Later that evng, the servants started to decorate the entire drawing room with balloons and ribbons...

Renu started helping hiya to dress up, whereas hiya kept a fake smile over her lips as usual...though she was missing her mom terribly...

Making her get ready...in a purple gown...and tying her hairs in a bun...renu gave a black mark of Kohl behind her ears...

              ( Hiya's dress)

"Looking beautiful my lil princess!!"... Renu said...to which she smiled again...

" let's go downstairs!! Otherwise your dadu will get angry!!"...renu said...to which hiya giggled and followed her path....

On the other hand harsh was busy with the Arrangements...
His eyes fell on the clock which was striking 7pm...
"Where r they?? And what kind of parents they r?? Ridiculous!!"... His mind mumbled... When he heard a soft voice...

" dadu!! How m I looking?? "...
Harsh smiled & turned backward... Only to see his lil granddaughter... Looking extremely adorable in that gown...

" awww!! My baby is looking so pretty!! U know what u r looking like that barbie girl...whom u always watch in t.v!!"...he said kneeling down towards her...

"Umm!! Like Rapunzel??"...hiya asked thoughtfully...
" yes!! Exactly like her!!"...he said and pecked her cheek...to which she giggled...

*****
Soon the guests started arriving...most of the guests were carrying their own children with them...

They greeted hiya...and gave her gifts...which she took smilingly!!

"Hiya where is your mom & dad??"... One of the guest asked...
Hearing his question the smiled vanished away from her face...

Renu noticed the situation... And in order to manage it she interrupted..."actually they got some urgent call from ofc...so they had to leave...otherwise who wants to leave their own child alone...on this spcl day??"...

" oh!!"...the guy exclaimed...
*****
Time began to pass away....and hiya observed her surroundings!!

Though she maintained that fake smile in front of everyone but her heart cries..vigorously for her parents... As she saw how the other parents were treating their own children lovingly...

For a moment she felt jealous of them...and y won't she feel that??
Every child has the right to get pampered by their parents...or was she an exception one??

Soon the clock viewed 9pm...
"Hiya plz my daughter... Cut the cake?? It's too late!!"... Renu said...
"I will...let mom dad arrive!!"... Hiya gave the same answer for the 3rd time...while her eyes was continuously gazing towards the main door...

" child!! The guests won't wait...till so long!! Your mom & dad will cm!! But u know there busy schedule right!? We can wait for them...but not our guests...!! The guests will also hv their dnr right??"...requested renu...

"Ask them to hv their dnr!! Plz dadi...I wanna cut the cake on my mom dad's presence!!"... She mumbled... Whereas her gaze was fixed...

Renu sighed...and looked towards harsh...who was I silent listener to their conversation...
He actioned her not to disturb hiya anymore... & also asked her to serve the guests...to which she nodded positively...

However managing the situation... Renu requested the guests to hv their dnr...to which they nodded and started taking their plates...

" what kind of parents they r?? Leave Randhir...he may be busy...as he is the owner of the business... But what about sanyukta?? Is this a duty which a mom does!! Really it's so strange!! "...the two ladies among the guests started to mumble among each other...

Though their voice was not loud enough... But their entire conversation was audible to hiya...
With puppy eyes she looked at them for once...and again looked at the door with a hope...that her parents may cm and they will cut the cake together...

*****
Soon the clock strucked 11pm...thus the entire guests left...bidding the Shekhawats a bye!!

Hiya kept sitting at her same place like a statue...whereas renu's eyes got filled with tears looking at her tired figure...

Her eyes were giving up in drowsiness... But still her mind was asking her to keep awake...as her mom dad may arrive at anytime...

" hiya...cm on hv your dnr!! It's already 11!! Tomorrow u hv your scl right??"...renu asked...sitting beside her with a plate full of food...

Harsh left the place with a bitter mood...seing his granddaughter in such a condition...

"No dadi!! Plz let them cm..see my b'day is not yet over!! The clock is striking 11:15pm...only!!"... She chipped...

" hiya it's enough!! I hv had enough... Of your stubbornness!! Not anymore!! "...,renu chipped angrily... With a hope that she will get frightened and obey her words...

" plz dadi!!"...she pleaded again...and renu melted seing her teary eyes...
"Child!! Don't love your parents like this!!"... She cried...
Whereas hiya kept mum...

" dadi go to your room and hv your dnr with dadu!! Both of u r not well...and it will not be good if u take your dinner untimely!! "...she chipped...

Renu looked at her with surprise...
How can I lil girl be so matured...?? She thought...
She smiled and pecked...her forehead...
" no...let your mom dad cm then we will hv our dnr together!! "...said renu...

" no dadi!! Previously Dr has said that u r not well...and asked u to hv your dnr timely... Plz go and hv your dnr...and also ask dadu to do the same!!"...she ordered like a typical tchr...

Renu chuckled at her response and said..."ok!! I will!! But what will u do??"...
"Umm...yes!! I will play with Jill by then!!"....hiya chipped ...

" ok!!"...renu said...and went away after giving a peck on her forehead...

*****.
The clock strucked... 11:40pm when sandhir arrived...
"Great dnr it was in the mehtas residence right??"... Asked randhir...

" yes!! And u know what?? Mrs mehta was really impressed with us and this deal!!"...said sanyu...

"Oh really!!"... Exclaimed randhir..

" yea!!"..chipped sanyu when their eyes fell on the sleepy figure of hiya...

They gave a frown towards each other and went towards her...
"Hiya!!"... Sanyu called softly...

Hearing her voice hiya jumped outta of her sleep...and a small smile crept on her face...as ultimately her mom and dad were there in front of her...

" what r doing here?? And y didn't u sleep in your room??"...asked sanyu...
"Actually mom..."... Before she could say sanyu said..."now don't tell me...that u hv irritated dadu and dadi!! For God sake kiddo!! Grow up!!"... Said sanyu...

" no sanyu...dont scold her!!"...Randhir said...
Thus hiya looked at him with a hope that at least her dad remembers her b'day...

"Actually the fault is in our mom dad!! They hv always given her everything... On her single demand...and see now she had bcm this much adamant!! I am telling u we should drop her in some boarding school...as I don't want any type of major hectic in future!!"... Said Randhir...

Tears rolled down from her eyes...and she looked at the clock which was striking 11:55pm...

A hope was still there in her heart that they may wish her...

But again they started..continued their arguments about her..
Removing her tears...she looked at the clock for the last time which was striking 12am by then..

She chuckled and made her mom and dad turn towards the banner...where it was written..." HAPPY B'DAY HIYA" in bold letters...

Their eyes grew widen...and they looked at each other in embarrassment...
"It's not dadu or dadi's fault dad!! Infact it was mine...that I hv waited for my mom dad since so long...with a small hope that atleast they will wish me...and give me their blessings on my b'day!! But yes!! U r right its was all my adamancy... And I am really sorry for that...if possible then plz pardon me for this fault!!"...said hiya and started leaving the place...

While sandhir kept rooted at the place hearing their daughter's answer which made them speechless!!
