Part 5
Next day at college, the gang was very anxious, curious and excited about dia's plan. Meanwhile, Nupur dropped her plans of "making sammy's birtday special in her own way" as she knew she won't be able to do it !!! So she joined hands with the rest of the gang!!! The surprise could not be held in college as they won't get time for the preparations !!! They thought that Mayank's house would be a perfect location for the surprise. This way, they will even get to see his house, andthe house would be left to them alone as his mother hadgone to Delhi for some personnal work.
In the classroom, Dia was scribbling on a piece of paper. It read all that the gang had to do, balloons for Benji and Uday, food for Mayank, sweet dish for Gunjan and cake for Nupur and Dia. Just then she heard footsteps coming towards the classroom. Guessing that it would be Samrat, she crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into her purse."Just saved", she thought to herself. In the canteen, she somehow managed to tell everyone of their responsibilities without Samrat's knowledge.
The next day was Samrat's birthday. They all wished him and said rather innocently, "Sorry Sammy, we could not make any preparations as the exams are approaching. We are really sorry Samrat". Samrat was dishearted but he did not tell them, afterall, their studies were equally important !!! While leaving the college premises, the rest of the gang left for Mayank's house while Dia and Samrat were alone in the college. "Sammy, see how ignorant my siblings are!!! They left without me !!! Would you mind dropping me off please?", said Dia with a cute smile pasted on her lips. Samrat agreed and it did not take him much time to realize that the instructions given by Dia did not lead to her house. At Mayank's house, the gang shouted, "Happy Birthday Samrat". Samrat was overjoyed. They danced and celebrated and enjoyed themselves !!!
Then it was time for dinner. A strange but pleasant aroma filled the house as Mayank brought in the food with Gunjan. He announced, "Today i have prepared the dinner, tell me how it is. And don't dare take any faults, afterall, my best wishes go with each bite !!!". Samrat bit into the pizza, the paneer, the puri. One tiny bite here and one tiny bite there. "Wow, great food!!!", exclaimed Samrat. "Wait a second, there is still a sweet dish", said Mayank. "Oh no! Sorry but my stomach has no room for a sw.................", Samrat stopped midway in his speech as he saw Gunjan carrying a bowl full of carrot halwa. He gobbled up most of it and said, "sometimes we need to make room for special things". "How was it?", asked Mayank. "Oh! Marvellous the food was !!!", said Samrat, "I did not know you were such a good cook mayank!!!!". Mayank smiled and asked, "What did you like best?". Samrat replied," The carrot halwa, my favourite. It was so nice, i could have kissed the hands of the person who made it !!!", he said winking at Mayank. But then he saw his joke backfire when Mayank said, "That was one dish made by Gunjan. Would you still KISS HER HANDS???. Samrat stared at Gunjan who was blushing.
Just then Dia announced the entry of some "special guests". A man wearing a formal suit appeared with a lady in a saree. Samrat could not control his excitement ,"Mom! Dad!"
