Sameer was trying to figure out which suit he should wear for D-Day and was looking at his open closet. "Kya soch rahe ho?" Naina came in and looked at Sameer. "Soch Raha hoon kaisa suit pehnu jo Ray Ko accha Lage." He said thoughtfully. "Meri baat toh maanoge nahi but Ray loves you in anything you wear, even in that dirty pink shirt." Naina said making a face. "Aye! That's my favourite pink shirt. Kuch nahi kehna tum." Sameer was defensive about it leaving Naina giggle. Naina took her Saree from the cupboard and left to take a shower leaving Sameer still confused on what to wear.
Elsewhere in Imaan Chowki, Gopi, Billu and Gulgule were trying to learn their dance steps for the dance that they prepared for their beloved Ray. Just then Chandramukhi entered and and everyone saluted her. "Nahi, ye chowki na se. Ye dance bar ho Raha se. Kar lo tum log dance apna.!" She said annoyed. " Well Mom, aaj hai Ray ka birthday is the, humko banana hai usko good day is the." Gopi said. "Ray ka birthday se? Aaj 9 December se? Kaam ke chakkar mein manne yaad Na Raha. What are you waiting for Christmas? Jaldi karo taiyyari." Chandramukhi too went to get some special gift Ray.
"Amu, get ready fast. I don't want to be late." Dulquer looked at his watch. "What fast? Ray ke birthday pe kaise bhi Chali jaau kya? Huh. You go out and wait. Lemme get ready." Amal said in annoyance. Dulquer made face and left with Maryam to the living area not before telling her to get ready fast otherwise he'll leave her and go because he just can't afford to get late on birthday of someone so special.
"Naina, why did you wear this? It's not matching with my clothes." Sameer complained. "Haan toh go change." Naina brushed her hair and said nonchalantly. "Maine itni Mehnat se decide Kiya what I'll wear and you saying to go change? Not fair!" Sameer said and blew air to remove the hair from his face. "Accha okay, I'll go change! Don't make face now. But hum late hue toh mujhe mat kehna." Naina said. "Wait. I'll go change. Nahi toh tum kal hi ready ho paaogi." He said that under his breath.
Su was running here and there to get things right. She was stressing over the arrangements that were half done. "Bhaiya kya parson hoga sab kuch? Ray naraaz hui na toh Maine sabke muh tod dene hain. Huh!" She said to the event manager. "No Ma'am Abhi sab complete ho jaayega. Don't worry." He said but she was still very annoyed. "Su, chill. Don't stress so much." Sims said and gave Su a glass of water. "Haan toh bhai, when will you finish it? New year tak? Sab log aane wale honge aur Inka kuch hua hi nahi hai. Wow! Very good." Sims blasted on the manager. "Sims, relax!" Su said to Sims and chuckled. "Kya hai?" Sims asked. "Tu mujhe shaant hone Ko bol Rahi thi." Su bursted out laughing and so did Sims.
"Mujhe nahi karna hai dance is the, kahin meri pant na gir jaaye by chance is the." Gopi said lifting his trouser. "Budhau Sahi keh Raha se. Kahin pant punt gir gayi toh ghani bezzati ho jaani se." Chandramukhi said. "Madam, beizzatti toh unki Hoti hai jinki koi izzat Hoti hai na." Billu said looking at Gopi. "Well." Gopi looked at him. "Tu ghana phoot Raha se." Chandramukhi glared at Billu. "Well mom, Main kar lunga shayri is the, Ray hai bahut Pyaari is the." Gopi smiled.
In other part of the world, Ray was in her room thinking of how to skip getting her pockets empty on the name of her birthday. She liked her birthday minus the fact that she had to feed her friends. That was the worst part of it. But anyway, as usual, she got up late in the morning and was getting ready for college and stuffed in more than usual money in her wallet today, had her breakfast and left. It was sad day for her, already! Her best friend didn't even message her to wish her birthday let alone call her. She was mad at her but could do nothing.
