Chapter 28: chapter 28

Aman - Hehe! Hey, don’t pull my leg again. Sanya - Hehe! Vicky - I got an idea. Tomorrow, I will book a good restaurant and there we will celebrate Neha’s birthday, to make up our mistake.Gagan - Brilliant idea!Neha became very happy to listen to that, but at the same time, she didn’t want him to spend so much money on her, “No, don’t spend that much money on me! I can also become happy with a small party!”Azeez - Don’t behave like Aman. He is very miser! Hehe! Didn’t you hear him? He doesn’t even want to have a baby after marriage because he wants to save money. Be like us!Neha said seriously, “You can’t judge him. That’s his life. And it’s his choice.” Azeez - Hey, don’t take it seriously. I was just kidding. Aman - Neha, don’t worry, she was just kidding. I also took her in a fun way. Hehe! And yeah, they want from their heart to celebrate your birthday in a resort. You should accept their offer. Neha smiled and said, 'Okay, if you say, I am in your plan.‘All said, “Yay! Tomorrow, we will have fun!”Vicky - Okay, Aman. Now, please allow us to go. Because we have to make special preparations for tomorrow’s party and we also have to buy special gifts. Aman, you also buy a good gift for Neha. I smiled and said, “Sure, I will definitely buy the best gift for her.”Sanya teased me, “Oh, ho!”Aman - Hehe. Azeez - Okay, now, we are leaving, Aman. I will inform all of you where to come tomorrow. Aman - Okay. Fine. They left the house. I closed the door and said to myself, “Uff… After a long time, I am at my real home and that is solitude. I don’t feel at home even being at my home when I am not alone.”The Next DayAll of us reached a luxurious restaurant. Obviously, Vicky and Azeez took us there in their car. When we entered the restaurant, there were no other people. And the hall was lit with very attractive lights. Chandelier lights were giving us a typical Bollywood movie look. Neha exclaimed in happiness, “Wow! This place is really very beautiful. But why are there no other people?”Azeez said proudly, “Because Vicky has booked a full hall for us!”Neha - Oh, God! What was the need of spending so much money? Vicky - Please don’t say that. We are friends and we can do anything for each other’s happiness. Now, don’t think much and please be seated. We took one table and sat on the chairs around it. Right above our heads, a beautiful chandelier was shedding a very soothing and soft light on us. Gagan - This place is really awesome! Vicky smiled and said, “One more surprise is waiting for you.”Sanya - What more! Don’t give us too many surprises, otherwise, we will go mad! Hehe!One waiter reached there with a very beautiful cake. Obviously, Neha’s name was written on it. And he also brought candles. We lit the candles with our hands and then we followed the birthday rules. Hehe! Neha blew off the candles. We all clapped and said, “Happy birthday to you.”. I cut the cake and put a small piece of cake into her mouth. And then she gave a small piece of cake to everyone. Then we distributed the cake among us and started enjoying it. Soon a man came wearing a blazer coat and a black pants and started playing guitar. Vicky said, “He is playing very lovely.”Gagan - Yeah, he is amazing too. But who is he? Azeez - Hehe. We hired him. Gagan - Oh, great. After eating different kinds of items, when our tummies became full and could not accommodate anything more, the time had come to give gifts to Neha. Azeez said to the waiter, “Please bring the gift.”The waiter - Okay, mam. The waiter brought the gift. Azeez and Vicky had done their homework. They had already brought and kept the gift in the restaurant itself. Azeez ordered the waiter to bring other gifts from the car also that were brought by us.Azeez - From me and Vicky, full set of juicer, mixer, grinder and food processor. Vicky and Azeez handed it over to Neha. We all clapped. Gagan picked up his gift and gave to Neha, “Chocolates and expensive perfumes from me.” We all clapped. Sanya picked up her gift and said, “Jeans and tops of your size. I know your size. Hehe!” We all clapped. Now, it was my time to give her a gift. But there was nothing left around us. All pairs of eyes were fixed on me. I said, “Don’t you think this birthday party is going a bit strange?”Sanya - Strange? What happened? Aman - I think in normal birthday parties, gifts are given before eating the cake. Sanya - No, it’s nothing like that. Aman - Okay. Sorry, I felt so. But I guess, nobody tells in the party itself that one is giving which gift to the birthday girl. Azeez - It’s not necessary. There are no hard and fast rules. Gagan - Aman, what are you talking about? Where did this conversation come from? You are spoiling our mood. Aman - Oh, I am sorry. Neha said cordially, “Aman, if you haven’t brought any gift then it’s okay. You can give me your gift on some other day. It’s fine.”Aman - No, no. It’s not like that. I have brought a gift for you. Neha - But where is the gift? Aman - I think the waiter forgot to pick it up from the car. Wait, let me bring the gift from the car. Vicky - Don’t worry, bro. I will send a waiter to bring the gift. Aman - No, I want to bring the gift with my own hands. Vicky - Okay, as you like. I took the car’s key from Vicky and went to the car and picked up my gift. When I entered the hall with the gift in my hand, all were thunderstruck! In my hand, there was a flower pot!(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
