Now what was Mahek doing all the time? As soon as everyone had departed, she gave the responsibility to the head choc who was the most capable and smart choc and took a little rest. Then she got back to work. She watched over them and when at last our friends departed from their adventures to reach Chosia/Asia, she got her next plan ready and went to welcome everyone.
Then both the groups arrived at the same time at the dawn of the 3rd day. They were surprised to see her waiting them. She welcomed them, “Welcome everyone!!! I know you have some questions but most of them are already answered by our animal friends Cassandra the whale, Cloe the dolphin, the head crocodile and the serpent. The only question left now is that you all spent 3 days here and your parents must be worried but no. Because this is another dimension and the time here is slow. A whole week here is equal to 1 hour there. Now let’s not waste time and get the huge birthday bash started. She took them to a castle and just like the factory door it was not edible. {I feel sorry for Ananya because as an ultimate chocolate lover, she would have enjoyed eating that castle. But I’m glad too because eating too much of chocolate can spoil our teeth. So let’s continue.} They went straight to their rooms and slept for hours because they all were exhausted. In the meantime, Mahek decorated the castle with balloons, streamers, etc. and it was looking perfect for a birthday bash. Then Mahek too went and took a small nap. Then after 5 hours everyone woke up and gathered in the ballroom. Mahek clapped her hands twice and there came 6 chocs carrying a huge chocolate cake. Anushka would have loved to eat a strawberry, vanilla, mango, pineapple, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, cranberry, cherry or whatever flavoured cake except chocolate.  But she had to eat chocolate fruits so she didn’t mind eating a chocolate cake. They sang Happy Birthday and as usual Mahek had a newly made Birthday Song and started singing-
I wanna wish a very happy birthday,
To the one who makes us laugh and makes our day.
I wanna say a Happy Birthday,
I wanna say a Happy Birthday,
I wanna say a Happy Birthday to you
From the bottom of my heart.
Bon Anniversaire, Bon Anniversaire,
May God fulfil all of your desires.
I wanna say a Happy Birthday,
I wanna say a Happy Birthday,
I wanna say a Happy Birthday to you
From the bottom of my heart.
Bon Anniversaire!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
They all enjoyed the song. {Bon Anniversaire is the French word for Happy Birthday.} They all celebrated the birthday. They spent the 4 more days there, that is, a week in the factory and an hour in the normal world.
