G 1.25

"Ansh.... Ansh..... Champ get up" said Sanskar shaking Ansh who was sleeping hugging him. He looked at the watch and it showed 3 minutes to 12. He looked again and again at the clock and tried to wake up Ansh. "Kya hai chachu. Sone do na" said Ansh in sleepy tone. "Champ don't you remember what did we plan?" asked Sanskar. "Chachu please" said Ansh pouting. "Get up champ" said Sanskar making Ansh sit. He dialed a number and waited.
"Ahhh. Whose calling at this time? Annoying people doesn't even have a common sense when to call?" said Ragini looking at her vibrating phone. She struggled a lot to recognize the number with her blur vision. "Unknown number? Who will call me at this time?" said Ragini yawning and got up from the bed and received the call and said "Hello" in drowsy voice. "Ansh" whispered Sanskar shaking Ansh who was sitting with closed eyes. "Chachu..." cried Ansh annoyed. "Ansh?" asked Ragini surprised. "Hmmm? Hmmm Ragu dee" said Ansh half awake. "Ansh? You are calling at this time? Are you okay bacha. Ananya teekh tho hai na?" asked Ragini worried. "Wait I will come there" said Ragini picking her dupatta.

Sanskar who was smiling at her concern towards Ansh and Ananya jerked and said "No.... No Ragini" Ragini stopped. "I mean Ansh wanted to tell you something that's all and nothing to worry both are fine" said Sanskar. Ragini sighed and relaxed and sat on the bed and said "Thank God. Ansh what did you wanted to say. That too at this time bacha?" Ansh was drooling feeling sleepy. "Ansh" whispered Sanskar shaking him. Ragini shrank her eyebrows trying to listen what Ansh and Sanskar were talking. "Hmmm? Ragu dee wo" said Ansh and stopped and closed his eyes. "Ansh?" said Ragini again. Ansh jerked and said "Happy birthday Ragu dee. Now good night. And chachu I finished saying. Now don't wake me up again" said Ansh and fell on the bed and dozed off. Sanskar hit his head with his phone. He looked at the phone and kept the phone near his ear. Ragini who was surprised due to Ansh's wishes and was nervous what to speak. There was a long awkward silence between them. It felt like they were new love birds and were nervous to talk after confessing the love. "Hello" both of them said at the same time. Both smiled blushing. "Hmmm?" said Ragini continuing. "Wo wo Ansh was not listening only he wanted to wish you first" said Sanskar explaining. "Hmmm that's okay." said Ragini calmly. The cool breeze was increasing anxiety of their hearts which were beating in sync. Again awkward silence. "Okay. I will talk to Ansh in the morning" said Ragini and was about to disconnect the call. "Hello hello Ragini" said Sanskar swiftly. Ragini's heart fluttered with joy listening her name from his voice. "Hmmm" said Ragini lost. "Happy birthday" said Sanskar smiling widely. Ragini's lips curved into a wide smile. She closed her eyes blushing. "Thank you" said Ragini calmly. The cool moon outside which made her face shine was cooling her racing heart. Sanskar's heart was dancing listening her calm voice. "And" said Sanskar gathering all his courage. "And?" asked Ragini curious biting her lower lip. "I.... I love you" said Sanskar hesitant and disconnected the call. Ragini widened her eyes shocked. Her eyes were ready to jump from her eye socket. Her heart stopped for a second. She looked at her phone shocked and found it disconnected. "Mental shameless Maheshwari" said Ragini and moved to her bed. She lied on the bed and Swara encircled her hand around Ragini's neck in sleep. Ragini hugged Swara and looked at the ceiling. She remembered Sanskar's kiddish behavior and smiled a bit. She nodded her head in disbelief and closed her eyes and dozed off. Somewhere in sky Vikram was smiling with tearful eyes looking at Ragini's smile.
Sanskar fell on his bed blushing. He dragged Ansh and hugged him and dozed off smiling. Somewhere in sky Pari smiled through her tears placing her head on Adarsh's shoulder looking at Sanskar's smile.

My Shona bacha remembered my birthday wow this is my best birthday first that ghanchakkar Maheshwari wished me and my Shona bacha remembered my birthday" "Ghanchakkar Maheshwari?" asked Swara. Ragini then realized what she just spoke and bit her tongue. "Ohho shona bacha how much you will talk. I'm getting late. Have food on time and don't trouble maa ok. Bye. Maa Bye" said Ragini and headed out of her home. "Hey Bhagvan what is wrong with me?" said Ragini blushing and hitting her forehead slightly. She jerked when a person holding boquet stood in front of her suddenly. The person slightly lowered the boquet. Ragini found Yohan smiling holding the bouquet. "Oye Khajur. You know how much I got scared?" said Ragini panting. "Happy Birthday my Rapenzul" said Yohan smiling. "Oh you remembered?" asked Ragini surprised. Before he could speak Ragini's phone buzzed. She excused herself and picked the call. "Happy Birthday Rockstar....." screamed Dayal and Kavya from other side. Ragini jerked and held the phone a bit away from her ear and closed her eyes smiling. "How did you know?" asked Ragini excited. "Leave all that. You are gonna meet me today evening. And that's my birthday gift" said Kavya. "Oh Hello birthday is mine okay" said Ragini. "Tho. I got up at 7 o clock to wish on your birthday. That's my birthday gift for you" said Kavya proudly. Ragini smiled and nodded her head in disbelief. "Okay meri maa. I will meet you today. Happy?" asked Ragini. "Princess" called Yohan. "Okay Kavi meet you in the evening" said Ragini disconnecting the call. Kavya felt a bit strange feeling but brushed her thoughts.
