Ravi wanted to see what Pooja’s reaction would be to the gift he had planned for her. That week passed slowly but finally 11th July came and Pooja didn’t need to be woken up that day. She got ready really early and eagerly waited for what her family might have bought for her.

 Her parents bought her a new bag, her sister gifted her a new watch...she loved both the gifts a lot... she went to Verma hoping that at least on that day Ramesh sir won’t spoil her mood. In class, Teju gave her a chocolate which Pooja liked a lot and then she turned back only to be disappointed Ravi hadn’t turned up again. It was like the 3rd time he didn’t come to class in the morning. Classes went as usual.

 Pooja excitedly went to school and in class as soon as she entered her classmates shouted a big happy birthday which kind of startled her and then went on to sing the birthday song which was a little embarrassing for her but it was the custom of her class.
 Then a few of her friends gave her gifts...Rosy gave a hand painted portrait of Pooja which was the best thing she had gotten so far...


But Pooja noticed a voice missing from the chorus and a hand which didn’t wish her...it was Ravi again...he hadn’t come to school also...she was very disappointed. But still she didn’t show her disappointment to her friends and they all asked for a treat...She obliged... 


 After she went home she tried calling Ravi’s no. but he didn’t answer... she didn’t know if she should go to park or not cause she didn’t want to be disappointed further...Then she casually strolled into her balcony and to her surprise she saw Ravi waiting down...her joy knew no bounds...he then made gesture to come out and as soon as she was about to leave her mom saw and asked where she was going? For a second Pooja didn’t understand what to tell her but quickly made up a story of how she needed to get some chocolates for friends who were going to come to party...Mom said don’t be late...come quickly.


 Pooja ran fast and at the park in their usual place Ravi was sitting cooly staring at the trees whose leaves were swaying because of the slight breeze that was going on.


 Pooja though breathless managed to say,”Whats wrong with you? Why didn’t you come to classes? You don’t know how much I missed you...stupid”


 Agent Scar was kind of surprised he thought,”She didn’t see me for like a day...does she really mean it or she just said it? Anyway how can I tell her about my night patrol of the city” but hiding his true intentions he said, “Sorry Pooja, I had gone to get a gift for you...”


 Pooja in her fake anger said, “Go away I don’t want your stupid gift...I thought you would be the first to wish me but you are the last...”


 “Really Pooja? You didn’t even see the gift...you sure you don’t want it?” taunted Ravi.


 As if she was doing a favour for Ravi she said,”OK give it...i don’t want you to be disappointed...”


 Then Ravi slowly lifted a basket and gave it to Pooja. Pooja thought it was a basket of chocolates covered by a cloth but suddenly something moved in it and it surprised her...then suddenly a puppy’s head popped out and Pooja was really surprised and gave a little scream of joy and said ,”Oh Ravi thanks a lot... this is so cute...but I don’t know if my parents will allow it or not...and what if they say no..”

 “This is the best dog you can ever get...it will obey your every command and be very placid and in times of danger protect you with everything its got...”

 “All that is nice Ravi, but still...you don’t know my parents...my mom doesn’t like all this and ohh look at the time I need to go now bye...please come to the party....” said Pooja and ran away holding the basket...

 On her way home she was thinking how she would convince her parents about that puppy...first she discarded the basket and blanket and carried it in her hands...First thing her mom said ,”Why are you so late?”

 Pooja said “Mom, I need to tell you something...i saw this cute puppy on road and no one was caring about it...so I kinda brought it home...”

Her mom was absent mindedly listening to what Pooja was telling but the moment she mentioned that she had brought it home...her mom was shocked and said “You did what?”

 Then Pooja showed her mom the puppy and her mom said,”Pooja go leave it back where you found it...dont know what all things its got...”

 Pooja and her mom were arguing about this and suddenly her dad entered and Pooja ran to him and said,"Dad please can i keep this puppy please please please, I promise I will take good care of it..."

 Her Dad thought for a while and said,"Well keeping a dog is a very tough job and needs a lot of patience but as its your birthday today and because you have promised to take care of it...i think i will agree but if its tough to handle it promise me you will leave it in animal shelter..."

 Pooja's mom gave him an angry look and said,"Whatever you both take care of it and dont come back to me if it does something bad..." and went away.

 Pooja's dad looked at Pooja and said,"Its ok princess...you know how she is...it will take time for her...now you have a party to get ready to..."
