''HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABHIMAAN!''

''HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MUMMA PAPA!''

Abhimaan and his parents chimed in and were surprised to see each other with cakes.

''Abhimaan?'' Abhira asked, bewildered seeing a cake in his hand and his room decorated with her and Armaan's photos.

''Ah! I know its my birthday but its your anniversary too!'' Abhimaan exclaimed.

''So lets blow candles together!'' Armaan replied.

Both the parents and Abhimaan blew candles on their respective cakes.

''Happiest birhtday mera maan! Uparwala tujhe humesha khush rakhe, khushiyaan de dher saari, ekdum wholesale mein aur bohot saari tandrusti aur umar dein!'' Abhira blessed his son.

''Humare bete ko saari khushiyan mile, woh ek accha, saccha aur kamiyab vakeel bane aur justice keliye fight kare!'' Armaan added.

''Mere mumma aur papa ko dher saari khushiyaan mile, aise hi woh muskurate rahein, aur unhe humesha ek doosre ka saath naseeb ho,  harajanam, har jahaan'' Abhimaan replied.

''Baap re itni filmy baatein?'' Abhira asked

''Happy anniversary to my most lovely, wonderful people. Aur kal ka din sirf mere birthday nahi, aapki anniversary bhi hai jo aap log humesha bhulte aarahe hain. So kal ka din is dedicated to you two only. Shaam ko mera birthday celebrate kiya jayega, isiliye don't try to sacrifice it.''

''Accha baba theek hai, cake cut karlein?'' Armaan said and the trio cut the cakes and fed each other.

''So jayiye kal ek bohot pyaara surprise aap keliye wait kar raha!"

''Surprise?'' Abhira and Armaan asked together.

''Haan. Bas baatein kal karenge, goodnight!'' Abhimaan wished them and retreated to his room.

2ND NOVEMBER- 9 AM.

Abhira and Armaan stood in awe as they gazed at the outfits laid out on the bed. The navy blue suit exuded sophistication, perfectly complementing Armaan's tall and confident stature. On the other side, the yellow gown adorned with sunflower prints seemed to beckon Abhira, encapsulating a charm that was both whimsical and elegant.

With a mischievous smile still lingering on their faces from Abhimaan's prank, the couple decided to embrace the unexpected and don the unfamiliar attire. Armaan, after adjusting his tie in the mirror, felt a newfound sense of poise and elegance in his tailored suit. Meanwhile, Abhira couldn't contain her joy as she twirled in the stunning gown, feeling like she had stepped into a fairy tale.

"Tu meri suraj aur main tera aasman," Armaan declared with a grin as he planted a gentle kiss on Abhira's cheek. She couldn't help but blush at his words.

"Mere cute-maan, you look dashing!" Abhira replied, admiring Armaan's transformation.
"You, my desi belle, look absolutely beautiful," Armaan complimented, unable to take his eyes off his wife.

As they made their way out of the room, Abhimaan's delighted face greeted them, adding to their excitement. "You both look absolutely stunning!" he exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with pride. Leading them outside, a beautifully decorated car awaited them, signaling that the surprises were far from over.

"Bohot kharcha kiya hai tune!" Abhira couldn't help but express her amazement.
"Mumma, please, today is about your and dad's anniversary. Just enjoy the moment," Armaan chimed in, urging his mother to let go of any worries about expenses.
