A Short Story - Part Seventeen

Raghu was awestruck.. There wasn't anyone at the center named Akhi..moreover,  no one at the center knew it was his birthday.. or to the least that he was to visit the center.. Shocked and surprised Raghu opened the letter which Charanya had handed over to him along with the card..


As for Akshara was concerned, ever since she started to love Raghu secretly, she used to get updates on Raghu's upcoming plans from his friend, classmate and hostelmate, Surya.. It was Surya through whom she got to know of Raghu's visit to the center this day..


Childish and playful as it may be, she wanted to make this day of Raghu's life, one filled with pleasant surprises and hence making it a memorable one.. and hence was that letter along with the card..


Raghu took a while to take in the content of the letter.. he then folded it and put it into his pocket and began distributing the chocolates and cakes he had brought to the children in the hall..
