Back to the story📖!

PRAG'S POV!

As per the planning, we mixed the sleeping pills 😴💊 in his drink. Thank god! Everything was fine till now!

Within few minutes, he dozed off. We made him sleep properly in the couch which is in the home theater room. Then we went to his room. Yes, we planned to arrange everything in his room. That'll be more thrilling and fun😋.

Madhu and bulz started to decorate the room with some balloons🎈. And they arranged our photos frames hanging in his room. They took responsible for the room arrangements.

Rk and Jaan started to invite their friends both old and new. They also took the responsibility for food🍴🍕🍔, cake🎂 and snacks 🍿🍮🍧.

I was in the charge for gifts. I called them everyone. They came.

"See everyone! As per our plan, I'm in the charge for gifts🎁! So everyone please share your thoughts for me to buy it." I said.

"Prags! I'll send a pic of watch⌚. I want exactly like that. Okay? Don't care about price!" Rk said in which I nodded.

"Prags! I want you to buy a miniature of Ducati  V4 R Superleggara bike 🏍 which is the brand new version of Ducati bikes." Bulz said.

"I want you to buy a white shirt 👔 and skyblue jeans👖. I'll send a pic for your easy understanding." Madhu said.

"Baby! I want you to buy AKG K52 headphones🎧." Jaan said.

"No need to note mine. I'm coming with you!" Ashu said. I smiled.

"Ok guys! Everything noted! If you want anything else means, just send a msg with a missed call. Okay? And remember! He'll be up in 4-6 hours. So hurry up guys and the most difficult part of our plan is afterward only." I said they all nodded with a smile.

Then me and ashu went to shopping. We roamed around many shops. Literally my legs felt numb. After 3 and half hours, we bought everything they asked. But still we didn't buy which ashu and me going to give him.

Now we are in a shopping mall. Ashu went to search for whatever he need to buy for abhi. I'm also in same condition now. I don't know what to buy. But I took small amount of money which I saved from my part time job. Finally, I bought a pen which is the most important thing for a lyricist. That's Pilot dr grip pen🖊.

Ashu came with a Zoom H1n recorder 📼.

Our gifts are ironic ryt?!

Pen for writing lyrics! and Recorder for recording lyrics!

I shrugged off my thoughts. Then we went to coffee shop. We both didn't ate lunch. Time was already past 3. I ordered tea and he ordered coffee.

"Rasgulla! I'm eagerly waiting for today night! I want to see abhi's face! I'm sure, it will be priceless!" He said dramatically.

"When is your b'day? Mine will be in 2 months oct 30!" He asked me.

Then only I remember I don't know my b'day actually. I didn't celebrate b'day. The day when the orphanage home found me was considered as my b'day. I went to temple that day every year. Till I don't know about my original b'day date.

"Oyee!! Where you lost?" He waved his hand in front of my face making me came out of my thoughts.

"Uh!! Sorry! I don't know my birthday date. I should ask Jaan!" I said. He saw me confused. Then I narrated my whole story.

"Oh my goodness! I'm really sorry rasgulla! I didn't mean to hurt you." He said sincerely.

"Oh! That's not a big deal! Leave it yaar!  Shall we move?" I asked him. He nodded.

"Hello! I didn't expect you two here!" Shaina came towards us waving her hand with a bright face but frowned little seeing me.

"Hey hii shaina! What are you doing here?" Ashu asked her in a surprised tone.

"Just for shopping! And you two were alone or everyone is there?" She asked like expecting the latter part.

"No shaina! We are alone! Actually we came for gift shopping!" Ashu excitedly said. She arched her eyebrows connecting into a furrow with confusion and questioning. "Gift shopping?!" She asked.

"Yeah! Oops sorry! You don't know ryt? Let me tell you. Tomorrow is abhi's b'day. So we all are planning for a surprise. Everyone was busy in arrangements, so we came for gift shopping!" Ashu said in a go with a shrug at last.

She thought deeply before answering. "Would you mind if I join you in this surprise?" She asked with a sweet smile showing her puppy dog eyes.

"Wow! That'll be awesome!" He said like a child who excited for a cartoon show. But I frowned about what will be her plan!

"Wait for 10 mins! I'll purchase my gift and will come with you. Okay?" She asked. We nodded. Then she came after purchasing her gift whatever god knows!

Then we went to home and told about shaina in our plan. Everyone was happy about her joining but me.

We wrapped every gifts in giftpaper. So we showed them the pics of them. But I didn't wrap my gift.

I excused myself from them and went to my home saying that I'm going to check mii. I started packing my gift along with a letter. Because I can't tell him whatever I want in person. So I wrote a letter to convey my wishes for him. Then I went to his home hiding the letter.

That time everything was almost completed. But what our fear is he can be up in any time now. Time was now past 5. We went to home theater room grabbing some things to eat. We checked him, he was still asleep. We felt relieved😌.

