Let's begin our story...

After a formal handshake Pragya smiled at him and he returned the smile, but these all were noticed by the Aroras who were gritting their teeth at him for wishing Pragya first. Disha and bulbul saw Aroras and went to them and says chuckling,

Disha: Please don't kill that poor soul by your glare guys and by the way he just wished her.

Ram and Neil: That too infront of us.

RV and Rishi: That too before our wish.

Arjun and Purab: That too by shaking her hands.

Says everyone by gritting their teeth and also throwing fire through their eyes. Unable to hear much of stupid talks from this overprotective group bulbul says,

Bulbul: What that too... that too? Please guys don't make her sad by your over protectiveness.

All of them gets calm after hearing bulbul. But abhi's action adds fuel to the burning fire. Abhi says...

Abhi: Sorry but I don't have the habit of wishing others by empty hand. But.... Wait I have this.

Says after taking a big chocolate from his bag and forward it to her and continues,

Abhi: If you don't mind,can you accept this as my gift.

Says cutely whereas Pragya was smiling widely because that was her favourite chocolate. Not only for that, because he is the first person wished her and who gave her a gift first this year. More importantly other than her family members no one wished her first. So it's really special to her. Without wasting a second she grabbed that chocolate and says him,

Pragya: Thank you for your first wish and your first gift. Do you know, it's my favourite one. No-one wished me in my life with this gift. Thanks alot.

This made Arora's anger to arose on him. Though his first meeting with Pragya was nice one but not with Aroras. Pragya's thanking session came to end when she heard disha's voice, who is trying to make the situation in control.

Disha: Ms. Princess atleast now please come and cut the cake.

She hits her forehead not only for forgetting the cake cutting and also for making her family to wait. She takes quick steps towards them but suddenly stopped and turned back and looked at him asks,

Pragya: "Won't you eat the cake. It's my favourite chocolate cake. Do you like it?" asks him excitedly.

Abhi: Sorry but I don't like chocolate cakes. I like vani...

Before he could complete both of them heard roars from Aroras

Aroras: But she likes chocolate.

Says everyone in unison. It's like a warning to everyone but our poor Abhi didn't understand this and looking at them innocently.

Pragya: Don't mind them. But how can I accept your gift without giving cake to you. See it's my birthday atleast you have to eat some chocolate. You wait here I will buy you one...

Her words were cut off in middle by his words,

Abhi: I am really sorry. But I have to submit some documents to principal before class starts. Hope you don't mind.

Hearing this her face falls. Seeing her sad face he felt really bad for making her sad on her birthday so he says,

Abhi: Don't be sad please. If you want you can give me any punishment, since we were studying in the same college.

Hearing his words she smiled mischievously and asks him,

Pragya: Will you do whatever I say? No back off ok.

Abhi: Ok done. I won't back off.

Pragya: Pakka. I mean pinky promise.

Says like a kid by showing her little finger. He smiles at her and entwined his little finger with her's and says,

Abhi: Pinky promise. Ok now I have to leave. Bye.

Saying so he went from there. Pragya looked at everyone and squeals like a kid and says, " dad, bhaiya did you hear what he said? He will accept my punishment. I am so excited dad, for the first time I am going to punish someone with his permission. Hey, I am so happy dad!!"

Seeing her happy smiling face The Aroras forgot what has happened a while ago. Rishi says,

Rishi: Now my princess is so happy right?

Pragya: yes I am soooo happy.

RV: Now come on, come and cut the cake with the same happiness princess. See bulbul is waiting eagerly for the cake.

Everyone chuckled hearing him whereas bulbul says,

Bulbul: yes I am waiting. Come on Pragya.

Hearing her everyone laughed. After the cake cutting, she feeds everyone happily. After that everyone went to their respective business.

After finishing his documents work with principal Abhi went to his class. As soon as he entered the class, everyone looked at him as if they saw some alien. For them Abhi is an exception, because they know no one can near Pragya when her brothers were with her. Abhi looked at them and took his seat in the middle bench after giving his most charming smile to everyone. Suddenly he noticed pin drop silence in the class, so he shifted his head towards the door because he thought that it might be professor. But the silence is not because of the professor it's because of Arjun and Purab who entered the class as usual by giving a cold look to everyone. Seeing them he identified that they both were at the birthday celebration, so he smiled at them. But to his dismay both didn't even give him a look, directly went towards the last bench and took their seats. Soon the professor arrived and starts to take classes after the introduction of students. Abhi was listening the class while Arjun and Purab observing him keenly. They thought Abhi is somewhat different from other boys, so they wanted to know about his intentions. At lunch time, Abhi went to canteen and finished his lunch. When he was on the way to his class, he saw Arjun and Purab came running towards him in full force. But they crossed him and entered inside the nearby class. Bulbul, who came there just now saw Abhi, who was looking at the way both went confusingly.

Bulbul: What are you doing here?

He turned to her and answers her question,

Abhi: Nothing. Just seeing them with confusion. Actually what happened to them?

Bulbul: Do you know them?

Abhi: Yeah I know them. We are in the same class. That's it. Nothing much about them.

Bulbul: oh...so answer to your question is, they both were little worried now. It's all about their princess. She got a small scratch on her hand. That's why both were reacting like this.

Abhi: for a small scratch?

Asks Abhi unbelievably. Bulbul understood his confusion and about to tell something but interupted by Disha who heard their conversation and came out of the class and says,

Disha: Yes for all it's a small scratch but not for her brothers. They were protective towards her. Since today no one dare to near her because of her brothers but you are an exception.

Said Disha by crossing her arms across her chest.

Abhi: So? what should I do now?

Bulbul: Just stay away from her, if you don't want to see your broken legs then. Nothing much.

Abhi: sorry miss I can't. I never break my promise.

Disha and bulbul: means?

Abhi: Means... You both were there right? So you guys would have heard my promise to her that I will accept her punishment. Remember?

Bulbul: "seriously? you want to bear the punishment?" asks bulbul unbelievably.

Abhi: don't worry. They won't break my legs.

Disha: I was right you are really different.

Abhi: yeah that I am. Well, I am leaving now. It's time for class. Catch you later.

Saying so he started to move from there but stopped hearing bulbul and Disha voice.

Bulbul and Disha: Can we call you as bhai?

Hearing this Abhi's heart filled with unknown happiness and his eyes brimmed in joy. Because for the first time in his life someone asked him to be their brother. He smiled widely and turned towards them and says,

Abhi: sorry I can't.... Because I don't know your name. Then how can I answer if someone asked about my sisters name?

Both smiled hearing him and says him their names. After hearing their names Abhi went from there after bidding bye to them. For Disha and bulbul, they always wanted a elder sibling who is fearless, cool and different from others. So they reluctantly accepted Abhi as their elder brother, since they found those qualities in Abhi.

The screen freezes on Abhi's contented face...
