[Three months later]

As it is well known, 2020 April began with quarantine due to the Covid-19 situation. Jiya made a birthday group in May for Naisha's birthday which was in July. She thought it would be nice to bring back the group together for a birthday. Especially for Naisha, since she had worked so hard for everyone else's birthday, she deserved a good one. Jack and Alisha somehow managed to work together for her birthday. He planned a really cute decor and a fun activity for the birthday. It was a kind of a social media treasure hunt. They had made an Instagram account with all her pictures and everyone's wishes for her. And the password letters were distributed to each of her friends.

The theme of the birthday decor was FRIENDS, her favorite TV show. Everyone worked together to make her day a success. Alisha chose a really amazing Friends themed cake, Jiya helped with the letter for the treasure hunt and made the unique password with letters from each of Naisha's friend's names (Without Gary’s name to make it less awkward), and Jack got the cake ordered and the pictures printed. Money was contributed and the items required for the decor were purchased.

On the day of the birthday, the group arrived at her place while Naisha was out for some work. Leo couldn't make it as he was unwell. Meanwhile, Ash who still wasn't over Selene and was going through his own problems couldn't make it. The rest of them decorated her place and kept the cake ready. Naisha was elated to see the beautiful decor and the lovely cake. She cut her cake and opened the treasure hunt letter.

Once she saw the treasure hunt letter and realized that to get the pass, she would have to be doing dares, she got a little uneasy but everyone else seemed to have a great laugh and were excited to see her perform the dares. As she went on guessing the names, she called the person, got her dare, completed it, and then she would get the letter of the password.

It was a little saddening that from these past few years, this would be the first birthday without Gary. But all in all, she had a great time and found this treasure hunt absolutely creative and fun. Seeing her do some of the hilarious dares made it a fun time for the group too. By the end of it, they all took group pictures, posted some videos of her dares, said their goodbyes, and headed home. Their story never seems to come to an end. There’s always going to be ups and downs in friendships just like in life but when push comes to shove, true friends will always have your back. It’s probably why Friendships never really have a Final Goodbye.
