1 1. Happy birthday Aani

He was driving on a deserted road, dressed in white dress pants and a black shirt, looking like a business tycoon. He was a 26-year-old handsome man with an attractive face.

It was 8 o'clock in the evening. He was going to his home from the office. There were tall, densely shaded trees on the side of the road. His sharp brown eyes were looking at the long road.

He turned his gaze from the front to the dashboard and opened the dashboard draw. He took out a cigarette case and a lighter, picked out a cigarette, and lit it with the lighter. The flame brightened his face for a second. He turned the car to the right side while smoking when his gaze fell on a girl whose back was towards him. She was running fast on the footpath and her hair was flowing like waves in the air. She was in a white long frock, barefooted. He wondered why that girl was running on the road at this hour. Suddenly she came down from the footpath and ran to the other side of the road. He had to apply the breaks because the girl had come before his car. The car halted with a jolt a few meters away from the girl. She screamed and fell down. He came out quickly and ran to the girl. She was lying unconscious on the road. She was a teenaged and beautiful girl. Her face was shining in dim street lights, which made him mesmerized for some moments. He had seen many beautiful girls but her beauty was unique. After a while, he came into his senses and bent down, grabbed her, and patted her cheek. She didn't awake. He was satisfied to know that the girl was not hit by the car. Perhaps she had fainted due to fear. he lifted up the girl and carried it to his car.

.....

Aania parked her car in the parking area of ​​Special Slatin Restaurant and entered the building. her four friends were waiting on the upper floor of the restaurant.

She was wearing a white cold-shoulder top over a pink maxi skirt and white jeans with high-heeled closed shoes. She had soft pink cheeks, fair skin like milk, a round forehead, drawn eyebrows, big brown eyes with a thick fence of eyelashes, a beautiful nose that rose slightly from the bottom, and a charming smile on her red full ​​lips. The hair was long brown and wavy, reaching to the waist curled like a coil at the end, which was scattered on the sides of her cheeks, her shoulders, and the back. The young and beautiful body resembled a Cristal doll. She was a masterpiece of beautiful nature.

She came up through the elevator and as soon as the door was opened she found her friends in front of her. At the front was Hadiqa who came forward and hugged her. She was in a purple beautiful maxi.

"Happy Birthday Aani"

Everyone was hugging her and wishing her a happy birthday. Gentle gusts of wind were blowing along with the waves of the sea. The view of the sea from the roof of the restaurant was very beautiful. It looked like the sun was setting in the sea. Aania was stunned to see that view for some moments.

"Wow, it's an amazing scene." She spoke in an enchanted tone.

"Hey girl, you've already arrived so late and now you started looking at the sea. We're also on your way." Hadiqa took her hand and walked towards a table. Everyone walked with them.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let me take a little rest. I am tired. " Aania made a face.

"Why?" Alizey asked. They were now sitting around a table. There were many other people around who were turning their heads and looking at them especially at Aania

"Dad had arranged my birthday party at home. Dad's friends and colleagues came. All of them were old. I was so bored. Mom let me come here after the party ended." She leaned against the chair back and said. Everyone laughed at her words

"You should have brought uncle and aunty," Kiran said.

"they had to go to a wedding ceremony." She told. Then she became sad suddenly.

" What happened?" Hadiqa asked with concern.

" I don't know. I am feeling anxious," she said with confusion.

" Why?"kiran asked.

" For a few days, dad has been looking upset. When I asked him the reason, I found out that there was a case. I was surprised that he had never been so upset before. Now I am having a bad feeling, like something bad will happen."

" Oh, my dear friend. Don't be upset. nothing bad will happen. Today is your birthday. Let's become happy. " Hadiqa cheered her up. She smiled slightly and shook her head.

"Imagine, one day we will old, with sticks in our hands. Hair will have turn white and teeth will have fallen. Children will call us grandmothers and we will remember the days of our youth." Kiran said jokingly. They all glared at her.

"It's a long time to get old, Now I'm just eighteen years old." Aania shrugged, touching her hair lock on the cheek.

"Oh, it means. we have to think about your marriage" Kiran exclaimed.

"take care of yourself. I think your parents arrange your marriage after the result." Aania said with a smile.

"Oh, if that happens then what else do I need." She said with sadness and everyone laughed.

"Okay, order a cake now," Hadiqa said impatiently. Aania called a waiter and ordered. He brought a cake and placed it in front of them. Aania cut the cake and her friends sang the birthday song. Then Aania fed everyone the cake in turn. they gave gifts to aania. Hadiqa gave her a gift without annoying her for the first time. Aania shrank her eyes.

"Guys, Did anyone notice anything?" She asked

"What?"

"Today Hadiqa gave me the gift without teasing me. How good my friend is."

"Hey, I thought it is your eighteenth birthday, and you're no longer the kid so I should not tease you." She started acting.

"This gift will open with your hands." Aania gave back her gift. Her tone was stern. No one could deny her when she used this tone

" Umm ... why should I open your gift? Who am I to intrude on someone's privacy? " She panicked.

"Who gave me the gift?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Me," she said innocently.

"So open this quickly" she commanded.

Hadiqa looked at the others with helpless eyes. They wondered why Aania was insisting on her to open the gift and why she was afraid to open it. What's in the box?

"Ouch my nose, ah..." as soon as the box opened a punch fell on her nose and she grabbed her nose. she couldn't save herself despite trying. everyone laughed at her. When people saw them in amazement, they all pressed their tongues in their teeth.

"Oh, my repentance. I will not do any mischief with you in the future. I think you have some magic which tells you everything." Hadiqa said caressing her nose.

"I don't have magic. But I know my friend well. By the way, I like your gift the most," she was saying while reviewing the punch box.

"But I had to give you another gift."

"Then give that too," Aania said then she passed a small box towards her.

"Oh, is not there any frog in it, etc?" Aania asked and Hadiqa laughed.

"No, there's a bracelet in it. It's like that," she said, showing her bracelet in her wrist.

"Oh thank you. That's a lovely bracelet," Aania thanked her politely.
