Dreams Woven Beautifully ✔️

Chapter - 42 Birthday, the Malhotra Way !

From now on, the real essence of the book will be felt. 

Get ready for twists & turns. I will skip months & time, so please don't get bothered with the real stuff. 

Finals from next month, so after Apr 19, I'm kinda free. This book is my baby & thus I would give my 100% to it & it may hopefully end this year ;) 

Its going to be a long journey, hope you stay with me!

[Alia's POV]

"Thank you so much!" 

For the umpteenth time today, I'm engaging with the audience down stage. 

Yes, our shoot for K&S is over. 

Promotions have already kickstarted and its going to get over soon. Truly a memorable journey it was. The entire cast became my second family and the whole set, my new home. Every single person of this project, made my days of shooting, too much special. Dharma movies are meant to be special.

Currently at Delhi, Hotel Radisson to be precise. The film is slated to release on 18th March. On 16th, we would have a grand screening preview for our family, friends & colleagues. Today is Wednesday, like any other normal day. And tomorrow is Thursday. 

Normal right ? 

Yeah, but 22 years back, in Santacruz Hospital, amidst the havoc of Mumbai Riots, in 1993, I came landing! Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday! 

Phew... grown up eh! 

Well, my heart is still an infant.

Since the beginning of promotions in march, I've been wished in advance by the numerous people we met. So many cakes have been cut & ravished by our hungry tummies. For me birthdays are like any other normal day. I don't give much preference to its grandeur. I prefer working birthdays. Its a more productive way of managing your born day! 

In short, no fantasy for tomorrow. 

"Let's get moving" we heard Shakun motioning us to depart to our rooms. We made our ways through the whistling crowd. Some waved huge banners at us and I could spot birthday wishes for me. I smiled in gratitude at their careful thought. Boys resigned for their respective rooms and so did I. Dipping my weight into my mattress, I thought to arrange my dress for the next event.

[Sid's POV]

"No yaar. I want it to be pink. Now what is baby pink ? Baccho waala ?!" 

"Oh-ohkay! And that flower in the bottom should look great. And oh, that miniature phone stuff should be precise. Hmm..fine. It should be done by 9 today. I will collect it by sharp 9!" sighs. 

Its no secret that tomorrow is Alia's birthday. We so wanted to surprise her with a treat straight on 15th i.e tomorrow but these promotional sponsors spoiled our plans. Since the start of our promotions, they ordered huge frosted cakes for her, wished her in advance & even today we celebrated.

Surely she isn't wishing for more treats. 

My dialer ID screamed 'Akansha'. 

This girl is going to irritate me more! 

"Hey akku." 

"Sid! you better tell me that the cake is ready. I want it to be special for my bae" she huffed.
