Darling saw him coming said,Jai you are looking so handsome,may god keep away evil's eye from my child.He smiled saying,I always look good to you because you love me so much,I am looking normal.She replied,you always say like this.They both chuckled.

Dhwani was all worried thinking what to wear,putting all the clothes she had in closet out,start calling Di, please come,I need your expert advice.Di replied coming just dropping off Aadi downstairs to mumma.Di came after few minutes,seeing room's condition said,Dhwani are you going to wear all of this? She said Di,c'mon help me out.I wanted to look special,not usual Dhwani.For the first time,he has asked me out and it's my birthday eve.Di start folding her clothes saying,Do you want to look good for your birthday eve or for Jai? You first please decide.She laughed saying,both.

Di said,I know it's for Jai.Now don't hide.She laughed,Di please help na.Mehr said,okay baba,why don't you try that skirt which we bought last year from Delhi Haat but you never had actually wore that.She replied,yes it didn't come into my mind,Di thankyou,you are amazing,I could pair it with a tee or shirt.It will look perfect for eve and more simple.Di said,now get ready before you get late and don't forget to invite him for tomorrow house birthday party.

Jai was feeling quite nervous about his look and day forward.He wanted it to be great,then he received a text from Dhwani,I am about to reach in 10 minutes,got stuck in traffic to which he replied,It's okay,I am waiting upstairs,practicing meet me at terrace.

Jai was practicing "lag ja gale" chords,he heard someone walking up,he looked behind it was Dhwani,she was looking absolutely stunning in navy blue long skirt,with white plain shirt with little embroidery at the cufflinks tucked inside the skirt along with matching navy blue colored scarf and matching pair of earings,and to give final touch to her look she was wearing kolapuri brown colored chappals that adds the style to the look.She came closer to Jai,saying Hi,he replied,Hi you are looking amazing today.

This new look is suiting you so much.She replied,really,you liked it? He said,I like it,I love it.She smiled saying,this lemon color actually suiting you the best.He said,thanks but I think there's one thing we can change about your look.She gave her puzzled look asking what? He said,may I? She replied, Yes! He came closer put his hand on her hairs,slipping the bun clip out of her bun,opening her long shiny hairs.Then,he adjusted her fringes and said,now it's perfect.She kept blushing.

Jai asked her to skip today's session as he already had practiced a lot before she came and they both should go ahead for the evening.She replied,as you say.He replied,okay let's go,first we should say bye to grandma then it's all set.She asked, what's on the list? He said, wait lady of the eve,so much is on the way.She smiled back.

They both entered into the room,grandma eyes got glittered up seeing both of them together said,Dhwani you are so beautiful,why don't you keep your hairs open,you are looking much prettier in untied hairs.Jai said meanwhile,that's what I have told her but she keeps braiding her hairs.Dhwani replied,okay now it's my birthday eve,stop complaining about me.Three of them shared laugh on it.Miss Rozy entered into the room,complimenting Dhwani,You are looking so beautiful today to which Jai said,Haven't you looked at me Miss Rozy,please someone compliment me also.Miss Rozy laughed saying,you are adorable as always my child.

Grandma said,you guys must be getting late now,please go have fun.Jai looked at Miss Rozy and was about to say something,She cut him.off saying,you don't worry,I'll take care of her,will call you in case of any emergencies and will not leave her alone for even a moment.Now please go and enjoy without any worries.He laughed and replied,you are sweet Miss Rozy.He kissed on grandma's head saying bye to her,while grandma whispered into his ears saying,all the best.He smiled back.Dhwani hugged her before leaving.

They reached parking,Dhwani asked so are you going to drive today? He replied,of course all in your honour and unlocked the car while opening front seat gate for Dhwani saying,please.She smiled saying impressive.Jai sat down,out of curiosity she asked where we are heading tell me,what's the plan? He said fasten your seat belt first, we are going somewhere for a surprise now, and along the way you'll see what's coming next,no more asking it's all surprise okay.She nodded okay playing FM at low volume so they could have good talk on the way.

Jai asked,okay If I am not wrong those doodling in your notebook meant a lot for you,it wasn't random.She replied,you are right Jai.He asked,what exactly it means,It's my papa's dream Jai,he wanted to become famous singer whom people will come to see singing live,but due to lack of resources it wasn't ever possible for him to dive himself into music.He had responsibilities,he went too far with leftover dream,I feel if I would be able to fulfil this,he would be very happy seeing me from somewhere.I know,in constant battle of being the best in singing industry,it's not that easy but I hope someday will come.Jai replied making way into parking of Cyber City,I think someday is here Dhwani.

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.
