In a room we see a man in mid  forties is standing in front of a photo and talking to it as if it is real.

"Hey jaan, how are you???I know you must be enjoying there and hearing me daily. You know today Yuvan has turned 18. Damn... my boy has grown up. Itne saal tumhare bina guzarna bohot mushkil tha mere lia. But today I'm very happy. You know why??? 'Cz today I got to know that I'm suffering from 4th stage cancer and to add cherry on the cake, I can't recover from here (chuckles). You must be thinking ke what's there to be so happy about.... but you know Cherry I'm happy in fact I'm the happiest. I'll be there with you soon, I'm coming to you jaan. Tum aaogi na mujhe lene?? Apne Aru ko lene aaogi na Cherry??? (He wiped the lone tear which escaped his eye). Mein jaanta hu tum zrur aaogi. You remember Cherry when you handed me Yuvan, you said he's exactly like me. He has my anger, he's impulsive like me and you said he has a beautiful heart like me. You we're so happy that day when you made me meet Yuvan. But you know what cheery.... I never wanted Yuvan to be like me. I didn't want him to suffer like me, have his loved ones close to himself yet far away. Tum chahti thi na ke mein usse ek acha insaan bnao, meine apna promise poora kiya jaan. Ab tum mujhe maaf krogi na.... ab aur khafa nae rahogi na apne Aru se... (he was badly in tears speaking all this. He wiped his tears and continued). Bs kuch aur din aur phir hum saath mein honge aur iss baar koe humme alag nae krpaega. Yuvan tumhe bohot yaad krta hai Cherry. You know meine usse humare bohot stories sunae pr aaj mein usse vo sach btane vaala hu jo vo jaanna deserve krta hai. Agar tum yaha hoti na toh mujhe zrur rokti, jaanta hu ab bhe tum yhi chaho gi ke mein usse kuch na btao pr vo sach jaana deserve krta hai Cherry. Shayd sb jaane ke baad vo mujhe hate krne lge, mera chehra bhe na dekhna chahe pr mujhe bura nae lgega kyunki meine apni sza bhugatli. 15saal tumse dur raha hu, 15saal se cheen ke neend nae soya hu. Tum chale gae aur mera sb kuch apne saath legae. Pr tum apne dil ka ek tukra chodgae mere lia jiss vjah se ab tk mere saanse chalrahi hai. Mein usse vo diary dene vaala hu aaj aur yahi uska bday gift hai mere taraf se. Tumhara beta tumhare tarah bohot patient insaan hai Cherry, mushkiloon se bhirna ache se jaanta hai vo. Tumhe pta hai usse mere tarah gussa jldi nae aata, jesa tum chahti thi na meine usse vesa insaan bnaya hai. Janta hu... janta hu.... jb vo gussa hota hai toh aage piche kuch nae dekhta pr tumhe iss vaat ko manna hoga ke vo mere tarah jldi gussa nae krta haa.... (he chuckles). Ab toh bs tumhare pass aane ka intezaar hai jaan. Tumhare gunhegaar apni szza bhugat rae hai Cherry. Tum kehti thi na humme kisi se revenge nae lena chahea, usse humara apna khoon he kholta hai.... pr mein tumhare gunhegaaro ko yu khula nae chod skta tha Cherry. Mein tumhare tarah acha nae hu Cherry na he mera dil itna bara hai. Diary pdhne ke baad unke saath kya krna hai vo mein Yuvan pr chod dunga. Kya pta tbtk mein jipao yaa nae.  Acha ab mein chalta hu, Yuvan ke party shuru hone vaali hai. Apna dhyaan rakhna jaan aur tumhara Aru tumse bohot pyaar krta hai.

He wiped his tears and straightening his clothes left the room.

Later at night

In a room a man entered which caught the boy's attention who was already present there.

"Happy birthday once again champ", said a man. "Thank you rockstar", replied his son. They hugged each other and  the man patted his son's back. Both settled on the bed when the boy spoke "Dad you forgot my b'day gift. I'm waiting since morning thinking it might be something which you want only I should see but no worries I don't need anything when I have you".
The boy lay his head in the man's lap. The man happily started ruffling his hair and kissed his forehead.

