Squad: What..

Karan: Kya mtlb.. Tumhara bday aaj nhi h..

Preeta(angry) : Tum logo ki toh.. Mera bday.. Mera bday kse bhul skte ho...

Rohan: Preeta maine toh id pr bhi check kia tha.. Bday 10 date ko hi h..

Preeta: Konse mahine kii dasvi tareek par.. Yeh bhi dekhlete..

Rohan: Oh madam.. Maine dekha tha.. 10th hi month tha.. Yaani september

Amaira gave him are u serious look.

Preeta: Chalo dimaag na sahi... Aankhein toh thik hi h tumhari ro...

Shrishmeer: 10 October hua na ro..

Rohan bit his tongue.

Karan: Yaar akal baat rhe the bhagwan... Kaha tha tu... Itni mehnat krwayi.. Ek date sahi se nhi dekh skta tha tu...

Rohan: Yaar choti si galti...

Shrishti: Teri choti si galti mein humne aatishbaaziyan karadi..

Preeta(angry) : Usko chodo.. Usne toh smjha galat..Tum dono nalayaak mera bday kse bhul skte ho...

Shrishmeer looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

Shrishmeer: Hume thoda thoda shak tha.. Par usne bola toh hum maan gye...

Preeta: I hate u guys...

Amaira: Rohan...

Rohan: Arre hogyi galti.. Bache ki jaan loge kya..

Karan: Tumhare chakkar mein maine iss aafat ko itni der akela jhela h.. Hadd h.. Aur ab bol rhe ho bday bhi nhi h... Acha dhokha h yeh toh..

Preeta widened her eyes.

Preeta:Acha toh ab smjh aaya.. Yeh Karela achanak sugar syrup kaise ban gaya...

Karan: Kareli..

Preeta: No.. No.. No.. Chup.. Itni der se yeh jo bhi kuch kr rhe the tum... Isliye kii yeh log surprise plan kr ske... Mtlb u were tricking me...

Karan: Hain? Kuch bhi mtlb...

Preeta: Ha.. Kuch bhi.. Jab bhi mujhe lagta h.. Aaj tumse nhi ladugi.. Lekin nhi janaab ko sukoon thodi h.. Mujhse lade bina.. Double Duffer Donkey.. Mujhe laga tum sach mein vo sb kh rhe ho.. Lekin nhi tum.. Toh bas time nikalne ke liye kuch bhi...

Karan again pulled her covering her mouth.

Karan: Tum kabhi mere khiche bina chup nhi ho skti na...

Preeta glared him.

Karan: Mtlb kisi bhi level ki bakwas baaten sochne mein Miss Preeta Arora ka toh koi competition h hi nhi...

Preeta was trying to speak but he didn't let her and made her look into his eyes.

Karan: Chup.. Ek shabd nhi.. Vo sb sach hi tha.. Ek ek word.. Mtlb koi itni der jhooth kse bol skta h.. Pagal ladki.. Aur vse bhi na hi maine tumse kabhi jhuth bola h aur na hi bolunga..

Preeta looked at him a bit stunned at his statements. He too was unable to understand why he was so confusing with her? He doesn't like her, he doesn't hate her but definitely he cares for her. What kind of bond was it between them?

He removed his hand from her mouth and loosened his grip on her waist. Both were still looking into each other's eyes as if finding answers to the questions regarding their thoughts.

Both came back to senses and felt a bit weird. So, just looked away.

Karan: Sorry.. In logo ne mujhe kaha tumhe busy rkhne ke liye but iska mtlb yeh nhi kii vo sb jhuth tha..

Preeta: Okay.. Par mera bday aaj nhi h.. Nhi h..

Karan: Ha toh ek baar mein bhi sun hi gya tha mujhe...

Preeta: Tum sab bhi..

She turned and looked Rohira and Shrishmeer standing turning faces.

Preeta(confused) : Ab tum log kis khushi mein.. Uss taraf muh krke khade ho..

Karan: Ha guys.. Chaaro k chaaro ko kya hua..

Rohan: Sidhi saral bhasha mein ab hum toh itne besharam h nhi kii tum log romance kro aur hum dekhe..

Preeran: Hum koi romance nhi kr rhe the..

Squad: Dekha humne..

Preeran: Phir gardan ghumane ka pravachan bhi kyu hi dia...

Preeran burst out laughing at their timing.

Shrishti: Mtlb faltu mein mid semesters hote hue.. Itni mehnat kii..

Amaira and Sameer: Sab iss rohan ki wajah se..

Preeta: Ha.. Har galti mein bas usi ko blame kro.. Galti sb kii h.. Mera bday yaad nhi.. Hadd h...

Karan: Itna acha surprise dia uska kuch nhi.. Date kii padi h..

