Ramya was the first to arrive at the hotel the next morning. She was profoundly sorry for not having wished Shiva at night. She had been thinking of him all day and had completely forgotten about it when she had to remember. Shiva asked her not to feel bad about it and told her that he knew she remembered him. Rest of his friends, Vinod, Mani, Caaxton, Shivlal, Aloke and Shweta arrived later and they had a wonderful time. After the lunch came the cake and before they could make a mess of it on Shiva’s face he instructed them not to waste it and that they were expected to eat it.
After they had finished and while they stood at the hotel’s exit, Shiva waved bye to Mani, Caaxton, Shivlal, Arun and he indicated to the others to stay back. He then produced four tickets from his pocket. They were going for a movie! Ramya was surprised to know Shiva could be such a nice host. She had been thinking him to be an amateur at these things. But he had disproved her.
The movie was bad and they were jovially irritating Shiva for his inability to select a good movie. They proceeded to the beach from there. Being a Sunday, the beach as overflowing with people. They made their way through the crowd and walked along the water, the water lapping against their ankle. They didn’t talk while they walked. After walking nearly a mile they found a place that was free from the mad crowd. They sat in the sand and talked about what each one felt about being wished on his and her birthday. They then talked about each one’s house and what was happening in their family.
When they were done, Shiva told them he would buy some corn and he walked off. Vinod and Ramya were left behind with Shweta for their company. They were unsure of what they could talk with her. It was the first time they were with her in Shiva’s absence. They sat smiling at each other. And Shweta broke the silence. She asked, “What did Shiva tell you regarding my like for him? Does he like me as much as I do? I’ve promised him not to talk about this. And I’ve been holding myself from asking him what he feels about me. I am sure he must have told you something. Please.. Can you tell me? I won’t tell him whatever we talk now. I am really desperate to know” As she spoke every word, Ramya and Vinod listened open mouthed. And they looked at each other not knowing what how to react.
