Author's POV:
At night, Saif was lying face down in his room, lost in thought for an unknown amount of time. His eyes were red as if he had shed many silent tears. If you looked closely, you could see dark circles around his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in days.
His eyes were on some deep point and his mind was somewhere else when Taemoor's voice echoed in his mind,
“You are the person who has always understood me, even if I don't tell you anything from my heart, you know it. And this is what makes our relationship strong, so I want you to not hide anything from me, Saif. Everyone has betrayed me; don't let me down. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to return.”
The tears welled up as he thought of those words. He took a deep breath, got up a little, drank some water, and lay down again. Then he made a failed attempt to sleep, but he had to.
His half-asleep eyes were opened by a knock on the window. He opened his eyes and looked at the window. The window was open. He remembered it clearly. He had closed the window. Then how?
He slowly got up and checked on it. Who could it be at this time? A thief? No, no, a thief couldn't come in with such security. Then it would be this cat. Such a trouble this cat was in his life, he was thinking about Yashal’s cat. Not remembering that the cat has already left with Kashaf. He looked around while closing the window and had just turned around after closing it when….
“ SURPRISE……..”
Suddenly, the lights turned on, and Yashal Taemoor, Rukhsar, and Mr. Tabriaz were standing in front. Taemoor had the cake in his hand, Yashal had the rest of the birthday supplies in her hands, Rukhsar had gifts in her hands, and Mr. Tabriaz was clapping.
Saif took a deep breath to return that seemed to relieve all the burden from his chest and smiled.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU… Happy birthday dear joker, joke maker, trouble maker, happy birthday to you”
Everyone was praising him, giving him their own nicknames, and Saif was very happy. He liked seeing Taemoor and Yashal after so many days more than this birthday surprise.
After a while, he was cutting the cake and feeding everyone. When it was Taemoor's turn to feed it, he took the cake from Saif and fed it to him, hugging him. Saif felt that if this moment had not come, he would have died. He was so calm, as if he had just woken up, At that moment, all he was told was,
“I missed you so much, Bhai.”
He felt his voice coming from the abyss. Taemoor felt the fullness of his voice and released him. He looked at his face. And Saif was crying like a little child while Yashal laughed.
“See, I said you're missing us, and this is proof of how much”
“I was just missing my brother, not you.”
He said this while crying and everyone laughed.
“Hey, buddy, look at me. I missed you more”
Taemoor confessed. Wiping his tears.
Rukhsar came ahead while picking his gifts, and said
“Saif, my child, my son, what you are for me, I can't tell; I had spent the days without you while counting when you were out of the country for studies. I sent you, but I was the one who missed you a lot. Then I realized when I sent Taemoor, I didn't miss him or worry about him the way I did about you. I can't live without you even for a second that's how much I love you”
Rukhsar said, all while crying in happiness and kissing Saif.
“ You worried about him because you know he's trouble maker” Yashal announced. All smiled along and Yashal was watching them silently.
