At her home Kashish misses Sujal. Resting her head against the wooden frame of the window, she stares out at the ferociously pouring rain.
She reminiscences how they met for the first time.
*Flashback*
On the day of Valentine Kashish is feeling gloomy as she doesn't have any Valentine in her life. She is invited to a party by her friend Mehek which she tried declining twice but failed. Surrendering in front of Mehek's wish, Kashish finally gets ready in a beautiful pink full sleeved salwar kameez. Her glistening silver chandelier earrings matching perfectly with her dress. Her silver bangles adorning her hands.
Sighing, Kashish sits in front of her study table and brings out her deck of cards to know - Can she look forward to something exciting in this party? The cards that get revealed weren't expected by her! They turn her mood downside up! Her eyes glitter with joy. Her cheeks turn warm, blushing.
THE LOVERS
TWO OF CUPS
ACE OF CUPS
Can she believe it? Should she believe it?
Getting up she swirls around in joy.
She is fed up of her monotonous life and needs some spark. The spark of love! The spark of romance! She wants to know how it feels to date someone. She wants to know how it feels to be dated by someone!
At the party Mehek makes her guests to play a game. Many heart shaped balloons are suspended in the air and everyone is asked to catch a balloon for themselves, holding the thread. Each balloon has a letter imprinted on it. The two people who turn out to have the same lettered balloons are to be teamed up provided that the team turns out to be of a girl and a boy otherwise one of the two has to let the balloon go up again. The teamed up pairs are then expected to bounce the balloons to each other i.e. passing it to each other without letting any of the two balloons fall and simultaneously walking from one end of the room to the other. Who succeeds in accomplishing the task properly wins the game.
The game initiates and Sujal and Kashish turn out to be the pair and not only that but also the winner pair!
This win marks the initiation of their friendship. A bond of friendship that in no time turns into a bond of love and romance!
Their likes and dislikes they discover to be almost same.
What began with a normal 'Hi' soon turns into late night chats and late night 'Byes'.
*Flashback ends*
"Aaj pata nahi kyun Sujal, Charu aur Akshat ko dekh kar mujhe tumhari.... humare rishte ki yaad aa gayi. I miss you so much Sujal. I love you so much!",
cries Kashish, closing her eyes, knitting her brows in loss and pain.

"I am proud of you Yudi!",
appreciates Dr. Shalini, smiling.
Yudi looks towards her and stares her back with his eyes filled with love and admiration for Dr. Shalini.
Everyone smiles as they understand their emotions for each other.
Rajveer entwines his fingers to Naina's sending her his silent message of love and admiration. Naina cascades her eyes out of shyness and tightens her hold on his hand, reciprocating the gesture of love and admiration. Rajveer smiles, never looking towards her and sighs in relief and fulfillment.
