A week passed... Haseena woke up early and went to temple with Chachaji and came back with prasad.. She went straight into room and put on music in tape recorder to wake up Preeti... She went near to bed and whisper in her ear loudly.... Happy Birthday Preeti....

Preeti wake up with jerk and saw Haseena sitting next to her with a smile on her face and spread her hands to hug her.... they both had a bone crush hug and she again wish her birthday....

Preeti: aaj bhi hamesha ki tarah tune hi mujhe wish kiya hai sabse pehle... thank you thank you so much ... I love you... ab chal jaldi se apne haath ka bana prasad bhi de... mujhe pata hai tu mere liye prarthna karne mandir gayi hogi subah subah uth kar....

Haseena feeds her prasad : bhukkad... yeh le ... achcha hota tu bhi mere saath chalti... par koi nahi main hun na tere liye.. aaj maine bhagwan se tere liye saari duniya ki khushiyan maangi hai...

Pooja didi enter and also wish Preeti... hume pata tha Haseena aaj mandir jaroor jayegi isiliye humne pehle wish nahi kiya tujhe... aur yeh le tera gift.. tere jijaji ne pehle se hi kharid kar saath mein diya tha... aur Haseena yeh tere liye....

Haseena surprisingly... arey par mera nahi iska birthday hai... phir mujhe kyun...

Pooja: Toh.. tu apna birthday manati kaha hai... hume wish tak to karne nahi deti theek se..... vaise bhi Varun ji ke liye tum dono ek barabar ho... chalo ab yeh sab chhodo aur apna apna gift dekho.... Hope you will like it...

Then trio hug each other and later Anand, Bela all wish Preeti and give her so many gifts too...

Haseena (in her mind) : Kash main bhi koi gift la paati... har saal ise mere surprise gift ka sabse jyada intzaar rehta tha.... akele mein market jaa nahi sakti aur iske saath jaati to surprise kaha rehta... Pooja didi ko bhi saath nahi le ja sakti thi... par koi nahi meri wishes toh hai na uske saath...

Rohan and Anubhav get ready for college and are waiting for Vyom Cheetah....

Rohan impatiently: Yaar yeh log itna late kyu ho rahe hai.... thoda jaldi nahi aa sakte kya ek din bhi...

Anubhav: Relax yaar... abhi bahut time hai.. tu aaj itna utawla kyun ho raha hai...

Rohan (shyly): Voh yaar... actually... voh aaj Preeti ka birthday hai to socha sabse pehle college jaakar use wish kar deta hoon....

Anubhav: Haan toh kar dena na.. isme itni besabri kyun.... wait... wait... matlab tu itna sharma raha hai.... voh bhi Preeti ke naam se..... kuch chupa raha hai kya.....mujhe toh bata de yaar......vaise kuch gift liya hai uske liye... mujhe pata hota toh main hi le aata...

Rohan (nervously): arey nahi na... main kya chupaunga... aisa kuch nahi bas ab hum achche friends hai toh bas yun hi... haan vaise gift laya hun varna kachcha kha jayegi mujhe....

Anubhav (teasingly): Vaise ladki achchi hai... aur tujh jaise bhondu kitabi keede ke liye toh us jaisi strong ladki hi sahi rahegi.....

Rohan dreamingly said: Haan hai to bahut pyari... poori duniya se alag.... talented bhi bahut hai.. kitni aasani se har waqt ladne ke bahane dhundh leti hai....... anokha talent hai usme...

Anubhav: Haan toh hum lada e bhi toh usi se hain jisse sabse jyada pyar karte hai...

Rohan : Matlab tu kehna chah raha hai ki voh aur main... I mean hum dono.... No ways yaar ... ek number ki ladaku hai voh... daaku Hasina types....

Anubhav laughed but somehow understood his brother's feelings developing for Preeti.. he keeps thinking: Chalo achcha hai ek aur love story shuru hui... hey bhagwan sab ki help kar dena bas mera hi number nahi aa raha....

They all reached college and wait for girls to come in... They took all girls to canteen first where Rohan & Cheetah prepare a small celebration for Preeti.. she cut the cake and firstly feed to Haseena and then to all... Today they bunked their first class and planned to stay in canteen only and a treat from Preeti to all.. Karishma, Rohan and Santosh all give her gifts and they start their party.....

Anubhav sits beside Haseena to talk as feeling her bit quiet than other days...

