Dil tadap k kehta hai

39

[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G]

Months were passing by blissfully and life has been good at the Oberoi household.

As the clock struck 12, midnight, Rudra, Om and Gauri entered the room whose door had been left unlocked on purpose.

2 minutes ago, Annika had "accidentally" spilled water on Shivaay's kurta. When he came outside after changing into another kurta, the four of them stood there with wide smiles and they said together, 'Happy birthday Shivaay/bhaiyya/jeeju'.

They got in a group hug after Rudra literally jumped on Shivaay. Annika was on his left and Rudra on his right with Om and Gauri in the middle of this circle.

S: thank you so much, but can we let go now?

They broke the hug and Gauri wheeled in a small cake she had made. Shivaay cut the cake and fed everyone, saving Annika for the last.

A: Shivaay, this is for you

She forwarded an envelope to him. Shivaay opened the envelope and found 3 VVIP passes for the next cricket match that was supposed to happen in Mumbai in a few days

A: I know nothing pleases you more than spending time with your brothers. So have fun

S(in his mind): spending time with you gives a tough competition to that now.

Ru: wow bhabhi, this is amazing. Bhaiyya k saath humare liye bhi gift.

Rudra side-hugged his favorite bhabhi. Soon they returned to their own rooms and Annika and Shivaay settled on the bed

S: thanks for the gift, it's really nice

A: This is actually a gift for the ladies of the house. We've seen how you guys get while watching a match

S: acha ji to ye hume bhagane ka plan hai {{oh really, so this is a plan to kick us out of the house}}

A: ji {{yupp}}

Shivaay soon fell asleep with a smile on his face, Annika lay on her side, looking at his sleeping figure.

A(in her mind): I wanted to give you something else Shivaay but I don't know if you would consider that a gift. I want to tell you that I have developed feelings for you Shivaay and I want to explore our relationship with you if you feel the same way. I had planned a dinner date to tell you how I feel but I figured your birthday is not the right occasion. I don't want to ruin your special day with awkwardness if you don't feel the same way. But I'll tell you very soon, just a few more days. I don't know what will happen after that, it's a huge risk, we might lose what we have right now but I don't want to live with this regret that I didn't tell you how I felt. Few more days

The next morning everyone else wished and blessed Shivaay, Sahil had made a card for him which he loved.

In the evening the Oberoi mansion was nicely decorated and a lot of people were busy mingling and eating and drinking. All the arrangements were perfect, how could they not be when your wife is an event organizer?

Annika was dressed in a black saree with golden work which complimented Shivaay's black suit. The party was going well, Shivaay had cut a huge layer cake and champagne was being served. He was busy talking with his friends when a woman came close to him and hugged him. She was dressed in a beautiful black dress that screamed class and elegance.

'Happy birthday Shivaay baby'

S: thanks Tia. Someone's looking lovely tonight

Tia: and someone's too sweet tonight.
