5 days later..

" Thanks yaar ,for letting me be at your place and also for helping me to go to Bhopal", Piyali said to Sara.

Sara is Piyali's best friend who is doing her job in Pune.

"There is no need to thank me. What are friends for if they don't help each other . But atleast tell me the reason behind your Bhopal visit and why are you hiding it from your family ?" Sara asked.

"Will tell you everything once the right time comes", Piyali said while keeping her tickets in her hand bag.

"I will wait for it then. Take care and call me once you reach there", Sara instructed Piyali.

"Will do baby. Bye" Piyali said and hugged Sara.

Piyali booked a cab and went to the railway station. She was excited as well as nervous as this will be the first time she will meet the love of her life.

Piyali paid the cab driver and waited for her train to arrive. As soon as she settled in her seat she started looking out of the window. Fresh evening breeze was giving a soothing feeling to her. Though she is excited to meet Ansh but she is also feeling sorry as this is the first time she lied to her family.

Whole evening went with her being in her thoughts and now she is eagerly waiting for clock to strike 12. As soon as clock strikes 12 she messaged Ansh.

" Happy birthday my jaan. May this year brings lots of happiness and success in your life with good health. May your all wishes get fulfilled. Lots of love and kisses your way my jaan", Piyali texted Ansh.

"Thanks baby", Ansh replied her instantly.

"Can I call ?" Piyali asked as soon as she saw the message.

"Naa baby , I am on call with my friends", Ansh replied her.

"Ok then let's talk tommorow", Piyali replied.

"Yes baby , you sleep now", Ansh replied.

"Happy 9 months as well jaan" Piyali wished him.

"Same to you too baby" Ansh replied.

After ending the call Piyali slept with the eagerness and nervousness of meeting her love.

Morning 9 a.m

Piyali reached Bhopal station and after taking a cab went to the hotel which was just a 10 minutes drive from the station.

After having her breakfast and getting freshen up she messaged Ansh.

"Hey baby", Piyali messaged Ansh.

"There is a surprise for you", Piyali again messaged him after 5 minutes.

"What is it baby?" Ansh texted her instantly.

"I am in Bhopal baby", Piyali texted.

"You are joking right?" Ansh asked as he couldn't believe what Piyali said.

"I am damn serious Ansh. I have checked in hotel today morning and i will return back to Pune by train at night 1" Piyali replied.

"Its really hard to believe baby that you are here. Do your family know about it?" Ansh asked.

"Nobody knows except my bestie. I told my family that I am going to her home and I came here" ,Piyali texted him.

"Why did you take so much of risk baby? If someone comes to know about it then it will create a big problem" Ansh told her.

"Let's not talk about anything baby. When are you coming to meet me here?" Piyali asked.

"I don't know baby . But I will try" Ansh replied.

"Please baby come to my hotel. We will celebrate your birthday together", Piyali texted him.

"I will try" Ansh replied.

Piyali has already told the hotel staff to decorate her room and she too was ready for her Ansh. She has worn a beautiful knee length sundress. She has also ordered a cake and have brought a nice shirt and perfume as a gift for Ansh.

Whole day went in a blink but there was no sign of Ansh. No message nor any phone call.

"Where are you Ansh? It's dinner time and I will be gone in few hours. Please meet me just for 5 minutes only if you are very busy", Piyali texted Ansh.

She didn't get any reply from him. Finally when it was 12 and Piyali lost all hopes. She packed her things and after giving the cake and room keys at reception she left from there crying .

After taking her seat in the train she lost all her hopes of meeting him.

"I am sorry baby , I was busy entire day . Family , friends so I didn't get time only to meet you " Ansh texted her .

When Piyali saw his message she bursted out crying. Just to meet him she came here and he couldn't even spare 5 minutes for her.

"It's ok , it was my mistake that I came here to meet you on your birthday without informing you prior", Piyali replied him.

"I didn't even sleep entire night yesterday . Even now I am just sending thank you messages to everyone", Ansh replied back.

"Ok" Piyali replied back as she didn't have anything else to say.

She was really hurt and didn't wanted to fight with him so didn't say anything which will start there fight.

"You know usually I just sleep entire day on my birthday but this year I didn't even get to sleep at night ", Ansh replied smiling.

"People usually celebrate there birthdays rather then sleeping", Piyali texted rolling her eyes.

"Ya , I know but I like sleeping", Ansh replied.

"So what gifts you got?" Piyali asked.

"Nobody gives gifts this days", Ansh said.

"Oohh , but I had brought gifts for you", Piyali told him.

"Seriously?" Ansh asked astonished.

"Ya", Piyali replied.

"What gift did you get for me?" Ansh asked.

"It doesn't matter now", Piyali replied.

"Tell na please", Ansh requested .

"A black colour shirt and a perfume", Piyali replied

"Oohh , then I missed taking it", Ansh said.

"Did you atleast cut cake or no?" Piyali asked.

"Ya , I cut the cake. Bhaiya brought one and friends also brought" ,Ansh told her

"Oohh , nice. Send me the photos ", Piyali told him.

"I don't take photos", Ansh told her.

"Atleast you took your photo or no? I have never seen you in jeans , t-shirts and shirt", Piyali told him.

"Can't you understand a simple thing? I am not a photogenic person. I just enjoy in living the moment rather then taking photos", Ansh texted her getting irritated.

"Ok. Happy birthday again " Piyali texted feeling bad by the kind of reply Ansh gave her.

"Thanks", Ansh replied.

"Good night " Piyali texted him as she was not interested to talk anymore to him.

"Good night" ,Ansh replied.

Piyali again cried to sleep.

"From miles away i came to meet you Ansh but we didn't even meet, neither did for once you asked me about what I did the entire day alone? You didn't even bother to tell me to take care or call you once I reach", Piyali thought in her mind and cried hard.
