Chapter 17 - His Birthday And Truth

Aayesha's POV

"Assalamualaikum!" I chirped happily as soon as he picked my call. I heard his laughter which brought a smile to my face before he replied me.

"Waalaikumsalam. Somebody sounds so happy. No?" He responded and I chuckled upon hearing him.

"Why? Can't somebody be happy?" I crossed question and heard him laughed slightly.

"Of course can. But waja kia hai?" He asked and I scrunched my nose.

"We don't need reasons to be happy. Just being happy is enough." I replied and heard him sighed.

"Yeah right." He responded and I smiled.

"So what are you doing? Had your dinner?" I asked and I could feel him smiled at the other end.

"Nothing. Just laying down. Yup I have. What about you?" He responded casually and I furrowed at his answer. Did he forgets?

"Hmm. I've eaten too." I replied shortly.

"Do you wanna say something?" He asked as if reading my mind and I jumped a little. I bite my lower lip before I parted my lips.

"Hmm.. yes.. uh no." I started blabbering something and I could feel he furrowed.

"Aayshu... Are you okay?" He asked in worry and I let a heavy sigh.

"I'm okay...I just.." I don't know how to complete my sentence. I wanted to ask him out...now.

"Just?" He repeated and I rolled my eyes. Is he really stupid or he's just acting?

"Do you know what day is tomorrow?" I asked him, biting my lip.

"Haan. Wednesday." He replied casually and I mentally slapped my face.

"Oh wow! Guess what? I didn't know that." I replied sarcastically and I heard he burst his laughter, made me roll my eyes.

"Yaar Aayshu. I know you wanna say something. Saaf saaf batao." He said and I sighed.

"Kuch nahi Armaan!" I replied as I sighed.

"Are you sure? But..." He was about to say something when I cut him off.

"Nothing! Just leave it." I replied in annoyance and he sighed.

"Hmm okay." He sighed.

"How are you now?" I asked remembering his fever few days ago.

"I'm fine now. No more fever. Don't worry." He replied and I nodded.

"Okay then I'll talk to you later." I said.

"Yeah okay. Allah Hafiz." He replied and rolled my tongue over my lips.

"Allah Hafiz." I said and we hung up.

I put my mobile on the coffee table at my living room when my eyes caught something. I took the box and bite my inner cheek before I took a card and jotted something on it. I then put the small card in the box and took the wrapping paper and started wrapping it nicely.

I did a final touch on the wrapped box and sucked in a deep breathe. I smiled looking at the gift as his face came flashing my mind. I put the box on the coffee table again.

"I thought of asking you out. But you didn't realize what day is tomorrow." I pouted as I got up when suddenly an idea strucked in me. I glanced at the wall clock and it showed 11PM. Ullu kahin ka!

"If you can surprise me on my birthday...then I can too." I spoke to myself and a smile crept onto my lips as I nodded, excitedly.

I ran to the kitchen, took out the cake I bought in the evening and put it on the coffee table along with his gift. I then walked into my room and got myself changed and stepped out again.
