29 Are you giving your heart to me?

He kept the frame back on the wall and lay down watching it.

"Happy birthday Andy." She had a bright smile and extended her hand to give his gift.

"Thank you chipmunk. Is this a prank or real gift?" He scanned the box.

She punched him, "It's a gift. See it and tell me whether you like it or not."

He started unwrapping, "If I don't like it, will you buy me another one?" and he laughed.

"Of course not. Anybody can buy from outside. I will make a new gift for you." She sounded determined.

"You made this? Then I will love this." He unwrapped and checked.

He was delighted at first sight. It was beautifully designed. It had his favorite colors; red and black and his favorite shape; Heart. She considered everything meticulously.

"Chipmunk! Are you giving your heart to me?" He raised his eyebrow and asked.

She blushed but she acted as if annoyed "In your dreams, you liked it or not? if not give back to me." She puffed her cheeks which looked cute.

He pinched her both cheeks, "Who asks to return the gift?" Then he pulled her to his embrace, "My Chipmunk! It's beautiful. I love it. Don't even dare to take it back."

She pinched his waist hard to let herself loose from the hug. "I'm getting late."

She went forward a few steps and turned, started walking backward, "Hey Birthday Boy! Don't forget to check your room properly." She waved her hand left.

He ran inside his room and checked. In a pen stand, he got a pen which had his name carved on it.

Customized desk calendar and a thank you card on the bed.

"Thank you for being the best for me.

Why you are the best?

Because you listen to all my boring, silly talks.

Because even though you are mature, you still act like a kid just to make me smile.

Because you aren't shy to hold my shopping bags.

Because you encourage me whenever I lose hope.

Because you take care of me whenever I can't take care of myself.

Because you are possessive while being extremely protective.

Because you are my best friend."

He liked her handwritten card and read it many times with a smile getting bigger and brighter.

He knew Rony must have helped her to keep these things in the room. Hence he called him to know if there was anything left out.

"Hey Rony, I got a pen, a card, and a calendar. Is there anything else?" Andy hastened to know.

"Brother. Why are you so excited? Relax." Rony took his time and replied

"Shut up and tell me fast." Andy was exhilarated and impatient