"You know you are totally lile your mother", the man spoke.

"Ahh... tell me something new dad. I'm hearing this since long", the boy spoke dramatically.

"You are such a dramebaaz haa", said the man. The boy grinned and the man chuckled seeing him.

"Well I did not forget anything son. I do have your gift but before that let's catch up. It has been long since we both have talked", the man spoke earning a nod from his son.

"So tell me who was beautiful girl in your party hmm??", the man spoke in teasing tone.

"Ohh common dad!!!! I don't know who are you talking about", the boy shrugged.

"Arre I'm talking about that beautiful girl or should I say a new face",the man said.

"Rest you horses dad.  Don't make them run so fast that they get tired and then loose all their energy", the boy replied grinning.

"Who do you think was I talking about son??", the man asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Offcourse Radhika dad", he spoke in an obvious tone. The man smirked and spoke "there we're many unknown faces to me in your party buddy. How do you know I was talking about Radhika???"

The boy looked away not able to meet his father's eyes. He sighed and made the boy look at him. "You know you can share it with me Yuvan. You don't need to hesitate at least not with me. I'm your friend more than your father baby", the man tried cajoling his son.

"She is Shrey's cousin dad. She has just returned from San Francisco and is going to start her college with us, a year junior to us. I.... I feel like there's something.... like a force which pulls me towards her. I can't lay my eyes off her. I'm dating Kavya but what I feel for her, I never felt for Kavya. It's like.... totally a new feeling. I... I don't know it's attraction or what but all I know is I don't want to hurt either of them. You and mom have always taught me not to break someone's trust. Kavya trusts me with herself dad and I just can't break it", the boy poured his heart out.

"I suggest you to talk to Kavya about it Yuvan. She's your childhood best friend and I'm cent percent sure she'll understand. Talk to her as her friend not as her boyfriend. If needed take a break okk and now my boy cheerup!!!!", the man spoke. Yuvan smiled hearing him. He looked at him and then hugged him tight. "I love you dad, love you so much. What would I do without you. You won't leave me like mom haina???", asked Yuvan. Hearing him the man travelled to his memory lane remembering that he spoke the same works years ago.

Flashback
"Aru stop crying bacha. Mumma's here baby", a girl trying cajoling her love. "I love you, I love you a lot cherry. You won't leave me ever na???", the boy spoke. His eyes showed how vulnerable he was. The girl kissed his eyes and wiped his tears. "Never", she said.
Flashback ends

Yuvan shook his father bringing him back to the real world. "Huh??", the man asked and looked at Yuvan who was already looking at him. "Tell me na dad. You'll never leave me like mom na???", Yuvan spoke again. The man pecked his forehead and spoke "I don't want you to live in dreams Yuvan and I won't give you any false hope. I can't promise you anything beta. You never knows what turn does your life takes but I can promise to be at your side till my last breathe. Even if I die someday always remember mw and your mom will always ne alive in you, in your heart, in your soul in your memories. You are our blood Yuvan and you'll be an evidence of our existence. You are our proud and our most precious possession".
"Now enough of these emotional talks. Let me bring your gift before your bday ends", he spoke looking at the clock which was stricking 11:55 pm.

"Here's your gift champion", he said giving a diary to Yuvan. Yuvan got up and examined the diary. He looked at his father with questioning eyes. "It's a beautiful love story Yuvan. I want you to read it and may be when you reach the end, you'll know what true love is....", the man saod. Yuvan chuckled nervously and said "Ehh... Are you sure dad??? I mean.... yeah I kove reading stuff here n there but fairytales are not my cup of tea". "Then you should definitely read it son 'cz not a fairytale in which the prince and the princess met, fell in love and happy ending.. naa... it's a love story in which the path leading to rose-love was full of thorns, yet it had sweet yet bitter ending",said the man.

"Okk!!!", Yuvan said a bit excited. "Ehh... Yuvan don't start it now okk", the man said.

"Why??", asked Yuvan.
"I'll tell you when the time comes, till then keep it safe with you", the man spoke, his voice low.

Yuvan nodded still confused and tucking him to bed the man left.
