VirMan SS: Jeevika's Birthday Surprise
"Virat! Have you brought the cake yet?" Bhai shouted from the kitchen.
It was Bhabi's birthday, and Chachi had taken her shopping to keep her away from the surprise party Bhai has organized for her. And apparently, he said he has another surprise for her? But he refused to give further details on it so Virat stopped asking because he had given him a list of supplies to buy for the party; balloons, banners, party poppers, candles, decorations and most importantly, picking up the huge cake Bhai had ordered. Swamini Bua had tried to take over and wanted to invite hundreds more people to the party, but Bhai had refused, saying Jeevika is simple, so the party will be simple with only us here, no-one else.
Virat came inside with the huge cake, praying that it wouldn't fall out of his hands. The cake was a simple chocolate cake, 3 layers with fudge in between with chocolate and white chocolate shavings on the tops. 'Happy Birthday Jeevika,' written in white cream on the top.
"Ramlal! Kar kya rahe ho yaar? Tie the balloons to the banisters! Hang some streamers from the upstairs landing so it'll float down! Itna bhi creativity nay hai tum mein?" No, it can't be...can it? She can't be here, she's supposed to be at home...Virat stopped at the front door and quickly put the cake down on the table, scanning the lounge for the person who the voice belonged to. He couldn't see her; the only person there was Ramlal rummaging through a box of decorations. Maybe I was imagining it...Shaking his head at his stupidity and desperation, Virat picked up the cake and walked into the kitchen.
She ran upstairs and opened the guest room door and realized that she had no clothes. Am I supposed to go to my sister's birthday party in these? She thought. Noticing a package on her bed, she wondered if someone had mistakenly put Di's birthday present here. Walking up to it, she saw a small note; 'Maanvi...I know I know, you're probably thinking that you don't have clothes for the party and it's my fault. I apologize Saali-Saiba. So I took the liberty in buying you a suit, it's something you probably won't wear but that's the only thing I could buy at last minute. Again, I apologize for my disgusting choice, and thank you for being here tonight. It means a lot to me and I know for sure it'll mean the world to your sister. Lots of love, your Jeju.
Maanvi was gleaming with happiness. She knew her Jeju was amazing but going out and buying her clothes for the party meant a lot to her. Especially since she was the cause on several occasions for almost breaking Jeju's and Di's marriage. She decided that her Jeju was the best Jeju had could have ever asked for and her Di couldn't be happier with anyone else but him. She felt a huge smile spreading on her face and made a mental note to thank her Jeju when she saw him.
"Arre Chachi, why are you worrying for? Bring Bhabi home, we have everything ready." Virat replied proudly, in just a few hours him and Bhai had organized the best party suited for the newly Vadhera bahu. It wasn't exactly in Vadhera style, but it was Bhabi's style and today was her day, so that's all that mattered.
"Tabi toh mein kehti hoon! Tussi toh top ho, iss ghar di hope ho! Acha, ab mein rakh ti hoon." Virat chuckled at his Chachi's random praising. Smiling to himself, he put his phone away and went to make final checks on everything and tell Bhai that his wife is on her way.
Everything was ready. Lights were of, confetti was ready for when Bhabi steps into the house, the cake was placed in the middle of the huge lounge and everyone was waiting for the Vadhera Bahu to come home. Chachi had texted saying that they were 2 minutes away so be ready. Everything seemed perfect, but there was something missing, something that would complete the party and make Bhabi overwhelmed with happiness. Bandariya. Virat gave a small smile, shaking his head. If only she was here, the atmosphere would be heightened, Bhai and Bhabi would so ecstatic and the party would be in full swing. If only Bhai had invited Bandariya over...
Bhabi had stepped into the house and everyone screamed 'happy birthday!' Bhabi had just stood here, taking everything in. She looked shocked to say the least, whilst Chachi had skipped over to her husband and son; Bhabi hadn't moved an inch from the entrance. Virat saw Bhai walking over to Bhabi and taking his hand out, "Happy Birthday Mrs Vadhera, would you please come inside?" Bhabi's eyes were glistening, probably tears of happiness because she just nodded in response and held Bhai's hand and walked over to the cake.
He turned round, and saw Maanvi...at the top of the stairs. She looked absolutely beautiful, her loose curls defined her face, and her curves were showing. He noticed that she hadn't worn much jewellery apart from dangling earrings and 2 golden bangles on one wrist. But she didn't need anything else to adorn her already exquisite body. She looked nervous, Bhai had arranged for a spotlight to focus on her when she walked down. She started walking down gracefully, and all eyes were on her. Her sari was amazing, and it complimented on her petite body. The pallu was dark purple with a floral border, her blouse was a dark pink and her skirt was dark purple and pink. He realized that these 2 colours really suited her, he recalled her mehndi lengha, it was pink and it looked stunning on her. Then on the baraat day, she wore pink and purple. And today again, pink and purple. Usually he would've gotten fed up by the repetitions of colours, but on Maanvi, it was ravishing. He knew that she looked as amazing in all the other colours, but there was a history behind the pink and purple, a history between the two of them.
She reached Bhabi and they both hugged, and everyone was shocked to see Maanvi. No-one had expected her to come, but then again, it wasn't shocking at all. After all it was her sister's birthday party.
