Jiya's POV

5 seconds to go!! N he is here. As soon as I see him I throw myself upon him and within seconds I am hugging him and shouting "Happy birthday Duffer,  you're getting older. Aab Tere mai Woh baat nii rahi :p" "You wish" he said. "You are just jealous of my gorgeous face" I couldn't stop smiling and kissed his cheeks. God I am so excited. It's his big day. Also this is our last birthday together before we get admission in some foreign college and will be some 1000km apart. The thought in itself is depressing. I can't imagine my life without him. I know him for some 24 years now and every single day we have seen each other, tolerated each other's shits and given zero fucks to the world. I don't remember a single day when I  have not called him to wake him up and literally dragged him out of his house for classes. Our late night movie dates at either of our houses. Ordering pizza with diet Coke and he scaring the shit out of me when watching some horror film. From our first family trip to our school farewell party when practically every batch mate of ours was crying and we were clueless why because school for us was duffer and khanna and that was going to continue in college. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't realize when I started crying and he knows this because I got his shirt wet with my tears.
"Kya yr khanna puri shirt gilli kar di, you girls are so emotional. " I slapped him lightly on his right cheek and after getting done away with my tears said" Chal cake cutting time". And he followed me like an obedient kid. This was not his usual self. And I realized I ruined it with all the crying. He definitely understood that and now it's in his mind. Silly me. How can I ruin his special day. So I had to do something to make up for it.
"Chal blow the candles but before that make a wish". He closed his eyes said a mental prayer and then slowly opened his eyes. For just a second in front of those candles his face looked do perfect. He looked towards him gave me a little smile and blew the candles. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Duffer, happy birthday to you"  He made me eat a little bite and I offered the other half to him. But what caught my attention was his eyes. They were not happy. I know why. He was missing his family. He never says but I always feel that in his eyes.
He is like this only. He won't ever show his problems his emotions Lekin sabko khush dekhna chahta h. I hope he gets everything he deserves.

Jai POV

As soon ad I reached the terrace, she threw herself on me literally crushing me in her hug. But I felt so relaxed. Like this is all I want. I was lost in the moment when I realize she is crying probably because all this is going to be over soon. "Aadat hai hum dono ko ek dusare ki,  don't know kase jaegi, but right now is senti ladki ko rokna padega" "kya yr khanna puri shirt gilli kar di, you gotta are so emotional" and it worked. She smiled. She asked me to cut the cake and I started following her. When she asked me to make a wish thou I don't believe in all this I wished "Give every happiness khanna craves for because today whatever I am as a person is all because of her. I own her all this." After few minutes I looked at that 3/4 left cake. "Cake toh bada h but I don't have anyone other then her to share it with." I was almost going in my thoughts when slowly she slipped her hand in mine and pulled me towards our favorite spot.
(you can check the arrangement in the media section).
I see a big box of pizza, diet cokes, laptop lying their and she asks "So Birthday boy ko kya dekhna hai Aaj raat" and I say "Tu choose kar le". "okay then don't think ki it's your birthday toh I am giving you any special privilege" I could not stop myself from smiling. "Yeh Jawaani hai deewani"  she almost shouted. "Aab Aayega yahn ya thand mai freeze hone ka irada h"  and then it was us, the film and offcourse pizza and I didn't realize when we drifted off to sleep.

DONE WITH FIRST CHAPTER. IT WAS ALL ABOUT JAI'S BIRTHDAY. I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