Then we started to watch some comedy movies and shows. At 5.30, he stirred from the sleep. We looked each other horrified. We don't know what to tell him or what to do next!

He opened his eyes slowly. "Ah! My head!" He sat helding his head with his hand.

"What happened abhi? Any problem?" Jaan asked him like innocent kid.

"My head is paining like hell! What the hell you gave me in the name of juice!" He groaned.

"That's just a juice abhi! Nothing else! See! We too drank that. Now we all are fine. You fell asleep within 20 mins of watching movie. We thought that you are tired till now because of culturals. So only we didn't wake you up" Ashu told.

"What time is it now?" He asked plainly.

POV ends.

Abhi's POV!

I opened my eyes slowly with a heavy pain in my head. I felt heavy as well as hungry. I don't know what the hell happened! I remember only the juice which I drank before become unconscious.

When I opened my eyes and lifted my head to see, I was confused and shocked to see them all in the same position.

Did I just took a small nap?

I asked them about the damn juice which makes me Drizzy I guess. They looked at each other like a deer caught in red light which increased my suspicion more. And to adding more and more puzzle, shaina was also there.

I didn't remember that she joined us!🙄 when did she came?

Then I asked the question which occupied my mind since I woke up.

"What time is it now?" They looked at each other.

"Calm down bhai! Time is just past 5." Bulz said which the last part came as almost like a whisper. I widened my eyes in pure shock.

Did I slept for more than 5 hours! What happened to me! Did I transformed into a sloth or what!

"What the hell!"  I cursed. Within 10 mins, chashmish came with a cup of tea and a painbalm.

Ahh! This is what I really want! Tea is just made from heaven to wipe away the stress of humans!

I took that and sipped it. I took deep breaths to calm myself. They all acted weird but I was too lazy to think over that. After my tea, bulz massaged my temples with painbalm. That relaxed me more.

After that, they literally dragged me down to hall. They said that we'll play something. Ashu gave the idea of truth or dare. Everyone accepted without a 'no'.

Strange! Rk is the biggest foe for this game! But he too accepted without showing tantrums!

We sat in a round like me, ashwin, rk, purab, chashmish, shaina, madhu, bulz(besides me)

"The rule of the game is the one whose side bottle stops should answer everyone's question if they chose truth or should do whatever we give as a task if they chose dare! That's it! Ready guys?" Mickie told in which everyone nodded.

He spinned the bottle that first stops at Mickey! He whined "Is this bottle stopped at me in first! Ok fine shoot ur questions. I chose truth!"

Bulz: Any girlfriends till now?

Ashu: fortunately or unfortunately it's a No!

Eyeryone said 'oh no! Poor boy!' In chorus dramatically. He showed his puppy dog face which made everyone laugh at him.

Madhu: Any proposals?

Ashu: yes! I got 3! One from school final year who was my class mate. One from neighbor girl just 6 months back. One from my clg a month back.

Shaina face fell hearing this. Others gave Aww reaction.

Prags: what is love and friendship in your point of view?

Ashu: both are the feelings which makes realize we are humans and not animals. In my view, friendship and love is like sympathy and empathy. Sympathy is a shared feeling, usually of sorrow, pity or compassion for another person which is like FRIENDSHIP. Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of another and understand someone else's feelings by identifying with them which is like LOVE.

*claps*

Everyone clapped👏 including chashmish. She saw him admiring which made me restless. He bowed in front of everyone dramatically.

Wait! I too give a speech better than this when my time comes😏!

Abhi! You are being childish!

I know! you shut up!

Purab: favorite hobbies?

Ashu: yeah! Eating and sleeping!

Everyone laughed at his answer.

Me: do you love anyone?

I waited for his answer impatiently.

Ashu: yes!

Me: who?

My heart beat started raising! I prayed every god not to tell that's my chashmish!

Huh! From when you started praying god? Isn't you agnostic?

Ahh! Will you please stop pestering me!

Ashu: rule is only one question buddy!

He winked at me. I rolled my eyes. Everyone laughed.

Rk: Tell one of your most embarrassing situation!

Interesting😜!

Ashu: that's so mean! (He pouted, everyone shouted to tell him)
Well okay! I'll tell then! When I was in London, my friend isabella asked me to pick up his cousin from airport. I went there and picked him up and dropped him in Belle's home. He talked with me really sweet. After 2 weeks, he asked me to come to his home and I went there. But there he proposed me kneeling down in front of me. I was beyond embarrassed. Then after I explained him that I was straight, he behaved like heart broken girl. Huh!

Everyone burst into laughter! I was literally ROFL!!! 🤣🤣

Shaina: who's the one you love?

Smart girl!

Ashu: ouch! You got me! I'll not tell her name. Because I didn't even proposed her. She is indian only. And her name is ended with A.

I started thinking! Well! Chashmish is not ended with A ryt?

Idiot! Her name is Pragya! It ended with A!

