'Ding-Dong!'

"Coming!...wait here while I check the door, will you?" Nitin answered the sudden doorbell ring and said to Tamaki while leaving the room. Tamaki agreeably nodded.

Nitin ran towards the door and opened it.

Nitin was awstruck. In front of him stood a beautiful lady with wavy black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Before Nitin could even take a closer look...he was hugged by her with excitement.

"Nitin! Long time no see. Missed me? Bet you did...it's been so long... Happy Birthday to you." She said with a sweet and gentle voice yet a voice sprung with happiness.

Nitin grew red all-over.

" Nikki!" A voice interrupted their joyful hug....it was Tamaki.

" Tamaki! Look how you've grown. Oh my...how much more handsome can you get. Hehe...long time no see eh!" Nikki exclaimed overjoyed at the reunion.

" Thank you so much Nikki. Never thought you would actually arrive...don't take it otherwise...it's just that I did not expect the two of you to remember!" Nitin said to the overjoyed girl.

"Wait wait...we were the one worried 'you'  would forget...and I bet you did...ain't I correct Tamaki?" The brown eyed girl said to Nitin while giving a glance at Tamaki.

"Hehe... guilty as charged... however, look at you Nikki...y-you have changed a lot." Nitin said as he chuckled and blushed a little.
"Not that it's a bad change...its...just...ugh!" He said acknowledging his previous line. Now he seriously was a tomato. Nikki chuckled.

~ I'm here...(tee-hee) (=>_<=)~
Let me introduce you to our new character here.

Nikita Singh...nicknamed Nikki by Nitin and Tamaki...about 22 years old...sweet, gentle, elegant and most of all...beautiful. left India at the age of 6 due to father's transfer to England. Both Tamaki and Nitin grew up alongside her until her age of 6.

~enjoy the rest~

"Okay, now...let's go sit inside, shall we? Nikki, come in, make yourself home." Nitin said while leading the way towards the room while Tamaki and Nikita followed.

"It hasn't changed a bit...has it?" Nikki said while sitting on the wooden chair while Tamaki and Nitin sat on the floor pillow.

The exited girl started fiddling inside her bag and took out a small gift wrapped box...she handed it over to Nitin while saying," a little gift from me, hope you like it." She turned her head to hide her blushing pretty face.

"T-thank y-you!" Nitin said receiving the article while his face grew really red.

~ my card selection worked eh! Good. Now let them row the boat of happiness~ Tamaki thought to himself while delivering a sweet smile.

Nitin opened the gift wrap carefully making sure the wrap stays intact. He opened the box.

Inside was a hand bracelet made of silver. Over it was written 'KING' in gold letters. The bracelet had beautiful antique textures curbed on it making it look like a national treasure.

Nitin's face lit up. He looked at the shiny object with a sparkle in his eyes. They were glowing like fireflies in the dark night sky. Soon the sparkle soothed as tears rolled down his eyes.

"Wait, was my gift that bad...did you not like it? What's the matter? Nitin speak up. I knew it would not please you. I should have got something els-" Nikki started asking things puzzled at the reaction when suddenly...a hand moved covering her mouth.

It was Nitin's.

He said," shush! Don't say such things silly girl! These are tears of joy not sadness. It's just that...you got into the trouble of getting such an exclusive item just for me. It made me really happy...I love it...thank you, I mean it."

Nikita was cheered up by those words. Both were now nearly as  red as pomegranates or maybe even more.

"Nitin, won't you show me your gift?" Tamaki broke into the silence.

"Oh! Sure...here you go." Nitin handed the masterpiece to his friend.

"Wow! Look at this...is this even real? Must be handmade...such perfection! No doubt Nitin was happy." Tamaki exclaimed while his Marine Blue eyes sparkled and glittered throughout.

"Yeah...well...it is." Nikki said with a gentle voice.

" Keeping that aside...boys' shall we get to business?" Nikki asked the two boys.
