Saket is surprised

Jo was having a really tough time alone in NY. She wished Saket was there with her. But he wasn't, and if she had to vote, she'd vote against it.

He called her up daily, like a good boyfriend would, but she spoke very less. She still had the same thing on her mind, death. Saket wasn't her boyfriend, but he behaved like one. A boyfriend, a best friend and sometimes even a parent.

Jo liked it, but she never told him. 'That'll just encourage him to love me even more.' she thought, 'Besides, I'm not even lovable.'

It took her quite a while to adjust with NY and its ways. Quite different from her hometown. The culture was so different from that of India. She cried very often, and attended college red and puffy-eyed almost every single day.

One day, she called Saket. "I'm coming to India for a 3 week vacation. My flight is next week." she told. "Wow!! That's great! I'll be coming to take you babe. I can't wait to see you!" he said, excitedly.           "Me too." 

"So babe, what do you want for your birthday? You're coming next week which means you'll be here for your birthday!! Its gonna be special. Your first birthday we'll celebrate together, right? And its your 19th birthday? Naughty nineten, eh?"

"Nothing. You're gonna be with me, what else?"

"Oh come on, you've got to ask for something. Or shall I just choose?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

A week passed by quickly. Jo was finally going to go back to her family.Her Saket. The only unexpected thing was that she wasn't half as excited as Saket was. Why was that so?

[ Saket is going to get the shock of his life, can you guess what it could be? I hope that th story isn't getting predictable...]
