By: Kavya and Suhana
"aaj tou sach main thak gayi… aur ab dil chah raha bas bed pe giron aur so jaon…", Sia said to herself as she entered her room and dropped herself on the bed.
Sia was back from a friends get together, which was a weekly routine of her gang. All of them gathered at Suhana's outhouse, which was there adda(gang's den), every Sunday night and had blast. Kavya, Suhana, Yaz, Neha, Meeshti, Anu, Ayysha, Maha, Natasha, Noor, Waqas, Aishwarya and Taz were her friends from the college. The met each other on the very first day and now were the coolest gang of the college.
She stretched herself a little and got up to change her clothes. She slipped into night suit and was about to retire to bed when her eyes fell on the calendar.
"oh Tuesday ko tou mera birthday hai…", she said as she placed her finger on the date 13th December.
"matlab sab ke sab logon ko treat deni hogi as per our "gang princples"… yar yeh acha apni hi birthday pe sab se zyada kharcha khud ka hi ho jata hai… saste mein kahan maante hain yeh loog…", Sia thought as she laid down on the bed.
"subah college jaake decide karti hoon kahan jaana pasand karein ge yeh loog…", she said to herself and went to sleep.
Next morning Sia got ready for the college and left hurriedly, although the first period was free but it was also the gang's principle that all of them should meet in the canteen before going to the class.
She reached her college and went to the canteen.
As she entered the canteen, she heard someone singing aloud while tapping the table,
"tujhe deka tou yeh jaana sanam…
Pyaar hota hai deewana sanam…"
And she guessed instantly who it was.
"hey Suhana…", she said as she placed her hand on the shoulder of a girl who seemed to be taking part in the next Indian Idol.
"hello jaani…", Suhana said as she stood up and hugged her.
"baqi sab kahan hain yar?", Sia asked.
"baqi sab ka kya karna hai tumhe??? Main hoon Naa…", Suhana said as she tried to copy the SRk style.
Before Sia could say anything, someone came and hit Suhana on her back.
"oww… KAvya behna… main ne kya kiya jo tumne mujhe mara…", Suhana said as she turned back to see who hit her.
"Tune subah subah phir se SRK ka naam shuru kar dia…iss liye mara'", Kavya said as she sat next to Suhana after greeting Sia. She sat with her elbows resting on the table and her palms on her cheek.
"Thank god tum aagayi. Ab jaldi se bata iss baar kis hotel walon ka dimaag chatna hai?" Sia asked Kavya who just was smiling seeing both of them.
Suhana and Sia passed each other surprised looks seeing her just smiling and not answering the question.
"Kal raat tak toh teek thi na achanak se kya hogaya isse?" Suhana asked puzzled Sia.
Just then someone came and removed Kavya's hands from her face revealing the earphones in her ear.
"Acha toh yeh baat hai…" Sia said angrily.
"Lekin Yaz tumhe kaise pata chala?" Suhana asked her as Yaz settled down beside her.
"Simple kal ek film ka music launch huyi thi aur uss film ka music director hai... I guess mujhe batane ki jaroorat nahin hai ab tak samaj hi gaye honge.", Yaz replied in a matter of fact tone.
"Kavya toh pehle batana tha na… gaane kaise hai? Cha lab Ipod mujhe de mein sunthi hoon", Sia said as she put forward her hand to take the Ipod.
"Rahman hai toh poochne ki jaroorat nahin hai… They're awesome. Yeh lo…", Kavya said as she removed the earphones.
She was about to give it to Sia when Yaz snatched it.
"Sia aaj Mrs.Rangini ka class hai toh hum gaane tab sun lene... Bekaar mein ab time waste kyun kar rahi ho", Yaz said making faces.
"Right you are… Ab batao tum kya pooch rahi thi?", KAvya noded and turned towards Sia.
"Mein ne tums logon se yeh poocha tha ki iss baar kis hotel walon ka dimaag chatna hai???", Sia asked.
"Oh balle balle Iska matlab hai hum jald hi treat milne wali hai…", Yaz shrieked excitedly.
"Hmm iss mahina kya special hai… wait lemme think…", a confused Suhana blabbered as tapped her forehead.
