Happy Birthday My Love

Her first birthday

I was 4 when the first time my Parent took me along to Sanjay Papa's house for her birthday...her First birthday. He is my father's best friend and I'm no less than a child to them (to him and his wife Meera maa)but then that day I found someone whom he love equally or maybe more. She is sitting over Meera maa's lap looking like that little angle in her white color flowery dress like mamma told me the other day from my story books. She is so beautiful. Her eyes, her hands, her feet so small, so delicate. She is the centre of attraction we can say. Everyone wants to hold her, Pamper her, my parents are no less but she is that cranky baby but I don't know what happened why she suddenly stopped crying when Maa was trying to tell her about me and showing me her little face. There is something in her that I look in fascination that was the first time I touch her face so closely with my little fingers. She is so soft I mused. She is going to cut her first b'day cake Maa told me.

But so is so small??!-I questioned when Meera maa ask me to assist her and I happily agreed. I took the first piece and wondered whom to feed it first it was her birthday but she is so small, what if she don't like it. But then I thought to feed her and after eating she clapped her hands in joy means she liked it. Her smile makes me smile that day.

YOU are my BEST FRIEND

I was 10 and mehak was turning 7 this year's hate the fact that my parents force me to come to mehak's birthday when I want to go attend my best friend's party.so, they are adamant and I hate it more when I saw a bunch of girls came and start giggling seeing me sitting around the chair alone.i amused why never any boy was invited to her party. All the giggly girls, stupids.

Mehak came there as usual with her million dollar smile but I didn't smile back. Her pink coloured fairy dress is looking beautiful on her but I'm sad and mad for what my parents did to me. All my friend must enjoyed there and here I'm sitting lonely with these stupid girls around I mentally thought and want to cry.

What's wrong??Mehak asked seeing my face.

Nothing!i replied curtly.

Tell me! What is there that is worrying you? I will solve it.

You can't mehak.GO away please leave me alone.

Plz shaurya tell me naa she again propped.

Fine! You ....you are my problem. My parent wants me to come here but I want to enjoy my best friend's party. Got that now go.

I regret each words a second later when the pool of tears start forming in her eyes, she is sensitive I know and I made her cry on her birthday. It makes me guiltier.

Mehak,i..I'm sorry.plz don't cry I promise I won't say anything to you.plz plz don't cry.

Her tears are my weakness I know from the very beginning.

No shaurya,i'm sorry coz of me you are not able to join your best friend's birthday.i want you to come coz I thought I'm your best friend like you are my best friend.plz shaurya don't be sad. You can shout, you can pull my hairs. But don't get angry. You can even go to your best friend's party and even next year too but just don't be sad.wait, i'll ask Harish papa to help you reach there

I can't help but told her, i'm not going. Let's cut the cake and yes, you are my best friend too. And never ever cry like this.

She wiped her tears hurriedly and showing me her toothless smile. That day I promise I will never let her celebrate this day alone as she is my best friend how can I leave her party and let her enjoy alone.
