Chapter 11 (part b)
We knew eachother
Zoya's POV:
I was at first amused by tannu's enquirement about cake cutting and then she brushed it off by giving me feathery hugs and kisses which left me embarassed atlast. she never displayed her public show affection with anyone mostly and she definitely never did it with me but what happend to her today 'i dont know' i thought and let it go for now. she was so excited and was squealing for small things. i was really irked by her behaviour but couldnt show it as it was birthday today and moreover she is my bestie, i have to bear my life long.
T: ok ok okay!!!time for cake cutting...!!!!...
All of them 'oohed' and 'aaahed'. i gave them all a grimance. they all lead me to the table. Asad took out a box and kept it on the table. i smiled inwardly seeing how his name sounded in my head. all of a sudden i felt shy.' what the hell?!?!?!zoya!! you are feeling shy?!?!?! noways...just because he is handsome doesnt mean that you should be attracted to him!!! you were never interested in any man before, now what???' i scolded myself. i went near the box and opened to find a cake and the next thought came to my mind was 'wow!'. it had a beautiful family picture of us. there was me in the mid-front and then tannu,najma,miey and nikhat around my right and then asad close to me,nuzhat,humi next to ayaan and pops around my left and above us all there was kaka. i smiled and looked towards asad and said in a small voice so that only he could hear as he was just behind me but not too close. i was relieved for that.
ME: thank you!its nice!
He in return too smiled with a glint in his eyes at me.and the good thing was that no one noticed our small conversation. 'but wait a minute...if he did all these decorations and the cake too, then he surely would have known my face and then why did he act as if he was seeing me for the first time before.'
T: come on!!! zoe...cut the caaakeee!!
Tannu squealed as did everyone with claps.they all brought the candles they were holding in their hands and lit it up again as the flame went off when they all were busy in hugging. it was 18 candles in there.
"blow it!" said miey. i had no choice but to comply. i blew it off when they clapped while ayaan whined and said
Ay: come on!mona you are so lazy...
And he started blowing the candles and finished it for me. and for that he earned a good smack on the head from his bhai.
I took the knife and sliced a triangle piece of cake. i turned with the cake in my hand and wiggled my eyebrows at all of them while they shouted "me!me!me!". i just closed my eyes. and waited for one of them to bite the cake off. all of a sudden the piece of cake wasnt in my hands anymore instead there was a tingling sensation starting from my fingers and just spreading through my body as i felt the lips of person who bit the cake brush my fingers. i opened my eyes to see the most cutest scene in the world. i saw asad licking in his fingers with a triumpht smile playing on his lips while looking at me. he looked so cute with a small bit of cream to the side of lips which i so badly wanted to wipe but then controlled myself...'ah! good he wiped it himself'
Ay: hey!bhai! you got the first piece...not fair!
As: ofcourse it is fair! i get the first always because iam the eldest of you all babies!
Ay: you are too much bhaijaan!!!
T: arrey! leave na ayaan, let him have it.
'what happened to this girl today?'i thought. and then we all enjoyed the cake and mostly i enjoyed the cake very much as it was my favourtie flavour, it was blueberry.i kept a reminder to thank him once again.
We were all chatting, well the others were chatting while i chose to be a silent observer, butting in here and there and i noticed tanveer was behaving very oddly. she was always siding asad.she even decided to take a place across him, she even smiled for the slightest look of him at her.she was moreover praising the others than herself.i know she is a kind person but she never used praise so much about others.she was always a self praising person but what happened today. i was mostly observing her, i caught her gaze and followed it, it was directed towards asad who was laughing at something cracked by ayaan. tannu was grinning like a fool at him. ' oh!this girl is again having a crush on him...already her list of crushes were overflowing now him'. i felt anger rage through me for an unknown reason.'me!angry at my own friend, noways, that too for someone whom i barely knew??!! thats foolish!'
Ay: so...mona did you like the cake??
Me: huh!? yeah yeah , it was good.
Ay: i knew it would be good! then who did it? me , na.
Me: what?
Ay: what, what? i ordered it and that family photo frosting was all done by me!!and even that blueberry flavour was chosed by me as i knew it was your favourite!!
ME: oh oh! i thought--it- it was you bhaijaan.
Ay: oh for god sake!! zoya!!really? you thought bhaijaan did it? he couldnt even get me a bhabhi...!!!
All of them laughed at this relevation while asad glared at ayaan again giving a smack on the head. now i too joined in this laughing session silently chuckling.
We resumed the chatting with me actively present in it. then asad suddenly mentioned about miey.
As: miey? what is this miey?
H: its actually a derivative from mommy which zoya baaji kept. its like 'm' and the 'y' from mommy or you can even take the 'mi' from Ammi...!!
And thats it for me, i felt my face fall out of its cheerfulness. i couldnt help being here so i just excused myself and swiftly moved out of there.. i ignored the footsteps behind and just ran in a random direction till i reached a room. i barged in it and shut the door locking it. and then i let out the tears which were build up and cried my heart out.