"Meri pyaari behana apne thoughts ko jaara break laga… kya special hai woh point nahin hai… Kahaan jaana hai yeh soch toh behtar hoga…", KAvya said as nudged Suhana.
All of them start thinking and then Yaz comes up with the idea of Pizza Hut that gets rejected as they went there last time and made a hell out there. So, they feared they might not be allowed in this time.
They were all thinking deeply when someone joins them taking the place beside Sia.
"Tum logon ko nahin lagta apni nazuk dimaag pe kuch jyaada hi zor daal rahe ho? Jab tum logon ke saath itni intelligent ladki baiti hai toh uski intelligence ka kuch toh faida uthao. Batao problem kya hai…", the new entry said as she raised her collars and tried to play cool.
Sia then asked her to suggest a place, where they can go for the treat. She came up with a place and everyone agreed.
"Mein toh humesha se hi kehti hoon na multi talented hai humari Ayysha…", Sia praised her and gave her a hug from the side.
"thanx Sia darling… me have to rush now… dance practice n all…. You see…", Ayysha said and left from there.
"Arre yaar yeh baaki sab log kahaan reh gaye?", Sia asked after sometime.
"Hum yahaan hai…", two voices came from the enterance.
They turn in the direction the voices came and saw two girls standing at the door.
"Shaintan ka naam lo aur do do shaintaan haazir…" KAvya said and gave a high-five to Sia. One of the girls came and got hold of her throat.
"OMG koii mujhe bachao… mujhe itni jaldi marna nahin hai… abhi bohut saari wishes poori honi baaki hai…", KAvya yelled as she tried to remove the hands from her neck.
"Neha please meri behana ko chod de. Ek hi toh behan hai meri agar usse kuch hogaya toh mera kya hoga???", Suhana pleaded making a sad face.
"Tum dono ne apna emotional drama phir se shooru kar dia... Please just give me a break…", Neha said making faces. She left Kavya and settled down on the chair.
"Oh my Rab… looks like someone had a bad start in the morning…", Yaz muttered as she smiled at NEha.
Then the girl that came with Neha sat beside Yaz and said.
"Bad nahin very bad… Pata hai aaj kya hua? Nupur aur Mayank ke beech aaj phir se ladayi hogayi…" she whinned.
"Toh usmein nayi baat kya hai TAz dear humesha toh ladte rehte hain…Hello gals…", someone said as she joined the group.
"oh really… Meeshti???", TAz said giving her an angry look.
"Taz dekho ab pehle ladte hain, phir ek hote hain ab aise hi toh pyaar badta haina?? Tumhe toh kush hona chahiye na…", Meeshti explained her. Taz nods her head.
"guys… there is a one big problem…", someone came in shouting, trying to grab their attention.
"Hey Anu tum aagayi… problem? KAisi problem?", Neha said as she got up and hugged the new girl in the scene.
"oh come on Neha darling… Anu aayi hai…", Suhana said but she was cut in before she could complete her sentence.
"tou problem tou aaya gi hi naa…", KAvya completed Suhana's sentence and winked.
"off course… after all…", Sia was about to say something but was interrupted by YAz.
"problem and Anu are…", Yaz started to talk but she was also cut in.
"synonymous to each other… right guys???", Natasha finally completed the sentence as she joined the gang and looked at every one to confirm whether she is right or not.
"yesss…", Suhana, Kavya, Sia, Yaz, Anu, Meeshti, Neha and Taz said together.
"Problem mein… main nahin balki koi aur hai…", Anu replied sending daggers through her eyes towards all of them.
"Sorry Anu… itna gussa kyun ho rahi ho??? hum toh sirf mazak kar rahe the...", Neha said making a sad pout.
Sia then asks Anu what the problem was.
"pata hai… unki Heer aaj wapas chali gayi… woh abhi abhi use airport chor kea aye hain…", Anu replied sadly and pointed towards a guy standing at the door, who was looking very sad.
"unki Heer???", Sia asked in confusion.
"Heer!!! Waqas Bro ki??? I thought Heer tou Prem ki hai…", Suhana scratched her head and was looking all confused.
