"Sab hai na fuggy? We are about to reach "
"Haan Abhi I've taken everything"
Around ten minutes later..
Ding Dong..
"Priya! There is someone at the door.. Can you get it?"
"Theek hai ma I will go. But it's your turn the next time okay?"
"Done, go" her mother replied, smiling to herself..
Priya opened the door and her jaw dropped when she saw who her guests were.. Were they here for real?
"Yes it's us", Abhi replied grinning, knowing what that reaction meant..
"You won't invite us inside Priya?", Pragya asked, smiling fondly at Pri.
"Priyaaa who is it?", her mother called from the kitchen, effectively bringing her back to reality..
"Uh.. Abhi.. Pragya.. Aap log.."
Abhi and Pragya looked at each other and started chuckling..
"Okay if you won't do the honors, we will invite ourselves in", Abhi announced and came and stood beside Priya on one side while Pragya stood on the other.. They turned her to face the living room and took her in..
Priya's mother came to the living room wondering why her daughter was not answering her question.. She was surprised to see the people standing in front of her.. Of course she knew who they were.. Wasn't her daughter one of the rockstar's biggest fans? She went to every concert possible and even managed to get a poster autographed by him, thanks to her friend 😆
"Mr and Mrs Mehra? What a pleasant surprise !! How are you?..Please take a seat.. ", she spoke to them with a warm smile wondering at the same time how they knew her address..
Priya was out of her state of shock by then and she looked at them.. "Abhi it really is you! How? I mean why? No I mean.."
"Haha relax Priya! Yeah it's us..and before we can explain why we are here..", he turned to look at Pragya and both of them looked back at Priya "A very happy birthday to you"..
Priya was so overwhelmed that she had tears ..her mother was smiling at the scene in front of her, watching her daughter's most favorite rockstar, here in their house, wishing her and making it all the more special for her..
"Arey! Why are you crying! It's your bday today baba! ", Pragya asked her and Priya quickly wiped her tears, replying with a "happy tears..it's just.. I can't believe you guys are here to wish me!! I .. I don't know what to say"..
"Okay and now for the story of how we are here.. I am sure that will make you smile", Abhi said smiling at her and continued...
"I know how you have ALWAYS been there in all my concerts..cheering and singing along like so many other fans..probably from my first few concerts itself? My fans are my everything and I am the rockstar today because of them..it used to be fun to see familiar faces in my concerts..it used to be overwhelming, all the support and love you guys give me..and I have seen you so many times and after a point I knew you would be there with your gang of friends, wherever I perform.. We even met once,correct?
I don't get the time to thank my fans personally but that does not mean I don't love them.. So yeah during my concert last month, after it was done, I saw one of your friends shouting that it was your bday in a few days and that I should wish you.. I had my coolers on so I made it seem like I didn't hear her , sorry about that (he chuckled) ..but later on, I had asked my manager to contact her to meet me.. We met and she told me about how you even wait all night to listen to my albums the moment it releases and all that..Thankyou SO much Priya..
Yeah I don't go meet all my fans but you are special.. I felt like doing something on your bday so I asked her what you like ,apart from my concerts of course ", he said winking at her and Pragya chuckled..She loved looking at the mix of expressions on Priya's face.. She was proud of her Abhi too..
Abhi continued.."So yes, with whatever she told me, Prags and I came up with this..", he said, taking an envelope from Pragya's hands..
Priya, who had still not processed whatever he said, just looked on.. She was not sure if this whole thing was a dream..
"Here..Happy bday once again", Abhi said, placing the envelope in her hands..
Priya looked at that and then back at him, blinking a few times..
"Arey open it na", Pragya encouraged her and Priya did that with mildly shaking fingers..
And what did she find inside?
"Welcome to Warnes Bros Studio tours London. Hope you have a great time in the world of Harry Potter and his friends"
"T..tickets to the hogwarts tour?"😲, she asked,stunned at their gesture..This man was a rockstar and just because he got to know that she was his very big fan,he wanted to make her bday special with something she LOVED! It was Harry Potter!!! Hadn't she been wanting to visit London just for this for a long time now?but wait.. How can she accept this?
Abhi and Pragya saw the change in her reaction from shock to surprise to being unsure ..
Her mother was shocked too and she was not sure if accepting such a big thing was a good idea..
"Abhishek..woh "
"Aunty.. Please don't refuse.. I don't do this always, we felt like doing this for Priya.. Trust me that place is amazing! We are potter heads too.. She will have a wonderful time! We wanted to see a fellow potter fan happy",he replied grinning at Priya
Her mother agreed slowly and Priya finally found her voice .."Abhi..Pragya.. This is such a big and a wonderful gesture.. I am just hoping I don't get up and realize all this was a dream.. You guys coming home was one unforgettable moment and these tickets are the icing on the cake..I just ..I can't tell you what I am even feeling right now..Thankyou".. She got up and went to hug them.. They got up just in time and the trio had a group hug..
Her mother found her phone on the side table and was quick to take a picture of this beautiful moment.. This man had a heart of gold. Not everyone does something as big as this for their fans.. She felt happy seeing her daughter so excited..
Abhi and Pragya stayed for a couple more minutes and left,after taking selfies and signing few edits that Priya had gotten printed,to try her luck and get his autograph on,in his next concert..
This was her most memorable bday. AbhiGya and Harry Potter.. What more could she possibly have asked for? And now! It was time to thank her friend for making this whole thing possible..She ran to her room dialing her friend's number, giving her a line by line account of what happened the past half an hour..😃
