Hey guys..
I know I've been on a spree.. disappeared from all your lives..
But I'm finally back.. with a promise to not keep you guys waiting for long each time..
A lot of technological glitches are gone from my life.. *silent prayers uttered*
And so, Shivangi and Parth are back..
To brush up your memories, I'll start the chapter with a dash of the past, that is, the last chapter..
I hope you remember that it was Shivangi's birthday Eve and she had got the chance to spend it with her one true love, Shahrukh Khan..
So here we go...

After spending some time in each other's arms..
And after a long kiss..
I rushed to see the photos that hung over my bed..
They had small scrolls with messages from the person in the photograph..

The last message I read was from none other than Shah Rukh Khan..
That message reminded me that I had to send a video to my hostel fam..
Video of the remaining part of the dialogue game..
Parth had fallen asleep because he had an early morning shoot the next day.. while I was getting phone calls from family and friends.

As soon as I posted the video..
I was tempted to see it all over again..
And yet again..
In the car called memories,
I travelled back in time..

*Flashback*

Both me and Shah Rukh stood in the centre of the circle we were sitting in..

"Okay so my sentence is..

No one can ever understand my love for you..
No one can ever understand my love for Shah Rukh Khan.
I don't know woh kya feeling hai..
Its so different!", i said.

Within about just ten seconds of my completing the sentence..
Shah Rukh took my hands and made me encircle them around his neck..
His strong arms then encircled my waist..
We were so close that we could feel each other's breath..
Looking straight into my eyes, he remarked in his husky, romantic voice..

"Dosti ke alava bhi kuch rishtey hote hai..
kuch rishtey joh hum samajhte nahi..
kuch rishtey joh hum samajhna nahi chahte..
kuch rishtey jinka koi naam nahi hota, sirf ehsaas hota hai..
kuch rishtey jinki koi deewar nahi hoti, sarhad nahi hoti..
aise rishtey jo dil ke rishtey hote hai,
pyar ke rishtey hote hai,
mohabbat ke rishtey hote hai.."

*Flashback ends*

I was still in a trance when I felt a poke on my stomach..

"Na tera phone kahin ja raha hai aur na yeh video..
Kal dekh liyo!!!
College jaana hai..
Aur birthday bhi hai..
Chal aa.. so jaa", the person who poked, my dear Mr. Samthaan, pulled me towards him in bed..

"Haan bas do minute..
Inn logon ke reactions aa rahe hain!!!!
Do minute.. do minute!!!!", I said as my hostel fam WhatsApp group had started buzzing again because the video of the last part of the game had been delivered.

"Good night!", Parth again crashed on the pillow and in a moment, fell asleep.

"What. The. F*ck.!!!"
Came a similar reply from the four different members of the WhatsApp chat group, Hostel Fam.

"Shivangi teri to nikal padi?!!!", Manali messaged.

And before I could reply to them, Anamika gave me a video call!!!!!
As Parth was sleeping right next to me, and I didn't want to disturb him for he had a long day of shoot ahead of him, and I didn't even have my earphones around, I disconnected the call.

"I'll call you tomorrow..
Parth is asleep and I'm going to sleep too.
I have college tomorrow.", I messaged Anamika, responded to a few messages on WhatsApp and then slid into Parth's arms, to wake up to my birthday, next morning.

*Shivangi's P.O.V. Ends*

The next morning dawned..
Parth's alarm rang.
He switched off the alarm and tried to get up, but was stopped by his lady love's arms, which were strongly encircled around his chest.
Shivangi's face rested on his shoulder and chest, while his one arm enveloped her more into him and her arms were encircling his chest.
She had snuggled into her man and was sleeping peacefully.
Parth gently raised his arm which enveloped Shivangi, to give her a long and silent kiss on her forehead, and then whispered softly..

"Happy Birthday Beautiful!
I love you.."

He then let Shivangi sleep for five more minutes and then woke her up like he always did.
He gently removed Shivangi's pillow not waking her up, and then removed his arm supporting Shivangi's head, making her head hit the mattress with a thud, thus waking her up.
As if a step that comes next, Shivangi, without even opening her eyes, slapped Parth on his arm.

"Aaj to aise na karo...?!!
It's my birthday today!!!"

"Toh?!!! As if that'll stop me from troubling you..!", Parth smirked as he got up from bed.

"Gande...
Huhh?!!!!!", She remarked with an irritating face, still in her sleep.

"Achha uth ab..
Otherwise both of us will get very very late..", Parth threw the pillow at her face and said.

"Hmm..
Do minute.. uth rahi!", She murmured in her sleep.

"Raat ko sone ko bolo.. toh do minute..
Subah uthne ko bolo.. toh do minute..
Kya ladki hai!!!!!", Parth grumbled as he headed to the washroom to brush his teeth and begin with his morning routine.

"Mummy mat ban Parth!!!!!!", She screamed in sleep.

Parth then brushed his teeth, washed his face and then went to the kitchen to make his coffee.
Morning coffee was something Parth could only have, if it was made my him, now, also the one made by Shivangi.
He then put his cup of coffee and Shivangi's cup of coffee in a tray and went back to the room.
As expected, Shivangi was sleeping away to glory..

He placed the tray on the centre table in the room and went to her bed.
He picked up the pillow he had removed from underneath Shivangi's head, sat in a position to attack her with that pillow.

"Shivangi Aggarwal...
I'm only counting till 3..
That's it!", He said.

"Hmm..", she ignored.

"So ONE..", he screamed in her ears.

"TWO!!!!!!!", He screamed even louder.

"Shivangi..
TWO AND A HALF?!!!!!"

"QUARTER TO THREE SHIVANGIII???"

And instead of saying 'three', he very cutely, said..

"Happy Birthday Shivangi!"

