"Didi. Thank you so much. BTS are in the house for my birthday. What more could I ask for?" Aryan said happily.
"What the hell is this? I swear I am going to sue this delivery service. First of all they didn't send it on time plus they printed the wrong photo on the cake. I am going to kill them." Aarti was being furious on the phone.
"What happened?" Aryan's grandmother came and saw the cake.
"Daadi. See the birthday cake. These are my favourite people. But didi is saying that they have printed the wrong photo."
"Oh wait! It is written as Happy 18th Arya." Aryan's mother said. "It's quite possible that this cake belong to some girl called Arya and was delivered to us by mistake?"
"Ma. This happens only in movies and novels, not in reality. I am going to kill this delivery guy" Aarti was blabbering on the phone.
"Didi. Take a deep breath before calling that delivery executive. He will get a heart attack if you speak to him in this tone."
Aarti kept Aryan's call on hold and contacted the delivery personnel. Ravi was on his way to do the other delivery and when he saw Aarti's call, he got scared to death. "Oh God! Why is this woman calling again? Let me not pick up her call."
"Damn Mr. Stay Happy. He expects me to be happy in this situation? Pick up your damn phone or else I'll come to India and will murder you for sure."
"Didi. You must be having the customer care number of this delivery app company, right? Talk to them and confirm what is the issue."
"You expect me to talk to them properly? You are a born saint Mr. Aryan Mehta. Not me." Aarti was enraged to the core.
"Okay Didi. Forget it. I'll fix this issue. You relax. Just send me the order details. I'll get back to you in some time." Aryan said and started searching the customer care number of Stay Happy Delivery Service.
Meanwhile Arya was furious at her place and her care taker Ragini Aunty was trying to calm her down.
"Arya baby. Why are you so angry? It's your birthday today. I have made your favourite omelette for the breakfast. Leave the cake and let's go to the dining table."
"Aunty. I want my selected oppa. I ordered a special customised cake and they messed up my order." Arya was crying loudly. At the same time a door bell rang and Ragini Aunty went to open the door.
"Thank God Kavya you came at the right time. Please tell your sister to calm down."
"What happened to her? Did something happen to her BTS?"
"There is some problem with the birthday cake."
"What happened?" Kavya went near Arya while talking to Ragini Aunty. Arya hugged her and started crying profusely.
"Kavya. Where are my oppas? Why did they do this to me on my 18th birthday?"
"Damn it Arya. There is nothing wrong with your BTS. Isn't their photo on the cake?"
"I sent them a different photo. Not this one. It said 'You Never Walk Alone'. But in this picture, my oppas are not looking that handsome as they were supposed to."
Kavya knew that Arya was a diehard fan of BTS, so she didn't say a word. She looked at the cake and saw the name tag with Aryan's name on it.
"Calm down Arya. I guess this cake was meant to be delivered to someone called Aryan. See it's clearly written Happy 18th Aryan. May be that delivery executive got confused in your names and handed you the wrong parcel."
Arya was not in a mood to listen to any explanation. She still continued crying.
"Arya, give me your phone. Let me call the delivery executive." Kavya took the phone from Arya who was looking at her phone lock screen's BTS wallpaper.
When will this girl grow up? Kavya thought to herself and started searching for the number.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Ragini Aunty went to open the door.
Another delivery guy from Stay Happy was standing at the door with another cake.
"Madam. There was some mistake with regards to your order. The delivery guy got confused between the names. So he delivered Aryan's cake to Arya and Arya's cake to Aryan. Extremely sorry, madam."
Ragini Aunty was so happy to hear that. She shouted loudly. "Arya baby come quickly. See your oppa is here."
The moment Arya and Kavya heard this; they went to the main door. Aunty told them about the confusion.
The delivery boy added "Madam, Mr. Aryan came to our store and handed over this cake to us. He asked us to check the orders and we came to know about the confusion."
"We are really sorry for the inconvenience. Please take your order and give me the cake for Mr. Aryan. Also, Mr. Aryan has sent you a note along with the cake."
"Hello Sir. You should be the one saying sorry. Why is this customer saying sorry on your behalf? You should feel lucky to have such understanding customer." Kavya said in a rather unpleasant tone.
"Chill Kavya. My oppas are here. I don't want to stretch it further. Aunty, get that cake." Arya was extremely happy after receiving her customised cake.
She saw the note sent by Aryan and unfolded it to read.

Dear Ms. Arya
Happy 18th birthday. I am taking this opportunity to wish you abundant happiness on your birthday thanks to this delivery confusion. Hope that you have a memorable birthday with your beloved BTS just like me.
Aryan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Arya gave a big smile on reading Aryan's note and decided to send a note to Aryan too.
"Kavya. Just tell him to wait for few minutes. I have something to give him." Arya rushed to her room to find a writing pad and paper. She wrote a note for Aryan and handed it to the delivery personnel. He then took the cake and delivered it to Aryan.
"Finally, the cake is here!" Aryan's grandmother said. "Aarti, don't do such stupid things again. How much Aryan had to suffer because of you and that to on his birthday."
"Oui madame.(Yes Madam)" Aarti said in French. Paris was clearly growing on her. Everyone had the cake, but something else made Aryan smile and that was Arya's note.

Hi Aryan.
Happy birthday to you too. Thank you very much for taking the pain to return my customised cake. I am sure you will understand how happy I must have felt since I see that you too are a BTS Army. Cheers to our 18th birthday.
Arya
