Before I continue, I would like to introduce two characters who are going to play an important role in this story.

jasmine_r22 as Pavi: She is one of the close friend's of Swara and Ragini. The trio are classmates. When Swaragini were new to Karnataka, she has helped them a lot in settling there, so, they are more like a family rather than friends. She is somewhat similar to Swara but still loves enjoyment too like Ragini, most important she love to spend time with these two.

Diya543 as D or Diya: She had recently joined in Sanskar's band. One of the best in drums and also as a female singer. She is full of energy and is always ready for challenges. Sanskar who took her auditions got impressed with her courage and confidence and immediately took her into his band.

I hope I haven't written something that might hurt you. If so, I am so sorry, do let me know I will change it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Swara came back home, she saw Pavi sitting in the hall.

Swara: Hi, why are you alone? Where is Ragu?

Pavi: She locked herself in the kitchen. Neither she is coming out nor allowing anyone inside.

Swara: Oh god, anyone will lock themselves in their bedroom but this girl na...(raising her voice) Pavi, I am really feeling very hungry, let's go out for dinner.

Pavi(in the same high tone): And ice cream too.

Swara: Ya, let's go. I will lock the house. (As they turned back, they heard kitchen door being opened and footsteps hurried towards them)

Ragini: Wait, I am coming too.

Swara turning towards her and crossing her hands across her chest: Emptied whole refrigerator.

Ragini smiled sheepishly licking her fingers which had chocolate.

Swara shaking her head: Go wash your face and come. We will go for dinner.

After freshening up, they left to the nearby restaurant.

***********************************************************************************************At around half past 10, Sanskar and Laksh came out of their tents without making any noise and after making sure that Diya is sleeping, they went from there to a place which is around 10 minutes away from their camp. 

Sanskar: Did you get everything Lucky? (for which Lucky nods) So, let's get to work.

They both have taken all the materials from their bag and started decorating the forest. After arranging everything they went back to their camp. As they reached, they found Diya sleeping hugging a teddy tightly. Sanskar went in and woke up Diya.

Diya(in a sleepy tone): Kya hua Sanskar, ithni jaldi subah hogayi? (What happened Sanskar? It had become morning so early?)

Sanskar smiling: No, come with us.

Diya: Aree, now I don't want to go anywhere...let me sleep na. (She was about to lay down again but Sanskar stops her and takes her out forcefully)

As soon as they were out, Lucky tied a black cloth on her eyes for which Diya frightened. Understanding her situation...

Lucky: Relax!! We are with you. (They both held her one and each and took her through the woods to the place where they have decorated and as they reached, they removed the blindfold)

Diya slowly opened her eyes and got awe struck looking at the sky lamps which were tied around the place making the woods look so beautiful. Before Diya could speak something, they both started counting 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1...Many many happy returns of the day Diyu.

Hearing which water formed in her eyes looking at the love they are showering on her and she found difficult to express her feelings in words. Slowly Sanskar came forward holding a bottle full of fireflies and handed it to Diya for which she looked at him confused. 

Sanskar: This is a small gift from our side Diyu. 

Lucky: Just like how a firefly glows brightly, we want you to achieve all your dreams and break through the darkness of your life.

Sanskar: And never let success get into your head. You must always be the same as when you have nothing as well as when you have everything. 

Diya: Thank you so much. In the midst of all these, I totally forgot my birthday and i haven't expected you guys to do so much for me. This really is very special to me.

Sanskar smiles: Now leave those fireflies.

Diya: What? 

Sanskar: freedom is very important. (Diya slowly opens the lid of the bottle) 

As she opened, the fireflies happily came out and spread so much light that showed how happy they are after getting out of that suppressed bottle. Automatically, a small curve appeared on all the three faces.

Looking at the sight, Sanskar: Freedom!!! Yes, if we give freedom to our thoughts and give wings to our dreams, we would be flying like them spreading happiness.

Lucky interrupting: Enough now Sanskar, it's her birthday...don't spoil it with your emotional talk. Diyu, you don't mind it please ah, he is like that only. Now it's celebration time. Sorry Diyu, this is all we managed to get here as there is no refrigerator with us, we couldn't get cake.

Diyu: You both did so much for me. That is more than enough for me. (looking at the doughnuts) Aww Doughnuts, these are my favorite too.

Blowing the candles, she cut the doughnut cake and taking two pieces in her hand, she made both Sanskar and Lucky to eat it at the same time, while they too made her eat. They sat there munching the doughnuts and talking about the woods and sky lanterns. After an hour or so, they went back to camps to have a nap.

********************************************************************************************

After dinner followed by ice cream, three girls reached the flat. Settling themselves on the bed,

Pavi: So, what shall we do now?

