He looked around in regret. She sat there silently playing with the remote.  He knows that if he does something to coax her, she will loose her coolness. But, it was necessary.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the flower vase near them. He gulped down some saliva and moved towards it. Her eyes followed him secretly. He took out a rose from it and came back near her. He sat on his knees making a cute puppy face and forwarded the flower to her.

Happy birthday meri jaan!

She threw the remote control on the couch and made an angry face.

Sorry yaaar!! Pata nhi meim itna bhoolta kyu hei!

He pleaded standing in the same position and tried to make her hold that flower.

Tu hamesha meri birthday hi kyu bhool jata hei Sidharth??? Baaki sabka tho yaad hei tujhe??

She sighed and got up from the couch. But, he pulled her back and tried to hug her.

Yeh sab karne se koi faida nhi hei Sidharth!! Meim tho apne birthday pe tujhse kuch expect hi na karu!! Iska mujhe abb aadat daalni chahiye!

She complained pushing him away.

Yaar!! Baby aisa mat bol! Last 2 years meim aaya dha tere paas.. But tune bhaav hi nhi di dhi. Yaad hei??

He sat near her on the couch and finally wrapped his arms around her waist.

Haa! Yaad hei, tu aaya dha kyu ki, I was away from you. I was avoiding you!! Par jab jab meim tera saat dhi, tune ek baar bhi yaad ki hei???

She made a sad pout and gave in his arms.

She was right on her side. He always forgot her birthday, whenever she was with him. But, the last two years, he had made plans from a week before, which failed miserably.

He too had no excuse for that. He had no idea why he always forgot her birthday. No! actually he always forgot his birthday too. Earlier, he used to eagerly wait for his every birthdays and from the day she was with him, he never cared about it.

Sorry baby... Mera bhi birthday meim hamesha bhool jaata hu na! Tu hei mere saat tho har din special hi hei na??

He murmured kissing on her cheeks. Even though he said those in a funny way, that was he always felt.

Tu aisa kyu hei, Sidharth??

She made a sad pout.

He chuckled seeing the cutest baby and pecked her pout.

Pata nhi baby!

......

He switched on the tutorial video of cake making on his phone and placed it on the kitchen slab.

Tujhe iska kuch bhi pata hei?

Shehnaaz taunted him sitting on the slab, facing him. He was collecting the essentials and placing them, near her. He replied with a smirk.

Lagta hei, tujhe tho bahut kuch maalum hei ki cake kaise banate hei!

She looked at him angrily and looked away instantly. She was about to get down from there, when he caged her between his hands.

Jab tak meim cake ready na karega, tab tak tu yaha se hilegi bhi nhi, samjhi gadhi?

He said with a naughty smile. She crossed her arms across her chest and looked away. He pulled her arms and placed it around his neck.

As she didn't cared to look at him, he slowly traced his lips on her neck. Her breath got stuck for a moment as she felt his wet lips on her neck. Unknowingly, she tightly wrapped her arms and ran her fingers through his hair.

She was surprised as he pushed her away slightly. She looked at him with a frown.

Aise kya dekh rahi hei?? Pehle cake tho banane de meri jaan!!

He chuckled seeing her going all red in blush.

He was fully engrossed in cake making, while she watched him with a wide smile on her face.

...

They lied on the swing chair in the garden, covering themselves with a quilt.

Tu sach meim, yeh pehli baar banayadha baby??

She raised her head from his chest and looked at him curiously.

Haa baba!!!

He rolled his eyes as he was answering for the same question for a number of times.

Kitna tasty dha!! Aaaww Sidharth!

She pulled his face down and kissed on his cheeks. He chuckled softly hearing that.

They got distracted as his phone rang. He put his finger on her lips to indicate her to be quiet and she nodded.

Hello maa, kaise ho aap??

Sidharth spoke on the phone.

Meim teek hu beta, tu kaisa hei?

Sudha smiled hearing his voice.

