#BirthdaySurprise

"I'm standing on the balcony of my home, enveloped by the soothing touch of the cool breeze, whispering secrets of the world. The refreshing air caresses my cheeks, as if nature itself is reaching out to communicate. Closing my eyes, I surrender to the moment, and in that serenity, all I see is Sidhh.

Instantly, a smile begins to dance on my lips. Despite his reserved nature, the intensity in his eyes speaks volumes. Though he doesn't say much, I find a unique comfort in his presence, losing myself in the moments we share.

I felt a twinge of sadness when he mentioned liking someone. But why should I feel sad? Shouldn't I be happy for him? I'm uncertain about my feelings for him, but the thought of him loving someone else is hard to bear.

My chain of thoughts is interrupted as my phone suddenly lights up with a caller ID-'Sidhh.'Seeing 'Sidhh' on the caller ID ignited a whirlwind of emotions within me.

My heart raced, caught between anticipation and a touch of anxiety. The cool breeze that had earlier felt serene now carried a sense of suspense. I couldn't help but wonder why he was calling, especially at this late hour. A mix of curiosity, excitement, and a hint of nervousness painted the backdrop of my emotions as I hesitated before answering the call.

"Why did you call me?" I asked nervously, a subtle flutter in my chest betraying my anticipation.

"No hi hello! Koi baat nai, I will teach you; you will get used to it. Hi sayi!" he chuckled, his laughter creating a comforting warmth despite my nerves.

"Hii Sidhh! Now tell me, why did you call me?" I inquired, a mix of curiosity and a touch of vulnerability in my voice.

He sighed, and I could almost feel the weight of his response. "Hmm, someone is missing me badly, so I thought of giving them my darshan."

"Says who?" I replied, my cheeks betraying the hint of a blush as his words lingered.

"The one who is speaking to me," he revealed, his tone carrying a playful tease that stirred emotions within me.

Trying to regain composure, I asked, "Had dinner?"

"No, I'm on my way home," he replied, and a soft 'oh' escaped my lips.

"What are you doing?" he asked, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Nothing, just enjoying the weather," I said, attempting to keep the conversation casual.

As I stood on the balcony, absorbed in our conversation, a familiar car caught my eye. In the next moment, my eyes widened in surprise. Sidhh? What's he doing here? Am I imagining things?

No, surely I'm losing my mind.The world around me seemed to freeze as I watched him step out of the car. Confusion and amazement swirled inside me, creating a strange moment that made me question what was happening.

The gentle breeze, which had been soothing, now felt charged with an air of mystery, echoing the puzzlement of this unexpected moment.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't a dream. "Sidhh? Sidhh? Where are you? I can see you right in front of me?" I uttered, a blend of disbelief and hopeful anticipation in my voice.

"Yes, it's me," he said, looking at me.

Damn his eyes. Everything about him is just... damn. He looked so fine in his white shirt, with his messy hair adding a touch of effortless charm.
