91. Arya's birthday party

In the morning.....

Dadu Biji Naeem Bi came to wish Arya and saw the cutest site ever.

Arya was sleeping in Mini's lap and Mini's head was on Neil shoulder and his head was on mini's head. They understood that they had slept watching the movie together.

They decided not to disturb them and went.

After some time, Neil woke up and saw both of them sleeping. He got up and kept his hand on Mini's shoulder, shook her lightly to wake her up for the further arrangements. Mini also woke up. Both saw Arya sleeping peacefully. They got up making sure that she don't get disturbed. They got ready and Neil went to the restaurant to make the arrangements for the party. After getting Arya ready for the party in a pink princess attire with a super cool crown like tiara, Mini told Arya to sit in the car and then blindfolded her.

Both the sisters arrived at the restaurant and Arya opened her blindfold to get another surprise....whole restaurant was decorated and was themed as disneyland and all her friends was invited and they were also dressed according to the theme. Dadu Biji Naeem Bi and the whole restaurant staff wished her and they celebrated together.

They enjoyed a lot.....danced..ate.....played.....had fun......Arya was extremely happy.....Seeing Arya so much happy....Mini was also feeling contented.

After a couple of hours of enjoying, the kids returned. It was recess, Arya was talking with Neil in the kitchen while Mini was adoring both of them together, sitting on the table in the kitchen. 

Neil made Arya's favourite palak soup and she savoured it with them. 

Arya: Ab?

Mini: Ab hum Arya ke favourite picnic spot pe jayenge...

Arya: Sunset point?

Mini: Hmm... Correct!... (to Neil) Maine staff ko bol diya hai... recess ke baad ke orders vo dekh lenge.. Tum bhi chalo.

Neil: Hmm... Aata hu... 

Mini and Arya sat in the car and Neil joined them too. Mini drove to the sunset point and Arya ran up to the sitting area.

Arya sat looking at the sky and as the wind blew, she closed her eyes smiling brightly.

Mineil were talking while walking up and Neil noticed that Arya was silent and staring at the sunset happening, he looked at Mini when she stopped at a distance from her. Mini was looking at Arya, smiling herself with teary eyes. 

Neil: Arya idhar aakar itna shaant kyu ho gayi?

Mini: Hanuman Uncle aur Arya ka favourite picnic spot tha yeh.... dono bahot baar saath me aaye hai yaha... Vo feel karne ki koshish kar rahi hai unki presence ko... 

Neil looked at Arya and had tears in his eyes. He too had faced this phase in his last teenage years.

Mini looked at him as he stopped speaking after listening to her words and saw his tears.

Mini: Tumne bhi pehle aisa feel kiya hoga na.... kuch specific jagaho pe?

Neil nodded with a nostalgic smile, still looking at Arya.

Neil: Tumhe pata hai... Mujhe bahot time laga tha yeh accept karne me ki.... now I don't have dad and maa in my life.... aur main bhi aisehi humaari family favourite spots pe jaakar gum sum sa baith jaata tha.... Arya to khush hai.... has rahi hai.... main to itna toot gaya tha ki muskura bhi nahi paata tha... kitne mahino tak react bhi nahi karta tha theek se.... 

Mini wrapped her arm around his and intervened her fingers with his. She rubbed Neil's arm by her other hand and comforted him. Both were looking at Arya.
