9 WISHES by hima (best time to read books txt) 📕

and i shouted,"Fine,don't do anything."
" Let's show him that he is nothing in front of us."i said to the band.
We did really great the next day and it's like eternity before other programmes complete and finally the time to announce the results.All of us were eagerly waiting.I know we did well but the star trek's band is well known and already known for it's good music.
It was a tie between us and trophy is to be shared by both of us.I felt really happy at least we showed him that we are something to be feared of.It was really a good end for the event.I invited the band to my house so that we could celebrate on our success.Everyone of us are bone tired and so only rahul,jyo and teddy accompained us.I invited sneha too though she is not in the band but i took a looking to her these days and she agreed to come with us.
Rahul and jyo followed us in their car.We were happily chatting and i fell asleep on raj's shoulder.When the car skidded to a sudden halt.I woke up to see the star trek band ahead with hockey sticks in their hands and the guy was smirking.Raj was trying to unlock the door when i understood what he was doing.I caught his sleeve.
"Don't.let's go by another way."i said.
He brushed my hands aside.Teddy was out too i shouted at them to come back but in vain.I tried to get out of the car but raj locked it with his keys.What i should do now?What???
Then i saw the mobile and dialled rahul and told him everything.He out bursted with a laugh.What was he a jerk?He noticed my apprehension and said that raj has black belt in karate and that i should feel sorry for the other people.
But i was really worried coz the ratio is 2:10 and teddy is no good at fights i have seen it.
"On our way,ash dnt worry,"jyo said taking the mobile from rahul.
The fight was really exciting rahul was right raj was like real hero warding of the blows and hitting them.Even teddy was having fun hitting and kicking them.One of the guys was coming from the back to hit raj.Teddy or raj none of them saw him coming.He was so close i was shouting but none of them heard.I closed my eyes in pain When i saw the guy aiming his hockey stick.
"Look,"sneha said shaking me.
Rahul has come.The fight ended and they all are down.We went home and i was no mood for the party.Raj said that it would be bad because it's the first sneha came to our house.

