Happy Birthday 'Queen of Romance'

A day like every day... was it just that or was it more?

The alarm next to her woke her up. She opened up her eyes reluctantly and sat on the bed. She looked next to her, expecting something next to her, but nope nothing. Why not her husband was on business tour, and would be back hopefully tonight, otherwise tomorrow. Her happiness dampened a bit, and she wished at least he had been here.

She lectured her own self, and then decided to check her mobile. Who knows maybe he had messaged her, or even called her. But unfortunately the blank screen of her mobile stared at her. There wasn't any message or miscalls on it. Feeling a bit angry, she threw the mobile on the bed and went to have to get ready for the day.

One hour later, she walked to her kids' room, perhaps they'd wish her. After all they were her kids nah, but nope from the time she made them wake up and had them ready for school, they chattered and fought a lot but none wished her. They were small kids, she pacified herself. Since she didn't want remain alone at home, she decided to go and leave her kids at school herself.

She soon reached their school, accompanied them inside and giving both a kiss, went away. She went alone to her car, and her heart forced her to check again on her mobile, but nothing. She went on the net and checked her twitter account, if her husband and kids hadn't wished so what, her BBs would nah. But when she checked her adda, even they had forgotten her.

It was supposed to be her happy birthday today, and all had forgotten her. She alternated between anger and sadness. It took her a few minutes, but she overcame her feelings and decided what if no one had treated her, she'd treat herself. So she went for shopping, like they said, there's nothing better than shopping for a girl.

After shopping she went for a film in cinema, and even switched off her mobile. She didn't need to take her kids back at school today, since her parents were supposed to pick them up. So she didn't want to go and be alone at home.

It was already 6pm when she returned home. She stopped the car, and watched at the lonely house infront of her. It seemed her husband hadn't returned yet. She walked sadly to her house, and took out her keys to open the door, when she realized her door was already open. For one second she got scared, who could it be? No one was supposed to be at home this time. She pushed the door slowly ajar, and looked inside. She gulped down her saliva, when she didn't see anything because it was already dark inside, and no lights were on. She debated whether to go in or not. Finally she decided to call someone, she took out her phone and started to dial, when suddenly a hand shot out and dragged her inside. Before she even had the time to shout, the hand pressed down on her mouth.

"oh god, this has to be the worst day of her life," she thought to herself. But her fear lasted only a few seconds, till someone switched on the lights. She saw it was her husband who was silencing her, and then saw her parents and kids. They all were waiting impatiently for her to say something. She looked around and saw the whole house decorated beautifully for her birthday.

"My wifey birthday, and I'm not here," her husband said, and gifted her something, "Go and wear this. There's a surprise for you!"

"Surprise, kaisa surprise?" she asked very happy now.

"First go and wear this," her husband said.

She was so excited, that within less than hour she rushed back to everyone, eagerly waiting for her surprised. But before that, she had checked her emails and twitter account, those BBs of her hadn't wished her yet. Neither had her favorite actors. But no issue, her family was with her.

She had just reached in the living room, where everyone was waiting for her, when her eyes caught a young man standing with his back to her. She felt like she had seen this back somewhere, but kahan, she didn't know. She walked towards him, and patted him on his shoulder, and waited for him to turn.

"Oh my god!" she screamed when finally seeing who it was. She couldn't believe it, Shaleen Malhotra was standing in front of her.

"Shaleen? You?" she whispered and pinched herself.

"Hmmm not Shaleen, but your Arjun," Shaleen said and winked at her.

He pulled something from his pockets and said, "Happy Birthday Vidya, wish you all the happiness in the world!" and gave her a kiss on her cheeks.

Vidya's cheeks turned red from the kiss, and she lowered her eyes feeling shy all of a sudden.

"Waise what do you want on your birthday? Kya gift doon tumhein? You can ask me anything?" Shaleen said.

"I'll do anything for you, do you want me to dance like Ranbir did "I am a disco dancer", do you want me to act something for you? What do you want?" Shaleen asked.

Vidya giggled when she heard the "I am a disco dancer" and thought about her BBs, they would have loved something like this.

"Nahin, nothing like that. But I wanted you to dress up like you did in cop uniform and have a dance with me," Vidya said with puppy eyes.

"Your wish is my command," Shaleen bowed and went away.

Vidya was waiting anxiously for his return, when suddenly she felt someone touching her shoulder. She turned and she was again shocked. This time Gorky and Mrunal was standing in front of her.

"Happy Birthday to you," both said with a big smile and gifted her something.

"Oh god, I'm going to die," Vidya said not believing her own eyes. Her eyes filled with tears, when suddenly she felt her phone vibrating. She took it out and saw a message.

"Kaisa laga humara gift? Do you want something else?" the message said.

"They never forgot me," she said happily.

She turned towards Gorky and Mrunal, and chatted with them happily, till she finally heard a sudden silence in the room. She turned to see her Arjun, in cop attire, coming towards her, with his hand up asking her for a dance. Soon she heard a beautiful romantic music filling the room.

She put her hands in his, and swayed in his arms for a long time, of course with the permission of her husband.

Finally after having danced with him, Gorky next asked Vidya for a dance, to which she readily agreed. This was one of her best birthday, she danced with Arjun again, and her husband and Gorky. Finally when it was time to cut her cake, they all sang for her and fed her. Arjun even put some cream on her cheeks...

When it was finally time for everyone to go, Vidya turned towards Arjun, Gorky and Mrunal and thanked them for coming.

"Could we not come for a beautiful girl like you?" Arjun said and gave her a big smile.

"Waise your friends can be very persuasive," Gorky added, "Yep very persuasive..." Mrunal added with a smile.

"Kyun kya kiya in logon ne ab?" Vidya asked.

"That's our secret," they all said and went away.

Somewhere else, a few persons were busy chatting on the adda.

"It worked, she was really happy!" one said.

"Yep, now we all have to do only one thing," the other said.

"Well it's fair enough for us, but poor tun, she'd suffer the most," one said with a giggle.

"Yep one month away from twitter, and not torturing them with our bickering and all!" another one added.

"well all is fair in love and Happy birthday!" they all said at same time.

so kaisa tha😳? Happy birthday again😃
