“My nose hurts”
She laughs from the other end.
“What are you laughing
at huh?”
Smiling she says “Told
you before to not start a fight with my brother”
“Yeah, I am feeling
that already...Ow!”
“Aww...Baby did that hurt much?”
“You say much? He
punched me right on my face!”
She continues to laugh.
“...and that is not
even funny”
“Okay...sorry”
“By the way, what are
you doing tomorrow?”
“Its 9 pm now...all I can think is of sleep
now”
“Oh common...we can have
lunch or dinner together at least...the more the time, the better that is”
“Oh don’t you grin on this”
“I am certainly not”
“Manav...I know you are doing that right now”
He smiles. He likes it when she catches him doing that.
“Anyway I can’t go tomorrow...my brothers
are here”
“Brothers? Gosh...how
many do you have?”
Laughing she replies “Honey,
I have many brothers”
“But still, how many?”
“All you should know that three of them are
here at home to meet me”
“Damn...”
“Scared much huh? hehehe”
“Hmm...They should be”
She laughs. He loves her smile.
“Talk to you later okay...my brothers are
calling...bye”
And just like that she cut the call before he could say
anything. Funny, because if we guys do the same kind of act; then it would
result in a lot of drama. You wouldn’t even know what and where you did wrong.
The girl gets unnecessarily mad and the only thing
that would cheer her up is your head on a spike.
Dropping the call she heads to downstairs to meet her
brothers.
“Damn...he hit him really hard” smiling,
as she murmurs to self while heading down the stairs.
“Hey” and
greetings started to pour in as she meets them finally after a year.
This is her one time of the year were she spends some good time
with her dear brothers together. She is happy.
3...2...1...yay...Happy Birthday!
“Congrats Pooja” as everyone started wishing her.
“I just got older though” she seemed
obvious but was cheerful to the utmost.
It’s her birthday today. She generally does not celebrate
the same. To her it’s more like a day older. But everything else doesn’t matter
when she sits on the dinner table on her most special day of the year. Her eyes
simply lits up to the sight of the delicacies that her brothers make with their
own hands, never ceases to amaze her.
Well growing old is mandatory while growing up is optional
isn’t it?
“It’s so wonderful” she says as she gulps in everything she could
have within her reach.
Quite the princess she is to her elder brother except for the
fact that she loves that guy he doesn’t like; the guy who lodged a complaint against
him, resulting in his one month suspension from college. All he did was rag...what’s
the big deal!
The dinner is over and it is time to sleep. She hugs
everyone and thanks her for the good meal and then proceeds to her room upstairs.
While she sets the door shut, someone grabs her from behind
which unsettles her completely and she lets out a loud cry: “Ahhh” while looking behind at the same
time.
“Surprise maybe?” Manav
says after shivering from the sound of her cry.
“Seriously, what are you doing here” she
asked being puzzled as she tries to calm herself.
“I came to wish my
girl happy birthday” smiling he replies while there is a huge knock on her
door.
“God, you are mad...now hide somewhere”
“Where”
“Somewhere...okay go hide inside
that closet”
“Okay” he whispers
while she slowly opens the door.
She could see her brother carrying a very concerned face
looking at her wondering what made her scream out so loud in the middle of the
night.
“What happened?” He asked.
“Nothing...I almost fell” she replies.
“That was some loud
noise...you sure you are okay?” he quizzed as he tries to scan her room
from outside.
“Yes, absolutely...hehehe...quite stupid of
me though. Don’t worry”
Taking a pause he says “Okay,
if you say so. Goodnight”
“Goodnight” she says while carrying a
smile as she closes the door.
“Phew...that was close” Manav says as he grabs her from
behind while coming out of the closet.
Smiling
she says “oho...stop it”
“Happy Birthday”
he says kissing her cheek.
“Thank
you” she replies planting a simple kiss on his hand.
Releasing his hold she asks “And by the way, how did you come to my room?”
Smiling he says “I
improvised”
“You
used the pipes again, didn’t you?”
“Yeah...I finally have mastered it now” he says showing the
sense of pride in his act.
There was an uncanny pause in between them now as they were
just looking at each other silently.
He breaks the silence by asking her “Hey, can I stay here tonight?”
“No” she replies
“Yes” he giggled
“No...Absolutely not” she asserted
firmly.
“Oh common...no one
will know”
“You should go...my brothers are here
remember”
“Ugh...all the trouble
I took to meet you in the middle of the night and here you are pushing me away.
Might as well push me out of the window”
“Hehehe...I can try that”
“Are you serious now?”
She could see the fire in his
eyes. The fire that was engulfing her slowly but she wanted more of it...she
wanted to be lost in his eyes. She brings forth her hand and slowly touches his
fingers brushing it aside a little. The conversation of the fingers was the
best thing she could feel right now, yet she craved more.
“Okay...an hour max” she says.
“...or two” he
replies as he comes forward to kiss his girl ever so passionately.
The tension was in the air as it was getting hotter around
them.
“Perhaps we should
bring down the curtains”
“You had to say something don’t you...god...you
are such an ass”
“Oh common, what did I
do? Rather, I think that being done is necessary maybe” he smiles.
“...and happy
birthday...if I didn’t say that before” he continued as she pushed him down
to her bed saying
“Shut up”
A little less conversation and a little more...
...less conversation maybe. Hehehe...
I think the year would end on a good note.
***
Happy Birthday...Again! ☺