It's only a day before that i worked bone-tired now again i have to start working for the party.I need help.Our college was closed for the next two days due to bandh.I called teddy,jyo,rahul and sneha to come home.We all gathered at my doll house.
I told them about the party.They were really interested to help me.We design a checklist of what to do and when to do?
"We need to design a party theme first."sneha said.(I have observed that sneha is having a crush on teddy and you know teddy he doesn't even know it.)
"yeah,"jyo said.
"It will be a ball."raj said confidently.
"But we don't know anything about it."i said.
"Trust me on this,"he said smiling.
"Good,"teddy said.
"We need to get guests list,"jyo said.
"Mom said she will fax me today."i said.
"Invitation card,"rahul said.
"I'll design it,"raj said.
"I'll help you."teddy said smiling.
"menu,"sneha added.
"I'll look to it."jyo said.
"decoration."i said.
"I have a friend who is a party decorator.I'll call him."teddy said.
"Costumes."jyo said.
"We need to find a designer."i said.
"Leave that to me."sneha added,"but i need to see the designs of ball gowns."
"I'll mail you."raj said.
"okay,where do we start first?"i asked.
"I think with costumes coz that takes much time."sneha said.
"Ok then let's go for shopping."i said.
"money?"sneha said tentatively.
"I'm given full access to my credit card this week."i said.(Mom gave permission to use the cards since the party is the matter of our pride)
"Guys,come on let's go shopping."sneha said.
"I have some work to do.Rahul will come with you."teddy said hurrying towards the door.
"I need to call my mom."rahul said and hurried away.
"Um...I can come."raj added tentatively.
"It's ok.We will take suresh you design the invitation card."i said.(I know going shopping with gals is not a easy thing.It's like we take hours n hours of time.)
I downloaded some pictures of ball gowns and showed the to sneha.She prepared a list of all the things to buy.(Sneha was good at designing clothes.I should have known it her clothes were like in different models but i thought she brought them too like me.)It took us exactly 4 hours to finish our shopping.By the time we returned boys were busy with invitation cards design.
"How did the work go guys?" i asked .
They showed me the invitation.I should appreciate them it's really wonderful.It's like a book model.At the front page there is a picture of a boy n girl holding their hands together dressed in old fashion.Inside the card the theme is printed in bold letters and matter and then venue and all.We got the cards printed and sent them to all the members in the list.Days passed by and we are becoming more restless with the work.I invited in all my classmates and band members.It's the first time i've ever invited outsiders to my home.
Finally the day has come and mom and dad are back home.I insisted sneha to design a gown even for mom.That's really a good idea because we didn't have much time to go shopping.Mom was having different questions about the party but i told her to relax "all is well planned."She took me to my word and never interrupted interrupted me once with a question.Raj has chosen a list of songs to be played.
Me and jyo were busy ordering the decorators when sneha came with our dresses.
"Go on,get ready.It's high time."raj said.
"We'll take care from here."teddy said.
We got into my room when sneha took out the dresses from the safely wrapped covers we were speechless
Believe me they are like gowns of cinderella,sleeping beauty and other fairy princess.
"You are amazing,"i exclaimed.
"If you have given me more time.I could have designed it better."she said.
"No kidding,they are great."jyo said all surprised.
I sent one gown to mama and she called right at that instant.
"Oh!honey where did you buy it?"she added,"It's...."
"I know mom but i didn't buy it sneha designed it for you."i said.
"Really?put me to her darling."she said.
I handed her the receiver.I couldn't hear what mom said but i saw sneha blushing.(May be she was praising.I thought)
We helped each other to get into the dress and do our hairstyle.I looked like a princess out of the fairyland.
We went down the stairs everyone were in gowns but not like us.We went through to find our friends.There they are rahul,teddy,arun and few our classmates but where is raj????
I waved them all and went in search of him.He was no where to be seen.May be he is in his room.I was about to knock the door but the door was slightly open so i went in calling his name.He is right before the mirror in armani suit(black).On seeing me he closed the distance between us in one stride.
He took my hands into his and said,"Angel."
I said nothing but embraced him taking in my favourite fragrance.We stood there for one long moment when teddy came bursting into the room.
"I'm sorry."he said.
Raj said he had some work and went away.I turned to leave but teddy caught my hand.
"I have something to say,"he said.
"Not now."i said frustrated for stealing my precious moment.
"I love you.."he said.
"What?are you out of mind?"i shouted.
"Certainly not."he said.
"Then what's all this about?"i said irritated.
"Teddy,I love you too but only as a brother.My heart is set on someone else."i said seeing him unhappy.
"I know now but i thought i should say that i have this feeling for you."he sighed.
"I' sorry teddy.You are a good guy you will find someone who loves you more than her life."i said.
He sighed and left.Apart from this the party was a great success and above all it opened doors to a new world to all of us.Mom introduced sneha to Mrs.singhania the top most designer in india.She was really impressed by sneha's work and they had a long chat.
Where as for us.When pop introduced me to the sony chairman.I was suddenly struck by an idea.I got all my band members assembled and told them what my idea was.They all readily agreed to my plan.
11.50 we shut all the lights down and then slowly my voice echoed and then the roll of drums and then slowly music began to pour.There was dumb silence all over.Our song ended and there was a huge uproar that didn't die down until we all shouted
HAPPY NEW YEAR
When everyone were busy wishing others someone caught me by the hand.
"Come with me."chairman of sony company said.
I followed him and he was all praises for me and the troop and the best of all the new year gifts is that we are enrolled into the international competition for the best band ever.Wow!that's great.I half-expected it to happen when i laid out my plan to the band.
Mom called me when i was sharing the news with my friends.
"I'm sorry.I didn't tell you about this."i said remembering how i didn't mention about the band to her.
"It seems that you are hiding many things from mama now-a-days."she said eying raj.
"We are really proud of you my child."pop said.
"I'm glad,you chose him."mom whispered.

I'm glad teddy is an easy going guy.It was like that weird conversation has not happened at all.We are to compete startrek on first level this june.We

made rigorous practise in the months of jan and feb.March we concentrated on our studies because it's high time for our exams.
Our time table for exams is scheduled and (HELL!!!)I'm having the last exam on my b'day.Sneha and jyo stayed at my home for combined

preparation.We all did well in the exams.
I took the last exam and got back to home in college bus.Raj's car is not in the parking lot.May be he is having a party with his friends afterall they are

gonna leave this college.(Will he leave my home too?where will he go now?What was his future plans?)I was so immersed in his thoughts that i barely

noticed jyo and sneha getting down with me in my bus stop.
"I thought you went home."i said when i finally noticed them both.
"We left somethings here yesterday."they chorused.
"Oh!"i said dumbly.
When i entered home housekeeper opened the door.As soon as i made my first step into the house.Snow was shoveres all over me and about 15 voices

chorused
HAPPY BIRTHDAY song.
It's my birthday and they are here to celebrate it.Mom and pop are here too.Oh!nana is here too.They all greeted me.(Nana's mom has passed away so

she was to take care of the younger one's and her home.She resigned the job long ago but today it's my birthday so she came to greet me which is very

nice of her).The party was really a great surprise and above all the gift i got from raj is very much of a surprise.
He took me into my room closing my eyes.Sleeping on the carpet was a cute
