Note: Oppa is a Korean word which is used by females for the males who are older to them. It is used for the older brother or for the older male friend.

Arya opened her eyes and picked up her phone to answer the call which she thought was ringing in her dream.

"Hello. Yes it is confirmed. I am going to Seoul tomorrow. Tell my oppa to wait for me." Arya was talking on her phone. However, the guy on the other side was getting confused.

He was the delivery guy named Ravi who had come to deliver her birthday cake. "Hello. I am calling from the Stay Happy gift delivery. Here is the birthday cake for you." He said from the other side.

"Whattttt????? My oppa has sent me a birthday cake?" said Arya while getting up from her deep sleep.

"Madam, please collect your birthday cake." Ravi was scared rather than being confused. "Open the door quickly. I have other deliveries too".

Arya got a reality check and woke up from her dream. She felt a little embarrassed and said "Sorry Sir. I thought you are someone else. I am coming."

Thank God! Ravi thought to himself. He opened his bag to take out the parcel and meanwhile got a call. He answered it hurriedly. A woman was shouting at him from the other end.

"Oye Mr. Stay Happy. When are you going to deliver my order? You were supposed to deliver it at midnight, but it's not delivered yet. Why did I pay the extra charge for the midnight delivery? "

"Madam, sorry for the delay. Your order will be delivered in 10 - 15 minutes." Ravi said in a very polite tone. He was used to handling such angry customers.

"If you make your customers unhappy, how can you run a delivery service by saying stay happy? My surprise was ruined because of your delay. Now, who is responsible for that." Aarti was shouting from the other side as her brother Aryan had not received his birthday surprise which was scheduled for midnight delivery.

"Madam, don't worry. It will be delivered in maximum 10 minutes. Please stay happy." Ravi was explaining to Aarti and meanwhile Arya opened the door and came out.

"Sorry Oppa. I mean Sorry Sir. Where is my order?" Arya was still in her oppa mode.

Ravi saw Arya and started taking out the parcel from his big delivery box. On the other hand, he was busy convincing Aarti. "Madam, it will be delivered, don't worry at all. Yesterday, we were running short of delivery guys, so it was delayed."

While talking to Aarti on phone, Ravi handed over the box to Arya from his other hand and started his bike immediately.

"Here is your order madam. Happy Birthday. Stay Happy Always." Ravi said and handed over the cake to Arya.

"Oye Mr. It's not my birthday today. Don't try to fool me. My birthday is on 2nd. By the way, why do you want to know about my birthday?" Aarti was going on and on and on.

"Madam, I don't want to know your birthday. I was handing over other delivery so I said that to the customer." Ravi was indeed fed up of Aarti, but couldn't cut the call as it was his company's policy to not end the call till the customer ends on his/her will.

He didn't wait for Arya to say anything and left immediately for his other delivery to Aryan's house.

Arya took the box and put it inside the refrigerator. She called her friend Kavya to ask when she was coming to her house.

Meanwhile, Ravi reached Aryan's house. Aryan's mother took the parcel and went inside. Ravi felt relaxed as the constant bickering of Aarti stopped and he could go back to his other deliveries.

Aarti called her mother and asked her to open the cake immediately as she had customised the cake for her brother.

"I want to see Aru's expression. Ma, where is he? Ask him to open the cake right now."

"Oh God! Aarti, can't you wait for some time? At least let him have a bath. I'll tell him to call you once he opens the cake, Okay?"

Aryan came down hurriedly and said "Finally, the cake has arrived. Let me see how much my sister know me."

He opened the cake and was surprised to see a customised dark chocolate photo cake with the picture of the famous Korean boyband BTS and a tag named 'Happy 18th Arya'

Meanwhile, Arya was surprised to see a BTS customised cake with a different picture than the one she had selected along with a tag 'Happy 18th Aryan'.
