Throwback to My Birthday


Greetings!

15 feb is my birthday, and it's the day of some celebrations. Though i don't like it much but as a matter of gathering and having a good party, it is a good thing. It is an occasion on which we friends get a chance to sit together and enjoy together.


On 15 February, I was at home and i invited my friends for birthday party. Though it was their responsibility to organize a surprise party for me, that would be memorable for me. But, they are very sluggish in doing some memorable things for me. Last year, in 2024, I also organized a party, and this year, too, i kept the tradition alive. I hope that next year, they will try to give me a surprise. My mother made biryani, kheer(rice pudding) for them, and i bought red velvet cake
That night, we tried our best to be children 😉. We played many games which we used to play during our childhood including hide and seek. We laughed a lot on truth and dare game. It was a night full of enjoyment.

Many days after, I came to Islamabad. I was sure that my university friends might have planned to give me a surprise party. Somehow, i was aware of the place they have decided because i know their minds. I know their eyes.

It was 22 February, raining outside and evening floating without having any sun on the edge of the skies. Under umbrella, we were walking. I reached on place at exact time but those friends who were supposed to give me surprise were not there.

What type of surprise was it?
Those who were supposed to give surprise, they were invisible and not available at that moment. I was getting a little angry but my two friends, who were standing with me, were more angry than me. That's why i absorbed my anger and looked at the positive sides of the picture. The positive side was that they were making efforts for me and giving me surprise (though i know, but it's still a surprise to be happy).

We waited for our mates. By walking in the market, we tried level best to kill the time. Sabiha was not feeling well, and she was with bad health. So, we thought to go inside the restaurant and sit over there until our friends arrived.

We went inside. A waiter came to us to take order, but we asked for time and told them that we are waiting for friends. They let us sit there. Basit and Sabiha both were sitting with mood off. I was trying to calm them down.
My other friends, who were late, called me and told me that they are stuck in heavy traffic because of cricket teams in Pakistan. I tackled the situation easily and suggested them to be at complete ease.

After two hours of wait, they arrived with beautiful smiles on faces, i know those smiles were heavy. They forced themselves to smile because it was my day. I also tried to smile and i did smiling.
for the party. I celebrated my birthday among many wishes from my friends. Interestingly, these all friends are also on hive and it was more like a #hivemeetup.


They bought cake, candles and a crown for me 😉. I was about to become weird. I started acting weird. I was having anxiety that everyone is seeing me as i am wearing crown 👑.


With some smiles on faces, candles lit up on the cake. Restaurant played song "Happy Birthday To You". I received clappings and wishes from complete strangers too.

After cutting the cake, we ordered burgers and fries for all of us. Overall, burgers were large, but taste disappointed me a bit. I was expecting so much from these burgers.

We took some pictures in the restaurant and then we walked out.


We were supposed to sit somewhere and have some tea. But, mood of everyone was crazily off that's why we headed back to university. It is a bitter sweet memory.


See you next 💫

I think I got to feel your anxiety about the wait, because expectations were really high, but the good thing is that you didn't judge them and you had a nice time celebrating. Sometimes things don't turn out the way we expect, but even in moments like that we can enjoy it differently, and you did. I send you a warm hug friend and may this year of life bring you many blessings for your future and everything you plan 🙏❤️.... You Absolutely Rockkk!!! 👍😎🔥📸🎂❤️

Your words are 100 percent correct and you hit the right side. I didn't judge them. Though my expectations were much high but I let things move in the direction they were going.

I think some scenes are missing or might not be added intentionally 😕

Yes I didn't add those moments because I want to keep them private

No one knows what happened after 9 inside that hall.

Still many people who were not invited they know very well 😉

It seems that you really enjoyed celebrating your birthday

Yes you are right. I really enjoyed my birthday. Hoping that next year will be great for me.

Two hours of waiting, I kill them hahaha, I have no patience to wait, my friends are like that, and that stresses me, but as you say it's time to smile and try to have a good time, that's what's important, greetings.

I smiled, laughed and absorbed every worry and anger. Because they did efforts to make my birthday memorable. Well, I was angry too over them 😆

I'm glad you had such a great time on your birthday, it's been a while and the joy of that day still resonates. It also makes me happy to see you surrounded by your faithful friends, who I follow closely here in Hive, I feel like I already know them all despite the distance hahaha. A hug for you my friend...

I know you are closely related to my other friends too. Surprisingly and interestingly, you are often in our conversations. Whenever we all talk about hive, we somehow talk about you. You are my friend and In Sha Allah(By Grace of Allah) I am gonna meet you one day.

Happy birthday my friend and what a great way to celebrate and celebrate that great day, where it is incredible everything that is there and even now I craved some of that cake hahaha. I hope you continue to enjoy that great day and moments like that are unique.

At first you should go and have some cake because we shouldn't let cravings to go high 😋

Well said friend
