Aditi's birthday
"Happy birthday Miss Aditi."
The first wish was unexpectedly from Rohan. She looked up at the message and smiled. She replied thank you with a heart emoji. He again texted her,
"Joldii aaha office, there's surprise for you!"
She gave a thumbs up emoji back and got ready for office. She wore the dress she bought in Mumbai. She was very excited to meet everyone, especially Arohan and Sneha. Her roommate didn't know that it was birthday. So she didn't say anything to Aditi. Aditi made breakfast and told her,
"Aaji raati toi aru moi bahirot khaabo jaam de.".
She looked at her, confused
"Kio? Kiba special? "
She shook her head and served the breakfast. She said,
"Enei jaam. Ulabii."
They ate their breakfast and both of them went to their work. As Aditi reached her office. She found Arohan at the entrance and smiled at him. He came forward to her and gave her a side hug. He kissed at her hairline and said,
"Happy birthday babygirl."
She blushed. She nodded and walked forward. He said,
"One thing Aditi."
Aditi turned and looked at him. He was standing still staring at her. He said
"Moii olop derike jaam diya. Kunubai kiba bhabibo paare."
She gave a slight smile. It was weird for her to hear something like that from him who didn't even care what other people thought. She nodded and took the stairs to go up.
As soon as she entered the office, Sneha brought a big bouquet for her. She hugged her and kissed her cheek.
"Happy birthday Adi! And welcome back!"
Aditi smiled with a drop of tear in her eyes. She said,
"Thank you so much!"
"Etiya jua. Cubicle t thoi aaha eitu."
She nodded and went to her cubicle. As soon as she reached the cubicle, there was big box. She went near it and opened the box. There was a beautiful set of mekhela sador. Beside the box, there was a letter. She took it and started reading,
"Dear,
Bohut morom aru bohut bhalpua tumar babe. Xodaai haahi thakiba. Kandile mor kandhot mur thoi nijok xaanto koraba. Gift tu najanu kenekuaa pala. Eijur moi nijeiii select kori anisu. Anything for my babygirl. Happy birthday!
Yours :)"
She put the letter in her drawer and looked at the mekhela sador. It was purple with white embroidery. She took the gift and embraced it. It was too precious for her.
As she was weeping with that gift, Rohan kept standing at her cubicle, leaned over the wall with crossed arms. As she realized his presence, she wiped her eyes and turned back. He came near her,
"Seems like bohut precious gift paai gola bohut precious person r pora."
Aditi shook her head and said,
"Iyaare sob precious hoi mor karone."
He waited for a moment and said,
"Even moio?"
She smiled
"Even tumio."
Rohan put his hands over face acting likw shy with her response. He removed his hands from his face and took the gift from the chair. He forwarded it to her and said,
"Iman precious noholeo, accept my gift."
She took it from him and said,
"Thank you."
He said,
"Open it. Mor aagot. Gift keitaa bujabo logaa aase."
She giggled and opened the gift. There were sever other gifts inside the box. There was a teddy, rather deformed. She was confused and looked at him. He said,
"Remember? Tumak ghorot thobo jaote koisilu! Khong uthile nijok maratke teddy eta kini mariba. Satisfying plus khong khinio naikia hobo."
She kept looking at him. He said,
"Continue."
She looked back and continued unwrapping. There was that jhumka that she didn't buy in Mumbai. He looked at her
"I know, tumar bohut bhal lagisil. I couldn't resist myself."
She again started unwrapping the last gift. It was a scarf, very beautifully embroidered. It was exquisite and it seemed very costly. He said,
"Eikhon maar. Mor maar. Xoru thakote dadar favorite asil. Toh bhabilu. Tumatke better kuneo deserve nokore eikhon. Xodaai logot rakhiba. Maar moromor eikhon. Bohut morom aaru blessing paba."
She was overwhelmed with emotions. She looked at him.
"Thank you Rohan. Best gift ever."
He went near her and gave her a side hug. He said,
"Oh shoot. Bola bola bahirot. Mok marile ihoti."
As soon as they reached the hall, she saw Arohan with balloons and cake. Everyone sang happy birthday as she went to the centre. Arohan put the cake on the table and handed her the knife. She cut the cake and gave it to everyone.She went to Arohan and gave him a piece of cake. He took a small bite and gave a bite to Aditi. He took two tissues from the table and gave one to her to clean her hands. Everyone came near her to wish her and give her presents. Arohan took two steps behind and took there until she was free. After a while, he grabbed her hands and took her to his room. She felt a little nervous.
Arohan took her hands and kissed on her palm. Aditi closed her eyes. He went close her and whispered in her ears.
"Aji Rati you and me to a nice dinner."
"But sir." She whispered
"No but. Today, you are mine."
She didn't say anything. arohan put his lips on her cheeks and kissed there.
In the mean time, Rohan entered the room. He saw them and covered his eyes. Aditi pulled herself from Arohan's arms. Rohan said,
"Sorry, my bad."
Arohan got irritated and started mumbling. Rohan put the file that was on his hand on the table and said,
"Amar tour our update dipole he ahisilu. Didn't know that the time was not good."
Aditi went out of the room. Rohan also left the room after a while. He went straight to Aditi's cubicle. She saw him and said,
"Boha Arohan."
"Moi Rohan."
she put her hands on her head and said,
"Sorry Rohan."
He said, without sitting,
"I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"Nai nai, it's okay. Amar he bhul hoisil."
Rohan smiled and went to his room.
