"सावन, Saavan; Rainy Season. The word 'Saavan' is derived from the word 'Shravan' which is the fifth lunar month of Hindu Calendar (Usually July-August). Shravan means flowing or river. It was also the name of a character in the great epic 'Ramayana' in which Shravan was a dutiful and devoted son."

"Happy Birthday Vaishnavi."

After seeing my happy expressions, he patted my head endearingly and said those words once again.

Of course, my happiness was because of him wishing me. But there was one more reason to my happiness.

Now no longer being able to control my laughter, I bursted out laughing looking at his face which suddenly turned to confusion.

Laughing madly at the situation, I looked at our table where everyone was now, glaring at Aavyansh who had no idea of what is happening.

'He might be smart in studies, and have a high IQ, but when it comes to EQ, my boy is dumb.'

The smile never leaving my face while I shaked my head at his unbelievable behaviour, I tugged his shirt's shoulder and eyed him to follow to me as after that, I made my way towards our cafeteria's table.

Everyone was now, looking at me with their annoyed gazes. Even Dev looked very irritated, which gave out how passionate and invested they were in doing the 'ignore her and try to behave that you forgot her birthday' prank.

"Dude. You are soo stupid!!"

Now, boy!! Did that made me angry than me being angry after learning about the whole prank think...? Yes!! I don't exactly fancy pranks, but anyways, this isn't about pranks. This is about how Vansh called Aavyansh stupid when he was the one who made me realise of this prank.

Call me hypocrite, for cursing Vansh in my mind when I was also the one who called him dumb. But- URGH!!! I have no reasons or exuse for my anger.

"Oh my dear, Vansh Dumbo!! You are the one who gave out major clues about the prank."

Getting all defensive, is totally not my style. But it felt nice.

Rolling my eyes at him and sitting down on the chair, I thanked the god that I was not being too obvious in chiming in and standing up for Aavyansh as I saw no one had teasing faces except Vansh.

That guy, I am going to kill him someday and feed his flesh to the fishes in the Tarapuram Aquarium. He knew what he did and what I did. He did it purposely.

My and his heated/teasing glances competition got distracted when Priya and Aarya both asked me how did I got their prank.

"Here is a tip for all of you. Create a new WhatsApp group without the people you are pranking or surprising and not discuss it in, in a group where they exist. Thank you."

I said as I drank the water as if it was a cup of a tea. Oh my dramatic self, can not be shut down when I am in advantage. Blame it on my mother if you even get a chance too.

Even though, from their faces it was clear that they understood me and what went down hill from their sides, I decided to continue my monologue. Who can stop me...? No one can actually. And especially not on my birthday. I have to take advantage of my birthday because isn't for that why the birthdays are for.

"First of all, do you think my parents will let me go to the college without having data after learning about how I forgot to check the end date for the same...? No. The first thing my father did, in the morning after picking up his phone was to recharged my phone.

From the morning, I haven't checked my phone because of many messages coming. So I left WhatsApp untouched. But because of this Van, I have to check.

His constant guilty and suspicious stares made me think what if they are doing a prank on me. At first, I really thought you all forgot my birthday. But thank you soo much Vansh."

I sent a flying kiss towards him which he disgusting and angry slapped. What a scene it was, a 18-year old teasing a 17-year old!?! Fantastic!!

After Aarya standing up and giving me hugs while wishing me a happy birthday, everyone did the same except Dev and obviously, Aavyansh. Dude is too shy. But no worries, I am determined to get a hug from him, till the end of the day.

Priya, in fact, jokingly slapped his arms before hugging me. As it was my time to shine, I sent a reading smile with a wiggling eyebrows at him, which was reciprocated by a mouthed 'shut up'. He turned away his head to look at somewhere else to hide his blushing cheeks. But too bad, his neck was bluntly revealing what he was trying to hide. It was almost like his neck saying to him- 'Sorry Sir. But we don't do that here'.

No matter how much cool guy, Vansh appears to be, he is a cutiepie who needs to be protected. Yes, I know I am gushing about him and I also know that this annoying piece of bag, really deserves it.

Breaking free from my thoughts, I looked at Aavyansh who was sitting beside me to see what got him sol engrossed that he was not even noticing my subtle signs of getting his head.

I almost did it all. I even whined to Dev about how he did not hugged me and even got him, that trying to tough guy to hug me. But this guy, who has my heart nowadays, is ignoring my every single sign.

He was looking at somewhere very far, and was just physically there with us. He was mentally somewhere deep inside his brain which is impossible to visit or is impossible to distract.

Sighing internally and all the determination sliding down as if I was a mountain and my expectations were soil/land, I stood up with Aarya as we have lecture together in five minutes, while scolding myself for being such a brat. I also scolded myself for wasting my time on making him hug me and then, crying about how fast the time went away.

Whenever it is my birthday, I have this need to get pampered. The girl, now a women, who is like to be an independent person who can do everything on her own, needs everyone to treat her like a baby when it is her birthday. I, sometimes, even start talking like a baby. And of course, it happens only when I am at home or surrounded by my family. But had to add it up because even though it happens in private, it happens.

And when I do not get the pampering I need, I become whiny.

I should not even have expected anything from him, because let us get this clear. How can you expect someone to do something which you like or love when that person is comfortable doing that...?

That is soo not nice.

But here is the thing, I definitely did not predicted what this Saavan will be soon bringing in for me today, as my birthday present.

Looking up at the sky and finding the dark clouds, I dramatically quoted in my mind without knowing that the universe have something in it's big store for me and him.

'Let's see where does this dark clouds take me.'

"Ye Saavan jo mujhe pe barse,
Sirf tera naam likhke barse,
Tera naam laye muh pe muskaan,
Aur muskaan samjhaye Dil ko,
Tere pyaar."

(English Translation:
"This rain which falls on me,
It falls only after writing your name on those raindrops,
Your name bring smile on face,
And the smile on my face makes my heart understand,
Your love.")
