Holding each other's hands, they bent forward and their forehead met. Tears of joy rolled down their eyes and they were smiling brightly, looking in each other's deep orbs feeling the love they had for each other.
Suddenly the clock rang 12.
Mini: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEIL"
She hugged him tightly. Neil happily hugged her back with a huge smile on his face.
Neil cupped Mini's face.
Neil: "THANK YOU MINI.....thank you so very much".....meine saalon se apna birthday celebrate nahi kiya....jab se mummy papa gaye hai tabse kabhi me apne birthday pe kabhi itna khush nahi tha....tumne aaj mujhe itni khushiyan dedi hai na apne birthday pe ki me bata nahi sakta....
"THANKS FOR EVERYTHING"
Mini: Ab kitni baar thanks bologe....
She got up and came forward with a food trolley with the top of it covered.
Mini: Chalo cake kato.... Tumhara favourite wala hai... (She removed the cover)
Neil: HAZELNUT CAKE?
Mini: Tumhare har birthday pe tumhari Mom yahi cake banati thi na.... Iss baar meine banaya hai.... Hope so ki accha bana ho..... ab itni to cooking seekh hi le hai meine.....
Neil: Tumne khud banaya hai?
Mini nodded excitedly.
Neil felt the love she had for him.... the care she did.... he smiled adoring her lovingly.
Shaayaron se lafz leke,
Thode se udhaar,
Bolna ye chahta hoon,
Dil se tumko yaar,
Mini lightened up the candles.
Mini: Maine bola tha na wish mangne ka koi tarika childish nahi hota.... Mango apni wish...
Neil smiled at her and nodded.
Neil closed his eyes keeping his hand on his heart and smiled brightly. It was his way of wishing anything. He opened his eyes and bent to the candles. He blew the candles and cut two piece of cake.
Ho raha tha, ho gaya hay,
Halka sa khumaar
Koi naa raha hay,
Dil pe apne zor
He looked towards Mini..... She understood....
It was now like a ritual for them..... Whatever Mini made for the first time... they both made each other eat it.
Love me thoda aur, let me tell you tonight,
When the stars are shining bright
Love me thoda aur, just take my hand in your hand,
And then don't you let it go,
Both took a piece in their hands and made each other eat.
Love me thoda aur, all i need is the time,
When i promise that you'll be mine,
Love me thoda aur,with you by my side,
I know i'll be fine ..!
Neil: (savouring the cake) Wow! It's amazing yaar..... Kitna tasty hai..... lag hi nahi raha ki tumne banaya hai.... vo bhi mere instructions ke bina....
Mini looked at him lovingly.... he was looking like a cute kid who have got all what he wanted. She knew it was not just the taste of cake which gave him the happiness but the care he felt by just her effort.
Teri baaton ki pyaari si,
Meethi si khushboo main,
Leke saath mein,
Muskuraata sa, neendon se,
Khwabon se milta hoon main to raat mein,
He cut the cake in multiple pieces and both ate it. Neil was loving the taste of the cake and was enjoying every bit of it while constantly appreciating her effort ....and Mini was adoring him affectionately.
Yeh adaa hai nayi, yeh adaa aa gayi,
Tu jo mila, kabhi na kiya tha,
Khud pe itna gaur..!
Mini gave him a wrapped box....
Love me thoda aur, let me tell you tonight,
When the stars are shining bright
Love me thoda aur, just take my hand in your hand,
And then don't you let it go,
Love me thoda aur, all i need is the time,
When i promise that you'll be mine,
Love me thoda aur,with you by my side,
I know i'll be fine ..!
Neil: Iski kya zarurat thi.... tumne to already mera birthday best bana hi diya.... tum jo mil gayi ho mujhe aaj.... Mini Madam ke proposal se bada gift mere liye kya ho sakta hai....
Mini blushed.
Mini: (smiling) Kholo ab... Birthday pe gift to dungi na main.... (with attitude) Ab to Haq hai mera.
Neil smiled.
He opened it to see a beautiful gold pendent of oval shape with a small shiny ruby heart embedded on it with a circle of emerald studs around it. The pendant even had a vertical opening.
Neil opened the pendent.
It had two sides One was pic of him and Keya and other one had a family picture of Arya, Mini and him.
Tum ho ya na hoo,
Lagta hai jaise kee,
Ab tum hi to ho
Har ghadi ho,
Milta tumse hoon
Jitna main utni hee,
Milne kee wajah hai badhi,
He had tears in his eyes and a huge smile on his face.
He looked at Mini and hugged her.
Milne kee koshishein,
Pyaar kee khwahishein hoti rahe,
Tujhe dekh ke hay,
Saansein karti shor..!
Neil: Thank you Mini. This is the best thing I ever received as a gift in my whole life.
They parted. Mini rubbed off his tears and got up.
She walked behind him and made him wear the pendent in a long, thin and sober gold chain, so that the pendent lies on his chest near his heart.
Love me thoda aur, let me tell you tonight,
When the stars are shining bright
Love me thoda aur, just take my hand in your hand,
And then don't you let it go,
Mini: Like this pendent, All of us will remain close to your heart....ever after.
Neil nodded with a broad smile on his face.
Love me thoda aur, all i need is the time,
When i promise that you'll be mine,
Love me thoda aur,with you by my side,
I know i'll be fine ..!
Mini: Chalo..... it's time for your next surprise.
Neil: Next surprise?
Mini: Hmm.. Come.
Mini took him to upstairs to the the terrace and opened the terrace door. Neil was just behind Mini and was flabbergasted.
