Short Story: A Special Day? Pg: 1,2,4,6 (Complete)

Hi Everyone! I just got this idea, and I decided to write it down. This is a very short two part story. I'm uploading the first part now, and the second part maybe Monday. Please do read and comment!


Birthday Surprise!

Part One:

Prem woke up that morning to see his wife sitting in front of the mirror, getting ready for her day. He stumbled out of bed and made his way towards her, wrapping his hands around her waist and hugging her from the back.

"Prem. What are you doing?" she questioned, shrugging his hands away and continuing to put on her earrings.

"Romancing with my wife on this special day" he replied cheekily, as he took the tiny box with sindoor and filled his wife's maang.

"Special day? What special day?" she asked, a confused and puzzled look on her face. "Today's just a Sunday, and for your information Mr. Prem Juneja, Sundays happen every week. There's nothing that special about them. Anyways, hurry up and get ready, I have so much work to do today. Ma is not feeling well and you know na, ki Maya and Meher are pregnant so they can't even work now."

Heer got up, pushing her husband away from her, and went towards her children's room, where her two angels, Chahat and Kush were sleeping peacefully in their beds.

Meanwhile, back in their room, Prem just stood, confused. "Did my wife just forget my birthday? She thought that today was just a Sunday? Is she out of her mind? Maybe she'll remember when everyone else wishes me" he thought to himself as he made his way into the bathroom to get ready.

Thirty minutes later, Prem came downstairs only to find everyone sitting at the dining table already, each busy in their own breakfast. Preet and Meher were sitting at the end, next to each other, with Preet fussing over his wife's sandwich while Meher just smiled at him, shaking her head at her husband's cautiousness. Maya and Harman were seated across from them, where Harman was trying to convince Maya to eat a paratha, but Maya was refusing, telling him that the orange juice and omlette were more than enough for her and her baby. His parents, Lalit and Gayatri were eating their breakfast, joking with Kulraj di's two kids, while Kulraj di herself was sitting next to Kiran, filling him on all the gossip he missed when he was away on a business trip.

Finally, he laid his eyes towards the head of the table where the two apples of his eyes were sitting, Kush and Chahat, two adorable two year olds, who were fighting with each other over who gets the next paratha.

"Good morning everyone!" exclaimed Prem, as he awaited everyone wishing him on his birthday. However, to his shock, everyone merely replied "Good morning Prem [bhaiya/jiju/beta/papa]." Not even one person sitting at that entire table acknowledged his birthday and he was frustrated.

He just sat down at the table, disappointed, and not noticing the smirks everyone else gave each other. Once Heer came and sat down, he addressed the entire table. "So everyone, because today's such a special day, let's all go out, have a picnic and spend some time together."

Lalit responded first, "Ha. Sunday is such a special day na, only once a week. But sorry beta, your Ma is not feeling well, and I don't want her going out in this state, so I'll stay at home. You kids enjoy."

Before Prem could respond though, Preet stepped in, "Sorry PB. Aaj nahi. Some other time, kyun? Aaj Meher ko ek doctor's appointment hain to hum dono ko waha jana padega," he said, putting an arm around Meher's shoulder.

Harman gave his excuse next, "Sorry Prem bhaiya. Maya and I decided to go visit some of our college friends. It's been so long since we've seen them all."

Kulraj answered next, "Prem. Kiran came back just last night. He's really tired, so I'm sure he wants to stay at home and rest, and spend time with the kids. It's been so long, na?"

Prem sighed, realizing that everyone forgot his birthday, and finally turned to Heer, "So Madam. What's your excuse for not spending time with me?"

Heer gave him an apologetic look as she said, "Who will take care of the house when everyone else is so busy? I have so much to do today. Sorry Prem, maybe some other time."

Prem was exhausted at hearing all these excuses and got up from the table, picking up his two children while saying "At least I know there will be two people who will have time for me. Right?" Planting a kiss on both his kids' foreheads, he began to walk towards the living room when Heer stopped him. "Woh Prem, aaj main to in dono ko Veera aur Nihaal ke ghar mein drop kardungi. Veera was saying how long it's been since the two have played with Aditya." Aditya was Veera and Nihaal's three year old son, and the apple of their eyes.

By then, Prem was angry, angry at everyone for having forgotten his birthday, and more angry at Heer for not letting him spend time with his own kids. He silently went and gave the kids back to Heer, went upstairs to grab his laptop and began to leave the house.

"Prem beta, where are you going?" called out Gayatri, as she saw her son leaving. "You didn't even have breakfast yet."

"Han ma. I just remembered I have this important client meeting to prepare for. I won't be home till about 7 o'clock" he responded, not even bothering to turn back to say bye to anyone.

Once the family had heard his car leave, everyone burst out laughing.

