Finally, the day was here when Naina was going to get a legal certificate of being an adult. The feeling was surreal, she was excited and nervous as well as she knew her responsibilities as a human would double and also her inner system will change, though a little. It has been an unchangeable rule in her family to not wish anyone at night. They'd directly come to bless her tomorrow morning and for the first time, She was happy with this idea. Through this, she could meet Sameer peacefully and celebrate her birthday with him before anyone else. This thought in itself was enough to make her feel agitated, she quickly got changed into a plain red top and linen pants, and hurriedly brushed her velvety hair tresses from the comb.
Naina was satisfied with her decent makeup and twisted the knob to walk out when She got the biggest shock of her life. There, her family stood holding a cassata cake with a beaming expression. She fearfully gulped down and all of them wished the special girl in rhythm - "Happy Birthday Beautiful."
"Ttthank You." Naina shivered while replying to them, and Sarita was first to ask her - "Kaisa laga humara surprise?"
"Shocking." She said in a low voice.
"Maine bola hi tha Aai Baba ko you'll get shocked," Prashant said happily.
"Aise shock na do mujhe mere birthday ke din," Naina exclaimed with an uneasy smile, and The trio wasn't able to understand whether to smile or feel weird.
"Tum itni saj dhaj ke kaha jaa rahi thi?" Sarita asked her daughter as she realized Naina was wearing daytime clothes with lipstick on her lips.
"Kahi bhi nahi," Naina said meekly.
"Toh fir yeh subah wale kapde abhi kyu? Aur yeh lipstick?" Prashant asked his sister in suspicion.
"I was taking selfies." Naina lied to them.
"Uff sara din tum bas yahi karo," Sarita said with a disbelief expression.
"Aaj ke din toh na daanto bechari ko," Nishikant told his wife in a sweet tone.
"Daant kaha rahi hoon? Sirf keh rahi hoon." Sarita softened her tone.
"See, we got you your favorite Cassata cake," Prashant said beamingly and entered the room to do the rest of the celebration.
"Thank You So Much." Naina looked at them with a sweet smile, though her heart was longing to meet Sameer. Her soul was brimmed with happiness for having these people as her family.
She held the knife and sliced the cake whilst Prashant was shooting the video, whistling for his sister like an excited brother. Naina fed the first piece to Sarita, then to Nishikant, and lastly, she went to feed her Brother who smeared the soft cream on her shining face with a smirk. She pouted but eventually smiled, sliding the cake inside his mouth.
"We've one more surprise for you, but woh kal milega tujhe." Prashant gleefully apprised his sister.
"Aisa kya hai?" Naina asked him curiously.
"Have patience, chudail, you'll love our surprise." Prashant excited his sister with a sinister smile accompanying his lips.
"Fine but don't call me Chudail," Naina warned him in a stern voice.
"Ok, no arguments on your special day." Prashant surrendered himself while raising his hands, and The family laughed at his drama.
"God bless you beta." Nishikant lovingly strokes his palm on his daughter's head, and Naina gives him a gentle smile.
