Now that all of u know that the surprise from Preeto is the Birthday celebration of RB so will now keep updating on this post itself.

Part 3

Re-cap : As Preeto leads a blindfolded Rajbeer to the terrace, she makes him wait a while before he can take off his blind fold. Eventually when he does it, he is welcomed by a surprise and a sight beyond his imagination :

Draped in the emerald green sari he had gifted her, and holding a plate of Cake with candles on it, She starts to walk towards him, gliding elegantly, as her hair blew in the evening breeze - Her smile is beautiful and her eyes a reflection of her love; in the most sweet voice she begins to sing :

Happy Birthday to you'Happy Birthday'Happy Birthday'Happy Birthday to you'.

{All of a sudden, it dawns on him ' it IS his Birthday.

He had not taken note of the date, and had failed to remember the occasion''his "birthday"..'.It had ceased to have any significance for him years ago'.when, as a child his expectations had been met with disappointment year after year, due to the desertion by his mother and the neglect by his father'..there had been no celebrations for the past 18 years.

For him this date was just his 'date of birth', a mere factual detail on essential documents.

Every year, an envelope with cash had appeared on the night before of this day, with a note "Son, Get something for yourself" scribbled across the envelope ' expensive stationary customised with his father's name and the company seal. Gradually, the envelope of cash turned into cheque as he moved to boarding school; and eventually even that had stopped some years ago'.He had often suspected if his father ever remembered the day? He was sure his mother didn't' The date must have been marked on the calendar of his father's PA and the man must have arranged to have the cash or cheque delivered. He had never bothered to use the money. In time, Rajbeer had learnt to forget the date, which everyone else had also seemed to not remember ' it was easier this way.

After all these years, today his love was standing before him with a 'birthday surprise' for him'.She looked captivating' the love in her eyes and voice warmed his heart.

He could no longer contain his emotions'the 'surprise' had sort of jolted him ' struck him like an electric shock. His feet had got wedged on the spot, words were trapped in the pit of his stomach and it seemed he would soon stop breathing'He was paralyzed' His heart didn't know whether to marvel at Preeto's beauty, or at the presence of her love in his life, or at this adorable gesture from her?'.He just kept standing there, glued to the spot, wearing a blank look, unable to move a muscle; just gazing at her as she approached him, still singing 'Happy Birthday''

Oblivious to the true effect the surprise had on him, Preeto stood there smiling, every cell in her body lustrous with the love her heart contained'. Little by little, the emotions of his heart surfaced in his eyes'Was it time that had stopped or was it his heart that had stopped? The evening that was so alive a moment ago with mischief and flirtations, stood still'.

It was Preeto who broke the silence}

Preeto : Kya hua? Apna hi birthday yaad nahi hai?

{She walks closer to him and slips a hand into his, lacing her fingers through his and leads him towards the chairs & table kept in the center of the terrace.}

Preeto : "Chaliye'."

{He was still awestruck'his eyes follow Preeto but his feet wouldn't move'.She tugged his hand to yank him out of his statue like state}

Preeto : Arre'kya hua'.?...chaliye'.Cake katiye'.

{Rajbeer is helpless at that moment'overwhelmed by her love and besieged by his emotions'If ever a moment could take your breath away, this was that moment'he felt isolated in a crowded world, and yet, at the same time completely cocooned with all that he needs'

Ever since she had asked him to close his eyes, he had been anticipating some sort of a fun filled surprise, reminiscent of the effervescence that was essentially Preeto's character; his expectancy had amplified since he heard the tinkle of her payals; His heart had been thumping with excitement! But, even in his wildest imagination he had not thought of this'.How could he? He had completely forgotten about it being his birthday; so a celebration of it could not have crossed his mind. He couldn't recall ever mentioning his date of birth to her'Throughout the blind-folded walk and brief waiting, he knew she had something special for him, and he was eager to find out' but what Preeto had managed to present was completely unbelievable'

It was an enchanting evening'the terrace was their special place'.and she..she looked stunning'but more than anything else he was overcome with a plethora of emotion. Overwhelmed with the love he felt at this moment'her love had enveloped him completely'.His heart was full of gratitude for her love that was now an inseparable part of his life'.And to think that he had survived all these years without this love'how had he managed to? Now, this was as essential to him as air and water, if not more'her love was his elixir'.

She lead him to the table and chair and they settled down to cut the cake.

But, somewhere, in a dark corner, this moment had also awakened the pain of abandonment from his childhood. As he sat there with Preeto, he noticed the contrast between the two times - then he was alone, ignored by everyone, no one had bothered to celebrate his birth or his life; In fact, for Rajbeer his birthday had become synonymous with suffering.Every year on this day, he regretted his very existence; every year on this day, he questioned the purpose of his being, the meaning of his life; And today, this woman had not only transformed him and his heart, but her love had made his life itself a celebration!

Pre-cap : A celebration that Preeto had planned to perfection had brought back some unpleasant memories for Rajbeer. Can he ever come out of his past? Can her love be the healing balm? Is the night that was meant for celebration, going to turn into a dark one, laden with shadows of the past'or can the brightness of the present overcome it all?

😊It is just that the character of RB has been inspirational as he reminds of all the classic characters of the Charles Dickens and Jane Austen novels that I love so much.

😉And this love story has a 50s-60s movie flavour to it as it reminds of Dev saab-Nutan (Tere Ghar ke Saamne), Dev saab- Sadhna (Hum Dono), Sunil Dutt-Sadhna (Mera Saya) and all the other romantic movies which I love. Isi liye shaayad FF ka mazaa aap sabko bhi aa raha hai.😆