"aur waqas bro… aap use air port kaise chor ke aa sakte hain???", YAz asked Waqas as he slowly walked towards them and sat quietly on one of the chairs.
"Duffers… kal raat sapne mein… Heer waqas bro ki girl friend thi… but woh abroad chali gayi aur bro use khud air port drop karke aaye… he is sad coz sapne mein bhi woh Heer ke saath zyada time spend nahin kar paye…", Anu explained all of them.
They all started laughing hearing this and Waqas gave them tough glares. All of them tried to control their laughter and consoled Waqas. but they couldn't hold it longer and bursted out laughters again and this time Waqas also joined them. Then they heard a loud noise of the bell ringing.
"Chalo ab ghanti baaji hai toh intezaar kis baat ki class mein chalte hain…", Anu said. All of them went to the class and saw Ayysha and Aishwarya already seated in the front followed by Maha and Noor.
The rest of them also took their places as Mrs. Rangini entered the class. Sia and Yaz were at the back covering their heads with the dupatta so that the ear-phones wouldn't be visible.
Suhana and Kavya were in the front busy updating each other about the latest happenings in bollywood while Meeshthi and Taz were discussing about some random topics and Anu and Neha were having their cat and dog fights.
The lecture finished and everyone heads hit the desk the moment Mrs.Rangini left. She had a continuous lecture for 2 hours which made everyone sleepy.
Everyone closely got up to leave. Sia decided to call everyone for the party as that thing remained undone due to continuous chatter- patter of her friends earlier that morning. She went to all her friends one by one and called them for lunch the next day to the decided Caf Town.
First she asked Aishwarya.
"Hii Aishu kal hum sab Caf town jaa rahe hain tum aaogi na?", Sia asked her.
"Kal koi important lectures nahin hai mein jaroor aaoungi lekin hum kis khushi mein jaa rahe hain?", Aishu said.
It actually hurt Sia but she thought she was being fooled so she just remained quiet.
"Mujhe yaad aaya… OMG!!! mein toh bhool hi gayi… Sia mujhe yakeen hi nahin ho raha mein itni important baat bhool sakti hoon… Kal Premeer ki shaadi huyi hai na…. mein toh bhool hi gayi humne party karne ko decide ki thi when it happens…", Aishu said snapping her head.
Sia felt bad but then gave a weak smile to Aishu and left from there while Aishu had a tough time controlling her laughter.
Sia then goes to tell Ayysha.
"kal tum aarahi hona caf town??", Sia asked.
"offcourse mein jaroor aaoungi. Mere bina khushiyaan kaise celebrate kar sakti ho tum ?", Ayysha said as she placed her arm on Sia's shoulder.
"Matlab tumhe yaad hai??", Sia asked anxiously.
"Mein kaise bhool sakti hoon…Tum meri dance competition jeetne ki khushi mein treat de rahi hona toh how I can miss it.", Ayysha said and left from there trying to suppress her giggles leaving behind a dejected Sia.
She then went to invite Maha and Noor who say that Ayysha has already told them about the party, both of them also didn't remember anything.
Sia then came to the canteen to find the rest of the gang sitting there. Taz and Meeshti left for library after Sia asked them to come to the treat. Both of them were in a hurry so none of them bothered to find out why.
Suhana, KAvya, Waqas, YAz, Neha and Anu were sitting their enjoying snacks. Sia settles down on the chair expecting at least these people to remember but in vain. All of them were too excited to go out for lunch that they started deciding the menu. Sia gives a frustrated look seeing them.
Kavya couldn't hold it anymore so she cracked up while Suhana and Yaz stomped on her feet right at the moment, converting the laugh into a cry of pain in few seconds.
"what happened?", Sia asked her worriedly.
"Oh Sia you know how much Kavya gets excited when it comes to parties… Bas thodi overexcite hogayi…", YAz replied cooly.
Yaz was all smiling and then suddenly she too let out a cry of pain.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai? Ab tum kyon chilayi…", Sia asked her.
"Meri excitement control karte karte shayad Yaz excite hogayi", KAvya said as she showed eyes to YAz.
