Every morning is a beautiful start and they say every beautiful start has a beautiful end. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm going to reach the end of my journey to find her today! I woke up from my bed with a huge grin on my face. I feel so fresh and so excited about this new day. Not only because that today I'm gonna join my work, but also because today is a special day! Do you know what's special about this day? It's Sonakshi's birthday! I still remember her first birthday with me, okay it was the only one till now. But I believe that there are many more to come!

"Jatin, what are you searching for?", Dev asked jatin, who was busy in online shopping. "A brand new video game", he said. "But you already have so many", Dev said looking at the heap of video games in his room. "Not for me. It's for sonakshi. Her birthday is coming up in a week", Jatin said still searching. "Oh, is it? But why are you gifting her video games? I don't think that she will play one", he said. "Why are you saying so? No one hates video games!", he said confidently. "I don't think gifting video games to a girl is a good idea", Dev said. "Who said she is a girl?", Jatin said chuckling. "Moreover I don't think she has the patience to sit and play video games. She is hyper active", dev said giggling. From the time, he came to darjeeling, he had never seen sonakshi sitting still in a place. He wondered how her parents used to manage her when she was a child. She must have been too tough to control, he thought. "Then what do you want me to gift her? Roller skates?", Jatin asked giggling. "Don't even think of doing that! She is already running around the streets. She definitely don't need one", he said. "You are right", he said as they both giggled. "Dev, what are you going to gift her? Remember, she won't leave you if you didn't gift her anything. Who knows she may even demand gift from us first, even before inviting us for her birthday party", jatin said chuckling. "I haven't decided it till now. Let's see..", Dev said thinking over what to gift her.

It was sonakshi's birthday that day and she was very much excited about it, though she was worried as to why her birthday comes during summer holidays, as she can neither celebrate it with her school friends nor she could receive so many gifts. Though they celebrate her birthday by throwing a small party, but only her very close friends were invited, much to her dismay. She always dreamt of a big grand birthday party, but her father never allowed to it. It was evening by then, and she was all ready to cut her cake. A very few friends of her and elena were present there along with jatin, his dadi and Dev. After successfully cutting the cake, she was all set to receive her gifts. "Come on, give my gift", she demanded Jatin, who came there empty handed. "I don't have one", he said showing his hands. "Then give me back my 4 pieces of cake that you swallowed in one go", she said twitching her nose. "I won't. Do whatever you can", he said making her all the more angry. "Jatin, stop irritating her", his dadi said and gave her the gift which jatin asked her to hide. "Dadi, why do you always spoil the fun?", Jatin said rolling his eyes. Dev wondered, what pleasure he received in irritating her, that he loved to do so.

Sonakshi quickly grabbed it from her hand and unwrapped the gift. It was nothing but a brand new xbox video console. Before she could open her mouth, elena snatched it from her hand exclaiming, "Oh my god! This is the best gift ever. Thank you so much", she said as her eyes gleamed. "But it's my gift!", Sonakshi shouted trying to grab it from her. Soon they were seen fighting with each other but asha interrupted. "Stop it! Are you both kids?", she shouted. "Mumma she snatched my gift", sona complained but elena gestured her not to. "Do whatever you want after everyone went. Now please show some manners infront of the guests", asha said and took the gift from her hands. "You'll get it after the party", she said and took it with her much to the sisters' dismay.

"It's all because of you", elena shouted. "Me? It's you who snatched my birthday gift", Sonakshi shouted back. "Excuse me! Can you both please stop?", Dev interrupted. "No!", they both shouted in unison. "Oh! Then it's okay. I'll return my gift back to the shop", he said as sonakshi looked at him in shock. "No.. No. Please don't! I'll be quiet. Give me my gift", she said placing finger on her lips. "Okay, then come with me", he said and she followed. "Where are you coming?", she asked elena who tiptoed behind her. "To see the gift..", she mumbled. "Oh, hello! It's my gift. You stay away", Sonakshi said and walked behind dev leaving a frustrated elena behind.

"Where are you taking me?", Sonakshi asked Dev, who blindfolded her. "I'm gonna push you from the terrace", he said making her walk on the steps. "No! I don't want to die on my birthday", she said with a sad pout. "Shut up and walk", he said taking her to jatin's room. "So, here is your gift", he said opening her eyes. "Wow!", she shouted looking at a cute little parrot in front of her. "Sshh.. Don't scare it", he said and she lowered her voice. "Happy birthday sonakshi!", The parrot spoke making her jaw hit the ground. "Oh my god! It's talking", she said excitedly, jumping on the ground, making him giggle. The parrot was repeating it's words, and she couldn't believe her ears. "So, here is your gift", he said making the parrot stand on her forefinger. She couldn't help but smile at it's antics. She looked at him nervously, being scared of not to hurt it and he assured that she won't. After a few minutes, he took it from her hand and led it into it's cage.

