|| Happy Birthday ||
Opening the huge laminated gate... They entered inside... Sitting on the opposite side, she stared at him...
"Jalal..." she called softly...
His humming response just added more annoyance to her already sour mood...
"What hmm... Show some excitement, idiot! Its your bday today..." she said carrying the annoyed expression...
He sighed, she is simply bugging him since morning about his b'day...
"Meera... You..." he stopped as he found HER descending down the stairs... Her till now soft smile turned into a frown...
She growled silently... Seems like complaining him that's her time with him now... He passed her a assuring smile, which calmed her little... She sat down on the stairs without the latter's notice ...
"Aren't you happy?" she again drilled him up...
"Meera it's not like that..."
"Then..."
Sighing in defeat he looked behind her... She encouraged him to go on... Nodding cutely with her dimpled cheeks, tough to refuse...
*****
"Happy birthday..." her light feathery whisper rolled in his ears...
Smiling sheepishly he opened his eyes, only to find his moon glowing by the full moonlight invading their privacy peeking slugishly from the curtained window...
His whole self soothed hearing her soft breathing through the cell phone caressing the snap which he kept near his pumping organ in her absence... But yet reminiscing about the fury that rushed through him, when she left him alone, that too without informing... Prohibited words to left from his throat...
Her ears were waiting for just a word... Even a humming, but only silence echoed inside the ear drum... Her inner conscience has registered that He won't say anything, and if anything... Then it would may target the softness and purity of her heart...
"Sorry..." She again tried to snatch a single word from his voice, that seems to have lost somewhere... Or he has hidden it from her reach leaving her in the carving...
Biting her lower lip... She placed a light peck on the speaker... To which the silenced former groaned inwardly... Seems like she testing the last ounce of patience he has kept resided on his persona with difficulty...
And before she tried any other antics of hers, the former cut the call to prevent himself from further teasing... Watching the snap he twisted his lips...
"You shouldn't have done that..." now how to sleep haunted him till the dublious sun rays played along the light breeze entered inside the room...
*****
Meera was astounded... The person sitting in front of her , is totally contrasting with the personality he had just described...
He peeked behind meera and found her giggling at him... The curve of his lips automatically widened...
"Then..." Meera asked curious to know further...
*****
That morning doesn't have colors... That morning doesn't contain freshness... So dull, seems like sulking every bit of his b'day... All credit goes to HER...
He again twisted his lips with a cute pout, he complained to her snap about her snap...
"Esa nahi kra kro..."
And his phone flashed 'Sweetheart'... A bright smile overtook the till now sulking, droopy lips... In a flash, heavily falling on bed... His hand involuntarily reached out to hold the gadget... But remembrance of his anger, a deep longing that was settled deep down, is now pushing him to edge, emerging with a strong force... But remaining strong, he pushed that urge away...
*****
"Tum pagal ho kya?" Meera asked baffled...
She frowned at Meera... Her nose flared up in anger, watching Meera scolding him... Glaring at him, she asked him for defense...
He immediately shook his head in a no...
"Phir..." She again urged him to complete... While her glaring eyes shifted towards him in a meaningful smile...
*****
After few rings, he picked it up... Now also silence surfaced in between them...
His stubbornness always amused her...
"M coming in an hour..." She informed about her arrival... Brightening the silent listener face, but stubborn him!! Not even a single syllable, escaped his mouth...
"Ab to say something..." She hoped for a reply but receiving none... Her dark brown orbs, blurred vision, just his one word... Just one is enough for...
"Please kuch to bol do..." her voice unevenly heavy...
Clenching his insides ruefully, he knows, she is just preventing... Chah! Just trying to prevent the flow of her emotions... Now enough!!!
"Kyu?? Kyu aa rahi ho?? Why the hell are you coming haan??.. Mat aao... Just stay there... I m happy without you... We all are happy... Got that!!" and he poured out all his frustration... And the line went dead...
*****
"Then..." Meera squeezed his hand a little...
Till now downcasted eyes, flashed upwards... Meera immediately flinched back a little... His eyes full red, filled with water, but being stubborn he didn't let them down...
"Usne seriously le liya yrr... She took it damn serious..!!!" He sobbed...
Meera gasped while SHE stood up from the stairs and ran towards him not bothering Meera this time...
Hoping in his arms, she wiped his tears...
"Dadda! Don't cry... Maa ko accha nhi lagega naa... She won't like it na..." the doting daughter made her father understand... While he clutched her more tightly...
"I didn't even talked to her properly... I... I never... Meant any... Anything... That...that i said her... Muj... Mujhe to bs itna keh... Kehna tha... I missed you... Missed you jaan... Please... Please come... Come back... Nothing... Nothing seemed happy with... Without you... But usne... Usne... She took it seriously... Her car... Her car got... Got smashed by... By a truck... All because of me!!"
The little doll just keep running her soft little palms over his cheeks...
"Dadda!!" another childish voice caught Meera's attention... And a little boy came running down, hoping on his other leg...
Cupping his face... He kissed the tip of his nose...
"Happy birthday dadda..." He wished his dadda cutely same dark brown orbs like her...
Meera slipped out of the scene... She don't wanna disturb this little cute family moment...
