Sneaking out of the room she quietly closed the door behind her and descending down the stairs. Her eyes went straight to the clocking showing the time.

Taking a deep breath and sighs realising theft is no time to waste. Walking to kitchen she took all the ingredients and starts preparing for the cake as she planned since last week.

Neil's birthday is tomorrow and she wanted to bake a cake for Neil like every year tradition she has, every year she would bake him a cake and wish him before their family comes knocking on their door.

Engrossing herself making the batter and getting the icing ready she puts the cake in oven and starts to clean the counter while the cake is baking.

Putting on the timer she rushed back to her room quietly and grabbing her phone looks at the time and dimming the lights she starts to decorate the room with balloons and candles and flowers.

Once she was done decorating the room she slips on the slippers and quietly again sneaks out of the room and went to kitchen.

Wearing the gloves and she took the cake out and looked so proud and pleased seeing the cake. Keeping on the counter she starts icing the cake.

Holding the cake in her hand she walks out of the kitchen and headed back to her room. Pushing the door quietly she enters inside and keeping the cake on the coffee table glanced over the bed where her husband and the twins were sleeping.

She smiles and walks to bed and sitting beside her husband she starts to ruffle his hair to which he moves while groaning in sleep. She chuckles and bending down kissed his head and looks over her twins who were snugging into their father chest.

Softly calling his name out she tries to wake him up but he didn't budge at all. She sighs and starts doing mischief making him frustrated in sleep.

She heard his sleepy voice and couldn't help but giggle at his frustration and bending down nibbles his ears before whispering him to wake up then glancing over the clock softly whispers into his ear.

Avni : happy birthday Neil. I know you're awake. Now stop pretending and get up.

Neil groans and slowly opening his eyes looks at his son and daughter who snuggling to his chest. He smiles brightly then carefully turns around facing his wife and roamed his eyes around the room seeing all decorated. His heart overwhelmed seeing how much effort she puts every year to make his  birthday special.

His eyes always shines up when he notices little details of her surprise. His wife knows how to melt his heart. He held his tears back and staring his wife sits up and cupping her face forwards closet and kissed her forehead. He left his lips there a little longer.

Her eyes closed as she felt his lips touching her skin. She opens her eyes when she felt his thin brushing against her cheeks. Her lips curves into a smile.

Neil : thank you so much Jaan. I could never imagine what you have planned for my birthday. Every year you make it so special and I would always be gratitude to you. Thank you so much Jaan. I love you so much.

He pecks her head again and strokes her cheek while tucking her hair strands.

Avni : happy birthday husband. Now cut the cake before our parents come to wish you.

Neil nodded his head and looks at his wife who got down the bed and brought the cake front of him. She lit the candle and smiles gesturing Neil to make a wife before blowing the candle.

Neil closed his eyes and after making a wish he opens his eyes and looks at the cake. He took the knife and looks at his wife before taking her hand in his and cuts the cake together.

Neil took a piece and forward to her. She smiles and takes the bite. She also took a piece and forward to him. He took the bite and closed his eyes relishing the cake.

He opens his eyes and looks at his wife who was waiting for him to praise the cake.

Neil : it's so yummy Jaan. I think by now you should open bakery. You make so tasty and delicious cake.

Her cheeks heats up but shakes her head off not liking the idea regarding opening a bakery.

Avni : I don't want to open a bakery Neil. I'm happy baking for you only. Baking is my hobby not a passion.

Neil: I know Jaan. I just suggesting, i think you would fabulous job. Trust me.

Avni nodded her head understanding his words. She took the cake from him and leaves back on the coffee table and sits opposite holding his hand.

Avni : what do you want for your birthday gift Neil?

Neil : I don't need a gift Jaan. I have everything what I wanted. I could thank God enough for giving me most beautiful wife and two adorable babies.

He cups her face and kissed her cheek making her smile. He pulls her towards him and side hugs her.

They were just loving the silence between when there was a knock at the door. As expected they knew would be other side of the door.

Avni moving away from Neil gets up and moves to door opening the door and allows swetha, Bebe and Prakash and she didn't fail to notice a cake in Bebe's hand.

