Chapter 29 - Surprises

Standing in front of Avni was none other than Anubhav Oberoi, looking more handsome than usual, dressed casually in jeans and Denim Shirt, smiling heartily at her.

"How" was all Avni could ask, gaping at him with her opened mouth and wide eyes, when he walks toward her and said heartily "Happy birthday love".

He moves forward to hug her but stopped himself when he saw Senior Rathore's standing there.

"Just escaped by a hair," he muttered to himself and gave a cheesy smile to Senior Rathore's.

Not like they would have commented on it. Senior Rathore's were one of the few people who were too friendly with their children. All that mattered to them were their happiness.

But, they were also glad to their children for never breaking their trusts and getting involved in bad company or business.

Yes, they did not know Vihaan's addiction to Alcohol, and the reason could be any.. But, apart from it, Vihaan too had never given them any trouble.

"Well, Well, we will tell you what all you want to ask after rituals, first come here and do it," said Mrs Chaya Rathore gesturing Avni to go to her. She was standing with Senior Rathore's at the edge of Avni's bed.

Since their childhood, on every birthday of them, Avni, Vihaan and Vansh had seen Mrs Chaya making something sweet for them and, every time it would be something different. When they were young, they had always eaten an Indian dish, but when they grew up and, their preferences add other bakery products, she started making them.

Mrs Chaya opened the box, which was with her all the time, and placed in front of Avni.

"Chocogulla( An Indian sweet consisting of a ball of curd cheese cooked in chocolate syrup)" squealed Saaransh, Anubhav and Shanaya at the same time.

"It's Anubhav's favourite, Badi Maa," blushing hard, Avni spoke, stealing glances with Anubhav.

"Yes, I know. In fact, he was the one who suggested me as I was confused about what to make" smiling at Anubhav, Chaya made Avni eat it and wished her once again.

"Look, Look, someone is blushing hard" Speaking in a low volume so that only they can hear it, Shanaya teased Avni when she could not control herself.

Shanaya had always loved teasing her loved ones.

Glaring at Shanaya, Avni signed her " Stop teasing me else see me what I do with you", but Avni too knew it was not going to affect Shanaya and she stopped minding when Shana continued teasing her.

Minutes later, when Sanaya ate chocogulla which Avni had served to all, she could not keep herself for mȯȧning in delight, and at the same moment, Vihaan coughed hard.

"Wow Aunt, it tastes delicious!" eating the full chocogulla, she looked at chaya to ask" Can I have one more", ignoring the surprised looks Vihaan and Saaransh gave to her.

Saaransh leaned closer to Shanaya to whisper in her ear" I did not know you love eating".

Coughing, Shanaya looked at Saarnash and spoke to justify herself" I do not love eating, I love desserts."

Scanning her, Saarnash spoke" I wonder how you manage your body well when you eat desserts too much'.

Giggling, Shana leaned closer to him and, whisper in his ear"Should I tell you a secret".

Nodding his head, Saaransh smiled when he heard Shana telling him" You know, back in my college times, I was not this perfect. I was neither healthy nor slim because I would eat a lot and then I would walk a lot, so it would keep me balanced."

It was the first time for Saaransh to hear any girl telling him about her not so perfect body, and he realized Shanaya was different from others.

He looks at her with love, adoring her purity, her beautiful heart and spoke back "So how come you are in a perfect figure?"

Shana spoke with pride" I started walking and exercising more and, I control my diet a little" and gesturing toward her body, she continued" And here I am, the sėxy Shanaya" and giggled, but stopped when saw others passing a look at both of them.

"Haha, you are funny", ignoring the looks, Saaransh continued the conversation.

"I know" beaming, Shanaya answered back, while kept on looking straight toward Avni, who was engrossed in some serious conversation with Rathore's and Anubhav.

Looking back at her, Saaransh replied:" You are cute and beautiful, too."

It took a moment for Shnaaya to accept it. Yes, she had heard many people complimenting her, but it was always hard for her to accept or take the compliments.

For her, she was just a normal girl.

"Thank you" blushing at the compliment, Shanaya turned her attention to him and passed a genuine smile at him.

...........................................

Thirty minutes later, all of them except, Anubhav, was sitting on the couch on the hall waiting eagerly for Avni.

Anubhav was roaming in the large hall as he could not keep his excitement at bay. He was so eager to see Avni.

Excitedly waiting for Avni to come, Anubhav turns his attention to the descending figure on the stairs when he heard the click of the heels and saw Avni wearing black dress carving her beauty and her figure.

It took a moment to Anubhav to slide his gaze past her and to appear calm and normal.

Anubahv walks toward Avni, his gaze making her blush harder and taking her hand like a gentleman, spoke in a love-filled tone " You are looking, so beautiful, love".

He meant every single word if it. He had no words to describe the beauty of Avni.

For him, she was cute, beautiful, charming, hot, sėxy and every single word a person can use to praise someone's beauty at the same time.

Earlier, in the Avni's room, Avni was surprised when they have told her about her date with Anubhav.

Usually, after everyone would wish her, they all would go to sleep and would host the party at night.

Taking Anubhav's hand, she moves toward Vihaan and Saransh who were sitting together, like always, and sitting beside them on the other couch was Sanaya with Vansh, as always.

Avni smiled knowingly, for, since the last few days, she had been watching them sitting in the same pattern as if they had created their own seating pattern, Vihaan and Saaransh, Shnaya and Vansh.

"So, when you are going to tell me how come Anubhav is here," Avni asked on approaching them.

"We will tell you after you come dii," said Vihaan, who had stood up when Avni came to them.
