Aditya is standing holding the bike…
Staff:congratulations sir…
Adithya turns. . .
Staff: from this moment this bike is yours.
Adithya takes the key and stands surprised.
Staff: right after the day you saw this bike, your mom came and booked it for you.
Adithya is surprised. His mom calls him over phone standing outside watching his reaction,
Mom:I don’t like it when you buy things, but I love buying things for you. Surprise!
Adithya gets teary eyed…
At their house,
Aditya is sitting beside his mom who is sleeping.
Adithya disturbs her and she wakes up.
Adi:you look so innocent while sleeping.
Mom:everyone looks innocent when sleeping. Only when one is awake you can see their true colours.
Adi: okay, I have written a letter for you.can I read it out for you?
Mom:A letter! Why not…
Adi:don’t laugh! Okay?
Mom nods.
Adi:To my dear mom.
She feels elated.
Adi: kya hua?
Mom: you called me mom?
Adi: Hmm…. tell me why am I calling you lakki?
Mom: short form of Lakshmi ,lakki!
Adi: Nope!
Mom:what! Till now, I was thinking like this.
Adi:the answer is in the end of this letter. So be patient let me read….
Mom nods.
Adi: To my dear mom, sometimes I wonder if my body has two hearts. Would it be possible to love you so much by a single heart? I love the fact that I love you.
She gets teary eyed and massages his head.
Adi: you have simplified my life so much that none of the problems seems problematic at all. They all seem trivial.
His friends calls him out,
Mom:I will read it of my own.
Adi:no,I can only express it…
He leaves.
Aditya along with his friends reaches a theater….
The movie has already started.
Friend:I asked you to hurry up…
Adi:it’s not too late.
They get seated.
Time passes. . . Movie’s interval.
His friend and some other goes out. Maya is seen in the seat next to him.
He look around and both see each other together.
Aditya again waves Hai at her…
Adi:are you feeling better now?
Maya frown..
Adi:you was at hospital,right? So..
She nods yes.
Adi: so now tell me.. what injustice I have done to you? I came running to return your bag thinking of getting 100 kilograms of blessings. But you were nowhere to be seen. Do you know how bad I felt?
Maya:I am sorry.
Adi:fine. What’s done is already done. Now do one thing. My house is in a walkable distance. You will come along with me after the movie ends. Okay?
Maya:fine.
Adi:Have you come alone?
Maya:I have come with my cousin she has gone out.
Adi: will you have something to eat or drink?
Maya:No thanks.
Adi:come on. You will have to take something for having met again….
Aditya stands up. Maya frowns on his gesture.
Then,Aditya sits again.
Adi:No need. If I leave you alone for a while, you will again disappear.
Maya looks at him.
Movie ends…
Aditya and Maya are walking on the road.
Adi:Not bad. Your cousin is pretty friendly. See how weird life is…I had no plans for a movie today, but my friends take me and I met you… that’s why it’s said that life is full of miracles and surprises. What do you say?
Maya:life isn’t what you said.. this is life.
Maya shows him a beggar on the footpath.
Maya: full of problems and pains.
Adi:so according to you, everyone has life full of problems and pain.
Maya:yes…
Adi:looks like you don’t know this city very well. That’s why you are saying this. There is an area where people are living happily without no problems and pain till date since many years….
Maya gets doubtful.
Adi:do you believe me?
Maya:that’s impossible!there is no one without problems.
Adi:then come with me. I will take you there now. See for yourself
Maya hesitates to go.
Adi: come… aren’t you curious to see? If you don’t come,I won’t return your bag.
Maya still hesitates….
Adi: please come. I ran like a mad dog behind the thief to get your bag. Please. I have got a cut in my leg too.
Maya:fine…
Adi: please. . . You will enjoy a lot, it’s a good area.
They walk….
Thank you jasmine and shesha…

Loved Aditya and Lakshmi’s bond throughout the chapter. Lakshmi’s dialogue regarding surprise was really nice. Aditya feelings for his written on a letter and reading it, was fantastic. Clumsy boy had left the letter in half way. Maya-Aditya scenes are well written. Really want to know where Aditya took Zoya