Sia finally lost her cool and decided to leave from there before she shouts on someone. She found her friends behaviour totally shocking.
The next morning she woke up to be welcomed by her family singing out "Happy Birthday" for her. First she took her parents' blessings and then from bhaiya and bhabhi. They flooded her with presents. She quickly got ready knowing that she's already late.
She was waiting in the canteen for everyone to turn up so that they can leave for Caf town. She thought may be the others were planning in for a surprise and didn't want to disappoint them by letting out the fact that it was her birthday.
After few minutes Suhana and Neha came together singing "Marjaani marjaani". Both of them greeted Sia and then see that she's all alone.
"Hey Neha… Kavya nahin hai iska matlab hum apne SRK ke gaana bajana band karne ki jaroorat nahin… Chalo lets' keep our SRK antakshari on.. Agla gaana 'e' se…", Suhana said as she realized a breathe of content.
"Ek sooraj nikhala tha,..... jab dil se aag nikhali thi…", Neha started singing after thinking for a while.
"Dil se re dil se re.. dil se re dil se re…", someone continued the song. Both Suhana's and Neha's jaw drops when they saw the one who was singing.
"sapna toh nahin dekh rahe hain na…", both uttered together.
Then one gets a pinch from Sia and other from Yaz. Both of them shrieked loudly grabbing all the attention towards them.
"Lagta hai aaj srk ki deewani's aaj sab ka attention grab karne mein lagi hai…", KAvya said smilingly.
"sab teri wajah se. Tu gaana gaa rahi thi aur who bhi SRK ki???", Neha and Suhana said together as the hit kavya.
"Ab rahman ka gaana hai toh gayegi hi na…acha… Baaki sab kahaan hain late horahe hain", Sia replied and then asked seeing her watch.
Just then Anu joined them crying.
"Aaj subah subah hi tumne apni tap khol di… kavz jaake ek bucket toh leke aao", YAz said as she made Anu sit. Anu starts crying even more. Sia stops Yaz and then asks Anu to tell what the matter was.
"Mein actually confused hoon mujhe samaj mein nahin aaraha… Mein aaj yeh wala mobile use karoon ya yeh wala…", Anu said between her sobs as she showed two pieces of gadgets.
"God!!! Tum kabhi nahin badlo gi naa Anu???", Natasha sais as she joined them.
"dear use the one in your left hand… latest hai…", Maha had just arrived and she solved Anu's problem.
"ho gaya naa sab kuch theek… ab chalein??? Baqi sabse meri baat ho gayi thi… woh directly wahan pohnch jayein ge…", Sia said and everybody stood up to leave.
Sia, KAvya, Anu, Suhana, Neha, Maha, Natasha and YAz reached the Caf Town. They went in and saw Waqas, Taz, Meeshti and Ayysha already sitting there.
Everyone greeted eachother and they settled own.
"arey where are Aishwarya and Noor…", Sia asked.
"main tou yahan hoon yaar… Asihu ka koi idea nahin hai…", Noor said as she joined them.
"Asihu as usual… akhir mein aaye gi…", Suhana said.
"haan… we all know how punctual she is…", YAz said ironically.
"lagta hai tum mujhe bohat miss kar rahi thi YAz…", Aishwarya came and said as she gave a fake smile to YAz.
"thanx to my RAb… itne bure din nahin aaye ke main tujhe miss karon…", YAz replied.
"cut that out my sweet sisters… larr ke mood off mat karo…", Waqas interrupted.
"right you are Bhai…", KAvya said.
Then they all started deciding the Menu and that was surely a hell. All were arguing and making fun of eachothers' choices on top of their voices. Other people and the waiters were all laughing seeing the crazy gang.
Finally all of them agreed on the Menu after a heated discussion of about half an hour.
"God guys… kitna argue karte ho tum log…", Sia said as she held her head in her hands.
"haan haan… koi tou bikul argue nahin karata naa… always stays cool…", Ayysha said as winked.
"haan last time KAvya ke birthday pe kya hoa tha woh tou tum bhool gayi naa Sia???", Aishwarya asked her.
