Happy Birthday Reshu/Abby =))
"Hello Appi. Is the coast clear yet?" I asked knowing very well that the answer would be a negative one.
"Doll, you know how she is," Appi replied letting out a sigh before she continued, "you guys have perfectly named her; Miss Owl. Sone ka naam hi nahi leti hain yeh ladki. Main kuch karne ki koshish karti hoon," and with that Appi cut the call.
"She is still asleep." I said loudly as everyone sighed disappointingly. But then it was something expected to us. No wonder we had secretly nicknamed her 'Miss Owl'.
Wanting to surprise Reshu/Abby/Gudiya/Falak for her birthday this year, our little group, actually quite a big one, consisting of me, Saddie, her zaalim Zee, Golu Di, Malikah, Piya, Shalaka, Pallo Di, Saba, Fatima, Shubhi, Sheema, Thushy, Saffi, Jyo, Deepz, Ammu, Anu, Waheeda, Nethra, Phal, Veena Di and many more (a never ending list-she has too many friends *_* =P sorry to those I missed out >_< but she loves you all :* =D ), had landed in Delhi a day before and with the help of her elder sister, whom we call Appi and younger one, Arham, we were all trying our level best to put our plan into execution.
If only she would have been asleep, I told myself.
When Appi didn't call me back even after half an hour, we knew that she would never succeed in making her sleep all by herself. It was nearly 11 p.m and we had more or less 1 hour before we could surprise her as per our plan.
We were all thinking about what to be done next when our Sadiie Ji, the great screamed excitedly:
"Idea!!!!!!!"
We all immediately turned towards her. Maybe, she indeed had something upto her sleeves.
"What did you think of Sadiie? Jaldi jaldi bolo," Pallo Di immediately said.
"Yes yes Sadiie, be phasttt," Thushy added.
"I was thinking..." started Sadiie.
"Continue re," Ammu quickly said.
"Yea, yea, am telling, be patient re," came Sadiie's reply as she stuck her tongue teasingly at Ammu.
"Tell us quickly Munni, we don't have enough time. Itna bhav kya kha rahi hain?" Zee retorted impatiently.
Giving her a playful mock, she continued:
"Why don't we ask Appi to spike her coffee?" she quickly said as her eyes beamed with excitement.
We all looked at her with our eyes popped out of their sockets while Shubhi nearly choked on her coke.
They all gave her a you-can't-be-serious look which she pretended not to have noticed of course.
"Yea, spike her coffee so that she wakes up directly in the morning and all our plan goes like the 'bhens' in 'water'" Shalaka said after few seconds to which all started laughing except me and Sadiie of course.
Sadiie didn't laugh because, well it was HER idea and I didn't because I felt that she might actually be right.
Woh ladki toh sone waali nahi thi, especially on her birthday, so why not 'sulao' her as Sadiie suggested, I voiced out loud enough for all to hear me.
"Even you're getting crazy, kya?" asked Saba, who was a silent listener all the while.
But then when no one could get any idea for the next 5 min, Sadiie's idea gradually sunk in their chotu mind (to which we both hi5-ed each other while no one was looking towards us) and we all finally decided to go for this only. We were not going to ask Appi to get her 'talli', just a chotu sa sleeping pill mixed in her coffee to get her sleeping for while, we all decided with an evil grin playing on our face.
***************************************
"Understood Appi?" I asked on the phone which was on speaker as we were all eager to know whether she would agree to our little devilish plan or not.
"Doll, do you even know what you guys are talking about?" Appi said letting out a long and loud gasp, being the drama Queen she is. "Reshu ko pata chala na, toh meri khair nahi."
"Oh C'mon Abgina. You're her elder sister. Kuch nahi kahegi wo tumhein," came Jyo's immediate reply as she stepped into the conversation.
"Haan Abgina, and besides, Hum hain na. She won't do anything. And then dekhna, surprise ke chakkar mein, Abby would not even remember how we had tricked her," said Deepz as she hi5-ed Jyo.
And then, after few minutes of persuasion, from us and Arham, our little partner in crime, Appi reluctantly agreed after which we quickly made our way to their house since a little less than an hour was remaining before the clock would struck 12.
***************************************
"Arham, we are already at the door. Get us in, quickly," I said over the phone while we are all 'freezing' with Delhi's chill.
"Ye-ye-yess Zahra Appi, I'm coming," came the reply.
"Why was she stuttering like SRK in Darr," Anu asked me while I was cutting the call.
"Delhi's chill, Anu, itna bhi nahi pata," Saffi said causing everyone to chuckle.
***************************************
"Arham, is their no power kya?" Golu Di asked after we all exchanged greetings to her as we entered the Quadri House.
"Errmm, yea, lights chali gayi, so that's why, it's all dark here."
I wondered why was she sounding nervous when both Uncle Aunty knew that we had planned this surprise for Reshu, it was not as if we had come here without their knowledge.
"By the way, where is Appi?" Sheema asked Arham.
When she didn't respond for a while, I asked her again.
"Arham, she is asking you where is Appi? Bolo na, where is she."
"Actually, she is upstairs in the room ensuring herself that Reshu Appi doesn't wake up," which caused all of us to actually let out a giggle.