Preeta: Toh.. Bday bday wale din hi hota h...

Amaira(shouting) : Bas.. Bahut hogyi bday ki yeh discussion...

Sameer: Exactly..

Amaira : Galti kiski h..

Sameer: Rohan..

Rohan:Oh hello..

Amaira and Sameer smashed cake on his face. He was shocked.

Amaira and Sameer: Toh bas matter khatam..

Preeran and Shrishti looked at Rohan shocked while Amaira and Sameer sighed.

Amaira: Hadd hi ho gyi thi...

Rohan(angry) : Hadd toh ab hui h..

Shrishti: Tum dono bhi pagal ho...

Sameer: Bas ab main hostel jaa rha hu.. Tum log yahi raho.. Aur exams ke baad isi class mein rhna... Okay... Bye..

Amaira: Ditto copy paste.. Bye...

Preeran, Rohan, Shrishti too moved behind them. All sat in car.

Rohan: Yeh tum logo ne acha nhi kia..

Preeta: Sorry yrr..

Amaira, Shrishmeer, Karan: Sorry kya.. Yeh uski punishment..

Rohan: Pagal ho tum log..Ksi punishment.. Pura cake mere muh p h.. Ab tum log toh ise kha nhi skte par main..

He licked his finger. Preeta slapped her forehead.

Shrishmeer: Chee Ro..

Karan: Bas yehi dekhna rh gya tha..

Amaira glared him. He gulped and started wiping his face with tissues.

Preeran dropped their friends to their hostels and went to their apartment.

Karan was opening the door. Preeta rolled her eyes.

Karan(confused) : Kya hua ab tumhe..

Preeta: Kuch nhi.. Cake toh waste kr hi dia.. Mera favourite cake..

Karan: Ha kyunki vo rohan ke face pr laga tha... Agar tumhare face pr laga hota toh shayad main..

Preeta widened her eyes. He smiled.

Preeta: Chee.. Tum..

He burst out laughing and ran inside. She ran behind him.

Karan: Kyu Miss Topper.. Ksa idea h..

Preeta: Wahiyad..

Karan showed her tongue.

Preeta(running behind him) : Besharam insan...

Her leg slipped. Both fell on sofa with preeta on top. Her hair covered his face. She leaned back.

Karan: Haye.. Phir meri baahon mein hi aagyi... I am telling u.. Tum yahi belong krti ho...

Preeta (angry) : Dekho Karan... Ab tumhari flirting out of limits ho rhi h..

Karan(in her ears) : Flirt nhi.. Sach h... One day, you will like there is no place you belong to except my arms..

Preeta closed her eyes. He slowly tucked her hair strand.

Karan: Aur vse bhi.. Tumhe jhelna.. Kisi aur kii itni badi saza main nhi de skta.. This is inhumane..

Preeta opened her eyes shocked.

Karan(giggling) : Yaar tum p yeh expression sbse jyada suit krta h..

Preeta got up and set her hair.

Preeta(glaring) : Tum na aaj kal jyada hi bol rhe.. So jao.. Kal class h..

Karan: As u wish.. My girl..

She rolled her eyes and made an irritated face. She moved towards her room.

Karan(shouting) :Good night Kareli..

Preeta: Sweet Nightmares Double Duffer Donkey...

Both went to their rooms. Preeta changed into her comfy pjs and tied her hair in a bun.

Preeta(murmuring) : Pagal log bebaat ka bday mana rhe mera..

She remembered her and Karan dancing together and smiled unconsciously.

She went to kitchen to take water bottle. She opened the fridge. Pastry was there.

Preeta: Hain? Yeh..

She took the plate.

Preeta: Mera fav cake..

Preeta(shocked) : Vo bajarbattu itni raat ko mere liye...

She took it with her. Karan came after sometime and smiled seeing no plate inside.

Karan: Nakli bday ka asli cake.. Miss Mental...Jhootha hi sahi.. Happy bday to u...

He took the bottle and went back.

Preeta was sitting on bed eating the pastry thinking about Karan. Karan was also thinking about her.

Karan: Maine jo kaha uska ek ek word sach h...

Preeta(smiling) : Really...

Preeta: Agar hum dost nhi hote toh aadhi raat ko tumhare saath yaha nhi hoti...

Karan: Mtlb trust toh mujh par krti h...

Preeran: So, now we r friends.. Right..

Preeran smiled.

Preeta: I think vo itna bhi bura nhi h...

Karan: Shayad vo itni bhi buri nhi h... Main hi faltu mein uss se first day lad lia...

Preeta: Hmesha use sunati rhti hu... Aur vo..

She smiled at his gesture of fulfilling her wish.

Preeran: I think he/she isn't that bad...

Both smiled.

Screen freezes on their smiling faces.
