I woke up in the morning and when I turned towards the side table of my bed, instead of the red neon light alarm clock making sound, there was no sound at all, just a note

"Turned off your alarm since you don't have college as Diwali break has started and you don't have to wake up early at least today, stay in until you are asked otherwise, and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

I could easily make out it was Sanya's handwriting, and I smiled to myself I should have known she is all about surprises, that's why none of them wished me last night, but why did my parents didn't? And I got my answer when Kabir unlocked my room and we went out to find, not only mine, but Dhruv's, Aditi's and even Sanya's parents there. I touched everyone feet as they wished me happy birthday, then even my friends hugged me and wished me happy birthday but Sanya was nowhere to be seen, then even Aditi and Dhruv excused themselves after sometime, I don't know what other surprises they are planning.

 before that it was "it's Shaurya's birthday you can keep everything aside and if not for him come and celebrate for us".

 I sighed and replied "I'll see what can I do", 

then opened Dhruv's message, because I knew Nishi can ask me to come back because I didn't tell her everything, but Dhruv won't but it's not every time as you think it is

 "Sanya I know you don't want to be here, but you are needed here, Aditi needs you, come back from the backdoor as soon as you read this message" 

"Oh God, how did I forget, Aditi never had a good relation with her father, and his unannounced arrival would have been very difficult for her, I need to be there for her" I thought to myself, but as I was reading the texts Dean ma'am called me
