"Bhagwan jhuth na bulwaye Navya, uth jaa beta. Kaalej ke liye late ho raha hai."

Navya jerked up from her sleep listening to the voice she was least expecting to listen live. "Ye.. ye kya? Did I just hear Chachiji waking me up?"

She slapped her forehead and again kept her head on her pillow with a thud. "Yeh un dino ki baat hai dekh dekh kar tera dimaag kharab ho gaya hai Navya. Ab tujhe Chachiji ki awaazein bhi sunai dene lag gayi hain." With this, she again covered her face with her duvet.

But, it all went in vain, as her duvet was snatched by a lady. Navya frustratingly sat on her bed and rubbing her eyes, annoyingly said, "Kya Mumma, aaj to birthday hai mera. Aaj to kam se kam pyaar se uthate."

"Bhagwan juth na bulwaye, tera janamdin hai isliye to khaas yahan aai hoon. Aur tu hai ki sote hi ja rahi hai. Chal jaldi se taiyaar hoja, main tere liye khaas tinde ki sabzi bana rahi hoon." The lady said, making Navya turn her gaze towards here with widened eyes.

"Ch.. chachiji? Chachiji yahan kaise ho sakti hain?" Navya said confusingly and rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to wake herself up from her dreamy sleep.

Chachiji chuckled softly and lovingly removed her hands from her eyes. "Lo batao, yahan main Rekha ki tarah taiyaar hokar aai hu ki humari Navya ka janamdin manayenge, aur ye to yahan aankhein band kar ke baith gayi hai."

Navya looked at her disbelievingly, her eyes getting wider as realisation started dawning upon her.
Chachiji was here, right infront of her, for real!

"Aa.. aap sach mein yahan hain? Ye kaise ho sakta hai? Aap toh.. ye.. ye sab kya ho raha hai?" Navya said confusingly, not understanding anything, while Chachiji giggled looking at her.

If this was not enough, she suddenly heard another voice nearing her, "Sirf tumhari Chachiji nahi, aaj tumhara birthday special banane main bhi yahan aai hu." And with that, Navya's gaze shifted towards the door of her room, and her brain went dead, as standing infront of her, was her ever so favourite Bollywood actress, Nushrat Bharucha.

Before Navya could faint with shock, both Nushrat and Chachiji hugged her tightly, and wished her a very happy birthday with all their heart and enthusiasm. And in the next second, she had in her hand, the first gift of her birthday, a permission letter to visit the set of her yet another favourite show- Kaatelal & Sons.

"What is happening with me? Ye ho kya raha hai aaj? Chachiji? Nushrat? Kaatelal & Sons? Ye sab to mere favourite... How's this possible? Aap.. aap sach mein hain yahan?" Navya couldn't believe her eyes and kept on looking at Nushrat and Chachiji with the permission letter in her hand and was about to say something again when another voice interrupted her.

"Ofcourse this is possible our Rajasthani Taiji. All of it is reality and all of it is to make your birthday super special for you. And we hope you like this small surprise from FamiliaDeYUDKBH ." And there entered our Shashi, one of our admins, Raksha (RRao_13), with full zeal. Hugging her tightly, she showered her share of wishes on her.
"Happiest Birthday Navya! I hope that you enjoy your day. May God fulfill all your wishes. Aur ye sab sach hai madam, vishwas karlo. Today your day will be full of surprises and blasts, aur shuruwaat ho chuki hai tumhari favourite Chachiji aur Nushrat se."

Chachiji lovingly caressed her hair and said, "Bhagwan jhuth na bulwaye Navya, ja jake jaldi se taiyaar hoja. Aaj nashte mein tere liye mere haatho ke khaas tinde banaye hain. Vo kya kehte ho tum log, mere haath ki sp.. spe.. spec.."

"Speciality Chachiji. Aaj Chachiji ne apne hath ki speciality, tinde ki sabzi banai hai. Now go and get ready for your college, and for your other surprises too." Nushrat said, as all of them pushed Navya inside the washroom and she kept her hand on her thudding heart, still reeling from the effect of her first surprise.