Anubhav: Haseena... aaj toh tum ghar par bahut enjoy karoge... shaam ka kya plan hai... party ya kahi baahar jaoge...

Haseena: nahi bas ghar ke log hi party karenge... Taiji ko to yeh sab pasand hi nahi hai na isliye jyada hungama ho to daant pad jaati hai.. haan par aaj Karishma Santosh hamare saath hi ghar jaayengi toh bahut masti karenge.. vaise bhi kal Sunday hai toh koi problem nahi hoga... aur phir Pooja didi bhi hai ghar par...

Anubhav: wow phir to tum log aaj poori raat khoob masti karne wale ho... vaise main to puchna hi bhool gaya tumhara birthday kab aata hai... tumne kabhi bataya nahi...

Haseena gets sad.. replied in low tone: voh kuch mahine pehle hi gaya hai... kuch khaas nahin bas mujhe apna birthday manana pasand nahi.....

Anubhav surprisingly, "very bad Haseena... tumne bataya nahi.. hum sab poore din saath hote hai.. phir bhi pata nahi chala"

Haseena : nahi voh is baar Sunday tha toh bas ghar par the.. vaise bhi main celebrate nahi karti toh its okay na...

Anubhav (in his mind): shit yaar.. is saal bhi maine miss kar diya par koi nahi agle saal tum dekhna main kya karta hun... ek dum out of the world....

Anubhav : vaise aaj tumne kya diya Preeti ko... I am sure tumhara gift toh sabse best hoga...

Haseena (sadly): Nahi voh main kuch la hi nahi paayi... she said excitedly with a glint in her eyes.. "tumhe pata hai voh har saal sabse pehle mera gift dekhti thi par is saal yeh nahi kar paayi... mujhe pata hai kahegi nahi par voh miss kar rahi hai mera gift.. uske liye sabse special jo hota tha.. sabse best surprise......

Anubhav: Haan toh tumhe lana chahiye tha na .... kya problem thi...

Haseena: Kaise laati... main akele market kaise jaati aur uske saath jaati to surprise kaise rahta...

Anubhav understood meaning of her hidden words.. her apprehensions.. her fear... to lighten her mood he diverts the topic and start having breakfast and prasad prepared by her...

They all headed to class for next lecture when Anubhav hold her hand and stop her entering in class...

Anubhav: Haseena.. tumse kuch baat karni hai...

Haseena: Haan toh class mein chalkar baat karte hai na...

Anubhav: Nahi..pehle meri ek baat manogi ..... mere saath market chalogi.. Preeti ke liye gift lene.. hum jaldi se jaakar aa jayenge...

Haseena lowered her eyes and nodded in no......... Nahi Anubhav...... tum pareshaan mat ho......... it's okay......... use pata hai voh bura nahi maanegi.........

Anubhav: Baat uske bura manane ki nahi hai......... tumhari ichcha ki hai......... tum chahti ho na uske liye gift lena to chalo na......... kya problem hai......... main hun tumhare saath......... bharosa nahi hai mujhpe?

Haseena: aise baat nahi hai......... par.........

Anubhav: par var kuch nahi.........hum bas chal rahe hai......... its final......... aur maine Rohan ko bata diya hai...... voh sabko bata dega ki hum kuch jaruri kaam se gaye hai............ koi hume nahi dhudhega.........

He holds her hand and move towards parking area...... He opened the front door and make her sit comfortably and settled himself in driving seat.........

Anubhav looking at her : daro mat main car achchi chala leta hun............ She smiles and they move to market for buying gift......... they keep on chatting continuously while whole route...... she excitedly told her that how every year they celebrate Preeti's birthday without noticing to Taiji ............... "yaar tumhari Taiji kuch jyada ajeeb nahi hai......... birthday celebrate karne ko kaun rokta hai" he said......

They parked the car in market and move to a big store having all girl's items and accessories... Haseena bought Preeti's favorite dress which she was planning to buyand matching accessories......... Anubhav was standing near the counter and saw a red baandhani dupatta and imagined Haseena wearing this... He brought that dupatta and hid it in his bag before Haseena finished her shopping.........

Anubhav: ho gaya gift......... tumne kuch apne liye nahi liya.........

Haseena : Nahi ...... mujhe kuch nahi lena tha bas voh Preeti ke liye ho gaya......... thanks to you.........

They headed towards parking area and sits inside the car...... when two people were staring them from far evily..................
