Neil : Abeer is everything okay..??

Abeer : yeah... everything is fine.. just don't tease her today.. Neil nodded his head.. Abeer then went away...

All day he notice Avni was sad and silent and lost in her thoughts... she even eat very little... she sat on the chair near the window and stare at the sky all the time....he tries to ask Abeer but he just change the topic...
It's almost evening and Bebe told that they are going to have evening snacks and tea in the garden...

They all settled in the garden and have their tea and snacks with light conversation... Avni was still silent and just stare at the wall.. when someone ask her something she either gave little answer or just nodded her head...after some time she get up and went to sit on the ground little far...
