Birthday plans

Sree

"What? ", Raya asked

" What do you think about him", I asked

"I don't know I just met him ", she said

" You were looking at him, I saw that", I said

"Umm.. I.. Ya.. He looks nice,.. I was just seeing him talk.. Simply.. Nothing else", she said

" Hmm...you know all are couples here except you and Gautham, which would make you and him, a possible option", I said

"All are couples? Akshara? Akshara and Ajay are a couple? ", she asked , her eyes wide opened.

" Well not yet, but he likes her, don't tell Akshara, he has to tell her that", I said

"Okk.. Wow", Raya said

" Sree, I don't even know Gautham, we aren't even in the same city, it isn't possible and he loves you right", she asked

"Loved, past tense Raya, you know I'm with Vikram and Gautham understood that, he was supportive, he is a good person Raya. ", I said.

" Maybe.. I don't know how it will work out Sree ", Raya said

" Give him request in insta, message him", I said

"Me? No way.. You know about me.. ", she said smiling

I sighed. I had to think of something.

We ate and saw a movie, we came back to our house with everyone and Vikram made dinner for all.

" This is what I like best about my friend ", Gautham said..

" I agree", I said

Ajay was busy talking to Akshara about something.

I looked at Raya silently sitting.

We then played dumb charades.
It was a lot of fun. I felt really happy, and fulfilled.

Morning, Raya had to leave to Chennai and Akshara left to her pg.
I then showed Vikram the photos in my phone and explained everything in my college, he did the same too. We had long talks regarding relationships, friends, family etc..

The week went slow, due to lots of work, because of the Mumbai office incident, there were many changes to be made..

It was my birthday, the next week.. I wondered what Vikram would have planned and I was so excited.

At 12 am, I got a call from Akshara and Raya wishing me, but I wanted him to wish me first.. I waited for a second feeling disappointed.

Did he forget it..
But he came inside in a second.
"Happy Birthday Sree", he said coming near me, with a cake in his hand..

" Thank you, one sec, I'll pick these calls", I said and spoke to my friends and they wished me.

Then I looked at Vikram. "Cake... ", I said

" I baked it for you", he said

"You bake? ", I asked

" Not much,.. But tried it out,.. ", he said and cut out a part and fed me..

" Mmm", it tastes really good ", I said and fed him a piece.

He took the cream and came towards me to smear it on my face.

" Nooo", I said and moved away from the bed..

He came after me and I ran away from him, while he was chasing me with the cake..
