Nandini was looking at the decorations. It was perfect as her favorite color was used. Many things that changed after she left FAB8. But one of the changes was the color she chose as her favorite. She had slowly accepted Manik's favorite as hers, RED.

Not only Nandini but even Manan's favorite was red. He related red to blood as he believed that the blood relation he shared with his mother was the most cherished ones in the entire world.

Her admiration had stopped when she got a tap on her shoulder. She was shocked and happy on seeing the people in front of her. It was Laksh & Swara.

Swara (while hugging Nandini): Happy Birthday Nandu!

Nandini (while retrieving): thank you so much for coming here. I am really sorry if my son troubled you and interrupted your honeymoon and ordered to come here.

Laksh (while side hugging Nandini): 1st of all, Happy Birthday Pari and 2nd of all, we love you a lot, toh itna toh banta hai, aur waise bhi tumhari wajesehi toh hum dono mileaur hamari Shaadi hui.

Nandini: aww...... thank you so much Lucky.

Laksh: who toh me hun because I got the best sister in the world who might not be my blood but are bonded together more than a blood relation. Anyways, take this gift and once again Happy Birthday sis.

Swara: and take this one too. It's from someone special. Open and see what is inside it.

Nandini smiled at the couple and started to un rap the box given by Swara 1st. when she opened, she was astonished on seeing the object in it. It was a diamond necklace. Even Swara and Laksh were shocked on seeing the diamond necklace. There was also a note attached to it.

The note said........

Nandini smiled at the note and kept it back in the box.

Nandini: come, Lucky and Swara, let's sit and talk.

Laksh (smiling): yah sure, anyways my knees ae hurting real bad,

Both women laughed at the guy and soon made their way to the round tables. All of Nandini's colleague, partners, designers, album producers were present there. Most of them smiled at the lady, who was utterly young and gorgeous with her gown. A lot of men were dying of lust and women out of jealousy.

Nandini saw FAB8 were sitting on one of the tables, so thought to join them. They smiled widely at her. They were about to ask her but got stopped by her.

Nandini: did Manan make the food on his own or did you people help him?

Cabir: woah, chill sis. Well yes but only the girls. Kya hua? Was the food bad?

Nandini (smiled widely): that is why I felt like that. Manan can't make such exceptional Indian food without me beside him, he only knows how to make Mexican, Italian, Japanese and continental cuisines. Waise, what else did you people do.

Navya: hum sab ladkiyon ne khana banane me Manan ko help kiya.

Alya: I also helped in selecting a nice gown for you. After all I run a fashion store back in India.

Nandini: wow, I didn't know that. Next time, I'll definitely get dresses from your store.

Alya smiled at her and received a faint smile from her.

Nandini: what else?

Mukthi: I had helped Manan in giving a good background music and also I am the DJ for this party.

Nandini: yeh toh sirf ladkiyan hi thi. What did the boys do?

Abhimanyu: well, Aryaman and I were taking away all the electronic gadgets that have today date present on them. The two of us also disconnected the landlines too.

Dhruv: I removed all the wall calendars from the house.

Cabir: I did what I am best in which you will get to know later. Plus, I called all the guests over.

Manik: I was the one who removed all the wall clocks. Manan took the advantage of my height.

Aryaman: and I also shared with Manan all your childhood photos that you saw in the video in the morning.

Nandini: wow, that was really nice of all of you.

Nandini was going to talk more but got interrupted by a voice, Manan voice. The lights were off and the spotlight was at the center of the stage. Nobody had occupied that spotlight even now but who cares as the voice of the boy was enough to mlet the mother sitting.

Manan: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM. One more year has turned old and you look prettier than before. I want to make this year more special than the previous one and I am sure that you have already seen it. I love you more than anyone mom. You ae the very reason for my existence. Without you there isn't any Manan Murthy. That necklace I have gifted shows nothing about my love for you because I can do way more than that for you and your happiness. You had held my hand tight and brought me this world of Music. I have done 10 Albums and one on its way because you trusted me. With my hard work and determination, I have earned money from these Albums and by offering a necklace from that money, it will be no less than asking god for blessings. I don't believe in those statues that are called God because the real God for me is you. If anyone asks me right now how much I love you, then I would just say that I love you enough to give my life to you. You have been with me in all my bad times. You have always held my hand tight when I thought I was slipping from this world. You have been a mother, father, brother, sister, friend, doctor, nurse, teacher and many other people. You are only one, no one can replace your place. You are the true definition of my world. This song is to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Nandini had already made a pool of tears by hearing this speech. Everyone in the hall were shedding tears but they had to stop because of Manan's song.

Saal bhar mein sabse pyaara

Hota hai ek din

Sau duaaen de raha dil

Tumko aaj ke din

(while strumming his guitar. It was the most beautiful day of the whole year. Hundreds of blessings ae been given to you.)

I wish you happy happy birthday

Happy Birthday

Happy happy birthday to you (x4)

(he started dancing crazily. He ran around her and then light pulled her from the side to gain her attention.

Ye rang laaye meri manatein

Puri ho teri sabhi hasratein

Sare jahaan ki khusi ho teri

Ab toh yahi aarzoo hai meri

(let this color bring out my wishes. Let all you all those things that give you happiness happen. Let you have all the worlds happiness. This is my wish from now and forever)

Ek ishare pe tere mein jaa luta dunga

Tere khawbo ko hakikat main bana dunga

(with one gesture of yours I can give you my life. I will make your dreams a reality.)

I wish you happy happy birthday

Happy Birthday

Happy happy birthday to you (x4)

(he went back to the stage and started to sing and dance)

Sab kimti gift laaye magar

Tohfa mohabbat ka laya hu main

Har lambha main sath dunga tera

Saaya tera ban ke aaya hu main

( I have got a lot of expensive gifts but this time I have brought you a gift of love that the 2 of us share. I will spent each and every moment with you. I have come here to be your shadow.)

Dard ki koi lehar tujhe chu na payegi

Koi aafat bhi jo aaye laut jayegi

(not even a single layer of pain will be able to touch you. What ever trouble that come your way will return back.)

I wish you happy happy birthday

Happy Birthday

Happy happy birthday to you (x4)

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

To you.... (x2)

Happy birthday to you...

Now Manan was standing a few meters away. Soon enough, the meters had reduced to inches when the two of the hugged each other. All of Nandini's and Manan's friends were looking at the mom & son duo with utter happiness and praying that this bond never breaks or end. Nandini broke apart with him and looked at Manan angrily.

Nandini: don't you ever talk about death in front of me.

Manan (holding): Okay I won't.

FAB8 were admiring the 2 with so much of joy.

Manan: mom, I have a video for you, actually for everyone.