"come yar… Sia ne kahan argue kiya tha… woh tou bohat peace-loving hai…", Neha rolled her eyes.
"ya as innocent and peaceful as a dove…", Natasha added.
"Hello people… do you mind quiting the 'Grill Sia Session'… pareshaan mat karo meri dost ko…", TAz said as she hugged Sia from the side.
"oh TAz… you are such a darling… only you are my true friend… iss liye tumhein zaror yaad hoga ke yeh treat kis khushi mein hai…", Sia smiled as she tries to judge if anyone remembered or not.
"simple dear… yeh treat tou teri… oww…", Taz was about to say what was not supposed to be said but Noor pinched her arm at the right time.
"what is this Noor??? Tu bolna TAz kya keh rahi thi…", Sia showed eyes to Noor and turned towards TAz.
"Taz was saying ke treat teri… teri…", Neha tried to come up woith some excuse but wasn't successful.
"meri kya???", Sia grew impatient and raised her voice.
"tumhari… tumhari… ba ba…", Waqas also tried to say something but couldn't think of anything.
"ba ba… ba… BILLI… yes tumhari Billi…", Maha finaaly uttered something.
"Billi!!?!?! Merio billi… matlab???", a confused sia asked.
"matlab… tumhari pet cat… yani Billi… behna tum kuch bolo na…", Kavya said and then nudged Suhana to make it up.
"haan… woh tumhari billi ne aaj ke din… ek saal pehle do bache diye the… usi ki treat hai na yeh???", Suhana realesed a sigh as she came up with something.
"billi… bachche…", Sia grew sad again and all excitement vanished.
"and I thought yeh treat Premeer ki shaadi ki hai…", Aishwarya said.
"and I took it as a celebration of my dance contest winnig…", Ayysha pretended to be sad.
Just then lunch was served and every body quited talking and started eating. But then they couldn't shut up for more than few minutes, so talks started again, usual humor and leg pulling.
One of the families sitting right next to their table were so much irritated by their noises that they had to change their place plus the gang had also got a warning from the manager that they were disturbing other people.
It was very hard for them to control their selves but they did as they didn't want to be thrown out before even finishing their meal. They finshed and Sia asked for the bill.
"God!!! Guys… all of you are such big eaters naa…", Sia rolled her eyes as she paid the bill.
"apni bari mein sab ko yehi lagta hai… khud jo karte hain woh bhool jate hain…", Meeshti replied.
"exactly… ek dum sach bola tumne Meeshi…", YAz said.
"chalo guys… I think we should leave now…", Waqas said getting up.
"haan haan… lets leave… that manager is throwing deadly glares on us…", KAvya agreed to Waqas.
Sia was still expecting some surprise from them but as the time was passing she was growing more and more sad. And now when everyone was leaving she felt like crying aloud, she was much disappointed by all her friends.
All of them left one by one leaving behind a gloomy Sia along with Neha and Natasha.
"ab hum bhi chalein…", Sia said in a low voice.
"haan chalo na…", Natasha said.
"hum abhi nahin ja sakte yaar…", Neha said.
"kyon???", sia asked in confusion.
"because… we have to go to our den…", Neha replied.
"why???", Sia asked.
"coz… woh… main…", Neha couldn't think of an excuse.
"coz parso Neha apna cell whan bhool gayi thi… she needs to get that…", Natasha quickely said and put Neha's hand behind her back so that Sia couldn't see her cell phone.
"tum dono jao… main nahin ja rahi…", Sia said.
"yar car tere paas hai… le jana pare ga… warna humein taxi pe paise kharch karne parein ge…", Natasha said making a sad pout.
"ok… chalo…", Sia agreed and they left for the den.
They reached there. Natasha and Neha quickly got off the car and ran inside asking Sia to come fast. Sia nodded her head, locked the car and headed inside.
It was pitch dark inside, Sia had to put her hand on the wall to move forward. She was confused why its so dark if two people are in already.
"Natasha… Neha… kahan ho guys???", Sia said aloud.
But there was no answer. She kept on walking slowly but was growing bit scared as she felt she was hitting something with her each step.
"guys… turn on the lights at least…", Sia shouted again but still there wasn't any answer.
