Daya P.O.V.:

It's been 2 weeks we've returned to our routine...but the routine wasn't the same..for me it changed from office to visiting a different mall everyday..I must be the only guy who's shopaholic...I wanted to give her the best birthday ever and compensate for all these years I have been with her...I thought about the gifts day and night and I'm finally ready with everything... today's 16 January..two days away from our birthday..I've got a lot in the box for you Shreya...I pack my bags for a whole month....I'm coming...
Shreya P.O.V.:
Ever since I came back after the new year that's almost week..I've been looking for gifts for Daya...it's our first birthday together...I want to make it very memorable for him...Right now..I'm having dinner with my family..mom asks "Shreya...where are you going in the evenings... Tasha told me that you leave the office by 4 but you only reach home at 7:30 or later! What's happening?" I answer"Mom..umm... I...I have been going out to shopping.. I've been searching for gifts for Daya.." I say it nervously...and everyone fake coughs..I say "Come on guys...it's nothing great..I mean.. there's nothing to tease..." and they all laugh...I then go to the room...I call Purvi..

" Hi Purvi!!" I greet her..."Hi bhabhi" she greets me back..I say "Purvi..I need your help.. would you actually write a letter to Daya about whatever you want to tell him..I want to gift him letters for his birthday from everyone..." she says "Sure bhabhi.. great idea.." we then talk for sometime and hang up..

I then inform all the people who need to write letters then start browsing the net for more ideas...we both never spent a day without talking with each other at least once a day...we were very excited for the upcoming events...our birthday..the long trip..and our future together....I am so happy with him now...I can't imagine how happy I'll be with him in the future... I've found my man...

10 days later :
The day after tomorrow is our birthday and I've been running around frantically arranging all the gifts...I just want to give him the best birthday ever... I've even missed office the last two days... I call Tasha and say "Tasha..I'm am sorry for not coming to the office since two days..you know it's Daya's birthday day after tomorrow and I've been running around...just tell me if there's any work... I'll work from home.." she says "Babe cool down.. I've done the same thing when it was Sid's birthday...so chill.. continue with your work..I'll handle everything here.." I say "No..do one thing...go home..take a half day..and pack your bags... you'll need to pack for a full month...so it'll take a lot of time... no..no..do one thing...go home right now after handing over all the work and assigning it..I'll be at your home in an hour..I'll help you pack and then you help me back..." she says "Babe...first cool down..I'll leave to home in a few minutes...and don't get hyper..." I say "Fine..bye.." and hang up the call...I check on the gifts once again...I recieved all the letters too..I asked them to post it...

Once I was done I move to Tasha's house...I enter and say "Hello Aunty..." to Tasha's mom..she says "Hi Shreya..long time.." I say "yes aunty... caught up with stuff.." she was close to me since my childhood...I go up to see Tasha waiting for me and we start packing without wasting any time...we had loads of work..we almost loaded two huge suitcases...we then moved to my place with the suitcases after bidding bye to Aunty and uncle as Tasha would be staying with me that night and we'd be leaving tomorrow morning...

We went to my home and packed...I had almost two huge suitcases plus another medium suitcase with my foot wear..I didn't carry any fancy foot wear...just shoes and one or two heels because this was an adventure trip...plus a backpack...

Next morning :

We were leaving to mussoorie today.. that's where the farm house we'll be in the next two days is...I ensured that all the gifts were being transported there...all the ones I could carry in the car are already there..only the ones which needed better transportation were sent with packers and movers..again I ensured everything was perfect...
