US & THEM

Type's Birthday[1]

"Baby.....", called Tharn in a sweet voice. Type who was still sleeping stayed still not moving an inch. Tharn kept calling him for a long time but all his efforts didn't work. Tharn smiled and went near Type, he bit type's cheek. The younger opened his eyes widely and pushed the elder. Tharn laughed seeing the younger's shocked face.

"What is wrong with you???????", yelled Type wiping his wet cheek. Tharn still grinning went near him, "Happy birthday My Love", said Tharn and kissed Type's forehead and hugged him warmly. 

That kiss and hug made Type feel like all his burdens were lifted and he smiled. "Thank you My love", said Type with that he kissed Tharn. They were just looking into eachother's eyes without saying a word, they felt like they could understand eachother without words. 

Their staring contest was interrupted by a knock on the door. Tharn grunted whereas Type giggled. "Hello Romeo, can I wish my friend 'happy birthday'", said No hand gesturing happy birthday. 

"NO", said Tharn rolling his eyes. "HUH......", sighed No. "Alright alright", said Type while giggling. Tharn stood up from the bed and pecked on Type's forehead and left the room hissing at No which made Type laugh hard.

"Happy Birthday Buddy.....", wished No with a wide smile and hugged, "Thank you buddy....", said Type. No noticed some tears in Type's eyes. "hey hey....what is it", said No in a worried. 

"thankyou for staying by my side always", said Type. No understood what Type meant and hugged him again. "That's what friends are for Type, as a best friend it's my duty to stay beside you", said No with a bright smile. "Now let's start your birthday, P'Tharn has bought some breakfast", said No and left the room. 

All three sat on the dinning chair started having their breakfast. 

Sitting on the dinning chair Type's eyes scanned for a birthday gift but he couldn't find any. ' Tharn has planned something big for me, we'll go on a date' thought Type and smiled. No saw that smiled. "Sorry Type I couldn't get you any gifts for this Birthday ", said No with a little fallen face. "All that matters now is your health and your safety", said Type with a warm smile. 

Suddenly Tharn cleared his throat distracting their sweet moment. No and Type hung their heads and giggled. No looked at Type and mouthed, "someone is jealous". 

After an hour, "No I'll drop you at my house, you can wait there untill we return we can't leave you alone what say", said Tharn. No nodded yes. No was quite stable by then but not as healthy as to roam around. Tharn and Type dropped No at Khirigun's place and drove off to a mall. 'Tharn is taking me on a lunch date' thought Type, as the time was 11.15am. 

They were roaming around the mall, 'What is he going to present me... A very romantic lunch... Huh... Maybe a movie.. What did he plan..' thought Type.

Tharn stopped by a candy shop. 'Is he going to buy me a candy',  thought Type. 

Tharn stared at the candies in the display and started walking holding Type who was confused. 

After sometime, again Tharn stopped in front of Sketchers showroom, 'Are you going stare at the mannequin', thought Type. Tharn just smiled and pulled him inside the store.

Tharn took a pair of shoes in hands and showed it Type and asked, "how are they" . "Yeah they are classy", said Type. "Do you like them?", asked Tharn. Type's glowed ' Is he going to buy them for me, those are my favorites...', and nodded his head cheerfully. 

"I see like you said they are classy", said Tharn with that he put back the shoes to rack which made Type's face fall, 'What.. The... F..', he thought.

"Baby", called Tharn and Type looked at him holding his hand. "Let's go", said Tharn. "Huh.....", sighed Type with his eyebrows furrowed. 'wait is he taking me somewhere else's,  thought Type and decided to be patient.

On the way, Tharn stopped by a huge building and stepped out of the car. Type peeked out to see Tharn entering a bakery nearby. He could see Tharn taking to someone, after a few minutes Tharn exited Bakery, Type was excited and expected to see Tharn carrying a huge parcel or something but there was nothing he was carrying. Type was utterly disappointed and frowned.

Tharn entered the car and saw Type staring at him. " Is everything alright baby", asked Tharn. Type had enough, he slapped Tharn's chest and turned away.
"Oww baby boy what was that...", asked Tharn rubbing his chest.

"My Birthday treat", said Type with a sarcastic smile.

"awww thank you baby", said Tharn grinning and Type looked away.

"Why did you go in there... That bakery", asked Type. " My friend from college owns that, so I wanted to pay a visit that's it", said Tharn. "hmmm", hummed Type and they started driving.

After 20 minutes they reached, Khirigun's residence, at the door they were greeted by Pree. Type's face fell when saw him but hid that.

"Happy birthday Type", said Pree. " Thank you ", said Type blankly.

" Happy birthday son.... ", greeted Mr. And Mrs. Khirigun. "Thank you so much mom and dad", said Type hugging them.

It was time for lunch, Tharn, Pree and their dad were setting the table and Type, No and Tharn's mom sat on the couch. "So Type where did you both go", asked Mrs. Khirigun. "Yeah mom we went to the mall... ", said Type. 

"and...... ", asked Tharn's mom. "Nothing your son disappointed me", said Type with a pout. "I see... ", said Tharn's mom.

"Come let's have lunch", said Tharn's mom. Type walked to the table and he saw more plates were arranged. He was confused and saw turned back to see the Khirigun's and No standing together a few steps away from him smiling at him.

Mr. Khirigun signaled his wife to go ahead. She stepped forward and said, "Happy birthday Type, This birthday will be memorable one to you" and she signaled Type to turn around.

Type was confused but obeyed. On turning Type's widened, his chest tightened, tears followed from his eyes, there were numerous emotions flowing in him. He gasped and his knees weakened and he was crying.

Finally reviving from his shock he spoke, "MOM,.....DAD,...TEE.. ".
