Neil was working at the restaurant. Everything was very chaotic all around him because of the party, but his heart was more chaotic than anything. He felt that he lost her, the love of his life. He should have confessed his love to her before. But now, it was too late. The only fear he had was, what if she found someone else. He wasn't able to concentrate on anything else but since his passion matters everything to him, he instructed everyone to prepare everything in a suitable way. After whole day of restlessness and anxiety, he went back to the house. There was silence and darkness everywhere. Rani was going back to her house.

Rani: Neil bhaiya, tussi aa gaye. Jab Mini didi aayengi, darwaja khol dena. Mai jaa rahi haan.

Neil: Mini ab tak wapas nahi aayi?

Rani: Nahi. Mai te ohna nu vekheya hi nahi.

She left.

Tera pyaar nahi toh kuch bhi nahi,
Mai yahan thi tujhe kahan se yeh khabar mili,
Pyaas sadiyon ki pal mein bujh gayi,
Mili aas jeene ki saanson se teri
Teri aankhon se apni nazrein
hatau kaise...

He got worried for her. It was already too late. But he could sense her presence around him. He shifted his gaze to her room, and he felt that someone is there. He went upstairs to check. Their was darkness all around. As he entered inside, someone closed the door from behind. He turned to look and saw Mini.

Neil: I knew ki tum yahin par ho.

Mini: How?

Neil: Because I can sense you.

Ke doob gaya hoon, gehrayion mein,
Bacha liya tune mujhe tanhaiyon se
Har din hai naya, teri parchhaiyon se
Teri aankhon se apni nazrein
hatau kaise...

As their eyes met, he felt immediate peace and comfort. All the fears escaped as he looked into her eyes. Her soul melted with his intense gaze upon her. He didn't want to break the eye contact. She smiled at him.

Yakeen nahi hota, Jannat hai yahan
Mai dhoondh raha tha,
Surkh phoolon se meheka rasta..
Teri aankhon se..

Mini: Happy Birthday Neil. 😊

Neil looked at the clock. It was 12 o'clock. He smiled at her. He hadn't celebrated his birthday from so many years, and she knew it. He felt as if he was on cloud nine. The love of his life wishing him, definitely made his birthday a happy one.

Neil: Tumhe kaise pata?

Mini: Tumhare kamre mein se jo itne saare papers check kiye the naa, I found your personal documents as well. So..

Neil: Thank you so much.❤️

Mini: Come.. sit. Aaj tumhari sikhayi huyi recipe se, I made this cake. Here, cut it.

Neil: WHAT? You did it? Acha toh hai naa?😒

Mini: Tumhe apni teaching skills pe itna bhi bharosa nahi hai?

Neil: God.😑 Let it be.

Mini: Come on, make a wish.

Neil: You still believe in these..

Mini: I do.. I believe in magic, and don't tell me that you don't believe. I remember your "udri udri patti ud".

Neil: Really?

Mini: Yes.

Neil: Thank you Khursheed Miya, Simpy, Geeta Ji.

They all gathered around a table and he cut the cake. They enjoyed the little restaurant party.

Neil: Thank you so much for this. But ab sab apne kaam pe wapas chalo. I liked the surprise but iska matlab yeh nahi ki aaj kaam se chhutti mil jayegi.

They all went back to the work.

Neil: Ek baat batao, inhe mere birthday ke baare mein tumne hi bataya hai?

Mini: Haan par koi fayda nahi. Bechare, aaj ke din bhi inke khadus boss ka gussa shant nahi hua.

Neil: Me?😯

Mini: Yes you, Khadus and Akdu.😑
