Vivaan's POV

I was sitting with my date in a silly luxurious restaurant of Mumbai. It was pretty boring because the girl was not at all good looking or hot. She was just a silly business woman type person whom I just hate like hell.

Finally the girls said," I should take a leave now Mr. Malhotra its quite late now."

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost twelve in the night.

"Yeah. Sure." I said and rode her back to her house in Thane.

I was then returning back to my house in Bandra when I stopped at a road side tea stall to buy myself a chewing gum as I have had almost nothing for dinner as it was a boutique restaurant and the food there was litterally not worth to be eaten by any hungry man. Chewing gum makes myself feel comfortable with that biting stomach.

I gave the man the money and took my gum and was adjusting myself in the car when I heard a spaaashhhhhh sound. I looked towards the road and saw a speeding white car being driven by crossing the speed limit.

I slowly started the engine and drove off. After driving for a while, I reached a beach area. I used to come here often during my early days when I used to be either happy or sad. This used to be my favourite place. Tomorrow was my birthday and it was almost twelve so I decided to stop there for sometime.

I stopped the car and killed the engine and was walking by the beach area. It was only a few minutes left to twelve. Suddenly I saw that speeding car come and stop at the few mentres distance from me. A girl walked out from the car with a box in her hand.

She walked closer to the sea and sat there. She kept the box beside her and  sat looking at the sky.

It was only two minutes left to twelve when she took out two candles and lit them up. The candles showed twenty eight in numbers. She then took out the stuff which was there in the box. It was a chocolate - coffee flavoured cake. It was my favourite and I was pretty hungry then so I was feeling really uneasy.

She then placed those candles on the cake and startet to count backwards,  "Ten-nine-eight-seven-six-five-four-three-two-one-" She then stood up and jumped and said shouting," Happy Birthday Vivo. A very prosperous twenty eighth birtday to you. May you be happy wherever you are."

After listening to this I got shocked. "Vivo?" It was the name by which Girijah used to call me. I thought to myself if the girl there was Girijah? But it couldn't be because she never used to dress up like this. She was a tomboy.

She then said shouting again,"I, Girijah Singhania the great wishes all happiness to be yours. I love you......." she said shouting and then she sat down crying," I miss you Vivo. Why did you go away? Why? Come back please. See I'm waiting for you I'll never say you to go away ever again. Why did you leave me all alone? Why?" She then took her hand to her mouth and threw a flying kiss towards the sky.

I was now fully sure that she was indeed my Girijah. But she dad changed alot.

"I don't know why but now I can feel that you are standing just at my back. I hope it was true." She said sobbing.

I was happy to see that she was still celebrating my birthday and I was more happy because she had remembered me and she did agree that she loved me.

She then cut the cake and closed her eyes and held the cake up in the air and said," Vivo. Happy Birthday just have a bit of it come on."

This was my golden opportunity and so I went to her and took a bite from the piece of cake she had in her hand.

But she instead of opening her eyes in surprise just fell down on the ground unconscious. I went closer and got a smell of hard drink from her mouth and understood that she was drunk.

I checked her purse and found out thatshe used to live in an appartment in Bandra. I took her stuff and put it in my car and then took her up and made her sit on the seat beside the driver seat and drove to her appartment.

As I rang the bell, a man much shorter than me opened the door.

"Hi" he said.

"Hi. Actually is this Girijah Singhania's house?" Asked I.

"Yes." He said.

"Actually I found her lying drunk in the beach." Said I.

"What's today's date?" Asked he.

"Umm. Sixteenth January." Said I confused.

"Oh! Shit. How could I just forget? I'm really sorry." He said.

"Its okay." Said I.

"Where's she?" Asked he.

"Umm. In my car its just downstairs." Said I.

"Okay. I'm  coming." He said and started following me to my car.

He took Girijah on in his arms and I helped him taking her up the staircase.

He then settle Girijah in the house and came to me.

"Thanks alot man. Wait aren't you Vivaan Malhotra?" Asked he.

I just wanted to avoid this question.

"Umm. Yes." I said.

"Thanks alot Sir." He said.

"Okay. I need to leave now." I said and went away.