Oh no! What the heck!

(Purab's mind voice :

Bulbul is not ended in A! Thank god!

Hell! Her full name is Bulbul Mehra! And it ended with A!!

Damn!!)

(Rk's mind voice:

Madhubala is also ended with A!

Did he mean her! No! I have enough competitors! Not one more!)

( Shaina's mind voice:

S H A I N A! Wow my name is ended with A! Did he mean me!

Wait! P R A G Y A! Hell! Her name also ended with A!)

MIND VOICES OVER! BACK TO ABHI'S POV!

"Ashu! It's cheating yaar! Most of the girl's name ended with A only!" Bulz whined. He shrugged.

Again he started to play. Everyone got the chance to choose truth or dare. Some answers are really unexpected and great.

In chashmish's turn, Ashwin asked her to tell about her love or crush. She told that 'the same A thing' she told her secret crush or love or whatever she didn't mentioned, but said that his name also started with A. I was happy at the moment but it turned to frown when I remembered Ashwin's name. I shrugged it off. Then she told about her favorite color which is red and hobby listening music. When we asked about love, she told that

'It is one of the best and worst feeling in this world. In love, the funny thing is we EXPECT our heart NOT TO EXPECT love or attention from the other the same way we did. Well! Expectations fails everytime ryt? May be, That's why our expectations from our heart also fails in love.

Involuntarily or unconsciously we expect things in love. Some will say true love doesn't expect anything. But the truth is we expect or at least longed them to love us back. At some point, we started hating ourselves when we didn't get back the love we longed or expected.

In my opinion, love is like SHADOW AND SUNSHINE. Ironic ryt? But it's true. Sometimes it will like shadow which accompany us to anywhere and everywhere we go, but left us alone in darkness. That time it will act as sunshine which kicks off the darkness in our life.

Love can make someone knowledgeable and insane at the same time. It can make one powerful and can break them into several pieces.

Simply saying, It is one of the wonder which we can't explain and only express!'

She said this in a go. I was like lost somewhere in her speech. It's true totally.

Damn! I need the whole love from her man! I want her love only for me! She is mine! Her love will only be mine!

Then after that, in purab's turn. He choose dare. We told him to dance funnily. Actually his dance itself is funny! LOL😂😂😂.

Madhu also chose dare. We told her to make some snacks for us. She did it and it was delicious😋✨.

Well! Bulz also chose dare. We told her not to talk for 15 mins. Guess what! She started talking in the 6th minute. So we told her to eat chilles as punishment. She pouted and cried aftet eating half chilly. Such a drama queen!🤭

Rk chose truth but didn't answered properly. So we asked him to cat walk like girls. He did! We already ROTFL 🤣!

Shaina chose truth, she anwered decently. She tried to confess indirectly when we asked about her crush. But it failed miserably because ashu didn't noticed it.

I chose dare. Because I know everyone will shoot their questions like hell. They asked me to play guitar🎸 for someone special in my heart. I played the song.

KINNA SONA song from MARJAAVAAN (for north indian readers)

LATJAVATHIYE ENNA ASATHURA RATHIYE song from 4 STUDENTS (for tamilian readers)

They started teasing me about who the girl is. I somehow managed by saying that's my dream girl.

After that we ate dinner. Time was 30 past 10 already. I asked them whether they are staying here. They said yes. They didn't allow me to go to my room for even for freshen up. That's so weird! Ryt?

They said we all can go to terrace and chit chat for sometime. We chit chatted for more that one and half hours. Purab stood immediately like he remembered something.

"Abhi! Get up man! It's already late. We have to sleep ryt? Go to your room!" He said hastily and literally dragged me to my room. When I opened my room. The clock dinged showing past 12. And I opened the room.

I'm speechless!

TO BE CONTINUED!

THANK YOU FOR VOTING AND SHARING YOUR COMMENTS!

HOPE I DIDN'T DISAPPOINT YOU WITH ABHI'S SURPRISE B'DAY PARTY.

PRECAP!

I was lying in my bed when puru knocked. He came inside and sat besides me.

"What happened jaan? Is anything problem?" I asked with concern.

"I want to ask you one thing which is bothering me. U r acting weird recently." He said. "No! What are you saying? What is meant by acting weird!" I said.

"Don't hide pragya! I know something or someone is bothering you! What is it?" He asked me and for the first time he called me by my name which means he is utter serious.

"Wha.. What are you telling? I.. I don't know!" I stammered. "Pragya please! For God's sake! Then answer the questions. Why you cried at culturals? Why and where you left after receiving our prizes? What happened when we went for shopping and why you stammered that day while talking about that? Who the hell called you when we were in rk's home that you lied to that person and stumbled while answering?" He threw the questions like bomb one by one.

"Abhishek" was the only word that came from my mouth. He gasped. "What?!! What's with him!??" He asked with shock!.

"I.. I love him" I said..
