Students are panicking as the time passes by, some are praying to God, some are calm, some are revising. Rhea ran to the girls who were standing outside the exam hall with the books open in their hands.

"Guys maine kuch padhai nahi ki." Rhea cried out to them.

[I have not studied a bit.]

Isha looked at her. "Waise maine konsi padhai ki hain." She again turned her attention to the book and started murmuring the notes.

[It's not like I have studied.]

Rhea gave her bewildered look. "Bhai main tere bharose aayi thi."

[Bro I came because I thought you studied.]

Isha gave her small smile. "Aur main tere."

[And me, for you.]

Anaya sighed. "I have told you so many times, study, study, study but no, you don't want to." She shook her head.

Kritika spoke in between. "It's alright, study the notes from top and important topics, it may help you."

Rhea quickly took the book from her bag and started studying when someone smacked her head. She hissed and looked up to see who hitted her while cursing with a pissed expression but her face turned soft when she saw Yash glaring at her.

"You didn't study, right?" Yash asked, narrowing his eyes. In response, Rhea showed her teeth. "Hehe."

Yash let out a deep sigh and shook his head. "Cover the important topics..." He looked at clock hanging on the wall. "...You still have one hour."

She nodded and turned her attention back to the book but after every two to three she would look at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Oii... sunoo!" Krish said coming with Jay.

[Hey... Listen.]

Everyone turned towards them. "Karan ka birthday hain-" Krish was cut off by Rhea's excitement.

"Karan bhaiya ka birthday hain!" Rhea exclaimed closing her book as all the students in the corridor looked at her. When Yash glared at her, she opened her book quickly and started studying.

[It's Karan bhaiya's birthday!]

Krish shook his head. "Aaj nahi hain. Jab last exam hain na tab." Anaya looked at Krish curiously asking him to continue.

[It's not today. When we last exam on that day it is.]

"Krish we will plan Karan's birthday later on. We have exam in next 45 minutes, let's revise." Yash said.

Revise? Idhar toh learn hi nahi kiya. Rhea thought to herself.

[Revise? I have not even study.]

Rhea shifted near Isha who was also studying with book in her hand. "Aaj main toh copy bhi nahi kar sakhti." Rhea whispered to Isha while keeping her gaze on the book.

[I can't even copy today.]

Isha looked at her with arch eyebrow. "Hamare baju mein 9th standard wale bethenge, unko commerce kya hi aata hoga..." Rhea rolled her eyes. "...Pehle seniors beth te the toh answers bata te the.]

[Beside us, students of 9th grade will sit and what will they know about commerce.]

[Earlier, seniors used to sit so they used to tell answers.]

"Seriously?" Isha gave her a look. "Padhai kar."

[Study.]

After a while, students started heading towards their exam hall. Krish held Isha's hand, making her turned around. "All the best." He said, smiling.

"All the best to you too." She grinned. "Ab hath chhod do mera, exam start hone ko aaya."

[Now leave my hand, exam is going to start.]

Krish quickly left her hand, flushed when he realized. When he spun, he saw Yash and Jay smirking at him with a teasing expression. "Kya hain?"

[What?]

"Kuch nahi." Jay replied whistling but he fell silent when he saw Aditya walking towards their direction. Aditya walked past him and went to Kritika. "All the best Kritika!" He said patting her head as she smiled and wished him back.

He then turned towards Jay. "Jay, All the best." He said, smiling while Jay gave a fake smile to him. Jay saw Aditya walking inside the classroom, it was same the exam hall as Jay.

On the other hand, Yash was inquiring Rhea, was was gulping while answering him. "So how much you studied?"

"A bit." Rhea lied, she didn't study at all.

Yash nodded. "I hope you studied that much so that you can pass." Rhea nodded while smiling awkwardly. "Good! Best of luck!" Yash said before heading towards his class.

Anaya looked around the corridor to locate Karan so that she can wish him best of luck. She spotted him, standing outside his class. She was about to go to him but stopped when she saw Kavya standing with him, talking to him.

Rolling her eyes, Anaya turned her feet towards her class.

Rhea and Isha walked inside the classroom with necessary things and keeping the bag outside the class. "Teri seat konsi hain?" Rhea asked.

[Where is your seat?]

Isha searched for a moment and replied. "This first bench." She pointed at the nearby desk.

Rhea groaned and made her way to her seat. She found a boy of 9th standard seating beside her. "Oi bacche! Tumhari konsi exam hain?"

[Hey kid! Which exam do you have?"]

That boy turned towards her and scoffed. "Main baccha nahi hu."

["I am not a kid.]

