Kartik (happily) - yeah why not..... I got it for you only..... I would be more than happy if you accept it......

She took the gift smiling and opened it..... It had a teddy bear..... Seeing that she became nervous.... Maybe because it was the first time she had been given such gift..... Because of all this she by mistake dropped the gift and heared a voice 'Always keep smiling'......

A pure smile was visible on her face she picked it up and hugged it tight......

Naira (being very happy) - that's the best gift I could ever get..... Thank you soo much for this....

Kartik (smiling) - you don't need to thank me..... This smile suits you.....and if I can do something to make you smile I'll definitely do it....

These words were like magic.... Naira again smiled or rather blushed.....

Now they had snacks..... And were ready to leave back for her hostel....

Kartik (while driving) - naira till what time is the entry in your hostel allowed.....

Naira - till 8 pm....

Kartik - it's just 7 now.... Do you wanna go to a park??

Naira - ummm ohk...!

They went to the near by park and sat on the beach.....

They saw a small boy running who was nearly 5 years old..... He then fell down and started crying.... Naira stood up to help that boy but before she could go the child's mother came and hugged that boy and checked his bruises......

Naira (smiling) - lucky boy...!!

Kartik (confused) - lucky boy?? Every mother, parents do that...... They care endlessly for their children......they never leave them alone......

Naira (whispering+looking down) - not every...!!

Kartik - huh?? Naira are you alright..?? Is there something that you want to share??.... Look naira we are friends right..... You can trust me!!

Naira (in a low voice) - I was 8 years old when this happened....!!

Kartik (confused) - what happened??

Naira (in a crying tone +looking down) - when my parents got divorced.....

Kartik got shocked and she continued......

Naira - my parents never showed concern for us.... Me and my sister..... The only way they thought to show love was by increasing our pocket money every month.......my parents had love marriage...... But they didn't have any love between them..... They used to fight on every silly thing..... Small fights once a while are common between couples...... But having major fights almost everyday was a matter of concern.......and me and my younger sister used to be the silent spectators of their fights.......when they got divorced non of them were interested to keep us with them.......so they decided to send us to hostels..... You know I was curious to know if all the children with divorced parents had the similar story..... But I found out that no one had such a story as me and my sister...... All such children were given more care and love..... Then why us??

By now she was crying very hard..... So Kartik just wrapped his arm around her and she immediately started sobbing hugging him tight.....

She then continued.....

Naira (crying) - you know Kartik I got 99.2 % in my 12 th board.... But none of my parents know that..... They are not even bothered to know..... And you know why I behaved soo rudely with you on my birthday..... That's because I regret being born..... I called my dad on my birthday..... He just asked how was I etc..... But he forgot about my birthday and did not wish me...... That's the reason I got angry and upset and I had taken all my anger out on you.... I am really sorry for that.....

Kartik just deepened the hug and caressed her hair.......

Kartik (soothing her) - shhh.... It's all OK..... Shh....

After a while they broke the side hug and Kartik dropped naira to her hostel.....

Naira (smiling) - happy birthday once again Kartik and thank you soo much!! Thank you so much for this day...! You know you were the first one with whom I shared all this...

Kartik just retreated the smile....

Kartik - always keep smiling naira...!!

He then left back and was feeling very sad..... He never expected that this could ever happen with anyone.....
