Once Again First Love

Ria's Birthday...

Its Ria birthday, Kayal woke up little early than usual and she already took leave for office. She was preparing everything for Pooja, and breakfast. There is a small party at garden in evening, where only few guests are invited. She went to woke up Ria. She slowly wished her 'Happy Birthday' and blessed her to be happy and health with long live. She bath her and made her wear traditional dress which she bought for her. Its not bought in big store but she got with her salary and Ria looked like a princess in the dress. She kept a black dot at her chin to avoid bad omen. Seeing Ria everyone wished Happy Birthday and Ria was laughing and took blessing from everyone as Kayal told. 

Everyone waited for Arjun to start the Pooja and Priya is still sleeping. Priya came to know its Ria birthday 2 days before, but she still went to party last night and came home late. Arjun came down and picked her daughter and kissed her in his forehead and wished Happy Birthday. He praised how her daughter look like a princess and looked at Kayal for a moment. Both Kayal and Ria, wore matching color and looked like cute mom and daughters. Its Latha's idea, while shopping.  Priest asked Ria to sit with her parents and started the pooja. Arjun went with Ria and sat , where Kayal was little reluctant and stand there. Kayal was worried what if Priya saw them together and hesitated. Latha forced her to sit next to  Arjun. Everyone is happy to see the happy moments. Pooja went fine and everyone had their breakfast, and men's went to office to take care of important work and will be back before party. 

Priya came out at her usual time and seeing the preparations questioned Sharada ma. Latha replied stating how she forgot her own daughter birthday and she should be ashamed to be a mother. Priya said sorry as she is not felling well and looked for Ria. Seeing Ria playing with Kayal she forcefully took Ria from Kayal and hugged Ria to wish her. Ria started crying as the pull made her little scare. Couldn't able to bear her crying she left Ria with Kayal and excused herself. Kayal took Ria and asked to not to cry and said Priya is also a good person and not to get scare of her. Ria just nodded and continued to play. Kayal was worried whether she is thinking selfish to leave this little kid thinking about only herself and what Arjun want. Does she really know what Arjun want?

In evening, guest started to arrive for party and Ria dressed in the beautiful peach color dress Kayal bought and look like an angel. Kayal dressed her and did her hair where Ria is always obedient before Kayal. Kayal wore a saree and was standing in a corner to not to be noticed by guest. Foods are prepared by best chef and she is continuously watching Ria. She already told Ria to be a good girl and not to look for her and play with everyone. Arjun came and took Ria, where Priya joined them holding his hand. Arjun felt little uncomfortable and everyone seeing them thought the news must be true that they have united again. Latha didn't like it and was looking for Kayal. Seeing Kayal in corner and helping in the party, she called her to come and stand next to her at least as no one will notice her presence. Latha said to her, that what they are doing is wrong, but she don't have to stand like this when she is actually a member. Kayal said she is really fine and not to worry about her and take care of the guest. Latha went her asking to come to stage, but seeing Arjun, Ria and Priya she felt sad and thought this is what Arjun want and Ria will be happy with her mom and forget about her.

Ria cut the cake and everyone sing the birthday song. Ria was searching for Kayal and keep on asking Arjun for Kayal by repeating words "ma". Arjun made some excuse and asked her to look around where there are so many gifts, and balloons and her ma will be soon. Priya didn't try to take care of Ria, instead she cling to Arjun and pose for Photos. Likewise the birthday party came to end and guest started to leave. Priya parents also came making Priya as excuse and Ria is still their granddaughter. Priya father's company is little struggling, so he expects some help for Arjun on contracts to overcome the crisis. But Arjun understand their motive and kept their talk short and moved from them to attend other guest. They said something to Priya and left. All resumes to room, when Kayal came and took Ria and asked about how she enjoyed the party. Ria was very happy and explained how she got so many gifts and excited to open all. Kayal asked her to sleep and the gifts can be opened tomorrow.
