Shilpi, I have emailed you the raw data of our next project. Please go through it and prepare a presentation by Sunday.

Oh! I forgot to tell you, sir, I'm on leave from tomorrow for two days.

Anything urgent?

Yes! Actually, it's special.

What?

I'm going to my hometown to celebrate my parents' 30th marriage anniversary. It has been a long time since I had been to my hometown, so I thought to surprise them on their anniversary.

Nice! So there will be a grand celebration.

Nothing big! Just a family get together, me, my younger brother, my parents and endless gossips.

Sounds interesting! Have fun and convey my warm wishes to your parents.

Sure!

See you, after the vacation. Bye.

Bye!

As I stepped out of my office, I called my brother.

Hi! Tidhaa

Hello! Motiiii

Oh, hello! Don't call me moti, I have lost ten kgs since last two months.

Whatever, for me, you will always be a moti. And for your kind information, I have gained 12 kgs since last two months, so don't call me 'tidha'.

Whatever you will always be my tidha, I chuckled and he laughed.

Listen, I haven't called to fight with you. When will you reach Lucknow?

My train will arrive half an hour before yours, so I will join you at the station, we will hang out somewhere outside, the whole evening and surprise them at 12 midnight.

Wow! Sounds fun! Looking forward to meet you soon. Byeeee.

As planned, I met Anubhav at the station and we wandered in the streets of Lucknow. We relished our favourite street foods and ice cream and talked endlessly. And at twelve we rang the doorbell. After ringing it continuously for two minutes, my father opened the gate. Needless to say, he was surprised by seeing. Before he could say anything, we gave him a side hug and moved forward to surprise mom. He also followed us after locking the gate.

Mom's reaction was no different and within a few seconds, she started shedding tears of joy. And why not, after all, she was meeting her two precious jewels after a long nine months. But for the first time, I saw my father's eye welled up with tears. That moment, I decided to surprise him more often. After the cake cutting, we talked endlessly till the early morning. Indeed! It was a night to remember forever.
