Dhwani reached home rang the bell,aadi came running to her asking Do you have password to enter into the house? She replied you mean your chocolate.He grinned,yes.Dhwani showed him the big box of chocolates,He jumped into joy and opened the gate hugged her saying,you are the best maasi.

She took the bath and Aadi was already ready to go to mall.Mehr Di came saying,Today I'll come along,I need to buy few things from nearby market.Dhwani replied,then it will be more fun.

They reached mall,Aadi went to play in kids zone along with other kids which had a small swing,a slide and lots of balls to jump on.Mehr Di and Dhwani was sitting on a nearby bench keeping eye on Aadi while Di asked, How is grandma now? She replied,there are positive signs of her recovery,still not sure when she will get discharged,hopes are high that she will survive through this.

Di asked,and what about Jai? I mean did he get good sleep yesterday? Dhwani grinned like Aadi do when he gets so happy.Di sensed it and asked,Did something happened last night? Anything special between you two? She kept smiling then replied, He is amazing Di,I had the best night of my life,we sat under the night sky and talked about our ups-downs,fears,joy,smile,tear to everything and I told him about how I was all around him without him knowing it.Di replied,then how he took that? She smiled telling that he became shocked initially then he thanked me back for coming in their life and making it joyful. 

It was something different yesterday Di,I never felt so comfortable with anyone, how I feel with him.He is gentle,caring and the way he looks at me like I mean something precious to him makes me feel more attracted towards him.I don't know, if he feels the same for me.Di said smiling,of course he also think,there's no way you are feeling all this without him making you feel so.Then Aadi came running back saying,mumma I want icecream.

Di asked Dhwani to look after the bags,she nodded and then lost in her thoughts,she remembered the way he held her in his arms playing with her hairs.She got butterflies in her stomach while thinking about the hug,then she thought how she came back to room because the last she remembers sitting on the blanket on floor.She smiled thinking,he must have taken me downstairs in his arms.

Grandma woke up and first thing she asked about was where is Dhwani? Jai replied,She went back and will come in evening again and then said,I am seeing from few days you are loving her more than me,I am being jealous now.She smiled asking come here bacha,nobody can take your place, you have given me another life when you born and Dhwani making it more joyful by her presence.Jai smiled hearing this,grandma asked Jai, Do you like her? Jai had a broad smile but still said no darling,nothing like that.Grandma replied,I have just got old,can't hear or see properly but my senses are working very well,I can feel the love for her in your heart. 

He laughed saying, okay and what do your senses say about what I think about her? She replied,you love her company and you have different kind of smile when she is around because you don't know but you are falling for her.He just smiled.

Grandma kept saying further,Jai I love her,Dhwani is really sweet.She cares about you,only she could keep you happy,she sees you differently like I used to see your grandpa with much affection and love.I am not sure how many days,I have left,I worry who will be with you when I'll be no more.I don't wanna go leaving you here alone,by now she had tears in her eyes,her throat was heavy,she said,who will take care of you, my love.Jai hugged her saying,you are not going anywhere,I'll not let you go anywhere.I need you.

Grandma put her hand on his head saying,you both have something special that people look for whole life even after getting married,a friendship,a support,an understanding without being presence of words and you see how beautifully she came in our lives, just in few days she became family.He replied,She is amazing darling,She knows me better than me.I am not sure if she feels anything for me,she immediately replied,she do,I can see in her eyes.

He smiled lying beside grandma hugging her,thinking about last night,he got butterflies in his stomach remembering her touch,her silky hairs,her innocent eyes while she looked straight into his eyes,the way she sleeps putting her three fingers on his face with open-mouth,he laughed.He thought to herself,Grandma si right,She is special,She has some magic which is making me live my life everyday a little more.

Later that evening, they both were practicing "Lag ja Gale" chords, Jai was forgetting the chords again and again,So Dhwani pulled out her diary and start writing down those particular chords which he was missing.He stopped,while sipping water asked Did Aadi liked chocolates? She replied,He was so happy,he couldn't stop jumping in joy seeing that big box.He laughed saying I already love him,I don't how much I am.gonna love him when I will meet him.She smiled,I will take him here sometime,grandma was also asking me to see him.Jai replied,bring him on her birthday,she will be superhappy.Sure,she replied.

She received a call from Nitya,and walked to the other end to take the call.While he picked up her diary and start flipping through the pages,most of the pages had doodling having a girl playing instrument like guitar or ukulele infront of so many people like it's a live show.Some had her,to-do daily task which included things related to grandma and him which touched his heart.

Nitya told Dhwani, about the location and timings of Job fair, girls was preparing for.Nitya said,I am worried about girls,they are really working hard,I don't want thier hearts to get break by rejection.She consolding her said,Don't worry Di,hard work pays off,I am sure this time our girls will come back with happy faces.They deserve every happiness and don't worry I'll be there with them.Nitya replied,thankyou Dhwani and hang up.

Dhwani came back after attending call and found Jai looking her diary,she ran snatching her diary from his hands saying,Don't you know do not read diaries of people without their consent.Jai replied,friend can see without consent.She said,No.He said,anyway there's nothing personal in here except some doodling.She looked at him with big eyes,still don't you ever see it again.He laughed saying,I'll and snatched it back from her and ran away flipping through pages.

She ran behind him,He raised his hands above in air with diary.She kept jumping high with hand in air to grab it back but unable to reach the height,she attacked with her nails.He screamed saying,now you have started acting like a girl.Grab it back with fair play.She gave him look saying,let me tell you what is fair play,she started tickling at his weak spot and she started dancing saying stop,stop,please stop! Okay,I am giving it to you back.

They both laughed a lot seeing themselves fighting like small kids sat on cemented blocks holding their stomach.Jai took a deep breath to get normal asked,So you have your birthday in next two days and you haven't told me about it.She smiled,you never asked.He replied,so you must have told it yourself.

She laughed,stupid who says my birthday is coming,arrange birthday party for me,bring me cake and gift.He laughed too,saying my birthday is on 19th August and I am not ashamed to ask you to do all the stuff for me,you just said.Don't you forget to bring the gift,they both laughed again.

Chapter 3: I found love in most unexpected place.

Fb, friend request, RAAVI, bank and everything blue blue like Facebook was emerging and alarm starts ringing. I woke up and opened the messenger, there was a text from raavi. She texted: Are you from Kennedy public school, we were in same class may be? I don't recognize you exactly but seems seen you somewhere. My eyes went wide seeing her text and I decided to go with her own one sided story and replied yes we were batch mates but you never actually had convo with me. She didn't ask anything about school stuff further thank god. Thanks to my old friend who were there and I had picture uploaded with him in his school premises.