And then hit Shivangi on her face, with the pillow in his hands.

"Parth??!!!!!!!", Shivangi sprang up from her bed in annoyance.

"Happy Birthday!
And I had warned you.", He shrugged his shoulders and got up to leave.

"Aise kaise Mr. Samthaan!!!!!!!", And there came a pillow on Parth's head, from the back.

"Okayyy...
So you really want to do this huh?!!!", Parth turned around to face Shivangi with naughtiness dripping from his eyes.

And then began a fierce battle of pillow fight, first on the floor and then eventually both of them stood on the bed.
They were about to climb on the bed when Parth stopped Shivangi..

"Ek second...
Time out Shivangi..
Time out!!", He panted.

"Kyuu?!!!
Haar gaye na..?!
Maan li na haar?!!!!", Shivangi mocked him as she tried to catch her breath.

"Ji nahi..
Pankha bandd kar raha hoon..
Dono ka sir katega!!!!", He rolled his eyes.

"Jhootheee!!!!
Bahaane banaane se kuch nahi hoga!!", Shivangi stood and giggled and pat came a pillow flying, on to her face..

And now it was Parth's turn to laugh.

  Both Parth and Shivangi kneeled on the bed, and continued with their pillow fight, started pouncing on each other, and soon a push fight followed.
Shivangi in one instance, pounced on him, making him lose his balance..
He fell flat on his back, on the bed, with Shivangi over him.
  And before Shivangi could move away from him, he held her by her waist and rolled on the bed, reversing positions in the blink of an eye.
Parth was now on top of Shivangi..
All the battles and fights were now not a concern..

It was just each other's company..
It was just each other's closeness..
With this, nothing else mattered..
Nothing at all..

Shivangi closed her eyes tightly and clutched Parth's vest's collar between her fist as Parth slowly moved his fingers across her forehead and cheeks..

"Parth..
You will get very late..
Please chhod de!", She managed to whisper.

"Koi nahi..
Mai roz hi late hota hoon..
I don't have any problems...", He winked and pecked her tightly closed eyes, making her grip on his vest tighter and eyes shut even harder.

"Birthday hai aaj tera..
Let me wish you na Shivangi..", he remarked with a smirk.

"Kar to diya tha abhi..
Bas ho gaya!", She said and pushing him away, got up to leave.

That's when he held her by her wrist, pulled her back on to the bed, to him, and came back in the position they were previously in.. her beneath him.

"To-be Mrs. Shivangi Parth Samthaan..
Let me wish you like fiancé would wish you..
Let me wish you like your to-be-husband would wish you..", he remarked sensuously, as he kissed both her cheeks..

"Shut up Parth..
Pagal ho gaye ho kya..", she whispered as she bit her lips in order to stop her cheeks from going absolutely red.

Ignoring his fiancée's plea, Parth kissed her forehead and whispered..
"Happy birthday"

He then pecked her nose and cheeks, and whispered happy birthday again..
He then moved to, and kissed her jawline and neck, followed by a happy birthday.

He started leaving wet kisses on Shivangi's shoulders..
Shivangi was lost..
Lost in his fragrance..
Lost in his touch..
Lost in his trance..
Lost in his love..

Parth then made her sit up, looked straight into her eyes, cupped her face, and slowly locked his lips with her lips..
Shivangi leaned on the back of the bed, as Parth leaned on her..
Shivangi's arms encircled his neck..
Her fingers moved through his hair..
It was just perfect..
Just how both of them had imagined for themselves and their partners..
After a long kiss, Parth parted his lips from her's..
And at that very moment, she hugged him tightly..
He smiled and hugged her back..

"Happy Birthday Shivangi..
As cheesy and filmy as it may sound, but I mean it with all my heart when I say ki I really wish that you get all the world's happiness, love and success..
I love you..
I really really do!", He remarked.
His words had such intensity and feelings in them, that the words straightaway darted into her heart..

"I love you too Parth!
Thank you..
Thank you for everything!", She somehow managed to speak, as a lump formed in her throat, and she became teary-eyed.

Then both of them got ready, had their breakfast, and then left for their respective work places.
Parth first got off at his shoot location, and Shivangi, along with the driver, went to college.
Shivangi was supposed to go out for lunch with Ananya after college, because she was studying in Mumbai too.
Parth had promised to pick her up after that, to spend her birthday with her..

College was good for Shivangi, and so was the lunch.
Both ex-roommates talked about anything and everything, over white pasta and coke..
They were in the middle of their lunch when Shivangi got a message from Parth..

*Hey love..
Happy Birthday once again!
I'm so so so sorry that I won't be able to come and pick you up..
I'm still stuck at shoot..
And I'll take some time right now..
The driver will be reaching you..
And he shall take you to a place..
So, I'll see you at night!
Chal talk to you later!
Ily!!!*

Shivangi was a little upset because she was really looking forward to being picked up by Parth..
They were supposed to go on a long drive and all..
But then she also understood that work came first, and it was equally important.

However, she kept thinking where Parth was sending her..
He hadn't mentioned any name..
Where was she supposed to go?!!
Post lunch, Ananya went to her place, and Shivangi, along with the driver, went to this unnamed location..
Before getting off the car, the driver gave her a small envelope, that had a letter..
It read..

*Hi Gorgeous!
It's your birthday and I wanted to make it really special for you..
I couldn't really understand what exactly would make you jump up in joy..
And then I got this interesting idea..
Don't know to what extent will it impress you, but I've tried to make it as beautiful as possible..
Jahan tak main tujhe jaanta hoon..
You'll love it..
Hoping for the best..
(Fingers crossed!)
Happy Birthday..
Step out of the car..
And enter into a world you absolutely love..
Happy Birthday..
I love you to the moon and back!*