Suparna was as usual looking at her phone talking to Hash (manjhe me) and telling her how excited she is for the birthday party, as usual. Suparna is one impatient soul (🤣). Su had told her to get ready on time but Suparna being Suparna was already running late and she cared no more. It was only after a Dhamki bhara call from Su that she wished Hash a quick bye and left to get ready, of course, not before messaging her padhayi partner Prachi to get herself some books taaki dono koi Kona pakad ke mast padhayi kar sakein. (🤣🤣)
Su and Sims looked at each other and smiled proudly at the decoration. "Sassy sissys did it!" They said in unison. "Mujhe itni Khushi ho Rahi hai." Sims said, wiping the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes. Even Su did the same. Both of them left to get ready for the party leaving behind few of the workers wondering what happened to these two young ladies.
"Main toh pehle hi keh Rahi thi koi nahi aaya hoga Abhi." Naina said and looked at Sameer. "Arre toh kya hua. Lagna chahiye ki hum pehle aaye because we love her the most." Sameer said to cover up. "Sorry, but I love Ray the most." Dulquer came from behind and said. "Accha? Aap hain Kaun ye decide karne wale?" Sameer lost it totally! "Jab aap chod ke Gaye the usko toh Maine sambhala tha." Dulquer smirked. Sameer couldn't meet his eyes. Their wives were just looking at each other and then at their husbands and shaking their heads.
"Bigg Boss chahte hain ki Sameer aur Dulquer confession room mein aayein!" They heard a voice. "Really? You think so that we'll believe this? Come out who's this speaking?" Sameer said. "Bigg Boss..." The voice was again going to say something but was cut short by Chandramukhi Chautala. "Re tu ghana bigg Boss ho Raha hai? Chup kar Jaa nahi toh thaari iklauti aankh bhi manne phodne mein time nahi lagega." She said along with her entry with her team. "Chup ho jaao aap is the, aa gayi hai tumhari baap is the." Gopi said.
Ray was sitting by the river Padma and looking sad. She had marked her attendance in class and left after one lecture to just spend some time with herself. She looked at the river that was shining like diamond in the sun rays. She was still looking and taking in the beautiful view when someone from behind closed her eyes. "Kaun hai?" She said, terrified for a moment but the touch wasn't scary. It wasn't known either but not uncomfortable at all. "Guess who?" She heard the person say. The voice was never heard before. "I don't know." She said, holding the hand. The person removed the hand and sat beside her. "Nahi pehchana na?" She heard this girl say. "Hash?" Ray asked, surprised, shocked and all the good things in just that moment. "Ahaan! Hashtag, in person!" She heard this girl say and chuckle. Ray, looked happy but didn't know what to say nor did Hash know what was she supposed to say. This face to face thing was different for both of them. "Happy birthday." Ray heard Hash say. There was no eye contact made. It was awkward, very awkward. "There's something for you, but you have to come with me." Hash said. "Okay." Ray said. Both of them got up, catched a rickshaw to reach to the party venue.
"Su, we are just outside." Su received a message on her phone and she told that to everyone. Everyone took their position and waited for Ray to come inside. Once they heard her coming in, the lights were switched on and everyone shouted together, "Surprise!" She was startled to see every LTG member there and looked around for Hash to hold onto her but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Happy birthday Ray." She could see very tall and equally handsome Dulquer walking towards her. She was about to fall but then she saw Sameer walking towards her too. "Well, main bhi karunga wish is the, Ray Ko nahi pasand hai fish is the." She saw Gopi lifting his pant up and she chuckled. "Bigg Boss ki taraf se Ray Ko janmdin ki bahut bahut Mubarakbaad." She heard this heavy voice say and then everyone just jumped on her to wish. She got so scared that she was about to run when she felt someone holding the corner of her dress. She looked down and it was Maryam smiling at her happily. "Aappy Birlday Lay." She said in her baby voice and showed her front milk teeth, leaving Ray full of love for the little baby. She gathered herself and thanked anyone and everyone proceeded to cut the cake that Su had baked especially. And, it's another long story on how much all the girls drooled over Sameer and Dulquer leaving both of them embarrassed.

@Ray, I don't know if it was worth it or not but somehow, I just wanted to bring in a little smile on your face with this one shot. I hope I was successful. I don't understand what should I say, you think I'm expressive, but I'm not. You mean a lot to me, just know that. Happy birthday🤗. I Love you❤️
