"Rohit..I want to talk to you!"
He looked behind and then at Sonaskshi..
"(Cough) Yeah sure..Tell me Sona.."
S - Rohit.. I'm sorry I didn't know that today is your birthday..and..
R - Hey Sona.. it's totally fine you don't have to..
He was talking but his focus was on Ishita who was now tiptoeing to the door as to not to make any voice..
S - Come on Rohit!! You're bound to say that..but I must've done something for you..I mean afterall I'm your...
Even Ishita who was walking stopped in her tracks hearing that..and glared at him to which he shook his head by holding his Adam's apple..
Thankfully after almost uttering the word Sona had gone a little pink and averted her gaze from him not seeing their little interaction,
R - My??
S - I mean we're such good friends and I should've remebered your birthday..
R - Sona come on ya!! This is not some kind of obligation..that you should remember my birthday..come on!! It's ok happens..
Ishita glared at him when the three of them heard a cat meowing..
Sonakshi stopped for a moment
S - Well I..
*Meow*
S - Well the actual reason why I came here is..
*Meow*
She looked behind but it wasn't there..
S - Well I..
*Meow*
R - Where is that cat??
As soon as he said those words the cat almost jumped on Sonaskshi on the verge of scratching her..
She hugged him a reflex..
R - Sona you're ok??
S - Yes!! But is it gone??
R - Sona..I
The only way for him to scare off the cat was only if she left him..
Ishita smiled seeing that but knew the cat had to get out for them to talk..
She groaned inwardly..She was deadly allergic to cats..
She slowly made her way towards the cat lifting it..
Rohit almost shouted at her not to do so but she gestured him to stay quiet..
She kept the cat as far as she could and slowly went down the stairs ever so slowly without making any noise.
R - Sona..
S - mm??
R - It's gone..
S - What??
R - The cat Sona!!
S - Yeah right.. Sorry 😅..
She broke the hug awkwardly..
R - Hey.. it's ok..Now what is it that you wanted to tell me?
S - I.. it's just..here you go..
She gave him the little box that she had brought with her..
He smiled seeing that..
R - Sonaa!! 😄..you you didn't have to..
S - But I wanted to Rohit!!
He gave a warm smile at that,
R - Thank you 😊.. Thank you so much Sona!!
She smiled at him..
He made to open the gift..
S - Mmmhmm!! Not now!! And definitely not in front of me!!
He looked confused but relented..and kept it in his pocket!!
S - Once again Happy Birthday Rohit..
She gestured him to bend down
He did so..as she leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek..
She gave one last smile(Or blush) and went down the stairs...
Rohit gave a goofy smile and touched his cheek,
He made his way to the canteen but Raima Sumit and everyone were crowded in front of a bench,
He went there and slapped his forehead,
"Oh no!!" He said out loudly as Ishita was sneezing almost every 2 minutes and having difficulties breathing!!. Her face was in a shade of red with Ajit sitting beside her having an arm around her..
Rohit sat beside, pushing Ajit's hand off her and cradled her..
V - Who told you carry that cat?? You know you're allergic right??
I - Mom..I didn't go searching for it!!..I (sneeze)
R - Shh shh!! Mom... her inhaler!! Give it to me!!
He apllied the inhaler and and just hugged her locking her frame in his arms.. rubbing her back!!
She relaxed after a few moments..
I - I'm fine now!!
"Sorry" He mouthed feeling guilty..
She smiled and hugged him to which he tightened his arms around her..
V - Ishu! Are you still uncomfortable dear??
I - No Mom I'm fine..
V - Are you sure dear?! Should we go home??
"Mom! No!!" Rohit said immediately..
R - Not now!! Just let her relax for a while
I - No Mom if you want we can..ahh
He pinched her..
R- Stay a bit More mom!!!I mean it's hardly even 4 now..and I don't when I'll see you hereafter..
V - Alright fine.. We'll stay!!
R - Guys move!! Let her get some fresh air..
Pooja was looking here and there..
V - What are you looking for??
P - Ummm I was searching for the cat!!🧐
Literally everyone - 😐😐😐😐
P - I mean it was so cute 😍!! That's why!!
I - Pooji I left it right there behind that tree!! You can take it if you want sweetheart 😊..
P - Ishu I..
I - Please..go and search your bloody smelly cat 🙂🙂!!
Pooji smiled and went from there nonetheless.
And soon Rohit made sure that he and Ishita were alone..
R - Ishu I'm really sorry yaar I didn't realise..
I - Rohit just stop!! What's your fault if that came in middle of the way??
R - And who the hell told you carry that cat in your hands?
I - Come on that stupid cat was interupting you guys continuosly..I myself got irritated and took that demonic thing away from there!!
Rohit glared at her..
R - But you're ok na Ishu?? I mean..
I - I'm totally fine Goofball...
She tried to get off him but he didn't let her..She sighed
I - Now tell me what happened there after I went??
R - I..well She wished me
I - And??
R - And well she felt sorry that she didn't know that it was my birthday..
I - She didn't?
R - Yeah and...
She looked at him..
I - What???
R - Well she..you know..
I No I don't!! Now tell me!!
He sighed and kissed her cheek hoping she would understand but she was still clueless..
I - What's wrong with you Rohit??
R - Ok fine!! She kissed me!!
I - SHE DID WHAT??
R - ON THE CHEEK!! Don't get too excited..
I - Oh so that's why..🤦♀️you could've me told me that right..
R - Oooo and yes!!
I - Now what??
R - Umm she gave me a gift..wait..
He took the box out of his pocket..
I - Wow!! Cool!! Give it!!

She was having none of it and yanked it away from him..
I - A letter???
