~Forever doesn't mean till the end of the world, it just means till the end of our breaths ~
An excited Nandini frowned when Manik stopped the car at her apartment. She looked at him with narrowed eyebrows and he chuckled looking at her adorable expression.
"Are you telling me my own apartment is my 25th gift?", she pouted and Manik actually burst out laughing at her. Who would say she actually turned 25 looking at her antics!
He simply shrugged his shoulders and opened his side of the door to come out of the car. Nandini followed suit, and walked towards her house, fidgeting with her purse for the keys. Opening the house, she set in to find the entire house decorated with balloons and flowers and lights. It was all so beautiful that she was smitten with the decoration for a long time. But did she want to give him the pleasure of satisfaction that she loved it?
Nopes.
She turned back to find him standing at the door with a smirk on his face.
" I liked the surprise but wasn't it but obvious? What can you do other than decorating it?", She laughed out loud trying to tease him but the smirk on his face deepened rather than going away.
" Nandini Murthy, how many times I need to tell you that you are dumb that doesn't means I am too", he said raising an eyebrow and heat rose up her face. Pouting angrily she went in and sat on the couch when Manik came and stood in front of her. How dare he tease her that too on her own birthday!
" LIGHTS...CAMERA...ACTION!", he said aloud and Nandini frowned at him when two hands came from behind and closed her eyes.
"Guess who?", Manik asked her and Nandini ran her hand over the hand covering her eyes. As her right hand touched a metallic ring on the thumb of that hand, she gasped in shock and a wide smile appeared on her face.
" Oh my god! Muktiiiii? ", Nandini screamed out loud when Mukti came in front of her and hugged her tight, giggling.
" Happy birthday mommy", she winked and though this nickname irritated the shit out of Nandini sometimes , she ignored it and hugged her back, both laughing like school girls.
" God! It's what? Two years? You couldn't even make it to Kabir's wedding! Huh!", Nandini taunted her and Mukti laughed at her attempt. She was too naive to taunt someone.
"Kabir could get married without me but it's your birthday, and that too special one. You really think I could afford missing it for the world?", Mukti answered with a proud grin and Nandini smiled again, before wrapping her arms around Mukti again. Her cheeks were hurting from all the smiling.
Sometimes it's all about expressing. Sometimes you need to say it aloud thay yes you matter to me. Sometimes saying this aloud makes someone feel good about themselves.
Nandini though knew well that she matters to Mukti much more than Kabir or anyone else but she asked it purposefully just to hear it from her once. Mukti knew her well enough but still gave a cheesy answer because she knew her insecurities. That's the depth of friendship! As Mukti and Nandini started gossiping, a voice startled them.
" Gossiping? Without me?", Alya asked emerging from the kitchen and now that was a greater shock for the birthday girl. After that horrendous fight they had, she had not expected even a call from Alya, forget about her presence. After five good minutes of staring at each other, the three friends pounced upon each other hugging the life out of them.
"I am so happy today that I can't even express, literally best birthday ever!",Nandini shrieked turning to Manik and both the girls eyes towards Manik who was busy capturing their moments in his phone, but laughed out loud at her screaming.
