Friendship Has No Goodbye

Chapter 7

February however did not start well for Jack. Jenny had just broken up with him because her mother found out and was against the relationship. Jack wasn't too sad about it though because there hadn't been enough time to be totally invested in the relationship. His mind was already busy planning Ash’s birthday. 9th Feb began with the usual midnight cake. The cake was cutely decorated with group pictures on sticks inserted into the cake. Alisha and Jack took their well-deserved revenge for their birthdays with eggs and the usual stuff.

The next day, they planned to go for a movie, Padman. Before the movie, they got some fresh air at Carter Road. While heading to Gatie Galaxy (the cinema) which is also in Bandra. Jack and Alisha fought just as they got to the cinema and Jack left the group in anger to go home. Gary convinced (more like threatened) him to come back. So he took a roundabout and came back. He had wasted his twenty bucks just to take a U-turn in a rick (Imagine the look of confusion on the rick driver’s face).

As they watched the movie they hogged on a lot of food as they hadn't eaten anything since morning. Alisha and Jack were sitting on opposite corners of the row. After eating, both of them had calmed down, and Alisha made Naisha exchange seats with her so she could sit with him. Such cute moments used to make their bond even more special. The movie had not yet finished halfway and they had already put aside their differences.

After the movie, they reached Andheri station and Ash went ahead alone to go freshen up for his treat later at Pizza hut. The rest of the group decided to shop for gifts for him. Gary and Jack went to an underwear shop to get him underwear as a gag gift. Since Ash wasn't close to Gary and Naisha, he hadn't invited them for dinner so they headed home. Jack felt kind of sad about that because he knew Gary was trying to dwell in the group well. While heading to Pizza Hut in JB Nagar, Alisha, Messi, and Jack got him a mobile cover as his actual gift. Ash’s sister Carol had gotten him a cake. After having a good time enjoying the pizza and the company, Ash started receiving his gifts.

He was really happy with the mobile cover but he had his doubts about the second gift because he didn't trust the guys so he didn't feel like opening it. But since he was pressured to do so, he had to open it and he felt so damn embarrassed seeing the underwear because the whole group was staring at him and as soon as he opened the gift, they all started roaring with laughter. Even one for the staff members was laughing. And then it was finally time to cut the cake. The staff played the happy birthday song while the group started singing along as he cut the cake. They all headed home after having such a great time. Ash had a really memorable birthday and everyone had fun moments to remember.
