"Peek- a - boo", Sameer hid behind the door.
Varsha beamed at Sameer giving him a beautiful smile. She wore s blue dress with blue headband. her eyes were lined with kohl and walked with wobbled feets towards him.Sameer picked her up before she fell. He couldn't believe that his baby was turning 1 year old. Neerja pulled out the baked cake outside the oven. Her 2 months pregnancy journey wasn't as hard as that of first one. She stayed indoor isolating herself from outside world. But still Sameer, Varsha and Neerja would go for walks and shopping at weekends. But they were trying their level best not to jump before others especially those people who know them.
"Wished, if I could had a such kinda birthday affair", Sameer said. Neerja looked at him puzzled. " I never had a birthday event in my life", Sameer smiled. "Even if Peddamma and peddanna would compel me too, I didn't join them", Sameer collected things from her hands.
Neerja understood that Sameer always had a hide out life. He never revealed before anyone. A reserved. But still after their wedding and Varsha's birth he changed alot. He started opening up before her and mingling with others was somewhat possible for him. Sameer kept the baked cake on the table and cleared rest of the things from there. Varsha was slowly walking and was pulling her mother's top to pick her up. Neerja picked her up and smothered her with kisses.Varsha showed her the most amazing smile to her mom.
Neerja's belly isn't showing much, but the feel of another life growing up in her womb made her overwhelmed with emotions. Sameer adjusted Varsha's bow and arranged the table to keep the cake properly. Once every things have been kept properly Sameer lit up the candles and called the mother daughter duo.
"Happy birthday to you.... Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you Chinnu... Happy birthday to you.."Sameer and Neerja sang with their hearts out. Varsha stared at them with her mouth wide open as she couldn't decipher what was happening. Yet, seeing the happiness on her parents face she gave them a wide grin and kissed her mother's nose. Sameer hold a small knife with Varsha's hand and guide her to cut the cake. Once the cake cutting was over,Sameer cleaned the table and wastes were dumped in the bin. Neerja took Varsha to change her clothes. Sameer settled on the couch and checked the photos he had taken for the birthday.
