The Rise Of A Lover- Episode 1- Birthday Boy

Hello everyone! This is episode 1 of my FF The Rise Of A Lover. I want to thank my friends Kanika and Ishika for being my inspiration. For anyone wondering Mukku (Malvika) was around 10 years old at this time. I’ve also added a character which wasn’t mentioned in the character sketch: Orphanage owner- Kiaan 

Kapadia Mansion

Armaan- Quick, Anuj is going to come back from college soon

Armaan, Anjali and Malvika set up Anuj’s birthday decorations

Anjali- Mukku, Samir phone karo find out when they are coming

Malvika- Ok Mama I will find out

*On the phone*

Samir- Hi Bachi how are you

Malvika- I’m fine but don’t call me Bachi sirf Bhai can call me Bachi

Samir- Fine but why did you call

Malvika- When are you bringing Bhai home

Samir- Wow you’re feeling extra loving today

Malvika- Bevakoof you know why! Bolo na when are you bringing him

Samir- Don’t worry we’re on our way

*Call ends*

Anjali- Mera Bacha aaj 18 saal ka hai (tears in her eyes)

Malvika- Mama you never cried when it was my birthday

Anjali- Chup pagal ladkhi I love you just as much as I love your Bhai it’s just that my baby isn’t a baby anymore

Armaan- Haan that’s true kitna bara hogaya nah

~~~ Flashback (9 years ago) ~~~

Young Anuj- Sir all of my friends are getting new families main ab tak yahan kyon hoon Kiaan-Anuj beta don’t worry i’m sure someone will come for you

Armaan with pregnant wife Anjali enters the orphanage

Armaan- Hello beta, you must be Anuj Anuj- Namaste, yes that is me

Anjali- Wow what a well-mannered child

Anuj- Thank you Auntie

Anjali- Auntie nahin mujhe Mama bulao

Armaan- When is your birthday beta

Anuj- Neither me nor any my brothers and sisters know our birthdays

Armaan- Consider today as your birthday. Chalo lets go home get ready to meet your new sister!

They all hug

~~~Flashback ends~~~

Samir’s Car parked outside the Kapadia Mansion

Anuj- Arre Sam yaar why are you blindfolding me

Samir- Why should I tell you get ready to find out

Kapadia Mansion

Lights are off. Armaan, Mukku and Anjali are hiding. Anuj walks in confused.

Samir- Don’t open your eyes till I say

Anuj- But..

Samir joins the family

Samir- Ok now open

(All the family including GK and Samir)- Happy Birthday Anuj!

PRECAP: Anuj blows out the candles and opens the gift from his father, which states he is the new owner of the Kapadia Empire. Anuj stands teary eyed and decides wants to go out for the first time on his birthday as a treat. The family stand shocked.
