Peheli hi nazar me kuch hum kuch tum

Ho jaate hai yun ghum

Naino se barse rimjhim rimjhim

Humpe pyar ka sawan.....

Pihu's pov

"Patang patang.....pakro...."

I was running behind the kite. I love kite. I never leave a single chance in catching it. Why should i let go the thing which is in my reach. That's why i never let go on anything around me.

"Pakro......"- i shouted.

Someone held the kite. He is very tall. He easily caught the kite. I'm too short, it's 5'0 only. That's why i have to fight hundred times more to catch a kite. But look how easily he pulled that kite from the tree branch.

I stood behind him.

"Give it to me...i saw it first"- i said.

He was laughing, i can sense that from his posture.

"Listen, don't make fun of me....i will tell my rajababu and he will punish you.."

"Oh really....then go and tell him..."

"Give it to me...."- i pushed him a little and immediately his face revealed infront of my eyes.

"Rajababu!!"- i gasped.

He was suppressing a laugh while my heart stopped beating permanently after seeing him that close.

"Yes Rajababu...now tell me who are you? Where do you live chutki?"- He asked me by raising his brow.

He is looking more handsome while raising his brow.

"I...i...i...stayed here....beside your mansion"- i stuttered in nervousness.

Isn't it obvious to stutter infront of your dream?

"But i have never seen you"- he was looking confused.

"But i see you everyday Rajababu....i know everything about you...i regularly clean the garden because i know that you like flowers.."- i said shyly.

"You do? Really?? That means the beautiful garden has been made by you?? Oh my god...amazing....why i never met you before?"

I felt so much happy from inside. It felt like i got everything just by his few words praising.

"We had met before"- i said with shy smile.

"Really?? But when?? I don't remember"- he said by knitting his brow.

"I was 10 and you are 17.....we had no money for my admission and my baba was asking for money....you heard it from somewhere and you gave all your pocket money for my admission...."- i said.

"Still i can't remember....anyway it's nice to meet you.....now take this kite, it's yours..."

"You can keep it Rajababu if you want"- i said.

"This belongs to you....this kite and also......"

"Also?....."

"I also belong to you..."

My happiness knew no bound. I stared at his eyes. So deep and intense. His smile is so pure and heart warming.

"Rajababu......"- i whispered softly.

He smiled at me and suddenly he splashed so much water on my face.

"Rajababu....huhhh...."- i gasped hard.

"Morning pihubabu....wake up...."

I opened my eyes angrily.

"Jiji.....i will kill you"- i screamed.

She broke the most beautiful dream of my life.

"Really??? Baba is waiting in the temple and here you are dreaming of your Rajababu...."- Jiji mocked me.

I make a pout and slowly get down of the bed.

"Very bad jiji..."

"Yes i know I'm bad....now go and get ready...we have lots of work to do...it's your Rajababu's birthday"- Jiji said.

I smiled broadly.

"I know...may be that's why he came to my dream....you know jiji, he gifted me a kite and he was smiling at me....Jiji, what do you think?? This year he will notice me right? Then i will introduce myself....hi I'm pihu...do you remember me? You gave money for my admission when i was 10"

Jiji started to laugh this time. Her anger vanished. Jiji pulled my cheeks.

"If Rajababu notice you, then what will you do? You always hide whenever you saw him...what kind of a crush is this?"- Jiji asked me in between her laughs.

"This is not crush....This is my love"- i immediately ran inside the washroom.

Yes this is me Pihu, loving my Rajababu when i was just 10. The little kindness he showed for me took my little heart away permanently.

I started loving him from that time. He is the yuvraj of Koshal family. One and only heir. He will be the next king of the koshals. They are rich but that doesn't mean they are arrogant. They are the most kind royal family of our kashi.

And My Rajababu is the most kindest soul i have ever found. He is charming, at the same time he is the owner of a good heart.

I watched him from far whenever he came into the Garden. He always spoke with kindness to everyone. I have never seen him getting angry on anyone. He is the most sophisticated and a true gentleman.

I'm the daughter of their family priest. I sell flower outside the temple. Also i worked in the mansion. Rajababu loves flower. So i always keep the garden clean for him. Beside this i also made the dishes which he liked the most.

I know we never came face to face. But still I'm happy to see him from far. This love is growing inside me just like a source of light. I have no expectations. I just want to love him from all my existence.

After getting ready, i arrived the temple. I opened our small shop. Actually it's not a shop, it's a small van.

I was continuously keeping my eyes on the entrance. Today is Rajababu's birthday and he will come anytime with his ma baba.