6 PM

Prem was sitting in his cabin, his laptop and files surrounding him, spread out all over his desk but he wasn't looking at any of them. Rather, he was staring into space, thinking about how to avoid going home and avoid seeing his own family forget his birthday. He sat there, watching the wall clock tick away, waiting for someone, anyone to wish him on his special day. Even when he saw Nihaal earlier that day, his best friend, he didn't wish him. How could everyone forget today? Humph. I'm not going to talk to them.

However, suddenly, his cell phone rang and Prem glanced over to check who it was. Seeing that it was Heer, he picked up the phone, a grumpy look on his face. "Yeah Heer. What do you want?" he questioned, rather than giving one of his romantic phone call speeches.

All he heard though was Heer sobbing into the phone, "Prem..Prem Chahat fell down and I'm so worried. Oh Prem. What if something happens to her?"

At that point, Prem forgot all about his birthday and thought only of Heer. She was crying for such a little thing? "Heer. She just fell. She's a kid and such things happen. Why are you crying?"

"Prem!" she continued crying into the phone. Suddenly though, he heard a loud thud and he panicked. The next voice he heard was that of Preet, screaming "Bhabhi has fainted. Go call the doctor!"

Hearing this, Prem quickly shut off his phone, ran out of the cabin towards his car. "Oh no! Heer. Why do you stress yourself over such little matters?" he thought to himself as he got into his car. However, it would take him over thirty minutes to even reach home.

****
Thirty Minutes Later….

Prem stopped his car outside of the house only to see that most of the house was were dimly lit. He rushed towards the door, wondering if Heer's health had taken a turn for the worse. The closer he got to opening the door, the quicker his heart beat, as if it knew that something was going to happen.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday!" screamed everyone in his family, starting from Lalit and Gayatri to his little children, Chaht and Kush as they ran towards him. He was shocked, and most definitely surprised as he stared at everyone with an awestricken face. As Heer came towards him behind their kids, he suddenly remember why he had been so frantic to get home. "Heer. Are you ok? and how about Chahat? Is she fine?" he questioned, concern lining his voice as he spoke.

She kissed him lightly on his cheeks before she cupped his face in her hands, and whispered "Happy Birthday Prem. And Han, yes. We both are fine." Flashing a bright smile on her face, she took him by his hands and led him to his parents, taking their blessings on this special day – haan, he realized that no one had forgotten HIS special day.

Everyone then came up to him to wish him, and before he knew it, he was surrounded by his family members and Heer had disappeared. Seeing his children, he asked them "Do you guys know where Mama went?"

"Kitchen Papa. " said Chahat as she held out her arms, wanting to be carried by her father.

"Cake Cake!" exclaimed Kush when he heard the word kitchen.

Chahat glared at her older brother, "Bhaiya. Surprise" she said as she tried to put her hands on her Papa's ears, so he wouldn't hear what they were talking about.

"Haha Chahat Beta. Let's go to Mama in the kitchen with the cake. Want to come with us Kush?" he asked his son as he lifted his two children up in his hands.

And so the trio set off to the kitchen, looking for Heer. He saw Heer standing by the kitchen counter, intensely concentrating on her cake decorating. She was mumbling to herself "Oh. Why didn't I finish this earlier? Now Prem is going to have to wait for his own cake."

Hearing the word cake though, both of her children screamed "Mama Cake!" She quickly turned around, tose her favorite people in the world all looking at her cutely. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked as she took Kush from his father's hands and carried him. When they repeated that they wanted cake, she placed her children on the kitchen counter and gave each of them some of the cake batter that was left.

And then she turned back to continue decorating Prem's birthday cake. Heer suddenly felt two hands slip onto her waist, pulling her backwards until she met a solid rock wall, her husband's abs. "So Madam. What have you been doing all day? Taking care of Ma and Meher and Maya and the house?" he whispered into her ear, a small smirk playing on his face.

"Preeeeeem" she answered, still not daring to look into her husband's eyes, knowing she would never get any work done if she did.

"Haan Heer. Tell me. I know you wanted to surprise me and all, but still, lying to your husband? Telling me that Chahat was hurt? Do you realize how scared I was and when I heard you fainted. Lying about your health and giving me a heart attack is not the best way to suprise me, dear" he stated, feigning anger.

"So you didn't like the surprise then? We couldn't think of anything else other than telling you that Chahat was hurt to get you home quickly. Sorry Prem" she said, holding her ears.

"Hmm. I can forgive you this time, but this won't go without some sort of punishment tonight" he said, a naughty playfulness in his eyes.

She looked at him confused for a whole two seconds, before realization dawned upon her as to what her husband was referring to. "Haha Prem. Nooo. Don't even think about it" she smiled shyly as she turned around swiftly and attempted to push her husband out of the kitchen. But he wouldn't budge, well not until the couple heard someone crying in the living room. Picking Chahat and Kush up, the two rushed outside only to find Veera sobbing in Gayatri's arms and Nihaal standing around awkwardly in the back, holding Aditya in his hands.

***************

Prem has another surprise waiting for him :)