"If only Reshu would know whose idea this has been," I said playfully as Sadiie gave me a glare.
"If Abby would know, then she would also know who actually suggested to go for this," Sadiie retorted as she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Yea, yea, yea, as if you'd actually tell her," I gave it back to her in the playful mood I already were.
"Oh C'mon, both of you, we only have 7 minutes left before midnight. Stop arguing like KG kids, and Arham, please take us to Falak's room," Piya gently said being the sweet person she is.
***************************************
As we entered the room, we could see a shadow hovering, in the dark, by the door.
Appi was actually keeping a watch on Reshu it seems, I thought as I let out a chuckle.
A series of Hello Appi/Pari/Abgina came out while we all exchanged greetings in the dark in a veryyy low voice.
"Appi, what happened to your voice?? You sound weird and as if your mouth is stuffed," I asked.
"Woh, who, Doll...actually..."
"Zahra, Delhi ki sardi, remember," Saffi once again said, to which Appi continued:
"And I had to wear a scarf and muffle my mouth, maybe that's why you're finding it weird."
A glance at my phone, and I realised we have 90 seconds left.
"Ok, guys, the moment the clock strike 12, we will all wake her up, jump on her bed and wish her, ok?"
"Yesss," came the immediate exciting reply from all.
And this is what we actually done, with the intention of surprising our Birthday Girl. No sooner the clock had struck 12, that we all nearly jumped on her bed, even though there was no lights and wished her altogether after waking her up through multiple shakes.
But then the light suddenly came on. We were all excited to see her expressions.
Wasting no time, Ammu immediately pulled off the blanket from her head only for us all to receive a shock.
It was Appi who was actually on the bed.
Did our entire plan, our surprise just go to drain??? Shuckkksss!!!!!!
But if Appi is here, then who was the person we had taken for Appi???
The moment realisation struck us, we all turned around only to be welcomed by a huge grin and unstoppable laughter of, well, The Birthday Girl.
We went to her place to surprise her and instead she made a bakra out of us and surprised us.
***************************************
"Toh some people had planned to spike my drink," said Abby/Reshu as she paced around us all who was sitting in a circle in her room, while stressing on 'some people' causing me and Sadiie to give a look to each other, while the others were actually glaring at us.
Poora plan chopat ho gaya. How could we forget, or should I say, how could I forget that the person in question was our very own Miss Owl who can never be fooled.
And then came the 'I told you so, I had warned you people' session. Ekkksss. Seriously!!!! They were the one to have agreed with this whole thing too, so why 'us' only, I asked myself.
***************************************
We were all busy "accusing" each other (not really =P ) when we heard our Birthday Girl break into another fit of laughter.
"Hello, hello, hello, it's still my birthday in case you all forgot," reminded Reshu/Abby with maybe a little bit of sarcasm dripping since our focus had actually drifted away from her at that particular moment, which caused all of us to chuckle.
No sooner the words had left her mouth, that we all literally engulfed her to wish her once again. The whole 'bakra fiasco, spiked drink, how the hell Appi got in Abby's place" was forgotten as we all hugged her and sent a number of wishes in her way, screaming out a loud HAPPY BIRTHDAY for her.
***************************************
Half an hour later, the Quadri's living room was all set and decorated, which glistened with fairy lights. A huge cardboard was pinned just in the middle of the wall, with 'Happy Birthday Abreshmina" written on it along with our names and one-line wishes and it was finally time to cut the cake as we all made our way around the table which was placed in the middle of the room with the yummy Black Forest cake place on it.
"Cut the cake Reshu and don't forget to make your wish" I said as I finished lighting the candles on the cake while Arham handed her the knife.
As she cut the cake, we all sang for her after which a loud continuous sound of applause could be heard as she fed all of us present there a piece of the birthday cake.
***************************************
" Ahhh, you shouldn't have done this," said the 'angry' birthday girl as we smudged the cream from the birthday cake on her face.
With that started the cake fight with few Kodak moments in between followed by a pillow fight as we were all fighting for the beds when it was time to get some sleep. It was indeed a moment to be cherished for lifelong.
***************************************
"Reshu, utho!!!! Wake up Reshu!!!!!!"
'Hai Allah, Kya karoon main iss ladki ka,' thought Appi as she tried to wake up Reshu.
"Appi, sone do na, am sooo tired after last night's fun." mumbled our birthday girl.
"Reshu, it's 00:00 and it's your birthday. How can you be sleeping at his time???," asked Appi in an irritating tone since she had spent almost 3 hours with the others, trying to bake a home-made cake for Reshu as she always likes it to be.
Registering her words, Reshu immediately jumped on her bed, realising that she had actually been dreaming all the while.
***************************************
'Kaash, this dream comes true someday' she sincerely prayed inwardly as she hugged Appi, Arham and her parents, who had just entered into her room, as they wished her.
Later on, as she went through the messages she was receiving from her friends, she couldn't help but keep remembering the lovely dream she had just had.
***************************************
Well, That was all I could come up with Reshu.
Acha hain, kharaab hain, pata hain, bas aisa hi hain😆
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Once Again.
Love You Loads ❤️🤗
