                    Dear Love,
No matter how old I grow, no matter how the time changes. But my love for you would never change....!

Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The rising sun cast a rosy hue accross the morning sky. Golden fingers of the first ray of sunlight lit up the nature.

Great Hustle bustle was going on in RC haveli. Each and every corner of the haveli was filled with glitters of happiness. Screaming swarms of
children ran through the house as bubbles floated in the air and balloons drifted around aimlessly on the floor among the discarded wrapping papers. Multicolored banners were draped on the top each door and the whole Mansion was decorated granduerly, mostly with flower garlands. A huge cake coverd in thick white icing and decorated with tiny pink roses sat on the middle of the table surrounded by brightly coloured bowls that were filled with Roshgolla.

Although in a very short time, they arranged everything magnificently. After all it's the birthday of the soul of RC Mansion......Anirudh and Bondita.

Finally, everyone's impatience longing eyes spotted the birthday King and Queen, their eyes popped out, mouth remained open, words died in throat itself as they gaped at the two figures without blinking. Anirudh and Bondita embellished themselves in magnificent traditional costumery, majestically descended through the staircase, holding each other's hand. The genial smile adorning on their face was enough to lit up the surroundings.

Suddenly their session of gawking Anirudh_Bondita came to a halt and next the creatively decorated hall room echoed with cheerful intense clapping and whistles as to welcome them in full exuberant. Everyone celebrated their birthday quite enthusiastically and blithely making them contented.

"May I have a moment, Bondita ma'am...?" He spoke in a husky whisper near her ear, observing around to find anyone's eye on them. Bondita jumped to hear his voice, started looking here and there nervously. "No one is here, except...." In the smallest fraction of a second he pulled her towards him holding by her waist. Her heart thuded, eyes widened as in reflex hands encircled around his neck to support herself. "Except Us...." leaning more to her. Blew his hot air on her beautiful face which turned crimson red. He Smirked "except you and me...Jaan"

She gulped hard to his this side of his again after ten years. Numerous butterflies were creating war in her stomach, Heart jumping in excitement. still wiggled to be free from him before anyone sees them in this proximity but all was in vain. Nudging with her nose, he let his thumb graze her plumpy lips lazily, whispered " Since morning you are busy with children, guests and friends. and this poor Anirudh was roaming alone. So now...be ready to be punished so hard...." Her eyes readily got closed in anticipation as their lips were inches apart to melt in each other, that's when...

"Anirudhh...."

They jerked away from each other.They AGAIN! TCH..TCH..TCH!! Anirudh groaned inwardly out of frustration to see them smirking...Saurav, Salim, Batuk, Somnath and their wives. Bondita turned around in embarrassment. Drawing a forced smile on lips, Anirudh uttered...

"You all were having launch, Right? Then why here?"

"Ahh...Dada, How can we have launch without you?" Batuk said sweetly, earning a tight lipped smile from his Dada.