Sia took a deep breath and continued to walk but suddenly something fell on her which seemed to be like flower petals. Sia was scared and she started shouting.
Just then lights went on and everybody screamed together.
"Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday to you…"
Sia stood there in shock with flower petals all around her. Her eyes were wide open and jaw was dropped. The whole place was filled with colorfull balloons and beautiful decoratives; balloons were covering the whole floor.
"OMG!!! I cant believe it…. Matlab main achi khasi buddhu ban gayi tum logon ke haath… mujhe laga all of my stupid friends forgot…", Sia said after few moments.
"oh Rabz!!! Some people naa… Sia dear jab koi aap ke liye surprise party throw karta hai na tou aap use thanx kehte hain… stupid nahin bulate…", Yaz said making faces.
"exactly… ek dum fit baat boli Yaz ne…", Maha said.
"ok… ok… I am sorry… and thank you all…", Sia said holding her ears.
"dosti ka ek asool hai Madam… no sorry… no thanx…", Suhana said in total filmy style.
"arey meri SRK ki deewani behna… aaj Salman ka dialogue kyon marr rahi hai??", Kavya asked Suhana.
"Kavya dear… dialogue actually SRK ka hi tha… Sooraj Barjatia ne chura lia aur Salman ko de dia… haven't you watched Om Shaanti Om??? Sahi kaha na main ne Suhana???", Neha replied rolling her eyes and then high fived Suhana.
"come on yar… cut your filmi crap out… its Sia's Birthday… kuch masti karte hain…", Aishwarya said.
"masti!!! Per agar masti mein time waste kiya tou humara chocolate ice cream cake melt ho jaye ga…", Anu said as she frowned.
"Anu rona mat…", all of them said simulataneosly as they joined hands in front of Anu.
Just then Noor and Taz brought a huge chocolate cake. Waqas lighted the candles. Sia was about to blow them when Meeshti stopped her.
"stop stop stop…", Meeshti shouted.
Sia who had brought her face near the candles to blow them up, pulled her face back.
"kya hai???", Sia asked in an irritated voice.
"make a wish first yar…", Meeshti said.
Sia closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath, she then blew the candles and everyone clapped. She cut the cake and fed everyone.
Suddenly, Ayysha took some cake icing and put it on Sia's face.
"Ayysha… you brat… now run for your life…", Sia was shockedfirst then she also took some cake and started running after Ayysha.
"na na na… you cant catch me…", Ayysha was running around all over the place and Sia was following her.
Ayysha hid behind Taz and held her shoulders. Now Sia was trying to put the cake on Ayyshas face but every time she pushed Taz in front of her. Sia tried and tried at last she was successful.
"Yess…", Sia jumped with joy but was all quiet when she saw they cake was actually on Taz's face.
"you are dead Sia…", Taz said clattering her teeth and she quikely took a piece of cake to settle scores with Sia.
Everyone was enjoying this game. Sia was after Ayysha and Taz after Sia. Taz threw the piece of cakes towards Sia but she bent down and cake landed on Kavya's face. Kavya's laughter stopped at once and she glared TAz.
"Taz… tum nahin bacho gi…", KAvya said and threw a pice of cake towards TAz.
Taz left her spot quickely and the cake piece hit Natasha's head, who was busy chatting with Maha.
"KAVYA!!!! Main ne aaj hi hair treatment lia tha…", Natasha yelled and started running after Kavya with a piece of cake.
The cat and mouse chase was going on and during all this mess, Natasha accidently crashed into Neha and cake was all over Neha's face. Aishwarya laughed alound seeing Neha.
"GOD!!! Neha you look damn funny…", Aishwarya said laughing.
"oh! Really???", Neha asked fuming.
Then she took a piece of cake and put it on Aishwarya's face. Aishwarya's laughters halted at once.
"ab apne bare mein kya khayal hai Aishu???", Neha asked as she laughed on her.
Aishu started running after NEha. On the other hand Sia was trying to get Ayysha but she smeared the cake on Suhana's face accidently. Suhana tried to get Sia but Noor came in her way. Noor tried to get Suhana but her shot missed and cake was all over Waqas's face. Waqas tried to get her but he also missed and Yaz became his target. Anu and Meeshti were left clean and they were laughing at all others but soon they were also the part of chase as few pieces also landed on them.
