My Birthday

"Happy Birthday Handsome hero" she said the moment I picked up the call.

From her slurry voice, i could know that she was in bed.

"But you already wished me before we slept." I acted like I didn't notice that last word she said.

"So...?? Okay, tell me how I shall make your birthday happy...?"

"You should know it in your own," I replied, making face 

"Okay then, come outside...Now."

My heartbeat started to race. I looked down from the door and couldn't find her anywhere. I hurriedly came down to dining room and there she was. Near the table, she was in her night suit. I swept a glance at every corner to ensure that no one was watching us there.

"Why did you come here...?" I frowned at her a distance.

"To make your day happy."

I could feel the heat underneath my cheeks. I wished that moment could freeze and only I could move. Then I would have held him close and would run my fingers through her messy hair which made her look exquisite as she was.

"Why a single day...? Why can't you make me happy, every day.?" I looked away making a face.

"I think I can." She said and didn't move her eyes from me.

I looked back at her and before I could think of anything, she pulled out a ring from her pocket. My heart skipped a beat as a frisson of excitement ran through me. For a moment I felt as if I was frozen. But then I gripped her in glee, and I didn't care who was watching us as in front of me, I had my ticket to lifetime happiness. Then our Naughty brother came out then maa and gave a great surprise. This was the best birthday in my life. At last, I knew that all of the above drama was pre-planned drama between maa, bapun and sikha....

Thanks a lot. Love you all...