"Arey andar bhej diya, kapde to lai nahi main." Navya said to herself and got out of the washroom to take her clothes when she found a box kept on her bed. Reaching near, she got ecstatic to read the note pasted over the box. It was from her favourite dialogue, from her favourite movie Mohabbatein, "Mohabbat bhi zindagi ki tarah hoti hai, har mod aasaan nahi hota, har mod par khushi nahi hoti. Par jab hum zindagi ka saath nahi chhodte, phir mohabbat ka saath kyun chhodein? Aur aisi hi kuch mohabbat nibhana chahte hai hum apne sab parivaar walo ke sath. And you are one of the sweetest parts of this family. Here's your dress for the day. Get ready and come fast, we are waiting for you downstairs.

~ Love, FamiliaDeYUDKBH"

Navya's happiness knew no bounds. She excitedly opened the box to see a beautiful black and white dress designed for her. She hurriedly picked up the dress and went to freshen up.

As soon as she came out, she was received by a wish note pasted on her mirror, "Happy Birthday Navya! God Bless you with abundant happiness and joy. May all your wishes and dreams come true. May your day be filled with surprises and blessings from your loved ones.
Love, AngelineDsouza_7 ✨❤"

Navya smiled looking at it and folding it carefully, smilingly kept it in a wooden box lying on her dressing table. She excitedly went towards her door to move out when her gaze fell on yet another note pasted on the door of her room which said, "Have a wonderful sweet 16th birthday Navya❤😘 I wish you happiness and all the sweet things of life😇 Wishing a very happy sweet sixteen to the young lady who is beautiful both inside and outside😍. Enjoy your day to the fullest! Party hard🎉 and have a blast! 🎉💕 Stay Sweet❤😘
Love, Miss_Dona"

She shook her head lovingly and again went towards her dressing table to pick up the wooden box, for she could guess that it would be required throughout the day. She kept the note in her box, kept it in her bag and excitedly moved out.

Just as she reached the dining table for her breakfast, she was greeted by someone who closed her eyes from behind and the next moment, she heard a wonderful voice singing the most beautiful lines of her favourite song, "Jaanu mein sab kuch, jo tu chupaye.. Mere alava sabko bataye.. Pyaar se haq mujhpe jo jataye.. Na jaane kyu itna tu sataye!"

As soon as the line ended, she turned around, only to find Nandini_001 standing behind her, who then hugged her tightly and excitedly poured her wishes, "Happy birthday Navya! May you achieve your every goal and get everything you desire. We haven't talked that much, but I can very well conclude that you're truly a nice person. With much love, I wish you the happiest birthday! May god bless you with a long life filled with success and delight. Enjoy your wonderful day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊"

With tears of happiness in her eyes, Navya too hugged her back, and it was then that bhsh22 made her entry along with Chachiji and Nushrat with Navya's favourite delicacies and Chachiji's special tinde ki sabzi. She came forward and with a motherly caress on her hair, lovingly showered her wishes on Navya, "Wishing you a very happy birthday🎉🎂 May all your wishes come true and god bless you with lots of happiness. Wishing you the best of everything."

And then, after a heartiest breakfast together, Nandini and Raksha together take her towards their car, where she meets Yudkbh_7617 who pours in another set of wishes, "Happy 16th Birthday Navya!🎂 Wishing you lots of love and best wishes for the year ahead.❤️❤️ May you have lots of yummy cakes and gifts on this awesome day. Hope we get to know each other better in the journey as part of this family."

With another round of hugs, all four of them together headed towards their college- VJN College of Commerce & Arts, where other surprises awaited her. Just as they reached the gates of VJN, Navya was blindfolded by a soft pair of hands and another wish fell into her ears by illustriouskeli431, "Happy birthday Navya. You are a great friend of mine and I hope our friendship grows stronger with each step."

And with this, she was taken further towards the ground of VJN College. Just as they reached there, the ground, Pratyusha (Psr1403), our Sumeet, the second admin came forward to remove the blindfold from her eyes and ecstatically wished her, "Wishing you a very happy b'day Navya. May you achieve whatever you aim for."