They walked inside and Neil got down the bed and hugs his parents and Bebe. He also took their blessing and in return they wished him happy birthday.

Neil cuts the cake and fed his parents first then Bebe followed by his wife. They all talked before returning back to their room.

Avni closed the door and joined Neil in bed. She looks at the twins who hadn't awoke up or cried. She sighs and looks at Neil who took his phone out and starts seeing so many edits from his phone.

Avni : Neil! Go to sleep. You have to get up early.

Neil shut his phone and looks at her before putting his phone on the side table and laid down.

Neil : goodnight Jaan!

Avni : goodnight Neil.

They both slept hugging the twins. Next morning Neil's sleep was disturbed by his phone notifications. He groans in his sleep and opening his eyes grabs his phone and sitting up thought up to cheek on his social media knowing his fans were expecting something from him on his birthday.

Neil turns his phone and saw so many messages from his friends and colleague of his. He then opens his Instagram and was shocked seeing so many tags and comments in his inbox. He looks so shocked when he scrolled down and noticed his wife making a post.

He clicks on the post and his heart stopped beating for a minute seeing the photos and captions beneath.

Happy birthday darling. I love you much. Thank you for everything. You mean world to you. You're the best son, husband and father. We are so proud and blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you so much Neil.

Happy birthday love, I love you.

His eyes were filled with fresh tears as he read the caption. A tear rolled down on his cheek and feel on his phone screen. He quickly wipes his tears off and glances over to his wife who was still sleeping hugging Reyansh.

He leans over and strokes her face then kissed her head mumbling I love you.

He looks back at his phone and saw none stop messages and notifications popping on his screen. He tries to like few fan edits and shutting his phone thought to sleep again.

He laid back on his back and closed his eyes trying to sleep but couldn't as he heard Aadhira crying.

He opens his eyes and looking at her he leans to pick her up. He starts to coo her as he wipes the tears off and starts whispering few words to her.

Aadhira stops crying and stares her father face. Her little finger raised in the air trying to touch his cheek.

Neil chuckles and leans down to which tiny fingers touching his cheek. He smiles and looked so proud by his daughter antics. He then glanced over mother and son were still snugging and sleeping.

Everyone once again started to wish Neil. Neil thanking everyone sat down and taking phone out and showed his phone to Avni to which she just laughed out.

Avni: this is nothing Neil. Just wait and watch how your fans desperately waiting for our pictures? You should keep posting them.

Neil smirks and leans forward whispering quietly.

Neil : should I post our intimate pictures too Jaan? I don't mind posting them though.

She glares and nudge his shoulder to which he chuckles. They all were sitting in living room and planning on how to celebrate Neil's birthday even though Neil didn't wanted big party but celebration with family and friend.

All of sudden they heard a loud voice of cabir. Neil shook his head and knew what was going in his way. He steps out and looks at the drama.

Fab 5 and Nandini ran inside the mansion, more like racing who was going to wish Neil.

Nandini ran little faster whereas Manik and cabir jumped on Neil's making him fall down on the floor. The rest laughed out and Neil angry pushing them away gets up and moves to his sisters and hugs them.

Nandini: happy birthday Bhai! I wish you all the success and love Bhai.

Neil smiles and pecks her forehead.

Neil : thank you baby doll.

He then hugs Alya who hugs him back wishing him.

Alya : happy birthday Neil.

Neil also smiles and kissed her forehead.

Neil : thank you Alya.

He then lastly hugged Mukti who was grinning and waiting for her turn.

Mukti : happy birthday superstar.

Neil laughs out and kissed her forehead. Neil then moves to the boys. He first hugs Dhruv who wished him. Neil then moves to the crazy friend of his and hugs cabir slapping his head.

Cabir : happy birthday bro. You got a year old now.

Neil chuckles and shook his head moving to his best friend and hugging so tightly.

Manik : happy birthday Neil.

Neil : thank you Manik.

Neil broke the hug and smiles looking at his family. Even Metha family were going to join them later. He really loved and appreciated being with his family on his special day.

They all sat down and discussing over Neil's birthday celebration. In between they pulled each other legs and had breakfast together with laughter.
