Chapter Fourteen

The evening approached quicker that day, The Raizada Mansion was decorated for the birthday of Anjali Raizada-Jha. The birthday party wasn't a grand event. Only the closest friends and family were invited to be a part of the celebration of Anjali's birthday. Yet, as was obvious. Arnav Singh Raizada being the king of Fashion and Shyam Manohar Jha being the best criminal lawyer of the country couldn't help but do their best for their sister and wife respectively.

The party was in full swing, the woman of the hour was being pampered like anything by the two most important men in her life.

When Anjali entered the Raizada Mansion after a long day of shopping. She was almost completely back to her chirpy and happy self much to the relief of her husband who had been regretting his decision of a surprise party for the whole day, because it made his Anji sad on her birthday. The house was pitch dark, much to the confusion of the birthday girl.

"Where are Khushi and chotte?" Anjali frowned looking at her husband who shrugged.

"Let's get in first and we'll find out." Shyam responded leading her into the house holding her waist.

In a matter of seconds, The whole house was suddenly flooded with light and was echoing with a loud cry of SURPRISE!!

Anjali closed her eyes tightly and stumbled backwards as a result of the unexpected sound and was held in place by her husband who was expecting this sound any moment now.

Anjali opened her eyes to see her family and friends assembled in front of her with huge smiles plastered on their faces. She roamed her eyes to take in the whole mansion which was decorated just as she would like it.

"Happy Birthday Di." Arnav came forward and hugged her followed by Khushi who wished her, kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly like a child making Anjali chuckle at the cute girl wrapped in her arms.

"Thank you chotte. Thank you very much chutki." Anjali replied cheerfully to their wishes and detached herself from the hug.

"Happy birthday Anji" Shyam pulled her in a side hug and kissed her forehead.

"Get a room, you two." Arnav exclaimed covering his eyes with his palms.

Anjali glared at him, slapping his shoulder playfully.

Arnav pouted animatedly.

"So this was the plan, to surprise me?" Anjali asked the boys who nodded with a cheeky grin.

"I loved it, but you'll have to pay for troubling me all day." Anjali threatened.

"Punishment accepted." Arnav said "But right now It's time to party."

A couple hours into the party, The guests were enjoying the party, Khushi was standing in a corner, a glass of mocktail held between her fingers.