Now everyone was all messy and running after eachother. The beautiful decorated hall now look liked a battle ground. The game went on for more than an hour and they stopped when the cake was finished.
Everyone looked at eachother started laughing aloud. All of them ran towards the washroom to clean up themselves. Who will use the washroom first was another war fare, but somehow they decided their turns after heated arguments and cleaned up.
"thanx a lot guys… main yeh surprise kabhi nahin bholon gi…", Sia said as they all gathered in the hall after cleaning up.
"come on yar… abhi surprise pora nahin hoa… thanx bacha ke rakho…", Yaz said.
"abhi kuch rehta hai kya?", Sia asked excitedly.
"yes sis… abhi tumne apna grand gift tou dekha hi nahin…", Waqas said as he and Suhana carried a huge frame covred with a cloth and placed it in front of Sia.
"Sia… jaldi khol le jaani… bohat bhari tha… main tou thak gayi utha ke…", Suhana said.
"yeh kya hai???", Sia asked.
"aam ka pair (tree) hai…", Maha replied making faces.
"WHAT?!?!", Sia was confused.
"come on Sia… aise falto sawal kare gi tou jawab bhi falto hi milein ge… cant you see gift hai tera…", KAvya replied.
"OK… chill hyper kyon ho rahi hai… main ne tou yunhi pocha tha…", Sia said as she walked towards the huge gift.
She untied the ribbon and the cloth which was covering it fell down.
"OMG!!!", Sia exclaimed after seeing the frame.
It was a full size poster of Harshad Chopra with a message written on one corner of it.
"bol bol… kaisa laga???", Anu asked excitedly.
"wonderfull…", Sia replied.
"arey special message tou parh na…", Noor said.
Sia read the note, it said.
"Happy Birthday… to the biggest fan of mine… may you get all the happiness you desire and you have many more birthdays like this one…
Love,
Prem Juneja."
"is it really from him??? OMG!!! But it says Prem Juneja…", Sia said.
"arey yar poch mat kitni mehnat karni pari hai tere is special gift ke liye…", Aishu said.
"haan pehle tou pora ek hafta… BT studios ke chakkar lagane pare… takey kissi tarah Harshad ka deedar ho sake…", Suhana continued.
"aur phir jab confirm hoa ke ander uski shoot chal rahhi tou God knows kya kya ker ke hum ander gaye…", KAvya told her.
"chaukidar aur receptionist ko kaise ullo banaya woh tou pochna hi mat…", Ayysha said.
"aur hello… humne spot boys ko bribe bi kiya tha… jiske paise tum sab ne share karne the… per diye sirf main ne…", Anu said frowning.
"haan lekin sab se zyada stupid kaam tha… Harshad se baat karna…", Waqas said.
"arey HArshad se baat karna stupid nahin hai yar… its like a dream come true you idiots…", Sia interrupted.
"chup kar ke kahani suney gi tou pata chale ga na ke stupid kyon tha…", Meeshti rolled her eyes.
"stupid iss liye tha ke we had to convince him ke woh Harshad ban ke nahin balke Prem ban ke autograph de…", Yaz said.
"haan bohat hansa woh yeh sun kar… hum ne bari mushkil se use convince kiya ke humari friend Harshad se zyada Prem ki deewani hai… then he agreed…", Nehas said.
"whatever… per ek baat hai… off screen aur bhi handsome lagta hai…", Ayysha and Aishwarya said together in a dreamy voice.
"aur phir…", Sia asked impatiently.
"phir kya… usne apni photo pe message likh ke sign kiya… aur hum ne iss ka full size frame banwa lia…", Waqas said concluding the story.
"Guys… you all are best friends one can get… I love you all…", Sia said as all of them shared a group hug.
"chalo guys… its party time…", Yaz said aloud as she turned on the music.
All of them started dancing and enjoying themselves. The party continued till mid night and then all of them dispersed.
This was the best birthday party Sia ever had.
