HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, RIDDHIMA!

"So, how is everything?"

" Don't ask. Doctors can't be patients too! All nighters, insomnia etc etc taking a toll on me."

Riddhima huffed, fastening her seat belt.

Saakshi chuckled, "Let's talk about something else!"

Riddhima was coming home for holidays, just in time to celebrate her birthday with her family and friends.

Riddhima smirked, "Tell me about Dev. When are you both going to settle down?"

 Deep blush coated Saakshi's cheeks as she was stuttering, "Uhm... We're just..."

Riddhima rolled her eyes at her cousin, "Yeah, just friends. Getting clicked while out on brunch, him waving at you from the ground, while you are clapping at his ton, him dropping love quotes in DM and flirting under your posts, says otherwise though. God get married already fgs. I wanna get good clicks and have a blast dancing in Sangeet."

Saakshi sarcastically said, "Badi planning karke rakhi hai? Chal ab tu bata tere life mein jo hai uske baare mein!"

"Am single. For life." 

Riddhima dismissed it in the air.

And at that moment, her phone, lying on the dashboard, pinged with msgs.

Softie

Roses or Peonies?

Don't ask why.

Just answer.

Peonies 🙄

'Kay, love. Bye!

Areey!


"Ohh. So you're having a chat with him? Dikhao dikhao?" Saakshi poked, "What is he typing and asking the birthday girl btw?"

Now it was time for Riddhima to blush like a tomato, "Hatto. Jaldi karo, I can't wait to be home!"

"Give them time to prepare for your birthday, Girl! Btw, we're celebrating it in the farmhouse. Just a quick stop at home for changing. I hope you're not tired."

"Tired and me? Hah. Am excited!" The birthday girl grinned.

Getting home, after freshening up and changing into a ravishing blue split gown, Riddhima was all set.

Entering the farmhouse, she was trying to cope up with the seeking blessings, when she was taken in bone crushing hugs.

"Oww oww, Shubi! My bones are legit crushed!"

"Hatt. Happy Birthday, Riddhima!" Shubman broke out of the hug and grinned, holding a big wrapped box in front of his  bosom friend, crime partner and a lot. It would be a total history book of you want to know about their friendship, so it's going to be a tale for another day.

"Thanks a lot, Shubi!"

"Happy Birthday, Riddhima." Dev, greeted, in his sweet voice and gave her gift.

She thanked him and placing the gift on the table, looked around, why are there so many guests around? I don't think all of them are here for just my birthday."

"They are. Want this party to be the best, just for you so gathered as much people as we could. Enjoy your time, Ridhi!" Shubman cheered and went on the dance floor.

"Where's the cake?" Riddhima asked, noticing the centre table in the lawn empty.

"Abhay is getting that." Dev scratched the back of his neck while Saakshi sighed, "At least he's helping a bit. Ishan is so lazy and kaamchor. Got knows where he is and what he's doing!"

" Let's enjoy a bit, girl. Rest can wait!" 

"Am here! But dance and music first!" Abhay hollered.

They were dancing, in full josh. Read Shubman  was trying to imitate Michael Jackson, Abhay was doing another rendition of one of his hilarious moves, Saakshi and Dev we're all heart eyes at each other and sharing inside jokes while Ridhi just absorbed in the atmosphere.

"Happy Birthday, Dr. Riddhima."

A husky voice said from behind.

A damn Riddhima had to try her best to kee a neutral face.

She turned around only to have a bouquet of Peonies shoved at her face.

Ishan said again, "Happy Birthday."

"Thanks a lot, Ishan."

Riddhima smiled, trying not to grin and look like a fool.

A fool in love.

"Can I have the honor of having a dance with the birthday girl, the prettiest of all?"

" You may, your highness." She giggled and let him take her palm in his.

"What the fudge is happening?Since when these two come in good terms?" Abhay asked, munching on a cheeseball.

 Saakshi was agape, "And it's the first time am seeing she didn't throw a punch at anyone trying to flirt with her!"

" Daal mein kucch toh kaala hai! Wait, gotcha! You all give me my 6000, each one of you."

Realisation dawned upon the rest.

Ishan being sneaky lately, waking up late, trying to hide his phone, both of them being online at the same time, both not disclosing about their relationship, disappearing from social media occasionally and a lot more finally made sense to them.

"I think they have guessed it you know, Softie." Riddhima chuckled as the pair danced to Shayad.

"Let them. I guess it's time to be official too. We can't hide the leap of faith we're taking, beautiful." Ishan smiled and twirled her.

And that's when, under the moonlight, the thing on her ring finger shone, letting everyone else know.

And her birthday ended with Abhay literally fainting, Saakshi trying to close her wide open jaw, Shub sniffling dramatically and Dev just staring.

Idk what I wrote lol, but I hope you liked it, Riddhima.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE 🥰

PS - I hope Saakshi won't throw saucepans at me for including her here. Lovesofsm
