Yashvi's POV:

“So... Do you guys have any idea, why I have called you here?” Dad asked looking at me and Satvik.

We were both seated on the chairs across the table, in front of dad, who was sitting on his office chair. I and Satvik looked at each other with confused expressions on our faces.

“No,” we replied at the same time.

“Of course you don't,” he said with a smile, confusing me and Satvik even more.

“Do you remember what's on 29th July?” he asked.

“Mom's birthday,” Satvik answered before me.

“Exactly!..... That's why I have called you both here!... I wanna surprise her.... and I need your help,” he smiled.

A smile curved up on my lips, upon hearing that. “Of course!... Just tell me what I need to do,”

“Not just you alone. I need both of you,” Dad said.

Satvik glanced at me once before looking at Dad. “Of course!... Is it even needed to ask?”

“Okay then.... First of all, give me some suggestions. Like what should I do to surprise her?” he said and we both started thinking.

"Why don't you gift her something precious!?... Like jewelry or something!" Satvik suggested.

"Oh come on, Satvik!... You know, your mom is not into such materialistic things," Dad said.

"Why don't you spend the whole day with her!?... I mean, because you have been very busy lately with work and office, and I can clearly see that she misses spending time with you... So just keep ignoring her till her birthday and then take her shopping, hang out together....watch a movie and then candle light dinner, you know.... I am sure she's gonna love it,” I suggested.

Dad gave me a 'not so good idea' look and I started thinking again. Ten minutes passed but we both were not able to come up with anything good. Dad kept staring at us this whole time, he had cupped his cheeks with his palm and his elbows were on the table for support.

"Ok, stop it!... You don't have to put so much pressure on your little brains!.... I have already thought of something!" he said snapping us both back to reality. My face went poker as finally his words sunk in my mind.

Seriously! When he already had something in mind then why did he wasted our time!

Unconciously, I and Satvik turned towards each other for some sort of reaction, then looked away feeling a bit awkward.

"Dad, seriously? When you already had something planned then why did you waste our time!?" Satvik questioned.

“I was just checking where can your little brains reach. But I'll have to say, you both are really bad at surprises!" he said and my mouth fell open in amusement.