My heart rate was increasing with each passing second. Suddenly my heartbeat accelerates when i heard the sound of their car.

He is coming!

Within few minutes they all entered to the temple premises. I peeped from the flowers to see my Rajababu. And there he was walking with a smile on his lips. He was wearing a light green kurta and looking truly like a king.

I keep staring at him dreamily. His mother and father were walking forward while his elder sister Tuhin walking behind them and Rajababu at the end.

Suddenly Tuhin mam looked back.

"Rajveer, please buy some flower....we are entering the temple"

"Okay di...."

I lowered my eyes and keep myself busy on arranging the flowers. I know he will buy flowers from santa mausi's stall.

"Can you please pack some garlands and loose flowers for puja?"

My legs shook and my breathing hitched on my throat when i realised that he is standing infront of my van.

My heart was beating crazily. My hands shook and i felt like I'm gonna faint at any moment.

Is it real? Or dream?

Is Rajababu talking to me?

This is his first words to me.

I raised my eyes and found him busy on his phone. He is looking at something with a slight smile. Then he picked up the call.

"Why did you call? Oh you remember that it's my birthday? Oh no no.....it's not a sarcasm...."

He was teasing someone on phone. I stared at his mischievous smile. His eyes were sparkling with something.

I felt so happy when i found him that much happy.

"Hurry please......"- he stared at me and requested me politely.

I immediately lowered my eyes and started to pack the flowers.

"No i was talking to the girl who is selling flower....yeah for puja....listen, i will not listen any of your excuses...you are coming in the evening......okay bye bye...."- Rajababu cut the call.

I forwarded the packet with my shaky hand at him. He took the packet quickly and gave the money to me.

"Keep the change and thank you so much"

While taking the money, his finger made a slight contact with my finger. That small touch send shiver down my spine. I keep looking at my hand and smiled.

I stared at the money for sometime. I will never use this money. Rajababu gave me this. This is so precious to me. This is the first gift of my love.

.........

The whole mansion is decorated with flowers and illuminated with lights. I was standing in a corner and cleaning the tables and chairs and also covering them with table clothes. The birthday party of Rajababu will start soon.

Already guests are coming. Rajababu's father Mr. Vansh and Rajababu's mother Mrs Vasundhara is welcoming everyone. I'm serving them sweets and juices. Also other girls are working with me.

But my eyes were only searching for my Rajababu. When will he come?

Finally i found him climbing down the stairs. He was surrounding with his friends. He was looking as handsome as always. Everyone started to wish him happy birthday.

I was also dying to wish him. But it will look weird. Servants are not allowed for all this. Though they are very much kind to us but still they maintained their royalty. So, i wished Rajababu from far.

He was talking to everyone with a small smile on his lips but he was looking little restless. His eyes were continuously set at the entrance. May be he was waiting for someone.

"Now it's time for cake cutting....."- Tuhin mam announced.

"Di...wait for jiju atleast"- Rajababu said.

Tuhin is married to the great chauhan family. They are another royal family of Kashi.

"There he goes..."- Tuhin mam said happily.

Rajababu's face also covered with a broad smile. I looked at the entrance and found Mr. Baivab Chauhan who is the son-in-law of Koshal family walking inside along with his sister Myra Chauhan.

They came inside and wished Rajababu happy birthday. He started to chat with them. He was looking so much happy.

"Now cut the cake Rajveer"- Tuhin mam said

Rajababu hold the knife and smiled at everyone.

"First make a wish"- Myra mam said.

Rajababu closed his eyes.

I also closed my eyes and uttered.

"Always stay happy and healthy Rajababu"- i whispered.

Everyone started to clap when he put out the candles with a blew of air.

I also clapped happily.

But suddenly Rajababu stumbled back by holding his head and within a second he collapsed in the floor infront of everyone.

My heart sanked out of fear. I almost ran but pulled back by a tug on my elbow.

"Where the hell are you going pihu?".

"Jiji, Rajababu fainted...."- i said in panick.

"There are so many people around...don't make a fool of yourself..."- Jiji stopped me.

I saw from far that Rajababu has been lifted up by his friends. Everyone is busy in calling the doctor. Baivab sir also is a doctor. They all walked upstairs in tension and nervousness.

I stood there in extreme tension. My heart was continuously skipping.

"Jiji, I'm scared...."- i cried in

panick.

"Relax Pihu...he will be fine..."- Jiji assured me.

But i don't know why my panick keep rising with each passing second. I wish i could go there by myself and check on him.

Please bhagvan keep Rajababu safe.
