Evening time.
Some hours before the big night.
Anika has already bought all the necessary ingredients....to bake the cake for the bridal shower....or let's say bachelorette party.
Since she was tasked with the duties of catering ( food and refreshments).... because she was an excellent bakery....and we'll let's say a better cook than Rivya...and not to mention a food enthusiast.
While Rivya...since the party was at their house....or let's put it like this....they were the hosts...they were in charge of decorations and steering committee.
Everything was coming great on their side.
Take a look.


Let's switch sides to Anika.

Anika arrived at the storey flat building...then she remembers something....since she was too busy...that her scooter still had a flat tyre....then she took the ingredients first to the apartment and then went to the garage.

She found her scooter...was better than new.

She was surprised...then a note fell down...she picked it up.

It was reading and I quote..............

"A small gesture to make the day end well for you.... PS...it won't cost you anything than to thank me."

Yours sincerely,
SSO.

"He thinks...just because he has fixed my scooter...I mean Champa... we're even...it's going take more than that....to earn my forgiveness... anyways....why am I still thinking about him...I have still a lot of work to finish," Anika said to herself.

She left to the apartment.

She went to the kitchen.

She started baking the cake for the big night....she was done...with the rolling... kneading...and everything...then put it inside the oven...also putting a timer to time ones it's ready.

Keeping herself busy waiting for the cake...she checked her bucket list...to see if everything was done.

Let's see.

1 Refreshments....tick.

2 Snacks....tick.

3. Cake..not yet.

4 Pizza....not yet....I wondered what's taking time for the pizza guy...not to come....then out of the blue....a knock is heard at the door.

She requests her grandma to please answer it...but she remembers that she went to visit her friend....and goes.

She opens the door.

"About time!!" Anika exclaimed.

"Sorry...ma'am....today it happens...we we're packed," pizza guy replied handing over the pizza.

"It's okay...so how much do I pay you?" Anika asked.

"250.. ma'am," pizza guy replied.

She removes some money from her pocket and hands him.

"Thank you miss," pizza guy replied.

"It's cool," Anika replied.

He left.

She closed the door.

She put the pizza box on the table and headed to the kitchen.

Coincidentally...the timer rang....the cake was ready...she wore her muffins and removed the cake from the oven.

Then switched off the oven.

It was looking delicious and appetizing.

Then she decorated it about...to appear more appeasing.

She finished.

Take a look.

"Everything is done

"Everything is done....( she checks her watch)...she's running late...I am getting late...I should go before the bride comes," Anika said to herself.

She packed everything then locked the doors and shut the windows and left to the garage.

She then drove her scooter to Rivya's apartment.

She arrived....she parked it...at their garage...then knocked at their door.

Rivya open the door.

"It took you long enough," Bhavya said.

"Sorry...my bad... Bhavya...well you know....how our oven...is...is getting old," Anika replied.

"Enough with this guys...we should do our last finishing touches...she's about to arrive," Gauri said.

They did their one twos and threes.

They were done.

Avneil arrives.

"Neil...am really getting scared...what if they don't like me?" Avni asked.

"Stop thinking negatively... honeybunch....we talked about this....there is no turning back....just relax and enjoy the party....and have a great time ( he 😘 on the cheek)," Neil replied.

"Thanks Neil...I really needed that....I'll leave...you also enjoy your boys night out....see you tomorrow," Avni replied.

She walked out of the car and waved Neil good bye.

She then proceeded into the house.

"Is that her?" Anika asked.

"Yes...it's show time...switch off the lights," Bhavya replied.

Gauri turned off the lights.

The trio hid.

Avni knocked but there wasn't any response.

Then...out of the blue...the door opened by itself...then closed by itself...she was getting scared...she was thinking is this a bachelorette party....or a Halloween party...

"Ooh heavens...what have I gotten myself into!!" She thought.

Then out of the blue...lights came back on.

Anirivya stood next to the banner and shouted.... Surprise!!!!!!!

Avni was shocked....she never ever expected this...she only had of surprise parties in movies...but never actually was thrown for her.....and to add salt to the injury...she never got chance to celebrate her birthday....tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Anirivya thought she hated the surprise party...then headed towards her.

"Avni...is everything alright...or do you hate the party we throw for you...if that's case...we can take down everything....will do everything it takes...to make you happy....after all it's your day?" Bhavya asked.

"No...no..it's nothing as such....those are tears of joy...yes....I got carried away by my emotion...back there...the truth is it's better than I ever imagined or dreamt....kudos to all of you," Avni replied.

"Awww.... how so sweet... everybody group hug," Gauri insisted.

They hugged...then broke it and proceeded to the party.