Rhea rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She asked again. "Which exam do you have?"

"Science." He replied and turned his attention towards his friends before Rhea could ask anything further to avoid her. "Badtameez." She muttered.

[Mannerless.]

Soon the exam started, Rhea went through the paper gulping realizing she studied quater of the question in the last moment when Yash forced her but now she remembered nothing.

The boy sitting beside her tapped his pen near her, she looked at him. He slowly scooted beside her and whispered in a low voice. "Didi, iska answer bata do." He pushed his paper towards her and pretended to write.

[Didi, tell me answer of this.]

Rhea just stared at him with a frustrated and pissed expression. Idhar mujhe khud ka nahi aa raha aur yeh mujhe apna puch raha hain.

[Here, I am not able write to mine own paper and he is asking to help him.]

"Nahi aata mujhe. Main commerce wali hu." Rhea answered him and turned her focus on her paper. In response, the boy rolled his eyes.

[I don't know. I am a commerce student."]

Rhea somehow managed to write mcqs by coping from the girl who sitting on the row beside hers by sign language. But she moved to the question answer type question, she struggled.

There was her classmate, the class topper sitting ahead of her. She leaned forward. "Oi, Akash!" She whispered called but he didn't listened. "Akash!" She called again yet he didn't listened. She tried to call him twice, thrice but failed each time.

The next thing she did was trying nudging him by her feet but his long legs were spread forward. Seeing her struggling, her junior sitting beside her chuckled while she glared at him.

Without giving up, she tried to called him but stopped when the teacher passed from beside her. Once the teacher was gone, she was back to work.

Ek kaam karti hu, uske thighs pe Marti hu. She thought.

[Let me hit on his thighs.]

When she raised her foot while biting her lips to hit his thighs, Akash shifted forward due to which her foot ended up hitting him at wrong place making her eyes widened.

The boy beside her hissed as her foot hitted him feeling the pain of Akash.

Akash covered his mouth to cover his scream as his other hand dropped the pen. Next moment, he closed his eyes and rested his head on the desk while wincing as his empty hand slapped on the desk.

Rhea sat straight, gulping as she did not expect this to happened. "Sorry!" She whispered and started writing whatever came in her mind.

Her junior whispered to her. "Didi, aapne apna future bacha ne ke liye bhaiya ki future generation khatre mein daal di." Rhea glared at him, making him shut.

[Didi, in order to save your future, you put bhaiya's future generation in danger.]

Rhea sighed and look up, she saw Isha writing. Isne toh kaha tha isne kuch nhi padha. Juthi.

[She said she didn't study. Liar.]

Meanwhile, Isha was happy to see the paper as she turned pages, her smile grew wider. Yeh sab toh padha hain maine. Thank you bhagwan yeh puch ne ke liye.

[I have studied all this. Thank you God for asking this questions.]

But her smile fell when her eyes fell on a specific question. "This... ughh..." She groaned remembering she skipped the topic thinking it was not important.

Isha is sitting with books surrounding her as her phone is connected to the charger, while she watches one-shot videos to complete her syllabus.

Soon she got tired and shut her phone, rubbing her eyes. She opened her notebook, where her notes were written. One by one, she covered important topics.

But she stopped at a specific one as she counted pages, "This one topic covers 8 pages. This will not come in exam, maybe this is not important." With that she skipped that topic and went to another topic.

Isha's face was filled with regret for skipping it. She turned the page and found many questions from the topics she skipped. She groaned and hitted her forheard with the desk creating a sound.

"Ouch!" She winced, rubbing her forhead.

A week later, their exam ended. The students are walking out of the school happily. The girls and boys stood outside, waiting for Karan's arrival.

"Listen it's his birthday. Let's pretend we don't know it's his birthday." Krish suggested and everyone gave him a look.

"Krish! How lame and old can you be." Yash said. "Pretending not knowing his birthday is lame... and he already knows we know it's his birthday since we are celebrating for years."

"Let's suprise him by throwing a party!" Isha suggested.

"Nice idea!" Krish said, smiling at her as she smiled.

"Haan yeh karte hain!" Jay agreed.

[Yes! Let's do this."]

After reaching home, Karan dashed into his room knowing his phone will be filled with wishes. Changing his clothes, he sat on the bed and opened his phone with a deep sigh and a big smile.

He typed the same message thank you to everyone. He opened the text of Kavya who wrote a big para to him.

Kavya: Happy birthday Karan!!! Finally you are an adult now you can get your driving license that you were waiting for. Wishing you that your ahead years go the same as the previous went with happiness and fun. Thank you so much Karan for being such a elder brother and a friend to me. My wish to have a elder brother was completed by you, remember how I used to cry and feel jealous seeing my friends playing their brother. But now I don't after having you. Thank you for being with me through my hard time as my friend, brother, therapist, crime partner and what not.

