"Malharji, aaj mujhe shopping jaana hai, Pillu ke birthday ke liye bohot cheezein khareedni hai."
"Hum saath chalenge lunch ke baad aur Moksh ke liye acha sa dress bhi lenge."
"Hmm….toh main list bana leti hun, kya kya mangana hai. Sirf do din bache, bohot sare arrangements karne hai."
They went shopping and Kalyani bought the things she required for a party of toddlers and gifts for the little ones. Malhar was curious what she was going to do with ice-cream sticks, scotch tapes, bean bag ball, colourful balls, a big basket and acrylic paints.
"Kalyani in sab cheezon se kya karne wali ho?"
"Ye sab bachon ke games ke liye hai."
"Games… ghar ke andar? Pura ghar kharaab karne ka idea hai? "
"Are Malharji, ghar kharaab na ho isliiye toh games khelna zaroori hai. Warna chote bache khud masti ke alawa kya karenge? Sochiye."
"Ye sab karne ki zaroorat kya hai. Hum simple tarike se bhi celebrate kar sakte hain na."
"Malharji, dekhiye aapko bhi bohot maza aayega. Just chill. Games mujhpe chod dijiye."
"Itne sare balloons kaun blow karne wala hai?"
"Aap tension kyun le rahe hain, balloon pump pata nahi kya aapko? Usse balloons jaldi blow kar sakte hain. Ghar jaake dikhati hun aapko. "
They bought some dresses for Moksh and next went on to order the birthday cake.
"Kitna der laga rahi ho Kalyani, ek cake hi toh choose karna hai. Simple vanilla ya chocolate nahi choose kar sakti kya?"
Kalyani was seeing the pictures of cakes with Pillu's favourite cartoon characters. She ignored Malhar's comments and asked her son,
"Pillu tumhe kaunsa pasand hai, mickey mouse, Pluto, Dora, paw patrol, minions, angry bird, smurfs, Tom and Jerry." She pointed out the pictures one by one for him to choose. "Jaldi se ek ko haath lagao."
Moksh chose a picture with Mickey Mouse and pluto together and they placed their order.
After they reached home, Kalyani put all the shopping bags in her study room. She stood there in the centre visualising how she would set it up. Later after Moksh had slept, Malhar went into the study and found her doing something on the laptop. He went closer and saw that she was creating some designs.
"Kya kar ri ho?"
"Dekhiye, ye acha hai na?"
"Haan, par hai kya ye?"
"Oh ! ye main Pillu ke birthday party ka invitation design kar ri hun. Kitnaaaa…..cute hai na?"
"Invitation? Moksh ka birthday hai, uski shaadi nahi ho rahi hai."
"Birthday parties ke liye bhi invite karte hain."
"Do saal ke bachon ke liye invitation? Unhe ye sab padna aayega kya? Kyun apna wakt barbaad kar ri ho? Unke parents ko phone pe invite nahi kar sakte?"
"Thank god ki aap party plan nahi kar rahe hain. Aapko kuch nahi aata. Moksh ko isme khushi milegi jab woh apne friends ko ye invitation dega. Unhe Padne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, parents pad lenge. Bachon ko sirf iss design aur cartoon se matlab hai."
"Acha… "
"Aap so jayiye, mujhe bohot kaam hai."
It took her the whole night and the next day to finish all her arrangements. Even after she was done, she kept the study room locked so that Moksh couldn't gain entry. She had made Moksh hand out the invites to his little friends from the park and his daycare while she spoke to the parents of those kids.
Saturday…...Moksh's birthday dawned.
Moksh was stirring from his sleep when his Aai picked him up from the bed. " Happy Birthday mela baby. Two years ka big boy ho gaya tu." she kissed his cheeks.
His Baba was holding his arms out and Moksh jumped into his father's arms. "Happy Birthday mera bacha." Baba kissed the top of his head tenderly stroking his hair. Moksh was feeling happy though he really didn't understand what a birthday meant.
Aai gave him a bath and made him wear a new dress. Moksh was happily running here and there in the house when the door bell rang.
Nani, Aazoba and Swara aatya had come. Moksh ran to his aazoba who picked him up and danced with him in his arms and everyone was singing "Happy Birthday to you……." Moksh was jumping in joy clapping his hands, happy to see everyone and get attention from them. He also began singing in his own way, "Apy baday Moch..." All had put their hands over their mouth hearing him sing. Nani, Aazoba and Aatya gave him gifts.
Anupriya and Swara were busy in the kitchen preparing the food while Sarthak and Kalyani blew up balloons and decorated the living room. Malhar was busy trying to keep Moksh away from the decorations. Finally, he just took Moksh out for a while to let the others work peacefully.