Ek dam khush hu maa! Aur papa??

Papa ek meeting keliye gaye hei. Tu bata, friends mila tujhe waha? Bahut busy rahta hei tu aaj kal?

He looked at Shehnaaz nervously and she frowned at him.

Wo.. Aisa kuch nhi maa!! Bass..wo.. dhoda business ke kaam dhe aur.. Aur.. Aisa koi khaas dost nhi mila maa.

He fumbled on his words.

Mallika ne boli ki tujhe ek naya friend mila hei?

Sidharth jumped on the chair and sat straight instantly. He unknowingly elbowed Shehnaaz in that rush.

Aaah! Sidharth!

Shehnaaz winced holding her stomach, but he instantly put his hand over her mouth and pleaded to be quiet.

Kya hua beta? Kon hei waha??

Wo.... Wo maa, kuch nhi.. Wo kuch pata nhi.. Shayad kitchen se hoga..

He was so tensed. Shehnaaz chuckled seeing the restless baby.

Haa, tho batavo kon hei wo, jo tera naya friend hei?

Sudha wasn't ready to leave the topic.

Maa!! Koi khaas dost nhi hei!

Acha!! Mallika keh rahi dhi ki tere suggestion ke mutabik usne paying guest rekhne ki sochi, upar se, jo mila wo bhi mumbai se!!! Aur iss week tune uski care taker bhi bana hua hei!!!
When we used to ask you to help Nayan, you always shown attitude and now you are willingly helping a girl and taking care of her! Kya hei Sidharth?

Hearing the giggle of his mother from the other end, his heart beat became normal. She wasn't mad at him. He took a long breath and spoke.

Maa, meim batana chahta dha, lekin... Sorry ma!

Shehnaaz took his hand in her and caressed it, seeing the emotional Sidharth.

Shehnaaz hi hei na??

The soft voice of Sudha made him startled. Sudha sensed the silence and spoke.

Tell me beta, Shehnaaz hi hei na? I don't want to get confused like last time.

Sidharth chuckled pulling Shehnaaz close to him.

Haa ma! Shehnaaz hi hei! Lekin, aapko kaise pata dha ki wo hi hei?

Shehnaaz blushed hearing it and looked at him lovingly.

Itni saal meim tu sirf ek hi ladki ki naam li hei meri saamne! Har din school se aake sirf Shehnaaz ki baat hoti dhi, tera muh se!

Sidharth laughed loudly, crushing Shehnaaz to his chest.

Wo hei tere saat?

Haa ma.

Tho do phone usse.

Sudha ordered cutely.

The chatter box went silent all of a sudden. She wasn't prepared for this encounter soon. Shehnaaz looked at him nervously and he blinked in assurance.

Hello aunty, how are you?

Shehnaaz spoke politely.

Happy birthday Sana.

Shehnaaz grinned widely hearing it and eyed at Sidharth.

Dekha! Aapko bhi yaad hei, meri birthday! Sirf isko hi nhi hei! Thank you aunty!

Shehnaaz punched on his hand and he made a painful face.

Maa!! Yeh maar rahi hei mujhe!!

Shehnaaz glared at him immediately.

Sudha giggled hearing their cute fight.

How could you forget that bata! That's bad. You should make up to it!

Sidharth rolled his eyes.

Aap abhi se uski side hogaye! Not fare ma!

While Shehnaaz hit on his cheeks cutely. He caught her wrist and locked her in his arms.

Sudha grinned happily.

Acha abb meim rakh ti hu, aaj Rima ke waha ek party hei.

She ended the call soon and Sidharth diverted all his attention to Shehnaaz. She was ready to get out of his hold, but she failed as he gripped on her more strongly.

Ammaaa!! Sorry Sidharth!! Chod de mujhe!!

She faked crying cutely and he chuckled seeing her like that. He slightly loosened his grip and she ran out instantly.

Abbey moti ruk!

He ran behind her into the house.
