Richa laughed and ruffled his hair....

"Be a good boy today and I will reward you more than you can imagine.... "

She winked at him

"Promise..... "

Rudra asked egarly.....

Richa smiled and walked away for putting her empty coffee mug in the kitchen, with Rudra following her behind ......

End of Flashback....

Richa's eyes welled up with the memories. She wiped her tears and walked away from the rising sun, shining brightly on her retreating back.

Richa was getting ready to visit Rudra in hospital, she took a leave from library today.

The doorbell rang......

Richa opend the door.....

Rishi was standing there with lots of bags and flowers in his hands with a charming smile.

Richa raised her brow in question....

"At least show some sympathy Richa..  My arms are ready to fall off with holding all these bags for so long "

Richa helped him with the bags and give way to him to enter the house

"What are you doing here Rishi. ??"

"You are so mean Richa,  is this your way to greet a friend. ?? "

"It's 9  in the morning Rishi, is this the right time to visit a friend, who also happens to work"

"Take a leave today "

"What. ??"

"I said take a leave today "

"Why. ??"

"Because I want to spend today with you "

"Rishi.  ??"

" Yes. ??"

"Are you okay. ??"

"Yep, Why?? "

Richa was confused with Rishis behavior, his way to talking....

"Rishi.... Please leave, I m busy today "

"with What. ??"

"What do you mean Rishi. ??"

"Nothing..... Just take a leave, I have planned all day today according to your preference ...."

"Why have you planned all day today, according to My preference... "

"Because it's your Birthday  "

Rishi said looking into her eyes deeply...
Richa's heart started beating faster with Rishi gazing into her eyes so intently....

"How do you know that it's my birthday today. ??"

"I know everything about you Richa"

Rishi said without breaking his gaze....

"Whatttt....what do you mean. ??"

"I know today is your Birthday and you hate to be alone today so I m here to fulfill my duties as your good friend"

Richa was confused but didn't know what to say....

Rishi started opening the bags...
He brought
Her favorite breakfast....
Her favorite flowers.....
Her favorite cake.....

Richa was stairing at the things in front of her.....

Rishi was putting flowers in the vase...
It was the same flower bouquet Rudra gave her on her birthday every year.
