh my, my, Shweta, see, from where the sun has grown today. 
Neil looked at her. 
Bebe: this is your night? You called the morning, night? 
Neil smiled and holds her shoulders from the side. 
Neil: Sorry, I got stuck in some work. 
Bebe: yeah, yeah, I already knew you will not come. 
Neil pulls her cheeks and said, sorry, my cute Bebe. 
Bebe: ok, ok, enough. Stop buttering now. 
Neil smiled, he looked at Avni who was looking down. 
Prakash: come on, son, you also join us. 
Neil smiled and spreads his arms. 
Neil: ok. 
Avni: ab, you all play, I am going to the kitchen.
