After dropping Twinkle at home, I went to a mall and bought a special gift for my girl because the day after tomorrow was her birthday and I wanted to make this birthday very special for her because it was her first birthday with me.

It was evening when I reached my apartment. I realised that Ryan wasn't there that meant her mom wasn't at home too. I got freshen up and left for her house. I pressed the doorbell and a few seconds later, she opened the door. Her beautiful eyes brightened up as she saw me. I got inside and closed the door. She immediately jumped on my back. I chuckled as I started walking inside, with her on my back.

I made her fall on the couch and sat beside her, scooping her in my arms.

"You were missing me, that's why you came here na?" she asked cutely.

"I miss you every second when I'm not with you but I've come here for another reason." I said kissing the side of her face.

"What's that?" she asked with a serious face.

"The thing is that bachcha, your finals are going to start from the next month and I know you've studied nothing till now. You need to focus on your studies. I don't want to be a distraction for you." I said as I put her hair behind her ear.

"Laksh, you're not a distraction for me. Okay!" she said as she hugged me.

"I know better. And I'm serious!" I said as I broke the hug and made her look at me.

"What do you want me to do then?" she asked frowning.

"See, as only one month is left for the exams, going to college isn't necessary and I want you to do self study at home. I'll help you if you need any help because you know your boyfriend is also an engineer." I started.

"Okay! I'll start studying from next week." she said with a bored look.

"No, you'll start it from today." I said sternly.

"Laksh! You are acting like parents act with their children when their exams are near." she said rolling her eyes.

"Think whatever you want but you have to start studying seriously otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" she asked glaring me.

"I'll not meet you. As you'll not be going to college, it'll not be needed for me to be around you." I said with a serious face.

She stared at me for a few seconds and then pushed me away. She got up and started leaving. I got up immediately and held her hand.

"Ragini!"

"You want to go away from me, then go. Why are you finding excuses of staying away?" she said looking at me with anger.

Shit! It wasn't supposed to go like this.

"Bachcha, you're taking me wrong. I didn't mean this." I said pulling her to me.

"Then? What did you mean? How dare you talk about staying away from me when you know that I can't live without you?" she asked and I saw her eyes turning glassy.

Oh my baby!

"Ragini... Shh... Mera bachcha, don't cry. I'm sorry! Please... I'm not going away from you. Not today, not tomorrow. Never." I said as I hugged her and started running my hand on her back.

"I just don't want you to take your studies lightly. I don't want you to fail because of me. Career is very important bachcha. I want you to pass the exams with flying colours and make me proud." I said kissing her head.
