As she took each step down a light flashed to life by her side. Taking a deep breath, slowing down the pace, she nervously glanced the beautifully decorated hall. Beautiful will be a small word for sure. Entire hall is decorated with fairy candle lights, and bright fresh carnations of red and adorned everywhere giving the hall a fairy tale look. The floor is covered with white and red balloons which was similar to the colour combination in the wall. Silver stars, which hung from the ceiling, shined in the candle light. There was a royal table in the centre with a cake, a dozen of glasses and bottle of champagne.
Her eyes slowly shifted to the 8 handsome gentlemen seated on chair, waiting for her. Well rather than waiting her, they are having their own fun. Chatting, teasing and even having coffee.
Seriously? She shook her head. Suddenly, as if sensing her, they stopping their chatting and turned towards the stair..making her feel conscious about herself. She smiled nervously and again slowed down her pace.
"Mou.."
Somebody called her and she looked all 8 curiously. Wait.. the voice..it wasn't husky or strong ..not even manly.๐ค It actually sounded like..like a girl?๐ค
"MOU.."
This time it sounded like a girl shouting at her. Before mou can think properly, she felt like somebody dumped a bucket of ice water on her. She opened her eyes with a jerk, looking straight to a pair of furious eyes. There she is, Her best friend Priya is standing there with one hand on hips and other hand holding an empty bucket...looking all furious๐ณ
"What The.." Mou stood up, all set to kill priya with her bare hands.๐ก
Priya: mou...stop imitating ASR..I'm already irritated.๐ฅฑ
MOU : excuse me..๐ก its you who dumped a full bucket of water on me and now shouting at me too? I'm gona to kill you now..๐คฌ*run to hit priya*
Priya : *saving herself from mou* What else i'm supposed to do? For last 15 minutes i'm trying to wake you up.โBut you were sleeping like you didn't sleep for a year. Now go and change. We need to leave now.๐ค
Mou : Where? ๐Huh..leave it..i'm not coming anywhere with you.๐ฅฑ Today i lost the golden opportunity of round table dinner date..๐ฅบand YOU..ONLY YOU are responsible for it. *throws a pillow at priya*
Priya: *catches the pillow* Round table dinner date??๐ฒ what was that? and what i did?๐
Mou: why should i explain it to you?๐ฅฑ
Just then kiran, pari and sana enters.
Sana : Mou.. you are still not ready? And why your hair and face are wet?๐
Mou: Why are you asking me? Go and ask your soul sister.๐ฅฑ
Pari: Mou ..calm down beta.๐
Mou: Calm down? huh..Pari..i'm telling you..This priya must be my Mother in law in last birth. ๐ตThats why she is behind my life. Today she ruined by round table dinner date .๐ฅบ๐ญ
Pari: Round table dinner date? *raise an eyebrow*
Mou: yes..It was soo romantic..the hall, candles, flowers..*looking dreamy* and Harshad, barun, Hugh, hrithik, Rajeev, Jamie, eric, fawad..all were waiting for me..โบ๏ธI was almost reached them too. but..this priya ,๐ก before i can even say a hai to them, she dumped water on me and ruined my date.๐ฅบ
Sana : But how priya reached there? She was with us entire day.๐
Kiran : sana..๐คฃmou is talking about how priya ruined her dream by waking her up.๐By the way..Thank you priya, for saving my harshu in mou's dream ๐
Mou: Kiran..waah. tell me one good reason for which i still consider you as my sister๐ฅฑ
Priya: well..well..guys..lets stop the fighting. its 11: 20 now. Mou go and change now. We are running out of time.
Mou: where? ๐I already told you, i'm not coming anywhere with you.๐ฅฑ By the way, what are you all doing here? Are you guys planning something?๐ค *looks suspiciously*
Pari: ofcourse .. yes. ๐we are going to scare faiza. Remember, yesterday she was flattering herself too much with her himmatwala stories.๐คช What she was saying? "no one can scare me..". Today we will burst that himmat balloon of her.๐
Kiran: yesh..We have dhamaka plan with us.๐ And guess what? we are going to sneak in to her home through the tree and pipes.๐ Gosh I can't wait for it.
Mou :how boring.. ๐ฅฑi'm not coming .. i just want to sleep and continue my date and...
Before mou can finish, kiran, pari and sana pushed her to washroom and priya lock the door from outside. all shares a thumps up๐
--------------------
Time: 11: 59
PRIYAAA..PARIII..KIRANNN..SANAA..I'M SAYING THIS FOR THE LAST TIME. JUST OPEN THE DOOR DAMMIT
It is more than 30 minutes since she stuck in washroom. Someone locked the door ..well she know who that someone is. First they ruined her dream and now locked in washroom. But they were planning to scare faiza right?When did the plan changed?
As she was going to bang the door again, she heard a small sound, like someone unlocked the door. Without wasting a second mou opened the door and stepped in to her room which is completely in dark now. She left it with the lights on right? Then who turned them off? Where are her crazy friends? She tried to locate them, but the room is too dark and the dim light from washroom is not helping much. Cursing her fate she moved towards the switch board.
"Mou..." someone whispered from nowhere making mou to jump backwards in sudden fear.
"who is this" mou asked trying to sound normal. This must be her crazy gang right? Are they doing any rehearsal here? Isn't she already know about their scaring plan?
"4.."someone whispered again..but it sounded from distance.
"3..2..1"
Suddenly all the lights went on and she heard a big scream
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOU
It took few seconds for mou to realise what just happened. She looked around to see her entire crazy gang. Sana, Kiran, Pari, priya, faiza, Athi, Maria, afee and sanju are standing with wide smile. God..She loves them. She moved forward to hug them all and Just then her surrounding caught her attention. Is this her room? It no longer look like a bedroom.
Entire room is filled with white and pink balloons. The white curtains in her room are now decorated with tulip and orchids. Her study table is neatly covered with white table cloth and a big chocolate cake is placed on it with candle. Her small book shelf is nowhere there in sight. Her bed is put in vertical position and a big Birthday banner with all her round table date guys is hanging on it. It looked familiar..
Priya : So..How is the surprise? Don't tell me that you still want us to kill for ruining your round table date๐
Mou: Priya..it depends whether i can dream a sequel to it today or not.๐ But for the time being i lob you all.๐ค
Sana: Save your love for later and cut the cake now..๐
Faiza: waah..someone is getting impatient to know what her ex thinks about her baking talent๐คก
Mou: what?๐
Pari : aree..Sana made your birthday cake..i mean specially made it for you๐
Mou: what? Sana..you want me to spend my birthday in hospital??๐คฃ Ouchhh *priya and sana hits mou from either side*
Mou: *rubbing shoulder* You are hitting birthday girl? Huh. Its me who is supposed to hit one. Pari beta..aao. Dont think that i haven't noticed the birthday banner.you cheat..๐ก
Pari: mou..*raising hands* it was not my idea. Priya asked me to do it. She send me the list and i passed it to you..๐
Priya: *glares pari and run to save herself from mou* Mou..i was just trying to do something unique..๐ have you ever seen a Birthday girl making banner for herself?๐คฃ๐คฃ
Mou runs to catch priya and the chase continues..๐