Aao Saheb, Pallavi, Nal and Goda had come too. Pallavi joined Anupriya and Swara while Nal and Goda helped Kalyani. Aao Saheb settled herself down and supervised everything with comments of her own.
In the evening, the doorbell kept ringing and each time he saw one by one all his friends walk in, Moksh's joy knew no bounds. Malhar and Kalyani welcomed their son's friends and their parents into their home. The kids were all super excited and they started jumping, hopping, rolling doing whatever else they could to express their happiness. It was a treat for all of them to have joined forces.
Kalyani and Malhar moved around and made all their guests feel welcome. The birthday cake with two candles was placed on a small table with Moksh standing in between and both his parents were kneeling beside him. His little friends stood close to him and they helped him blow out the candles amidst all the cheers and claps. Kalyani held her son's hand to cut the cake and gave him the first bite. Malhar also fed his son with a little bite. Swara then took the cake inside to make small portions for all the little guests and bigger portions for others.
Kalyani collected her little guests and led them to the games room she had set up in her study.
First she put on rhymes and asked them to follow her steps. The little ones were happy to jump around. Then she played her version of Simon Says. As she called out Kalyani Says, jump all the little ones jumped, Kalyani Says laugh, clap, hold your hands….she kept calling out. Once she felt the kids were done with it she again put on music to rejuvenate them.
In the second game, she kept a big bucket and kneeled down beside it. There was a basket of colourful balls. Malhar and Nal made the little ones queue up, pick up one ball at a time and aim it at the bucket. Each kid got at least 10 turns before they ended the game.
Meanwhile the adult guests were having a good time chatting amongst themselves and with the other family members. They were relaxed that they didn't have to run around behind their little ones. Sarthak, Anupriya and Swara made sure they were well entertained. They began enjoying the lovely homemade dinner without having to keep looking around if their kids were being naughty.
After 2 games, the kids were taken out for dinner which their parents took care to feed them.
The cutie pies returned back after having dinner to play another game. This time there were painted plastic cups stacked in rows and they were helped by Malhar and Nal to use a bean bag ball to aim and make the stack fall. They clapped their hands in glee each time they made the stack fall.
It was time for the final game and Kalyani handed out the tennis bats she had made by taping ice-cream sticks to paper plates. She had painted the paper plates in different colors and cartoon faces. She brought out some balloons and taught them to hit it with the bats. They played balloon tennis which Kalyani, Malhar, Swara, Nal and Goda also had fun playing the kids.
At last the party had come to an end, the little ones were all sleepy and tired as their parents carried them taking their leave. All the kids were holding a bag of goodies in their hand. After the guests had left, together they cleared up the house and the other family members also left.
Moksh was also very tired after all the fun he had, that he dozed off quickly with a cute and satisfied smile on his face which highlighted his dimples.
Both had changed and Kalyani made coffee for both of them. She handed a cup to him as both of them sat together comfortably. Sipping the coffee Kalyani asked, "Aapko maza aaya na bachon ke saath khelte wakt?"
He smiled thinking about how much he had enjoyed himself. "Haan bohot, actually ye games ka idea acha tha warna bechare bache kya karte."
"Hmm.. pata hai, aaj aapke dimples bhi ache se dekh payi main. Pillu ke dimples aur aapke same to same hai, cute." she pulled his cheeks.
"Moksh ka din Tumne bohot special banaya Kalyani. Moksh ko sab se best Aai mili hai." he set aside the coffee cups and pulled her into his arms.
While they were losing themselves in each other's eyes, the clock struck twelve and Malhar lowered his head to whisper into her ears, "Happy Anniversary Mrs Kalyani Malhar Rane, I love you." He kissed her cheeks.
Kalyani had tears of joy in her eyes as she wished him too, "Happy Anniversary Malharji, I love you too." she hugged him tightly.
He brought out a slender gold chain with a heart shaped pendant between which were the letters K and M, putting it around her neck. She touched her neck and felt the letters. "It's beautiful Malharji. Thank you." she lay her head on his chest.
"Agle hafte hum kahin ja rahe hain. Main toh kal hi jaana chahta tha par chutti nahi mili."
"Kahan jaanewale hain hum?"
"Abhi nahin bataunga. Chutti confirm hone ke baad bata doonga."
Kalyani got up and went in for a few minutes. When she returned she was holding something in her hand. "Mere paas bhi aapke liye kuch hai." she handed him a wrapped gift.
He took the time to open it neatly and saw an album. There were pictures of their many special moments with each other be it anger, fun and love. They browsed through it together remembering each and every one of those moments. "Thank you Kalyani, it's very special to us." He lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, gently laying her down on the bed. As he laid down beside her, she rested her head on his shoulder putting her arm around him. Their heavy eyelids shut themselves but their hearts brimmed with love.
