"Oh God!!!!What should I do?????", I shouted.
" Sharon, chill we will come up with something..", Rey said trying to calm me down.
We both have been sitting for three hours in my room discussing what I should plan for Swayam's birthday. Yes tomorrow is Swayam birthday and I hadn't still planned any party for him nor had I bought any gift for him.
To be frank I have toyed with so many ideas for Swayam's birthday but no idea was that enthralling and electrifying. It would have been easy to arrange a surprise party but then I wanted to make it special..something Swayam wouldn't have dreamed of.
I looked at my watch. I still had four hours before the clock ticked 12 marking the beginning of a very special day. I looked at Rey who was busy searching on internet for an extraordinary idea. And suddenly out of nowhere an idea popped in my head. I flirted with that idea to make sure that it was full proof and stimulating. I was so busy in my thought that I didn't realize that I was still starring at Rey.
" Now Sharon, don't you look at me like that. I am trying my level best.", He said petrified by my looks. I ignored him and continued forming a plan in my head. Finally when I was pleased I exclaimed, " gotacha !!!"
" What???", Rey said.
"I mean I got an idea. Ok look Rey, I need your help for this. First you come with me."
" Where??", Rey questioned.
I just got hold of his hand and dragged him to kitchen. Ramu Kaka our cook was shocked to see us both standing in his territory. " Aap dono ko kuch chahiye??", he asked.
" Ramu Kaka aap mujhe abhi Chocolate cake banna sikhaoge…jaldi bataiye kya karna he???", I said .
" Tum aur cake banaogi!!!!", They both exclaimed in unison.
" Ofcourse. Jaldi bataiye na Kaka..", I urged.
Still in shocked that I wanted to work in kitchen kaka started to guide me. It was more difficult than I thought but somehow I managed to make the batter and finally put the cake in oven. " Rey you call me once it is done.", I ordered him and went to my room.
I took out a pink paper which my dad brought me from US and started searching on google and as soon as I found the thing I needed I scribbled it down on the paper with upmost care. When I was finally done I applied a red lipstick on my lips and pressed my lips at last.
By that time Rey came and said, " it's ready, Sharon."
I ran in kitchen and did the icing and told kaka to pack in carefully in a flat steel tiffin box. I looked at my watch it was 11.30..oh freak I thought only half an hour remaining. I ran in my room and grabbed laptop and the letter and put it properly in my bag and was about to go out when I glanced at the mirror.
" Damn it!!", I screamed because my hairs were mess and I had chocolate all over my dress and my face. I once again glanced at my clock and realized that I had no time to fresh up.
" He loves you not yours looks.", Rey said.
I smiled and dragged him to his car. " Rey, now it's your time to help.", I said.
" Shoot captian."
" Ok first take me to swayam's house as fast as possible."
We got inside the car and Rey drived as fast possible breaking God's knows how many rules not that I cared. We finally reached. It was quiet. We entered in the compound without making any noise. I glanced at watch it was now 11.45.
" Now what???", Rey asked.
" Ok. Come with me.", I took him to the main door of swayam's house.
" We are going to enter through main door. And how do you plan to that???", Rey questioned.
I signaled him to keep quiet and took out the laptop. I played a video which I had downloaded from net and showed him.
" Sharon, are u sure???"
I nodded. " Ok. Give me the hair clip.", He said.
I gave him my hair clip. He inserted it in the door lock and asked me, " Which direction I am suppose to rotate it??"
I played the video and said, " Three times in anti clockwise direction."
He did it and then tried to open the door knob and gosh it did open. " Yipee!!!", We both said.
" Now enjoy yourself and wish Swayam on my behalf also.", saying so Rey went.
I entered his house. I looked at my clock only five minutes remaining I went towards his room and opened the door only to crash into Swayam so hard that we land on ground with swayam below me.
" Sharon, tummm???", Swayam said.
I looked at my watch it was 12… " HAPPY BIRTHDAY ,SWAYAM."
" What???", he said still in shock.
" Thank you…", I said.
" What??", Swayam again asked.
" WTH Swayam, I came here to wish you and tum thank you bolne ke badle sirf what what bol rahe ho…", I said getting up.
" Sharon, tum yaha……I just don't believe it.."
I just and sighed and pinched him hard. " Ouch…..", he screamed.
" Now you believe ya fir I should pinch you again???"
" no no .", he said getting up.
I pulled him and made him seat on bed and took out the cake box secretly hoping that the cake was in shape. I opened it and thankfully it was perfect.
He cut the cake while I sang happy birthday and then I fed him a piece while he did the same.
" Sharon, this is the best chocolate cake I ever ate."
" Really???", I questioned him because according to me I had tasted many more much much better cake.
" yes. I loved this cake because you made it."
" How come you know???", I asked him.
He chuckled and said, " look at your dress and your face and your hyper excited eyes.."
" Ok now close your eyes…", I ordered him.
Being swayam always so obedient he closed his eyes. I took out the paper and placed it in his hand. He opened the letter and while reading that his eyes got widened and his smile just got broader.
" You like it???", I asked impatiently.
" I loved it. Sharon, I think I am the first boyfriend of this world whose girlfriend had said him I LOVE YOU in so many different language."
I was glad that he liked it. I had wrote I love you in all possible language right from Marathi, Hindi, English,Urdu, Gujrati, Chinese and French.
" Only one thing I didn't like..", he said.
" And what is that??", I said feeling disappointed.
" I would have loved if this lips sign would have been pasted on my cheeks."
I hit him playfully and kissed him hard on his cheeks and hugged him thightly.
" Sharon, this is the best birthday of my life. Thank you so much for doing this for me. Thank you for being in my life."
And I felt blissful because Swayam was happy. And we sat there in each other's arm completing each other's life.