Before Navya could reply and get over the range of wishes, what came before her eyes made her mind go completely blank. Infront of her eyes in the ground she could see her favourite actors Randeep Rai and Ayushman Khurana playing her favourite game badminton.

She forgot how to breathe when both of them came forward to wish her in their ever so mesmerizing voices and then was the time for the final blast when both of them together took her towards her class, where on the way she met yet another friend of hers, naivedya_2004 with yet another wish, "Happiest birthday Navya. Wish you all the happiness in the world. Stay smiling and joyful always. Enjoy Your Day!♥️♥️"

Just as they reached the door of the classroom, mahi2325 came running towards her with a wishcard in her hand.

And another card added to her collection in the wooden box kept in her bag. The next moment, Randeep and Ayushman pushed open the door, and the next sight made her quicken her heart beats as there sat Virat Kohli, her favourite sportsperson, but this time, shuffling the UNO cards in his hands, which was her very own favourite indoor game. And just behind him stood aakritisinghh02  with a placard in her hand which said, "Happy birthday, Navya! Let this special day bring you years upon years of happiness, health, and prosperity. 🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁"

Before a tear drop could topple down her cheeks, her teacher __wandering__ came from behind and wiping the tears off her eyes, lovingly said, "It seems such a great day to say, we feel so lucky that you came our way! Happy Birthday to you! Make it grand!"

With that, everybody gathered around Virat when he came forward to hand her over a bat signed by him exclusively for her.

She couldn't believe her eyes as all others hooted loudly at the scene. And the very next moment, everyone went silent as the strictest professor of their college, Khamoshdil made her appearance. Everybody looked at each other, and then around the walls where the whole classroom was decorated with balloons and frills. Silence was spread all around with traces of fear when the teacher laughed out loud and came forward to wish Navya, "Luck is yours,wish is mine, may your future always shine. Happy Birthday dear Navya. You are now sweet 16. Enjoy your day. Do whatever you want. Eat lot's of chocolates and cakes and have a blast."😉

Looking at the wonderful aura set all around, vansika2233 finally came forward to wish Navya, "A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU NAVYA!♥️ May all your wishes come true. God bless you aur jug jug jiyooo! And may you meet AshDeep soon."

The moment these words left her mouth, a voice grabbed their attention, "Kisi ne mujhe yaad kiya kya?" Turning around, Navya witnessed the most magnificent sight, as there entered Ashi Singh in the classroom with Navya's birthday cake.

She rubbed her eyes yet again, not able to digest the fact that all her favourites had come together to celebrate her special day by making it a lot more special. Amongst all the hoots and claps, everyone got together in the centre, around the table as Ashi kept the cake and made Navya stand in the centre.

She was about to cut her cake, when a sound stopped them. With a gift wrapped item in her one hand and a bluetooth speaker in the other, pahul_gpk entered the classroom with the song "Hum bhi agar bache hote, hum bhi agar bache hote, naam humara hota Gablu Bablu, khane ko milte ladoo. Aur duniya kehti Happy Birthday to you!" being played on the speaker, bringing in a small touch of YUDKBH into the birthday celebration. As she entered, she gave Navya a tight hug and she got another wish card for her wooden box.

Together they all cut the cake and wishes started pouring in once again as everybody together sang, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Navya, happy birthday to you."

As everybody clapped and laughed and got their pictures clicked, both the admins, our Shashi and Sumeet, our Raksha (RRao_13) and Pratyusha (Psr1403) came forward with the last surprise of the day for Navya. Together with Ashi, Randeep, Ayushman and Virat, both Shashi and Sumeet presented a frame to Navya.

The moment Navya saw it, her eyes turned misty, when both the admins said, "Both your books have got the best wishes from your favourite author Elisabetta Dami and now we are looking forward to see you not just as a successful UPSC clearer but also as a writer as successful as Elisabetta Dami, your favourite author. With immense love in our hearts, all of us from FamiliaDeYUDKBH  wish you a very happy birthday Navya. May we celebrate many more such birthdays together and we hope you enjoyed this small surprise from our side. Once again, a very happy birthday, and enjoy your day to the fullest."
