In this part of the story, I will tell you about the birthday of one of my friends. And it was no ordinary one, but the birthday of my lady in Green. You know birthdays can be important for certain individuals, while for those who was born on 29th February, I guess they don't usually like it.
It was the month of May, and here in Bangladesh, the weather in the month of May is characterized by the hot and dry season on the outskirts of monsoon. The month of May is dry and hot.
As the month progresses further, the humidity levels increases, which makes the weather uncomfortable, especially in the cities where we are trapped inside our concrete buildings. Yes, since it is the pre-monsoon season, there was slight rainfall in certain areas of the country, yet Dhaka remains hot as hell. As the temperature rises, life in the city adapts to the heated conditions. Streets get busier with activity, vendors selling juices, and different types of refreshing drinks that provide much-needed relief from the scorching sun. One could hardly imagine the conditions of those who can't afford fans or peopletravellingg in buses and streets with so much heat. Dhaka city lacks trees to cover it, which is why the heat is so strong here. We humans are the reasons behind global warming and the rising pollution of the earth. Back in the day, the heat was strong, but nowadays, the heat gets unbearable.
It was the middle of May, and the date was 25 on the calendar. It was my day off, as I did not have any class and was just chilling at home. Back then, we didn't have streaming sites to watch movies, so we would mostly watch videos and memes on social media sites. And I was just casually browsing through social media, trying to find new memes and funny videos. We had recently bought WiFi , so I was eager to test the server and the network conditions.Att that moment, I saw someone's post on her timeline. It was one of our mutual friends. He wrote a post with a picture of a cake and added a caption that read, "Happy Birthday."
What! That was my reaction, it was her birthday, the most important person of this month. My heart skipped a beat as I realized the significance of the date. It was her birthday, the birthday of my crush, and I didn't know this. I couldn't believe the fact that I had forgotten such an important day. I cursed myself for not paying enough attention to her. I couldn't acknowledge her birthday, and here I am, thinking that I would be the man of her dreams. What kind of a man would I be if I couldn't even remember the birthday of such an important lady.
The perfect man is someone who cares about every little detail about his queen. He should respect her and care for her. That was the principal, but I broke my own code, so I decided that although it's late, I should wish her for her birthday. However, I was nervous and uncertain about how to proceed with this. Would it be appropriate to wish for her right now? Should I keep it simple or take a bold step forward? Such questions were arising chaos in my mind, but I was determined not to let this chance slip away. So I went to seek help from one of my buddies from my old school. He was an expert in these sorts of things. You can say that he was the woman's man. The popular guy among the girls, but a gentle character. He was always there for me and still is, although we are separated by universities and our own chaotic lifestyles. But whenever we speak we try to relive our best days. Ok let's get back to the story.
I immediately knocked him on the message app and asked him to call me when he's free. Within a few minutes, he called me up, thinking it was an emergency. I really appreciate this type of friend who is always there when you need them. As he called me, I told him about my query, and he gave me a smile. It was as if to tell me, he was happy to see me growing and trying to socialize with others. He asked me to write something that's unique and heart-to-heart. It should be something that she can relate to, and it must show a certain level of affection. And, after hearing his words, I put my phone up and decided to type up a message.
I took my time and wrote a simple message; "Happy Birthday 🎂, May all your dreams come true, And you reach your goals. Rise high and tall as your ambitions. Wish you many, many Happy returns of the day. Sorry for being late. Please accept my apologies.😊.
And now it was a waiting game to see what her response to my message was on her timeline. Moreover, others could see my post on her timeline as well. So I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
Back then, it was a popular concept to study a person'sbehaviourr based on their zodiac. And, so, I tried to research a bit on her personality profile based on her zodiac sign. People who are born on 25th May fall under the zodiac sign of Gemini. Geminis are extremely sensitive and compassionate. They care about others and are respectful of everyone. Individuals who are Gemini are charismatic, intellectual, and adaptable to situations. Geminis are communicative and enjoy lively conversations with their loved ones. Everything checks out on her personality. As if she was built for it. That is why I was careful in my choice of words. On the other hand, I am Leo. I wondered how compatible we would be together.
That whole day, after I tapped on the post button, I restlessly waited for her to answer and would occasionally see who else was posting on her timeline. Finally, I received the bell notification. I thought I would get a thoughtful reply, but she only said "Thank you 😊". And it was good enough for me. I was happy she read my post, even though it was just a small glimpse of my inner thoughts and emotions.
