"Mera Tom aayega, zaroor aayega!" With the constant replay of the same line over and over again, Nabila jerked out of her sleep. Just like Rakhee in Karan Arjun, her eyes scanned the room like a person lost in world.
"So that was a dream! Tom broke up with Taylor because of me! Wow!"
With a disappointing sigh that is so unlike herself, she picked up her phone from the side table. Of course, today being the D Day, it was no surprise to find so many unread messages. Fancy being famous and all, eh? She thought to herself with a slight smirk.😎
"What's the status on Tom, miss?" Came the voice from the bedroom door, startling Nabila.
"Jeez! Thanks for the warning 😳"
"You're welcome!" Zoah and Appy said it together, as they entered the room.
"Why are you here?"
"Why do you think? You were just mumbling about Mera Tom aayega, zaroor aayega, so I'm here because Tom is here."
"Get out!"
"What? I'm serious. He even wished you happy birthday on his Twitter page!"
"Get lost!"
"Fine by me! But don't say, I didn't warn you. If you don't want him, I'm next in the queue " The third voice said from the door as Mahi made her way towards the bed.
"Is there not like a girls code about not going after a guy your friend fancies?"
"Yeah, but you just refused to see him, which technically means you don't like him anymore. All is fair in love and war." Appy's dreamy voice was sigh worthy!
"You are married, woman!"
"So? I can appreciate a good looking man when I see one."
"Whatever! You guys go away now, I need to catch on my beauty sleep. I need to dream aboutTom yet, without the mention of Taylor this time, so leave."
"You have a physical Tom present downstairs and you want to meet him in your dream?"
"Are you guys for real?"
"Of course, it's your birthday today. We wanted to give you the best gift there is and that is none other than your dream man, Tom."
"Wow! I'm not believing it just yet but I do know you guys would do this for me 🤗"
"Happy Birthday, Nabila!" 🤗
*Few minutes later*
Zoah, Appy and Mahi blindfolded Nabila's eyes, leading her in the lounge room. The three ladies shared a knowing smirk, rising the anticipation level. Meanwhile, Nabila's dil ki dhakdhak was going 200mph. The anticipation of meeting Tom was maybe just too much. She knew it was probably a joke the girls were playing on her but that didn't deter her heart from pounding heartbeats.
"Right, so here we are!" Zoah said, letting go Nabila to join the lady standing on the other end of the room.
"Now, brace yourself!" Appy and Mahi said as they removed the blindfold.
And Nabila just stood there. Gobsmacked. Shocked. Surprised. You name it. She felt it. Of course, she was expecting T o m to be there but this was just unexpected. She could only imagine these bunch of weirdoes to pull this one off.
In front of her, stood Daya. Holding a gorgeous ginger cat. Named Tom. Of course. What else?
Daya stood there, stroking the cat, a smirk never leaving her face.
"Well, how about an introduction, eh?" She said while the other three just stood there, waiting for Nabila's reaction.
"Interesting. Not that I was expecting Tom but this was not expected either."
"Well, we can't really pull the favours and requests to bring Tom over. Though I did spam his Twitter timeline and the Facebook page."
"But this is better than that. The fact that you guys know me too well that you would bring me a ginger cat!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NABILA!" And came the huge group hug!
