BIRTHDAY BASH

It's been three months since Nikhil proposed. Everything is so beautiful, easy and comfortable with him. Even now when I think when did I actually fall in love with Nikhil, I still don't have an answer. Nowadays all I think of is about Nikhil. When I'm with him, we create many beautiful moments together and when we're away from each other I think of those beautiful moments. If anyone would see me, they would easily guess that I'm in love. Deeply, madly and irrevocably in love with Nikhil. That guy somehow managed to steal my heart. I told my dad the same day when Nikhil proposed me. Because I don't want to hide anything from him. Also I don't want him to feel bad if he gets to know from a third person.

It's my birthday tomorrow, I don't know what Veer is planning this time. Also, I don't know what Nikhil is gonna do. As, it's my first birthday with Nikhil, I'm very excited. I'm really looking forward for this day. I was trying to get in touch with both Veer and Nikhil, but none of them are answering my calls. So, having no other option, I decided to sleep. But, I really wanted to know who will wish me first, will it be Veer like always or Nikhil. But I wanted Veer to wish me first, because that's how it has always been and I don't want it to change now. For that matter, Veer never allowed even my father to wish me first, now I've to see what will he do if Nikhil tries to wish me first. In case, if Nikhil wishes me first, I don't know how will Veer react. And vice versa I don't know if Nikhil will feel bad, if he didn't wish me first. It's all so confusing. I better have to wait for 12 and I hope everything goes well.

I woke up when I heard a knock. I saw the time, it showed 11.59 pm. I wondered who it might be. I opened the door and it was Nikhil standing there with a bouquet of red roses. At when the clock striked 12, He wished me, "Happy Birthday baby, I wish you all the happiness, joy, health and success"

I didn't know, if I have to be happy that Nikhil wished me first or should be sad that it wasn't Veer. I replied, "Thank you so much." Then he closed my eyes and took me downstairs. Everything was dark as lights were off and then slowly I heard my parents wishing me together, "Happy Birthday Princess" and the lights were on. Everything was decorated beautifully with fairy lights. Then a cake was there in the centre. Nikhil guided me towards the cake. I was searching for Veer, but he's nowhere to be seen.

The cake which Nikhil bought is butterscotch flavoured one and I don't like butterscotch. I only like Chocolate flavors. He asked me, "How's the cake? Did you like it?" I didn't know what to say, should I say the truth or not. But still I somehow managed to say, "It's nice, but I don't like butterscotch flavour." Then immediately, my mom interfered, "Isn't it nice, Nikhil beta has done all these arrangements for you. What happens if you cut butterscotch flavor once?" I didn't know what to say, My mom still doesn't know that I'm relation with Nikhil, she tries her best to prove that Nikhil is best for me but she doesn't know that I've already choosen him for me. Sometimes, I feel to inform her, but then if I tell her, she'll arrange my marriage immediately. That's why I didn't tell her and also asked Papa to not tell her.

I said, "It's okay, let's cut the cake." I caught Nikhil's hand along with mine and cut the cake. I fed the first piece to my dad and then my dad and at last to Nikhil. After feeding him, I said, "Thankyou so much. Thankyou for putting so much efforts for me, I really loved it." He said, "No need to thank me sweet heart, you deserve all this. You deserve to be pampered like a princess and it's my right too" I smiled at him and hugged him tightly. He then gifted me a nice chain with a beautiful blue sapphire pendent. I really loved it. Then later after a while, Nikhil left to his house and I went to my room. I was very angry with Veer. He didn't even wish me till now, it's around 12.30 now. I grumpily entered my room and then out of nowhere someone came behind me and closed my eyes.

Then I realized, it must be Veer. He made me sit on the couch and then opened my eyes and wished, "Happy Birthday Misti" and pecked on my forehead. I said, "Thankyou" and turned away my face. I knew he held his ears but still I'm not looking at him. He said, "I'm sorry Misti, Please don't be angry on your special day. I've specially baked your favorite chocolate flavor cake with my own hands. Please look at me."

I looked at him angrily and said, "Care to explain why did you not wish me first?" He said, "I thought you'll be happy, if Nikhil wishes you first"

I replied, "And why would I feel so?" He said, "Because he's your boy friend"

I stood up and said, "And you're my best friend, that doesn't change even if I have a boy friend or not. Nothing has changed between us and will never change. I thought you'll wish me first like always and I like it that way only. But you being a stupid that you're vanished somewhere and didn't even care to wish me."

He caught my hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm extremely sorry. You know all I want is your happiness. I thought you'll be happy, if Nikhil wishes you first. Like you said, I'm a stupid, I didn't know that you'll feel bad if I didn't wish you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me this time. Atleast for the cake I've made specially for you. Please."

I smiled and said, "I'll forgive you but on a condition that next year you wouldn't pull this stupid stunt like this time" He replied, "I promise, I'll not repeat. Now, please cut the cake."

I smiled at him and sat down on the couch. He lit the candle, and asked me to make a wish before blowing the candle. I have only one wish, "Nikhil and the girl who'll come in Veer's life understand our friendship and we all life happily together" and then blew the candle. I cut the cake, and fed it to him and he fed me.

The cake was amazing and I really loved it. I didn't expect Veer to bake a cake for me. But, I really loved it. I hugged him tightly and said, "Thankyou so much, I really loved the cake. Now where's my gift?" He smiled at me and then fished out something from his pocket and handed me. He gave me keys, I looked at him not understanding what are the keys for? He said, "I know, how much you love bikes. So, I bought scooty for you."

I was so happy, I hugged him tightly and said ,"Thankyou, now let's go for a ride on my new bike"

We went out and papa was still in the living room, after seeing me he smiled at me and gestured to come towards him. I ran to him and hugged him tight and said, "Papa Veer bought me bike as my birthday gift."

He smiled and said, "I know, are you happy now? I know, you were sad earlier because Veer didn't wish you. I tried to explain him that you'll not like it, but he didn't give any heed to it. I hope atleast you have put some sense in him."

I replied, "Yes, papa. He's very stupid and doesn't think about me. But I made it clear for him. And now we're going out on a ride and will come soon. Bye"

My father said, "Ok take care and be back soon"

I nodded my head and said, "Sure papa" and went out.

I drived the car and Veer sat on the back seat. We went to near by ice cream parlour. We were having our regular choclate ice cream. While eating, I asked him, "Veer tell me one thing, I understand that you didn't wish me because you thought I'll be happy if Nikhil wishes me first, but you could have wished me after Nikhil. You didn't even come for cake cutting, why?"

He waited for a moment and said, "If I'll stay there, then it will be difficult for you to choose one and feed the first piece. So, I didn't come for cake cutting."

I hugged him and said, "I know, I guessed it right. I just wanted to confirm"
