The week passed in the birthday preparations. Everyone was busy in their own planning except mukti who had no clue about the happenings. All the plans were discussed among friends. Cabir and navya offered to help abhimanyu. Manik was unaware about this and he had not got time to talk to abhimanyu. It had skipped nandini's mind too , to inform abhimanyu about manik's approval.

Friday night
11: 50 p.m.

"hello mukti" nandini spoke, panic clear in her voice.

"ha nandini , kya hua?? U sound stressed..." mukti replied over the phone

"mukti please jaldi upar ao...manik ki tabiyat theek ni lag rahi...please" nandini pleaded

"nandini relax, main arahi hun...mai mom dad ko v lekar ati hun...just relax...ok...main arahi hu" mukti replied and till now she had reached in front of her mom dad's room.

"nahi, nahi...mukti.." nandini spoke hurriedly and mukti stopped just before knocking on the door ,"mukti, suno..maa-papa ko araam karne do...bas tum ajao for now, agar kuch serious hua toh unhe bulaenge..ok?" nandini spoke calmly

"ok..ok...i am coming" mukti ran to reach to nandini.

Mukti reached and pushed the main door, it was open , she entered inside, it was dark.

"nandini" mukti called out, she could hear shuffling sounds. Just then lights got on.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUKTI!!!"

Maan, neyonika, manik, nandini, cabir, navya, Dhruv, aliya shouted together and mukti was taken aback for a moment. She palmed her mouth in excitement "oh my god!!" she said and looked towards her friends and family before laughing whole heartedly and speaking "thank you".

Everyone hugged and wished her.

"how was the surprise mukti???" aliya asked

"truly speaking i was startled! Thank you , thanks a lot!!" mukti said emotionally

"tu apna birthday bhul gyi thi??" manik asked her patting her head and side hugging her.

"arey ni...i remembered till 15 minutes ago, but jaise nandini ka call aya , i panicked and forgot everything" mukti explained

"i am sorry, but mujhe isse better idea ni mil raha tha tumhe yaha bulane ka without you suspecting my intentions" nandini said and pouted

"arey its ok nandini...i loved the surprise though" mukti spoke cheerfully .

"but tumhe bura ni laga that no one mentioned even a word about your birthday??" navya asked

"no navya, its been 3-4 years , none of us has celebrated a mid night birthday party...so i wasn't expecting it...its quite refreshing" mukti replied with a tinge of regret as because of her, this tradition had stopped.

"then we should thank nandini for restarting this tradition.." cabir spoke and all of them smiled at nandini.

While she acknowledged their thanks with a smile.

"arey mera cake kaha h???" mukti asked excitedly

Nandini smiled and went towards the kitchen while rest of them gathered around the table , laughing, talking , enjoying. Soon nandini came back with a home made cake and placed on the table.
