"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAINAA!!" Yelled a crowd which includes Rifa, Reema, Hafiya aunt & her husband Fayaz, Zaina's parents, Shifa and Haya. For her amusement Hakam was there too.
She couldn't believe her eyes, the hall was decorated with balloons of her favorite color pink, white and purple, and it was filled with some other decorations too which made the place a fairy-land.
She stood stunned.
As if it's all a dream. Tears started pouring down her cheeks and they were the tears of happiness, whereas she had forgotten that it was her birthday. This was one of her best surprise she'd ever had, she thought to herself.
She squeezed Rifa with a big thankyou!
"Bii.. You should thank your lover boy! It was all his ideas and plans! And um his assistant.., who is there to make the best babhi on earth to feel special in all the way i cannn..!" Saying so Rifa gave her a bear hug.
Zaina, who was over the moon, turned into a tomato, smiled shyly and got hugs and kisses from the all of them (except Hakam & his Dad) while she murmured her thanks, almost gleefully to everyone.
Hakam, who was in the crest of happiness by seeing those twinkling eyes of Zaina, blushed slightly. Rifa took Zaina near Hakam, whereas Zaina blushed heavily and was squeezing Rifa's hand in nervous. Hakam looked at Zaina.
"Happy birthday! May Allah grant you with all the Happiness..!" Said Hakam in really a sincere tone. Which he really meant it.
Zaina, who blushed heavily, was looking down at the floor, and tears of happiness were flowing down her cheeks. She was searching for words to thank him.
"Jazakallah..! This is the best surprise I had ever received! I'm so happy and that's so nice of you to..!" Before Zaina finish her stammering speech of thanks,
"I want you to be happy like this forever ma! Don't cry.. Now you gonna get puffy eyes... !" Said Hakam smiling in a mock-serious tone.
A smiled escaped Zaina's lips!
"Aww that was such a cutoo lovey dovey scene" Rifa said looking stunned!
Zaina and Hakam almost forgotten that Rifa was there, quickly dropped their heads down and wished to divert the topic.
Thankfully, they heard Hafiya say,
"Kiddos, we are starving to eat this yummy looking cake, Zaina baby are you going to make us starve like this through out the night"
Zaina felt it to be the most awkward moment, and she was brought infront of a plummy looking strawberry cheese cake which had something written on it, and that said "to my beloved Queen of my life" Zaina turned red at once.
*****
After a happy and cheerful moment they had together, all were back to their home except Rifa, Shaifa and Haya. They had an unplanned sleepover. Whereas all were in Zaina's bed, surrounding a cute parcel given by Hakam to Zaina as the birthday gift.
"Open.. Open.. Openn..." The three of them over-excitedly nagged Zaina.
Zaina, being equally excited like the other three, had a twitched feeling in her stomach, because she was suspecting that what if it was something.. -something.. Romantic!
As it was just the four of them, the awkwardness didn't matter much. After much hesitation,
"Ohhkay girlies..!! Ugh.. 1.. 2.. 3.." And she pulled the red ribbon which was tied up around the box which was wrapped in a white paper with little tiny red hearts in it.
"Hugh" sighed Zaina and looked the three of them.
"Hm?? Opennnn!!" Whispered the three. Slowly and carefully, minding not to make any damage to the cover, Zaina removed each and every side of the wrapping.
"Argh..!! You are testing our patience!!" Said Haya in a mock-serious tone. The other two were stunned by the love expression Zaina had in her face. Swallowing heard, with a color of pitch red on either of her cheeks, Zaina opened the box.
"Wow.." Cried the three of them in chorus. Yes. It was a beautiful platinum chain set with an extraordinary heart shaped pendant, which had both letter H and Z carved inside it and's decorated with beautiful silver diamonds around it.
"I never knew bhai could select so awesomely!" Beamed Rifa.
Zaina, who was very impressed with the gift, blushed even more. She was stunned and took a deep breathe before commenting on the gift.
Rifa, quickly rang Hakam and had the speaker on. Hakam, who was about to close his eyes, was disturbed by the call and as it was Rifa, he answered the phone understanding her sister's plan. After-all same blood, Hakam chuckled at this thought.
"Oh my god! Masha Allah! The gift is.. I donno.., it's more than Awesome!" Said Zaina, who was almost in tears and at the same time had the amazed tone either.
"Bhaii.. Now you can sleep peacefully! Bii loves the gift as much as she loves you" half-shouted Rifa.
Wait what? Hakam? Confused Zaina looked at Rifa with a horrorstruck expression.
Then she saw the phone in Rifa's hand, which had the caller ID on!
"Oh my goddd!! Riffff..." Cried Zaina in embarrassment and tried to grab the phone from her hand.
Rifa was quicker than Zaina, while Shaifa and Haya held Zaina's hand from reaching the phone in Rifa's hand. Hakam on the other-side, pictured the image of what might be going on, coughed in order to grab their attention.
"Ahemm! stop nagging my princess! And yeah! Zaina um sorry, and um happy that you loved the gift, will you please where it for me?" Asked Hakam. Fully-blushed Zaina, nodded in agreement. "Bii say yes! Because bhaii cant see you nodding yar" winked Rifa while Haya and Shaifa giggled.
Zaina, throwing a deathly glare at the three of them said a 'yes' under her breathe, where Hakam hardly heard her say.
Within a few minutes, it hung on Zaina's neck and Zaina thanked Hakam for this extraordinary gift.
Before Hakam and Zaina got lost in their own world, Rifa cut the call by saying a bye to her bhai as it was a Girlies' night.
The rest of the night faded by the three of them pulling Zaina's leg.
It was the best night Zaina has ever had.
