Grandma had locked Kabir in the guest room to teach him a lesson for mistreating his wife. Kabir bangs the door angrily several times but when he didn't heard any response, he begins to walk to and fro furiously. He smashes and throws the things here and there. He screams on the top of his lungs, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
After a while, he calms down and sits on the bed, "No.. No.. No.. What did I do? I tried to kill my butterfly!!Nooo.. I tried to hide my monstrous form for her but atlast I showed it infront of her. This time, I messed the whole thing. I shouldn't have reacted like that. Now what will I do? I need to do something!!"
Kabir took the pen and paper to write a small note to grandma, "Hey Girlfriend, I'm sorry!!I don't know how, but I couldn't control my emotions when I saw those birthday decorations. You know how much I hate birthday celebrations. I know that I had misbehaved with Arohi. I'll make up with her. I'll do whatever it takes to earn her forgiveness. Please forgive me for one last time, Girlfriend!!"
He slips the note under the door and waits for grandma to notice it.When he understood grandma didn't notice his letter, he begins to bang on the door.Subsequently, grandma took the note and reads it. She opens the door and looks at him, "Don't repeat this same mistake again. I won't tolerate that!!"
Kabir nods at her quickly and rushes straight to the home library. He presses a button on a tile and it opens a small shelf. He took the book titled "Crime and Punishment " by Fyodor Dostoevsky from the stack of books inside that small shelf. He walks towards his room and opens the door. He didn't find Arohi anywhere. He searches her everywhere with his eyes. That's when he saw her sitting with her knees drawn to her chest in a corner. He walks gently and slowly towards her. Arohi hears his footsteps and slowly raised her head. When she saw Kabir, she quickly hid again and started crying,"Please, don't come near me... Please!!"
Kabir's eyes soften a little when he heard her terrified voice. He walks gently towards her and kneels down. He caress her head, "Arohi... Look at me!!I."
Arohi raised her head slowly and her red swollen eyes met with his deep blue eyes. Her lips starts trembling, "Please... Leave me!!I won't do this again.. I.. Please!!"
Kabir took her hands in his, "Mon cheéri, I'm sorry... Extremely sorry for the things I did.. I know I had hurt you.. I don't know what came to me at that time... I turned into a monster when I saw all that birthday decorations.. I tried to kill you with my own hands... I'm sorry!!
He slaps himself again and again,"I don't deserve to live... I tried to kill the love of my life!!I hurted you, Arohi!!"
Arohi holds his hands stopping him from slapping himself, "No.. Don't do this!!It was my fault!!I didn't know that your parents died on your birthday... I thought to celebrate your birthday because I wanted to make it special as it is your first birthday after my arrival!!I should have asked grandma or Vikram about this... I never asked them!!I'm sorry... Because of what I did, your past emotions got triggered... I'm sorry!!"
Kabir hugs her tightly, "Don't be!!I am the one who should apologize for doing those horrible things to you!!What shall I do to make up for my mistakes? I'll do whatever you want to!!"
He gives her the book that he took from the shelf, "Here!!This is a small apology gift from me!!"
Arohi looks at him surprised, "Crime and Punishment!!Ohh!!I always wanted to read this book... I had only completed the half.. Now, I got the chance to complete it full.. Thank you!!"
She keeps the book on the nightstand and stands from the floor. Kabir stands and looks at her, "So, Am I forgiven?!"
Arohi shakes her head in disagreement, "No, you aren't!!You need to do something more!!"
Kabir looks at her shocked, "What?!Should I do 100 situps or what?!"
Arohi smiles at him, "No.. I know that's way too simple for you!!I want something that you can't do.. I wanted you to celebrate your birthday!!"
Kabir looks at her shocked, "No way!!"
Arohi walks closer to him and touches his forehead with her, "Kabir, you hadn't celebrated your birthday since many years. How long will you mourn for your parents' death? They wanted you to be happy not sad. Everyone wanted their birthday to be special. Kabir, Your parents love you more than anything. They always wanted you to be happy and elite. You are so special for them. If there is a single drop of tear in your eyes, what do you think, don't their heart break when they see you like this? Every year on your birthday, they visit you to wish happy birthday but you looks sad and lonely. They are here with you, Kabir, waiting for the moment when you're happy and lives the life to the fullest. I feel your parents are here. Kabir, do you want your parents to go back unhappy seeing their child angry and devastated?"
Kabir shakes his head, "No.. I don't want them to be sad!!"
Arohi nods, "Then, celebrate your birthday with me!I promise you, this will be your best birthday ever!!"
Kabir thinks for a while and answers, "I'll do as you say but only on one condition. I need a fantastic birthday gift!!"
Arohi looks away sadly, "But.. I had bought you a gift.. You destroyed it downstairs in anger. Now, how will I find a gift during this nighttime?!"
Kabir smirks devilishly, "Why do you want to go outside when you, yourself is a gift for me?!I want a gift!!Will you say no to birthday boy?!"
Kabir pretends to shed some crocodile tears. Arohi rolls her eyes, "Ok, Mr. Drama King!!I'll think of a gift for you. Come on, we have only two hours to celebrate your fantastic birthday!!Come!!"
She drags him outside the room and Kabir asks her, "Where are you dragging me to?!"
She smiles at him, "Wait and watch!!"
