PREM : Dosti Aur Dil Series Book #1

31. Happy birthday!!

1 year later...

Ridhima's pov

"Ridhi please go and wake that idiot up. Because if I see him I am going to kick him. He is sleeping late even on his birthday." His mother said looking at the clock.

I smiled and nodded. The past one year has been a bliss for me. We went on a date almost everyday.

Karan is literally the ideal man every women needs.

He even rented out an entire theatre one time just so we both were alone and could comfortably watch the movie.

Let's not talk about the office hours. He hates it when I pretend like he is only my boss during work time.

I walked up the stairs to his room. Today is his birthday so I decided to suprise him by coming unannounced.

I opened the door of his room and saw him sleeping peacefully.

I went near him silently and saw a few of his hair strands were falling on his face.

He looks soo cute and majestic even when he is asleep. I gently tapped his shoulder while calling his name.

"Please ridhi, I love you na. 5 more minutes." He said and held my hand.

Wait what?!?. Did he already know I was gonna come here?. But what about my suprise.

"Karan please wake up. We need to go to the temple too and maa is also angry." I said and sat down while caressing his face.

That was a very very wrong move because the next second he pulled me on the bed and hugged me.

He slowly opened his eyes and gave me a grin once he saw me staring at him in shock.

"Good morning sweetheart." He said in a deep morning voice. Uffffff.

"Good morning handsome and also a very Happy birthday." I said and pulled his cheeks.

He slowly realised that it's his birthday and then he immediately ingulfed me in a tight hug.

"Stopppp I am unable to breathe." I said while giggling.

"You are literally the bestttttt." He said and started kissing everywhere on my face.

I just kept giggling throughout until he was about kiss on my lips. I stopped him.

"You did not brush Karan." I said and he rolled his eyes before uttering a 'fine'.

He again layed down while hugging me and we stayed like that for some more time.

"Karan" I asked.

"Yes baby?" He asked while caressing my hair.

"How did you know that I was the one waking you up?"

"Meaning?" He asked getting confused.

"I mean that how did you know I was going to come to your house to suprise you. I didn't tell anyone."

Karan's pov

Well how do I tell my gf that I was dreaming about her being my wife and waking me up in the morning.

And that's the exact time she wakes me up in real life too. Is this really a coincidence?

"Well I think about you all the time so maybe that's why I knew." I said in a flirty way leaning closer.

She made an 'oh' face and her face turned completely red. I gave her a teasing smile.

she immediately hugged me hiding her face in my chest. Suddenly she got a call from mom. I am doomed.

She lifted the call and then gave it to me because mom said so. I shook my head and she shoved the phone in my hands.

"Good morninggg ma-"

"KARAN SINGHANIA GET READY AND COME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I WILL DRAG YOU DOWN THE STAIRS." she said shouting at the phone.

"Y-yes maa I am coming down. Bas abhi 5 minute mei naha ke atta hoon mai I love you maa byee." I said immediately getting up from the bed.

(I am coming in 5 minutes after bathing.)

She cut the call and I gave the phone to Ridhima. I noticed her controlling her laugh.

"What's soo funny?" I asked getting on the bed again.

"Maa is calling again." She said looking at her phone.

"Please tell her I went to bath." I said and started running to the bathroom.

I stopped in my tracks when I heard her burst into laughter.

"You are joking right?" I said getting near her.

She nodded and ran away downstairs when I tried to catch her. I could hear her still laughing.

A smiled formed on my face. Thank you god. What a beautiful way to start my birthday.

I got ready and wore a simple kurta as we are going to the temple now.



I went down and everyone wished and complimented me including my mother who was threatening me sometime ago.

All four of us went to a famous temple which was 1 hour away from our home.

We were nicely able to get darshan and we returned home. We ate breakfast outside itself.

We then decided to rest for some time and then go watch a movie, roam outside, just chill you know.

We did as planned and it was evening till we returned home. I felt soo happy throughout the day because all my family is with me.

"I have a surprise for you Karan." She said making me smile.

"What is it baby?" I asked and she told me to close my eyes.

I did so and they led me to the dinning table. Once I opened my eyes I saw a cake infront of me.



"I made it for you. I hope you like it." She said and I smiled widely. I pulled her in a hug.

We broke the hug but I still held her close.

I cut my cake as they sang the 'happy birthday 'song. I always found it cringe until now.

I took a piece in my hand but was confused whom to feed first. Ridhima signalled me to feed my parents first.

I took cake in both of my hands and fed both of them together. We fed each other. Ridhima tugged on my shirt.

"How was the cake?" She whispered in my ears.

I pulled her closer as mom and dad were busy preparing for the food.

"Delicious, just like you." I said and she shyly looked down.

"I have a gift for you." She wishpered again.

"What is it?" I asked and she took me to a corner. She pulled me by my collar before kissing me.

I responded immediately and we kissed. We broke the kiss and she gave me a box.

I opened the box and saw that it was a Rolex watch. I already have a collection of watches but this is the most special one.

I hugged her tightly and she was happy that I liked her gift.

"I have a surprise for you too." I said holding her close.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We are going on a business trip to paris after two days"
