Divyanshi's Birthday

As the day before Divyanshi's birthday unfolded, Ridhansh couldn't shake the sight of her subdued demeanor. He knew how much she missed her family, especially on such occasions. Determination welled up within him to turn her sadness into joy with a midnight surprise.

As the clock struck midnight, Ridhansh texted Divyanshi, urging her to open her door. When she did, she found him standing there, a warm smile lighting up his face.

"Divyanshi, come with me," Ridhansh said softly, extending his hand to her.

Divyanshi's eyes widened in surprise, but she took his hand without hesitation, a glimmer of curiosity dancing in her eyes. Ridhansh led her to his apartment, where a magical scene awaited her.

The room was adorned with twinkling fairy lights, colorful balloons, and a tantalizing aroma wafted through the air. In the center of it all stood a homemade cake, decorated with care and love.

Divyanshi's eyes filled with tears as she took in the sight before her, overwhelmed by the sheer thoughtfulness of Ridhansh's gesture.

"I... I don't know what to say," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

Ridhansh gently wiped away her tears, his touch sending shivers down her spine. "You don't have to say anything," he murmured, his voice filled with tenderness. "Just know that you're special to me, Divyanshi, and I wanted to make your birthday unforgettable."

As they stood there, bathed in the soft glow of the fairy lights, Divyanshi felt a warmth spreading through her chest, a feeling of belonging and connection that she had longed for without even realizing it.

Unable to hold back her emotions any longer, Divyanshi threw her arms around Ridhansh, pulling him into a tight hug. Ridhansh wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as they shared a moment of pure love and warmth.

In that embrace, surrounded by the soft glow of the fairy lights and the sweet scent of the cake, Divyanshi felt a surge of gratitude wash over her. Despite being away from her family, she knew that she wasn't alone. She had Ridhansh by her side, a source of strength and solace.

As they pulled away from each other, their eyes met, and in that silent exchange, they knew that their bond had deepened in ways they couldn't yet fully comprehend.

Ridhansh gently wiped away the tears from Divyanshi's cheeks, his touch comforting and reassuring. "should we cut the cake now?" he asked softly, his voice filled with warmth.

Divyanshi nodded, her heart overflowing with gratitude. Together, they approached the table where the cake sat, its sweet aroma filling the room with a sense of anticipation.

Ridhansh picked up the knife, his hand steady as he prepared to cut the cake. Divyanshi watched him with a smile, her heart swelling with affection for the man who had gone above and beyond to make her birthday special.

As Divyanshi made the first cut, Divyanshi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This simple act of sharing a cake together felt like a symbol of their friendship, a bond that had only grown stronger with each passing day.

With a gentle smile, Ridhansh handed Divyanshi a slice of cake, their fingers brushing against each other in a fleeting yet electrifying touch.

"Happy birthday, Divyanshi," Ridhansh said, his eyes sparkling with joy. "May this year be filled with love, laughter, and endless happiness."

Touched by his words, Divyanshi felt her heart swell with emotion. "Thank you, Ridhansh," she replied, her voice soft yet filled with sincerity. "For everything."

As they savored their cake together, basking in the warmth of each other's company, Divyanshi knew that this birthday would be one she would never forget. And as she looked into Ridhansh's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope for the future, knowing that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hand in hand.
