Happy Birthday Stranger III

Previously on Happy Birthday Stranger 



Kabir took her blindfold off. “Kabir, Why are we here? Where is Kanmani?” she questioned. “Come on over here Stella, she is here” Kabir called her. Stella neared Kabir, where he was standing in front of grave. She couldn’t believe her own eyes because that grave was engraved as Kanmani Omsword. For very first time, Stella stood speechless. She was standing like a dead for hours and she couldn’t control her running tears.

Kabir walked her home. Stella remind quite along their way. Her silence looked stronger than the silence of the nights. Stella had many questions in her mind but she couldn’t find any words. She was stuck in the moment when she saw Kanmani. Though she knew the truth, she couldn’t accept it. He worried about her because she was just like him, when Kanmani died. Kabir walked off after leaving her in her home.

Stella doesn’t spoke with Kabir since she met Kanmani. Kabir knew that she was upset with the truth. Kabir remembered the last words of Kanmani and made up a plan. He planned took Stella to a place which was very special to him. Stella doesn’t showed interest first but over his compulsion she agreed. Stella strongly believed that Kabir was hiding something huge from her. And she knew that it was about Kanmani. She made her mind for the trip only because to untie some knots of Kabir.

He took her to his family ranch. The ranch was named as HORNBILL ranch. The HORNBILL ranch was owned by his family over 7 generations. After Kabir’s parents passed away, Kabir took the ranch. Kabir was happy to back there with Stella. That ranch was place where his most memories with Kanmani.

After a long night, Kabir woke her up with delicious cup of coffee. He called her for the breakfast downstairs. Stella always loved his cooking. As time goes, he became her favorite cook.

          Kabir took Stella on a tour around the house. Stella started to think about any clues to untie Kabir’s knots. While Kabir speak about his family tree, a photo attracted Stella towards it.

          “Kabir” she called. “Mmm.” He answered. “Who is in that photo with you?” she asked. “Kanmani” he said. She took that photo in her hand.

          For the first time she saw Kanmani. She couldn’t believe her own eyes because Kanmani was apart from imagination. Stella couldn’t take her eyes from Kanmani. Kanmani looked exactly as he described.

          ‘Her eyes were as blue as the morning sky, which was just below the sharp crescents. She had a beautiful curve in nose. She also had cute dimples whenever she smiles. She always had a smiling face. Her lips were the sweetest thing in the world. Her hair was as dark as the night sky.’

          ‘Kabir always used to describe her as his Northern star.’

“Stella!” Kabir called. “I think this belongs to you know.”

“What is this Kabir?” Stella asked. “Open it” he said. She opened it. “Kanmani’s journal” he said. “It’s time for you to know each other”. She cried while holding them. “Kabir, will she be angry with me for reading her journal.” She asked. “No, she won’t” he replied.

In the fall of eve, Stella took Kanmani’s journal and went out to the campfire. Before started reading, she thanked her by looking up into the stars. She opened it.

Will Kanmani help Stella to untie those knots.
