Chapter start
****************

London, time 11:50 pm.

The doorbell of the flat in which Ansh lives rings, and Ansh who was still awake and busy with his books starts wondering who could it be at this time ?

He was just wearing trousers and nothing on top but now, before opening the door, he comes out of the room wearing a T-shirt over himself and passes through the hall and reaches the door.

He opens the door : But as soon as he opens the door he cannot believe his eyes that the person he is seeing is really her : And before he could say anything, he sees that the person is none other than Advaita and she immediately steps forward and hugs him and he gets shocked. His heart beats faster due to her action.

Whereas Advaita has a happy smile on her face and her eyes are moist too, Seeing him after almost 6 months, and she couldn't stop herself and did what her heart told her to do, she hugged him.

Advaita, moving her hand on his back, takes her fingers through his hair and she tries in every way to feel him close to her by hiding her face in his neck

And there, Ansh suddenly having this new experience, feeling someone so close to him, he is unable to understand what he should do and at first he really couldn't believe that this girl had reached here.

" Please hold me." He hears her request in her stuttered voice and unconsciously his hand moves from her waist to her back where he just rests his hand but she feels that at least he listened to her request and hugged her back.

" I missed you so much." She says and for some reason, Ansh is able to feel that her eyes are moist, saying this even though he is unable to see her face but he gets shocked when he feels his eyes getting wet, he also feels his throat choking, but he gets confused as to what is happening to him, why is his body suddenly reacting so strangely?

" Happy birthday, my love." She says and now Ansh finally understands the reason for her coming here, did she really come here for him, for this day of his? he thinks.
Today is his twenty-fifth birthday.

But now first of all gulping he composes himself and stops the tears from flowing from his eyes and maintains his stern face.

And there, Advaita does nothing further, but after wishing him on his birthday and after hugging him for about 8 to 10 minutes, she comes back to normal from her emotional state and takes a breath and separates herself from him and looks at him.

" Happy birthday, Ansh." She says it again to which he looks at her

"Thank.....you." He says haltingly and then he lets her in with her belongings that she had left on the floor before hugging him, and then he closes the door.

Well, it's been almost 6 months since Ansh came here, and today is his 25th birthday which is a special number.

And for this special day, his family planned to come here but when they came to know that Advaita was going, everyone cancelled their plan thinking that this year, perhaps these two need to spend more time together.
And Advaita did not know that Ansh's family had planned something like this otherwise she would not have come alone, she just spoke to Aarav to get Ansh's address here, and when Aarav told this to everyone in his house, they cancelled their plan and let her go alone.

And today everyone has already wished Ansh according to their country's time, when it was 12 midnight in India, it was 7:30 in London but still everyone wished Ansh by doing a family video call and at that time, Ansh requested everyone to not stay awake to wish him according to the time here because when it is 12 o'clock here, it will be 4:30 in the morning in India.
