Sameeksha's POV
I was mad at Abhishek but forgave him as he's birthday was coming up. Manjot Bhaiya helped me to plan something special.

I called Abhishek, "Hello ji?" He said in a teasing tone.

"Zada drama karne ki zarurat nhi hai. Me neeche khadi hu, bina sawaal jawaab kiye bahar aao, kahi jaana hai" I said, "par ka..." He was stopped by me, "Bye" I said and hung up.

I saw him coming towards my car after good 40 minutes. "Badi jaldi padhare" I said sarcastically, "socha tum intezaar kar rhi hogi, to jaldi aa gaya" He replied wearing his seat belt.

"Sharam to aati nhi hogi?" I asked, "guess what?" He said, "bech khai mene" He finished.

I just kept quiet and started the engine.

"Kaha jaa rahe hai ham?" He asked, "hai ek jagah" I said, "tumhari jagah?" He asked with a smirk, "naughty, I like it" He said.

"Car se bahar fenk dungi agar bakwaas ki" I warned, "faltu insaan" I said looking at the road.

"Faltu hota to tum haan nhi karti" He said. "Whatever" I finished the conversation.

"Itna to batado door hai ya pass?" He asked, "door" I said.

"To me thodi der so jau? Practice se aake araam nhi kia" He said with a puppy face. I nodded. He closed his eyes.

"Hey" He said after sometime, I hummed in response, "batao na kaha leke jaa rhi ho" He said. I chuckled.

"Tumse wait nhi hota kya? So jao chup chaap" I said, "so mean" He said and closed his eyes again.

It was almost 9pm, I was tired after driving for 98km. "Come on, just 43km to go" I said to myself.

"Paani chahiye?" I heard Abhishek's voice, "tum soe nhi the?" I asked surprised.

"Thoda soya, fir uth gaya. Kucch bolta to tum daant deti, to socha ese hi pada rahu" He replied.

"Aww mah babyyy" I said pulling his cheeks, "yaar gaal mat kheecho, auntia kheecha karti thi bachpan me. Tab se chidh ho geyi hai" He said making me laugh.

"Me drive karu?" He asked like a gentleman, "tum drive karoge to tumhe destination batani padegi" I said, "me hi continue karti hu" I said yawning.

"Tumhari car me kucch khane pine ke liye nhi hai?" He asked looking at the back, "Bandana khaa jaati hai" I replied, he chuckled.

"Wait. Ham Mohali jaa rahe hai??" He asked, "umm..." I tried to lie, "don't lie, road pe directions parhni aati hai" He said. I smiled, "haan, Mohali jaa rahe hai" I said.

"So mera birthday surprise waha hai?" He asked, "yaar surprise kharab na karo" I whined, "okay okay" He chuckled.

He talked for some time and finally arrived at Gurudwara Amb Sahib.

"Pehle yaha jaate hai" I said and we got out of the car.

The Gurudwara wasn't much crowded. We prayed for a couple of minutes and started heading towards the exit.

"Selfie lete hai" He said, "gurudware me selfie?" I asked, "haan, kyu nhi?" He asked.

I nodded, "hasso" He said, I smiled. "Zada ho gaya, thoda kam karo" He said, I smiled a bit less. "Kam hai, thoda aur hasso" He said, "bhaad me jaao" I said walking.

"Accha ruko ruko" He laughed and pulled me, we finally clicked a selfie and he posted it on his Instagram story.

"Ab kaha?" He asked, I just smiled.

I drove for less than a minute when I heard his chuckle, "Mohali Cricket Stadium" He said, "aage se left" He said.

I smiled.

We reached and walked inside the stadium. Everything was dark, there was no one there.

"Sameeksha...yaha to..." He stopped when one by one, all the light switched on and his teammates shouted "Happy Birthday" and hugged him tightly.

"Happy Birthday Chutakk!!" Shubman said hugging him, "Happy Birthday meri Jaan!!" Nagarkoti kissed his cheek, "Happy Birthday Sharma ji!" Hardik almost jumped on him.

He was in such a shock that he couldn't even hug them back or thank them, "oye! Kucch bol to sahi" Shikar Bhai said, "yeh kitne hai?" Yuvi Paaji asked showing three fingers.

"Paaji yaar..." Abhishek said finally, "thank you" He said opening his arms widely. Shubman was about to hug him but Abhishek was going towards someone else.

He passed everyone and finally hugged me, "thank you Sameeksha!!" He whispered in my ear, hugging me tightly.

"Yeh bada woh hai yaar!" Rohit Bhai said annoyed, "accha?" Shubman guessed, he shook his head. "Kamina?" Jasprit said, he shook his head again. "Bhenc..." Shikhar Bhai said but Virat Bhai stopped him, "yaar kudi saamne khadi hai" He nudged him.

"Dhokebaaz?" Mahi Bhai said, "haan! Dhokebaaz!! Sameeksha ke aate hi sabko bhula dia" Rohit Bhai said.

"Nhi Bhai esa thodi hai" Abhishek said and hugged everyone and thanked them individually.

"Chalo cake laao!!" Mahi Bhai said.

Hardik brought a box and opened it, "tujhe to kaha tha ball aur wickets wale design ka leke aaio. Yeh kya utha laaya?" Virat Bhai asked.

Everyone was kind of surprised looking at the cake. It was black in colour, with "Happy Birthday Abhay" written in red, as if it was blood. More than a birthday wish, it looked like a death note.

"Hamare saamne cake box me rakha, wahi tha jo hamne pasand kia tha. Yeh kaha se aa gaya!?" Hardik said, "Harry, mazak nhi. Yeh cake kyu leke aaya?" Mahi Bhai asked.

"Bhai yeh woh cake nhi hai! Shub se poochlo" He said, "Shub? Yeh woh cake nhi hai na?" Hardik asked.

Everyone was serious and scared, "woh...kya Harry Bhai, ab bas bhi karo. Dekho kese darr gey sab" Shubman chuckled. Everyone sighed, I was looking at Shubman, he signed Hardik to keep quiet.

Happiest Birthday Abhay Banna ❤