I will be always rooting for you when no one will be!! So go and achieve what you want to.

And once again wishing you a happiest birthdayyyy!!

Karan smiled widely while reading her message, feeling deeply affected her words. "I am also grateful to have you as my younger sister." He whispered.

He went through some couple of messages but soon his face fell when there was no message from Anaya and she didn't even wished him today. "Why is she behaving so Strange lately?"

Just after some time, his phone buzzed with a notification and his face lit up with excitement when the message was from Anaya.

Anaya: Happy birthday Karan!! "Red heart emoji*

"Hayeee!!" Karan blushed and hugged his phone. "Did she just sent red heartttt"

After a while, Isha asked Karan to get ready saying they are going out. Karan thought of wearing his favorite colour shirt, he wore a sage green shirt with white pant as he styled his hairs and made his way downstairs.

When he went, there was hushed silence, no one was there was in living room nor kitchen, even lights were off. He called out Isha, her parents and Ikshan but no reply.

He then again went up to call Isha and Ikshan. He knocked on Isha's door, soon he realized the door was open and he opened it wide and went to inside to find noone. Then he opened Ikshan's door and there also no one was there.

He went downstairs and headed outside the house to check if car of his parents were there or not and to his suprise, his parents car was gone.

"Did they left without me?"

He sat on the sofa thinking, they might come back after few minutes completing their work.

Two hours passed by, the sky outside turned dark. He sat on the sofa feeling isolated. He messaged his parents and cousins but nobody saw his messages.

His stomach growled as he looked at the time, it was getting late. Soon story of Isha caught his eyes, he clicked on her story and saw her smiling as she posed towards the camera while smiling, next photo had her and Ikshan sitting side by side and the third was video of Her, Ikshan and His parents sitting in a restaurant smiling and laughing.

He turned his phone off and was half off through his room when there was blackout, he panicked and opened torch on his phone. Some whispers caught his attention.

"Oi light chalu kar!!! Light chalu kar! Usse andhere mein dar lagta hain!!" Someone whispered. "Aesa? Ruk." The next moment, lights were back.

[Hey turn on the light! Turn on the light! He is scared of dark.]

[Is is like that? Wait.]

Some noises came from downstairs as he slowly made his way downstairs, swallowing.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Everyone screamed synchronized on top of their lungs making him flinch and eyes widened, he clasped his hand on the chest feeling his heartbeat racing.

Karan covered his ears and closed his eyes as Krish stood with party popper in his hand. He waited for Krish to blow it but Krish wasn't able to, he struggled. But when nothing happened, Karan opened his ears and eyes, shaking his head at Krish was smiling whike struggling.

"Isse wapas dukan wale ko hi bech ke aana padega." Krish said, throwing the party popper on the side.

[I have to sell it back to the shop keeper.]

Soon one by one Everyone eagerly went and gave him a tight hug wishing him. Seeing the next person, his heartbeat raced again but for different reason this time.

Anaya stood in front of him, wearing sage green dress with square neckline and puffy sleeves, her short hairs opened reaching her shoulder. She hesitatedly took one step ahead and opened her arms to hug. He smile widely, accepting their hug.

"Aww... they are wearing matching clothes.." Isha called from behind.

They broke the hug and looked down at their outfit realizing they were matching. Karan blushed and Anaya started looking around feeling flustered.

"Koi sharma raha hain!" Kavya teased.

[Someone is feeling shy.]

"Shut up." Karan whispered to Kavya.

Next was Kavya who was beaming with her arms opened waiting for her turn making Karan laugh as he hugged him and kissed her temple as a brotherly love.

Seeing his interaction, Anaya can't help but feel jealous as she turned towards other side, avoiding looking at them.

As the cake cutting session started, Isha started recording cheering as the others started singing happy birthday song. To get a perfect shot, she started moving back without looking.

She bumped with something making her almost fall but a hand on her waist saved her. She looked back to see Krish standing and holding her to preventing her from falling.

Krish looked down and saw Isha staring at him, while the phone in her recorded the happy moment infront of them but they both seemed to be lost in different world.

A loud shout brought then back to reality as Krish abruptly left Isha's waist, his cheeks red. "Izhu sambhalo apne aap ko." He whispered.

[Izhu be careful.]

Isha feeling shy, quickly rushed from there and started cheering for Karan who was feeding cake to his parents.

"Next Meri chance! Meri chance!" She exclaimed.
