Neel

The hall is filled with people,lots of food,ladies talk, children running around, dancers dancing....this all would looks so good if only Matthew was here with me. This is the first time he is late for my birthday party he has never done this....as I was thinking a voice suddenly distracted me " chote seth where is your little bodyguard hahaha" ramu kaka please don't joke around I am seriously worried about him not being here....Neel I have taken care of you guys since you two were the size of a coconut trust me Matthew will be here in no time.

Yes you are right...huh all of a sudden my eyes were covered with cold hands I smiled and trund back and their was he my Matthew was smiling...wearing a long kurta where were you I was looking all over and got So worried...."shhhh come with me" I without having a second thought followed him...honestly him pulling me by my hand was not bad at all on contrary it felt nice as we went away from the gathering I came back to my sense...wait wait wait I have attend the puja. Yes I know Neel it will only take 2 min just close your eyes after saying that he put a ring necklace on me. Oh my god it's georgious I hugged him tightly I was happy for the gift but more happy that he did not avoid me. I don't want to leave him....I can't think of my life without him. With these thoughts on my mind we started walking on the grass loan honestly it was really nice walking while holding hands. Oh how I wish for this movement to stay like this forever but that was just my wishful thinking as I hear ramu kaka shouting that it's about the time for the puja to begin. We ran towards the Havan.

Finally everything is over. Now I can go and enjoy with my friends without any problem. We all gathered in a small guesthouse around the lake it was stunning. These kind of party are what I enjoyed here I can truly be myself. We all had a great time eating and talking about useless stuff it was so nice as we sat besides the fire place and fell asleep while talking.

But the real problem was the next day as I had to face mama and papa for my selfish demand  there were many questions in my heart...would i be aloud to go out for study...is it necessary for me to stay in the town...will they be disappointed with me...will they agree with my request of going out of the city to study with Matthew.....yes I am taking Matthew with me yes I know I am very selfish and I don't know what he will think about this but honestly I don't know what else to do I don't want him to make new best friend, I don't want to see anyone standing next to him.

I just want to have Matthew with me... whenever I see Matthew talk to someone and giggling all I feel is kicking that person away and these thoughts make me scared what will happen when he find that I have such thoughts will he think I am mental, will he leave me... Aaaaaaa I don't want to think about this right now. Let's  focus on the things ahead of me

Maa we need to talk to you.....it's important.....please

Neel's Mother (AKA savitri)

We know what you want to talk about. We will talk about it tonight at dinner

How did she know. I didn't tell this to anyone except Matthew, no he won't tell me on Mother...yes I am sure of it...it's not him

As I was thinking about it aadya pulled me.

Aadya

Come Neel everyone is waiting. Hurry up or Raj will finish all the lunch.

Yes yes I am coming. It was so beautiful I get to spend my birthday just like I wanted. At first I was worried that Matthew will still act like before and ignore me but he didn't.....he was very sweet.....aha what a perfect birthday I had

Matthew

Neel I have something planned just for you be free and come to the old temple around 8...okkkkk

Matthew wa-wait listen to me.......

(He ran away)

What do I do now I have to attend dinner with Maa and paa.

I can't miss the dinner and it will also start around 8

Aadya

Aree why are you worried just attend the dinner and go to meet him afterwards

Ya you are right i will leave the dinner as fast as I can....thanks then I will also go get ready

(after Neel leaves)

Raj

Shouldn't we go and tell Matthew

Aadya

This is the reason why everyone calls you dumb....don't Butt in where you are not supposed too.

Dinner time 

Even though I said I will leave as soon as I can...I don't know how I can leave early

The environment on the table is tens as always but

Maa about what we wanted to say earlier

Savitri

We know, jain shabh and we have already chosen a good college for you and Matthew where you both can go.

The address of the villa is with ramu kaka

Neel

But Maa I don't want to study medical and I thought you would never allow me to go out of city

Savitri

Child we have already seen all the bookmarks you left on the college magazines and we know you were thinking of X college.

Don't worry we support you we want you to follow your dreams and live well

Neel

(Hugs his mom)

Maa you are the best

Savitri

Now go we know Matthew is waiting for you

Neel

Yes we are very happy...thank you

I sprinted to the old temple as fast as I could the air that felt tens a minute ago was now making me feel as if I was flying in the sky. This happy news I must tell Matthew.

Back at dinner table

Jain shabh

Sometimes we are very worried about this child he carries his heart on his face. The world is too cruel for him savitri

Savitri

He is just like you...when you were young...his love might not be excepted by all but the silly child him self is unaware of it

Jain shabh

We all have our battles to fight...and we don't want him to feel scared and alone

Savitri

He is more brave then what you think after all he has our blood flowing through him.
