They got back home at 10pm after their dinner. Long day, super tired and Ashwin was ready to hit the sack as soon as they reached home.
Ashima was still up, due to jetlag. When it was around 11:50pm, Ashima did a small set up at dining area. Few candles arranged in love shape, a slice of cake that she got it delivered to home by the homestay owners and lit up few candles. When it was 12am, she played a Happy Birthday song through their Bluetooth speaker, it was so loud that it made Ashwin to wake up. He woke up thinking "ippo dhana thoongunen" and then realized the song that was playing. He got up and came out of the room, saw Ashima smiling so widely, welcoming him with an open arm. Ashwin went forward, Ashima came towards him, hugged him and said, "Happy Birthday abby, first of many birthdays that we are celebrating together". Ashwin kissed on her forehead and went on cutting the cake.
