I don't like " What if " s Ritika. And you know that.

You will be happy if I say I like you or I say I don't?

I will be pleased if you say the truth.

I will say it , tomorrow at the birthday party!

I spoke the works looking straight towards his eyes and I saw something that I was not expecting. I saw curiosity about my answer but didn't understand it's intensity.

May be it's casual interest everyone can have when they know someone likes them , really didn't know.

Bye for now , I'm going back to my house , we'll meet tomorrow!

I went back to my house and ran towards my room and jumped upon my bed not looking back to Adrit anymore.

What is going through my head may look like a teenage girl's immature thoughts but what it is I don't even care , I'll do that .

Today was my birthday .

My friends,my close family members, and some neighbours including Adrit's were invited.

Everything was going well as I planned before but I don't know what happened He reacted totally expected.

___________________________________________

Today was one of my unlisted holidays every year.

No tuition,no school ,no story , only what I want , love ,care , attention and lots of gifts .

Maybe it's the day when I get whatever I want, from childhood, so I was overconfident about my plan.

I woke up at 6 a.m. in the morning as usual because I think how you will spend your birthday will happen in the other days of the year.

Like this many things I follow which nobody will find any reason behind it.

However, for the rule I had studied for 30 minutes and went for my dark Romance books.

And my mother was busy in the kitchen with some of my aunties for the cooking as many people were coming in our house and staying there all day and my father and son of my uncles were busy decorating the house and doing other necessary work .

Some of my friends came early in the morning and some of them came in the evening better to say in the afternoon .

Today is my day.

And I especially wanted this 18th birthday to be the most precious of all.

I had bought a beautiful satin red saree with diamond locket and tiny beautiful earrings and a bracelet on my left hand.

Makeup was not bare minimum as I don't like the second skin of makeup hiding my true beauty but just want it to complement it more.

One reddish pink shaded lipstick, 1 glittery little bindi, Kajal ,all.

Evening was the time of cake cutting so the people who were invited were said to come before evening and after arriving everyone gathered around me .

They wished me a very happy birthday with a long healthy and blessed life.

But my eyes were wondering to find someone special and he is Adrit.

When his mother came he was not there with her and I was tensed if he would really come.

With the suppressed heaviness in my heart and unbearable excitement I was roaming at the party and trying to communicate nicely with the guests.

And after a long time he came.

He came like a shooted booted mysterious gentleman embracing the black around him.

Hey God! why is he so handsome? Sometimes I feel jealous of all the girls who spend even a second of time with him.

Can someone stay without falling in love with such a person?

Black shirt on his fair skin .... Ufff!!!

My man. (My words slipped out of my mouth and when I realised it, I was looking here and where to know if anyone noticed it or not and when I realised that it was too low to hear for someone I left a deep sigh!)

I stepped towards him and he was looking towards me with a smiley face.

He moved forward and when we came near he passed his hand to the handshake and wished me on my birthday.

I said thank you.

But there was not any gift with him for me and I was so upset with it as everyone had given me so many gifts and him from whom I wanted it the most did not do so.

So with the courage in my heart and running heartbeats I asked him,

Where is my gift?

He smiled and said,

You will get a gift from me when the right time comes.

But isn't it the right time? It's my birthday. When will I get a gift after that?

I did not want to be upset so I did not expand our conversation and my mother called to cut the cake so we went there together.

When cutting the cake everyone cheeringing up to me . After that my dad took a part and fed it to me and then I gave cake pieces to my mom and my dad .

After that I wanted to go to him but out of nowhere one of my friends Rajdeep came here and put a piece of cake in my mouth and I could not go to adrit without sharing Rajdeep back.

When I looked in his direction again he was not there. And the situation was not appropriate for me to leave the place at that time so I was bound to stay there.

I don't know how much time has passed but the house is silent now. Everyone has gone or slept.

But sleep has not come to me.

What happened a few hours ago was enough to keep me awake.
