CHAPTER 2

“A person with whom you have an immediate connection, the moment you meet—- a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before…. as this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior” , said the man in his late twenties.
There was a huge crowd that had gathered in front of him. All the eyes fixed at him.
”is that your story Mr. Sarna?” asked a gentleman amid the crowd
“if you think properly, its the story of all of our lives.” said Mr. Sarna with a smile
“did you meet a person like that?” asked another man
“no more questions, please”, said the other man who was standing behind. “Mr. Sarna is very busy and its about time we end the press conference right now.”
Saying this he signed the bodyguards who made way for Mr. Sarna, who left the place immediately.

“In a crowd I believe myself to be moving of my own free will, one of many yet still my own person. To an observer I am no more than a moving mass, one with a predictable behavior when viewed as a whole. We move like a shoal of fish, one point of departure, one destination, so perhaps I have indeed become one of the many, feeding of impulses of those around me to inform my decision. I wonder if I have changed?” thought Mr. Sarna.

“Kunj, your father has been calling you all this time, I think you should call back” said the same man from earlier.
”I have to go somewhere right now, you can go home to Yuvraj. Sent me the details of tomorrows meeting by tonight. “ said Kunj.
He got up in his car and left.

“when will he grow up? I doubt he will” said Yuvraj to himself. His phone rings. Taking it out he smiles at the screen and picks it up.
“hello, yeah I remember , don’t worry , will be there in no time.”
An excited Yuvraj gets into his car and drives away. On his way he stops by a flower shop and picks some pretty flowers. The shopkeeper asks him if its for his girlfriend. Yuvraj smiles and replies “ no, this is for the love of my life”. He pays the money and rushes to his car.

Kunj is standing in front of a huge mansion. Its all lit up. He keeps staring at the mansion. He was carrying a bouquet. After few more minutes he leaves the place. Kunj drives back home. He seems to be in a bad mood. He keeps the bouquet on the table and throws himself into the bed.

Meanwhile Yuvraj enters a house filled with people , he looks here and there and finally finds the person he was looking for.
”HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEBE…….” says yuvraj running towards a middle aged woman and hugging her. The woman seemed to be equally happy to see him.
”here, flowers for the love of my life” said Yuvraj handing the flowers to bebe.
“aww, my boy. So you finally made it?” said bebe.
“of course, did you really think otherwise?” said Yuvraj
“well, not really. But I don’t trust you enough these days..” said bebe
While they were busy chatting, another woman watches them from aside. She looks gloomy.

Kunj lay on the bed for a few minutes , his phone rings but in vain, and then looked at his side table. There was a picture of him and yuraj (smiling), another picture shows the same woman who was watching yuvraj and bebe from aside. Kunj took the picture in his hand. As tears rolled down his chin, he whispered “happy birthday maa”.

“happy birthday, Usha Aunty” said yuvraj to the gloomy woman from earlier.
She wipes her tears, trying to suppress her sob “what?”
“ See the clock just struck 12.” said Yuvraj
“is it so? Sorry I didn’t see the time” said Usha
“happy birthday Usha, god bless you, “ said bebe. She gives usha a hug.
“Aunty please give me your hand” said yuvraj.
Usha looked shocked. Yuvraj grabs her hand and puts a watch through her palm and ties it to her wrist. Yuvraj and bebe smiles. Usha is confused.
“problem solved, from now on keep a tract of the time, okay?” said yuvraj
“thank you beta, I really didn’t think anyone would remember. Thank you so much” said Usha
“ how can I possibly forget the birthdays of two pretty ladies? That too just a day apart. How amazing is that” said yuvraj
“you are quite a drama king yuvi” said bebe pulling his ears. “ and where is bday gift?”
“right in front of you!!” said yuvraj laughing.
“good joke but that wont work on me” said bebe pretending to be angry.

Usha looks at them half smiling half sad. She then looks at her wrist watch. She seemed to be missing something. Somewhere she is jealous of the bond yuvraj and bebe shares. But she is also happy to see them together like this.
