Sahur came to the dining table to see Naima fuppi feeding Misha . He smiled going to his cutie pie. He picked Misha ,sat on her chair and placed her on his lap. He kissed her forehead.
"Mishi why didn't you come to the room.? Fuppi must have told you, right?"
" Yes but I wanted to eat here itself. Didn't mamma say this is the place to eat not the room. She never let me eat in my room" Misha replied.
Sahur chuckled seeing her childish behaviour.
"Okay okay. My Mishi is so obedient."
Misha nodded.
"Sahur baba did you eat?" Naima fuppi asked him.

"Yes Fuppi. I ate with everyone. I came to check on my Mishi. Accha tell me how was your day at school? "
Sahur replied further talking to Misha.
"It was okay. " Misha replied thinking everyone again forgot her and had lunch with Noor.
Sahur frowned because daily Misha doesn't stop unless she tells him every single thing that happened in her school.
"Just okay? What did you have for snacks today? What did mamma give you?" Sahur asked again.
" Mamma didn't give me anything today. Ruhani shared her snacks with me. " Misha informed.
" What? Why?" Sahur asked confused.
Misha being a child forgot everything and started talking about the food her good friend shared with her.
"It was really tasty . I had pineapple tart after so long. I ate almost half of it. Then I felt bad for finishing half of her tiffin so I gave her my chocolate. She got so happy to get the chocolate because her parents don't let her have it. I mean how could she live without a chocolate. I need one every day. But today I gave mine to her , then what will I have? " Misha gasped asking this question. She turned towards her brother
"Bhayyu , you will get me one please?" She requested cutely.
"Ofcourse my cutie pie. " Sahur replied pinching her chubby cheeks.

The brother sister conversation continued.

.........,

" Mishi , that is for Noor. I gave you your gift already. You forgot?" Misha's father said seeing Misha excitedly opening the gift.
Misha stopped and looked at her father .
" Gift for Noor? Why abbu ?" Misha asked her father frowning.
" I bought a gift for you so I bought one for her as well." Her father replied taking the gift from her.
" But it's my birthday not hers"
" Yeah but she would have felt bad or left out . What's wrong beta? She is your sister. You should not have any problem if she gets a gift as well. Okay?" Her father explained lovingly caressing her hair.
" But abbu-"
Her father interrupted
" Misha baccha .come here."
He made her sit on his lap.
" I have been noticing that you don't play with Noor . You guys are same age. I thought you both will bond really well. What happened baby?"
" Abbu you didn't celebrate my birthday like every year because of her. Now you also brought her a gift. It's my birthday na why is everything happening for her?"
Misha asked her father looking down sadly.
Her father pecked her forehead and tried explaining the situation.
" Baccha every year we have a big party with so many people. But this time Noor is not well. She won't be able to handle the crowd. You have seen na how scared she gets even if we have 2-3 guests. And about birthday. Beta it's okay if one year your birthday is not celebrated grandly. The most precious gift you could get on a birthday or any other day is blessing. And you got so many blessings from so many people. Your aunts , uncles, cousins, grandparents, your friends, teachers . Even the owner and workers of  local shop down the street remembered your birthday and wished you. So many people wished you and sent you gifts. Everyone loves you so much meri jaan. That is the most important thing. Decoration and playing games and everything can be done next time too. But you should be happy and grateful that you have so many people blessing you. "
Misha nodded her head getting happy. She started sharing how the dukaan vale uncle and bhayyas all gave her chocolates and wished her. Her father enjoyed her talks and they kept talking about all the gifts.

" Abbu " Misha heard her brother calling their father while coming inside the house. She continued walking down the stairs while looking at them.
" I have given the order for Noor's birthday cake along with other savouries.  Everyone is invited, decoration is decided, cake is done. Few things are left that also will be done soon .I am sure Noor will love the surprise on her birthday."
Misha missed the second last step listening their conversation.
She fell down calling out for her mother. She let out a light scream.
" Mammmaaa"
Her father and brother rushed to her. Her father quickly took her in his arms while Sahur started checking her for any injuries. She screamed when he touched her foot and said it's paining alot. Her mother came running till then. She crouched down to her level and tried consoling her.
They decided to take her to the doctor.  Her parents took her to the doctor while Sahur stayed with Noor.