Swara: Like you have said we went for dinner right, now, let's study. (Hearing it Ragini sighed)

Both Pavi and Swara started reading while Ragini was flipping the pages of magazines, she suddenly exclaimed: Oh my god, my rockstar is here.

Swara unaffected by it continued her studies while Pavi peeped into the magazine.

Ragini: Look at him, isn't he handsome?

Pavi: Indeed he is cute.

Her excitement was interrupted by Swara's irritated voice: will you please stop it? Let me concentrate.

Ragini: Come on Shona. I am sure you would fall head over heals for him if you just get a glance of him. Tell the same thing after looking at him. (She forwarded the magazine but Swara didn't take it)

Swara: Whatever, I am not interested. I will get coffee for us. I am feeling very sleepy but we have 2 more chapters to cover.

Ragini: You are doing as if we are having exam tomorrow.

Pavi just smiled and continued her reading. 

Ragini: Chi, these people write whatever they like.

Pavi: what happened?

Ragini: You only read this (she pointed to an article written about the rockstar Sanky)

Pavi reading aloud: The most popular rockstar is now in our city...excited right? If you want to see him live, hurry up...limited tickets available. And his shows are always houseful, not sure of the reason, may be because of his voice or because of his looks. As we digged deeper, we found that the reason for him being so very popular among girls is that he never disappoints any girl who comes to him. The hotel staff said that, they have witnessed many girls coming to meet him and no one knows what they do behind those four walls.

Swara: All rockstar's are the same. They are spoilt brats. I never had good impression on them. Now leave all this.

Ragini murmurs: But Sanky is not like that.

After studying, they all slept being tired of a very long day.

**********************************************************************************************

Next morning as they were having fruits for breakfast,

Lucky: So, Diyu today is all yours. Tell us what you want to do and where you want to go?

Diyu thinking: Hmmm...I want to go the waterfalls which I showed you in the google maps, it is not so far from here and spend some nice time there. 

Sanskar: Your wish is our command madam. We will go there in the afternoon, Now let's practice for some time.

Lucky and Diya: yes boss (and they left to get their instruments)

After around two hours of practice session, they prepared some lunch and left to the waterfall. It was nearer to their camp but is little further into the forest.

The pool at the bottom is giving a divine look while the water was drizzling onto the rocks, that soft sound was very pleasant to hear. The greenery and the flowers growing nearby had a sweet smell making the trio to amaze the whole place. Diyu and Lucky went near the water and started playing with it while Sanskar just sat on the rock admiring the beauty of the nature.

Lucky: Sanskar, the water is so clear, come and join us. (for which Sanskar nods in no)

After having fun for a hour or so, they both too came and sat beside Sanskar leaning back on the rock.

Sanskar: I will just go around and come back to the camp. Feeling to have some time with myself.

Lucky: Be careful and don't get lost in this forest.

Sanskar nodding: you take Diyu back carefully.

Bidding bye, Sanskar with hands in his pocket started walking in the midst of the woods lost in his own thoughts enjoying the cool breeze touching his face. At that moment, he heard someone's shout and went in that direction only to find a girl who was unconscious. He hurriedly went to her and turned her towards him and removed the hair strands from her face. He completely got mesmerized looking at her innocent, cute face and kept on staring at her for don't know how many minutes. As his hand became wet by the dripping blood, he then noticed that she had a light cut on her forehead. First to stop the blood, he tied his handkerchief on her forehead. He tried to wake her up but of no use, so, he carried her in his arms and as he was searching for someone to help, he found a small hut. Taking her inside, he placed her down and searched for water. Luckily, there was an old pot and little water in it. He took some water in his hands and sprinkled on her face. Slowly she opened her eyes and got up holding her head because of pain. Looking around and finding a stranger before her,

Girl(little frightened): Who are you?

Sanskar startled: Me?? don't you know me?

Girl looking at him weirdly: Are you a Chief Minister of any state?

Sanskar: No

Girl: Then Are you a Prime Minister?

Sanskar rolling his eyes: No

Girl: Are you a father of India or a soldier to know about you?

Sanskar(to himself): Oh god!! It seems she is a question bank. (To the girl, forwarding his hand): Hi, I am Sanskar. What about you?

Girl forwarding her hand too: Hello, I am Swara. But how did I come here?

Sanskar explained how he found her unconscious and brought her here. 

Swara smiling brightly: Thank you so much Sanskar.

Don't know why for the first time, he felt that his parents gave him a very nice name. Smiling, he asked her: Why did you come here?

Hearing it, Swara's face fell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, today I am ending this part here. Will meet you soon in the next chapter.

So, as you all wanted Swasan met. How is it? 

It looks like Sanskar fell for her at first sight itself but what about Swara?

Do let me know your views. Love you, take care. Do hit the star button if you liked it.

Never forget to smile.
