At about 4.50.. Parth called up Shivangi and asked her to come out of the gate.. but alone. That is, leaving her friends inside..
As soon as she went out.. she saw Parth!! She went to him.. but what she saw other than Parth made her feel surprised to the core...

"What. Is. This.??!!!!!", Shivangi asked.. completely surprised.

"Tum khud batao?!!", came the reply.

"For me??!!!", she asked.

"Who else?!!", he winked.

"But but but!!!! You'll have to give me a hug first..", he said and Shivangi flung herself into his arms..

"But how can I..?!"

"Abhi iske baare mein koi baat nahi karte hain.. pehle go call your friends.. We will discuss this later..", Parth kept his hand on her cheek and said to her.
Soon Parth met the hostel girl gang... Interacted with them.. and then asked all of them to hop in the car.. and took everyone out for coffee..

At about 5.30.. he dropped Anamika, Ananya, Mohini and Manali to the hostel.. and proceeded towards the airport with Shivangi.

"Ab bolo.. iska kya..", Shivangi turned to Parth and asked him pointing to the surprise..

"Iska yeh!!!", Parth said.

Both Shivangi and Parth were sitting at the back in the car, with the car being driven by the driver. Parth's team was coming in another car.
While asking about the surprise, Shivangi, who was sitting on the left of Parth, turned around and faced him.
That's when Parth encircled both his hands around her neck.. and made Shivangi wear what he had got for her..

Immediately, Shivangi's hand felt the beautiful pendant.. and then she looked at Parth questionably.

"It's simple yet pretty... Just like you!! So I thought that this is a perfect present for you!", Parth smiled and gently kissed Shivangi's fingers that still lay on the pendant.

"How can I take it Parth?! It's expensive.. and I'll not even be take care of it..", Shivangi said and opened the lock of the chain to take it off.
She was now sitting normally.. facing the front.

That's when Parth held her hands.. at that very position when she was about take off the chain.
Shivangi had never witnessed such proximity with any guy.. and so she immediately left the chain and put her hands down.
She began wriggling, to distance herself from Parth a little.

Parth held the chain with one hand and held her shoulder with the other..

"Don't worry!!! Main kuch nahi kar raha hoon..", he whispered in Shivangi's ears.
He put Shivangi's hair in the front on one side and as he locked the chain again... Parth, in his most sensous voice told Shivangi in her ears.. with his nose softly nuzzling in her earlobes..

"Yeh chain.. humari friendship ka sign hai!! Tu ise utaaregi nahi.. Promise me!"

"But mummy....", Shivangi tried to say something but..

"Shhhhh!!!!", He again said this while nuzzling in her earlobes.. making Shivangi shiver out of excitement.

"Jab ghar jaana.. to isko yahin utaar ke rakh jaana.. aur rahi baat theek se rakhne ki.. to baaki cheezon ka to nahi pata but I'm a thousand percent sure that you'll keep this more safely than your own life.."

"Aur haan ek baat aur... Tujhe lag raha hoga na.. ki ek din hua hai.. aur yeh banda.. jo ek actor hai.. mujhe itna bhaav kyun de raha hai?!!
To haan.. main tujhe bhaav de raha hoon.. aur aaj yeh chain bhi di hai.. this is a message.. a very special message...", He said.

"Kaisa message?!", Shivangi turned to Parth and asked. Her cheeks were still as red as a tomato and she was still shivering with excitement and awkwardness.

"I REALLY LIKE YOU SHIVANGI!!!

"And I'm saying this very very genuinely. I still don't know what quality exactly of yours has made me feel so.. but there is something. Something that has not let me sleep.. something that has not let me work.. something that has not let me do anything.
I am as sure of this.. as I was of my acting.", he said...
Making Shivangi start crying.

"You know.. I always wanted this to happen.. like always!!!!", she said to him.
He wiped her tears from her cheeks and gestured her to rest her head on his lap..
She shifted a little away from him and rested her head in his lap..
Parth's one hand held Shivangi across her shoulders and chest.. as if protecting her from falling in case of the car brakes.
And his other hand gently massaged and ruffled through Shivangi's long tresses.
Both of them dozed off.. Shivangi in his lap and Parth.. with his head resting on the back of the seat..
Both of them had not slept all night.. because they were thinking about each other..
And now.. they slept.. because they had each other's company..

Soon.. they were at the airport.. wide awake..

"Bye!!! I'll try and come as soon as possible!! I promise!", He said as he caressed her cheek..

"Bye!! Safe travels..", she smiled meekly.. not wanting to let him go.

"Thank you! So jaana okay?!! Or else you'll fall ill..", he gently pecked her forehead.

"Hmm.. tum bhi!", She said.

"Haan.. achha ek aur bohot important baat bataana to bhool hi gaya?!!!
Jaldi se hostel pahuncho.. tumhare liye ek aur surprise hai...", He winked and then before she could ask.. he left...
