30. make up?




As the group made their way to Nandhini's place, their arms laden with a colorful array of gifts, party poppers, and a beautifully decorated cake, anticipation bubbled within them. Shubman walked alongside Shreyas, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement as they approached Nandhini's apartment building.

Shreyas reached into his pocket and pulled out a key, ready to unlock the door to his sister's home. Just as he was about to insert it into the lock, he noticed Shubman doing the same, causing him to raise an eyebrow in amusement.

Shubman chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "Guess great minds think alike," he joked, trying to diffuse the awkwardness of the situation.

Shreyas shook his head, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Or maybe it's just that you've spent enough time here to have your own key," he teased, earning a sheepish grin from Shubman in return.

With a shared chuckle, Shreyas inserted the key into the lock and turned it, swinging the door open to reveal the cozy interior of Nandhini's apartment.

But as they entered the living room, their excitement turned to surprise when they saw Nandhini fast asleep on the couch, her peaceful expression illuminated by the soft glow of the lamp beside her.

The group exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what to do next. Shubman stepped forward, his heart swelling with affection as he gazed down at Nandhini's sleeping form.

"She looks so peaceful," Ishan remarked, his voice filled with awe as he observed Nandhini's serene demeanor.

Shreyas nodded in agreement, his eyes softening with fondness for his sister. "Let's not wake her," he suggested, his tone gentle as he motioned for the others to lower their voices.

Virat nodded in agreement, his expression reflecting their collective sentiment. "Yeah, let's set everything up quietly and surprise her when she wakes up," he proposed, eager to make the most of the unexpected situation.

With silent nods of agreement, the group set to work, carefully arranging the gifts and decorations around the room, being mindful not to disturb Nandhini's peaceful slumber.
After setting up the decorations and placing the gifts on the table, the group gathered around Nandhini's sleeping form, admiring her serene expression. Shubman couldn't help but smile as he watched her, his heart swelling with affection for the woman he loved.

"She looks so beautiful when she's asleep," Hardik remarked, his voice barely above a whisper as he gazed at Nandhini with admiration.

Shreyas nodded in agreement, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, she really does," he murmured, his tone filled with brotherly affection.

Ishan, ever the joker of the group, couldn't resist adding a playful comment. "I bet she'd kill us if she knew we were all here watching her sleep," he joked, earning a chuckle from the others.

As they continued to admire Nandhini's peaceful slumber, Shubman felt a pang of guilt wash over him. He couldn't believe he had forgotten her birthday, especially after everything they had been through together.

"Guys, I messed up big time," Shubman admitted, his voice filled with remorse as he glanced at his friends. "I can't believe I forgot her birthday."

His confession was met with sympathetic looks from the others, who understood the weight of his mistake. Shreyas clapped a hand on Shubman's shoulder, offering him a reassuring smile.
