AUTHOR POV

"Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday to you dear Vanya happy birthday to you"

With an adorable grin plastered on her face, Vanya cut the huge cake which was placed infront of her.

She started by feeding the cake to each person, going from her parents then to Vikram.

"Happy birthday dumbo" Smiling happily at the screen which was on Abhay's phone she replied. "Thankyou dumber. Here have the cake too"

When she moved the piece of cake closer to the television, everyone laughed excluding that one person.

"Don't you dare to laugh and make sure to be the first person to reach here in the morning" She said glaring at Dhruv as he nodded his head like a obedient child.

They all said good night to one another before making their way to their specific bedrooms after having an amazing time together.

When Vanya entered her room, it was precisely 1:00 a.m. It was her birthday, and she had to force a smile on her face in the morning, so she sighed to herself.

She was about to retire to bed after wiping the cake-filled cream off her face when there came a knock on her door.

She approached to the door and opened it only to find her oldest brother waiting for her.

"Bhaiya aap yha iss waqt mei?" She asked as he entered inside the room. "Hmm...kyu nhi aa skta kya?" he asked sitting on the bed as she shook her head approaching towards him.

He gazed at her and carressed her head as she sat on the bed next to him. "Now tell me what's wrong," he said as her brows furrowed and she gave him a perplexed glance.

"What's wrong bhaii?" He sighed hearing her reply. "I know you are hiding something Vanya but you cannot hide anything from your brother. So tell me what's bothering you" he asked again.

"Don't worry bhaii m fine and nothing is bothering me" her voice came out almost as a whisper. "If anything ever happens or anyone bother's you just break that person's bones. Rest your brother's will handle" she chuckled at him. "You are crazy bhaii" she replied laughing cutely.

"Crazy for your bhabi" he wishpered.

"Huh? "You said something?" She asked looking at him. Shaking his head he replied. "Nothing sleep"

"Good night princess" he said pecking her forehead. "Good night bhaii" she replied as he walked out from the room.

As she responded to every message, she could not help but groan at how unfinished the messages were.

"I feel the luckiest to have all of these people's in my life but if I don't mention back thier stories or reply thier messages for sure they are gonna eat me alive" Shaking her head she spoke to herself.

Keeping the phone aside for a while she drank the glass of water which was placed on the night stand.

She picked up her phone once more and began to scroll down when a message appeared on her screen which made her scream.

Throwing the phone somewhere near the bed she inhaled a deep breath and calmed her racing heart.

"No..c-can't he..he can't b-be here..no..no" Her hands began to itch, and tears filled her eyes. She began to scratch her palm harshly and continued to inhale deeply.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, she hurried to the bathroom, turned on the sink's faucet, and submerged her hand in the chilly water.

She was not ready to quit hurting her palm, and tears were pouring from her eyes endlessly.
