Avni was wide woke staring the sky sitting in her room balcony. She also munching some snacks. She lost in her thoughts staring the sparkle sky above.
Avni comes out of her thoughts hearing sonal's voice.
Sonal : what are you doing here avni?
Avni : why the hell are you shouting sonal? Speak quietly!
Sonal sat beside avni and took the crisp packet and starts munching ignoring Avni's glares.
Avni : who told you to have my crisp? You can't have them sonal..
Sonal : shut up avni.. Learn to share for god sake...
Avni : I don't share my food girl! By now you should have known.
Sonal : why are you sitting alone here? Shouldn't you be sleeping?
Avni : I couldn't sleep..
Sonal : why is that? I mean normally you would be asleep by now. Did something happen?
Avni : nothing happened... I kind of feel guilty..
Sonal stops eating and looks at avni.
Sonal : why do you feel guilty?