"This is the best gift ever!", she exclaimed still looking at the bird astonished. She couldn't believe that it just wished her on her birthday. "You know, this will be the perfect match for you, both are chatterbox", he said chuckling as she gave him a staunch look. It still surprised her, how the parrot kept on repeating the same words, not closing it's mouth even for a minute, just like her. "If you keep on talking like this, then how will I sleep at night?", she asked the parrot. "Now you will get to know, how you are bothering others with your nonstop talks", he said giggling while she twitched her nose in anger. "Remember you are talking to a future RJ", she said pulling her imaginary collars. "It's the only job that will suit you", he said giggling receiving a death glare from her. "But when did you train him?", she asked in surprise. "I bought it a week before and was training it day and night", he said sighing tiredly. "Oh thank you so much", she said smiling. "By the way, what name can we give him?", she asked thinking. "I'm bad at names", he said rising his hands in surrender. "Hmmm... Babloo, his name is babloo", she said excitedly. "Babloo! Not bad", he said. "So, your name is babloo. I'm sonakshi, your new friend", she said smiling at him. "Babloo.. Babloo!", the parrot repeated making them astonished. "That's so fast! Be careful while talking with him, he catches your words so quickly", he said looking surprised. "Is it Mr.Obhodro?", she asked as he furrowed his brows in anger. "Obhodro! Obhodro!", babloo repeated and she couldn't hold back her laughter. "Sonakshi!", he yelled at her, who was trying to control her growing chuckles. "Obhodro.. Obhodro!", babloo repeated again taking them by surprise. Hearing that, soon they broke into fits of laughter as babloo looked at both of them surprised.

Dev couldn't help but smile, thinking of those beautiful memories. Though they were very few, but he still remembers everything. Every moment spent with her were carved deep into his heart. And he wanted to cherish it every second. He had his breakfast quickly and drove his car to the hospital. He had to do some unfinished formalities before joining the next day. The hospital was at almost half an hour journey from his home. So he turned on the radio in the meanwhile, to kill his boredom.

"Welcome to Rainbow FM and now let's start with the birthday wishes first",the RJ spoke. "So here we have our first caller Elena Bose", she said making him halt the car.

RJ: So Hi elena, what are you doing and whom you want to wish today?

Caller: Hi I'm Elena Bose. I'm a fashion designer in Exclusive Fashion house. I want to wish my sister Sonakshi coz today is her birthday.

Dev couldn't believe his ears. His grinned widely, his joy knew no bounds hearing her name. Yes, it was his sonakshi they were talking about he had no doubts in that. And it was elena, her sister for sure. His reverie broke as they continued again.

Caller: She always wanted to become an RJ but..

RJ : But, what happened?

Caller: Nothing.. She couldn't become one.

RJ : Okay elena. Ask her to keep trying and We wish you a very happy birthday Sonakshi. Let this birthday be a new beginning in your life! Okay, let's hear this song for sonakshi and her sister elena...

She said hanging the call. Dev was too numb to react. He found his sonakshi finally, he found her. His lips curved upwards realising it and he couldn't hold back his tears, this time a happier one. He turned his car back and made his way towards 'The Exclusive Fashion house'.

"Can I meet Ms. Elena Bose?", Dev asked the receptionist of The Exclusive Fashion House. "Can you please wait Sir? She didn't arrive yet", she said as he nodded and took his seat in the guest room. He was too much nervous and excited at the same time. He was glancing his watch for every two minutes and pacing back and forth. Each second felt like an hour to him. He so wanted to meet sonakshi, tell her everything, everything that happened in all these years. "Elena, there is someone waiting for you", his thoughts broke hearing the receptionist's voice. He could hear someone's foot steps and was sure that it's elena. The door clicked open and he stood up from his seat looking at an young lady, with short hair, dressed in her casual jean and shirt. "Elena!", he whispered in surprise. His joy knew no bounds, finally after 7 years he is going to meet sonakshi and the thought itself made his heart flutter. Elena looked at him shocked, her face lost it's colour looking at the man infront of her. She definitely was not expecting him there. She composed herself and took slow steps towards him. "Yes, I'm Elena Bose. What do you want?", she asked in a stern voice. "Elena, don't you remember me? I'm Dev, Dev Dixit, Jatin's friend. I came to his grandmother's house seven years ago, when you were in darjeeling. I lost all your contacts. I've... I've been searching you guys for so many years. Thank god, I found you finally. How are you? How is sonakshi?", he asked everything in one breath. He couldn't hold back his urge in meeting her anymore. Elena looked at him, who was waiting for her reply eagerly and breathed in a heavy one. "Relax Mr. Dev Dixit. I'm sorry but I don't remember whom you are and I don't know anyone called sonakshi", she said as Dev's world stopped.
