It was around 14:55am when June came out of the bathroom in Subh's hotel room after a quick shower.
She had wrapped a white bathrobe with the hotel logo on it.
The thoughts of the day flashed upon her mind and she couldn't help but curve her lips into a beautiful smile.
'Best Birthday Ever!' she told herself.
Unlatching the door, she stepped out into the rug to let the water drain down from the hair.
But, why was it so dark?
She remembered that both of them not very big on turning on the lights when they were devouring each other a little while ago... But, the blue ceiling light was still on then.
"Subh?" June called out, first softly and then a little louder.
And, amidst the dark June heard his confirming husky voice singing the tune.
"Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday my dear June...."
A flash of a moment,and then all the lights in the room glistened back on, revealing atleast ten red heart shaped balloons and a small trolley tray with a chocolate truffle cake on it.
June looked away immediately, running her fingers through her damp hair and desperately trying to hide a tear.
"You... This wasn't needed!" She cleared her throat and spoke in a choked voice.
"It was needed!" Subh came forward and smiled brightly at her, raise the plastic knife in his palm.
"Don't do this to me..." June's eyes were flowing. "I'm going to fall very hard on the reality once you go back, Subh!" She sniffed a tear back and he tied her into a giant bear hug.
"Shushhh.... " He comforted her.
"Nothing bad is gonna happen June... Come on, let's cut the cake!"
He helped her wipe her tears and lead her gently to the trolley.
"When did you arrange all these?"
"Um... Early in the morning." Subh smirked meaningfully.
A sweet birthday tune played on the smartphone as June cut the cake slowly, as another round of happy tears roll down her red cheeks.
She raised her hand to feed him the cake and he licked her finger hungrily making her smile.
"This was perfect!" She inhaled sharply.
"Thank you so much Subh...! This means a lot to me."
Subh looked down.
"You have no idea how much you have helped me." He murmured.
"Helped you? How?"
"Nevermind!" Subh chuckled softly, pulling her closer to him as they roll on the bed on each other once again.
"Now, how about some steamy birthday gift girl?" He winked at her suggestively making her roll her eyes.
"What exactly do you have in mind?"
"Spa... A hot one?"
"Sounds perfect!"
