12:00

      I had been on toes all day preparing for midnight. I ran here and there to set things just right because I wanted this night to be special for him. Balloons, cake and drinks all done for tonight. All that he liked were on the menu for tomorrow. It’s his day and all I wanted him to do is smile. Masks, birthday caps and those funky party glasses all were just set right. Since dad is out of town I and mom took care for stuff to be perfect and fine. After all we love him so much we did all that he likes.

Mom kept him busy while I decorated his bedroom. With balloons all over the floor and cake set on his bed with a candle and knife. All geared up with masks and cap I patiently waited for him to come in when the clock struck twelve. In the dark room he entered all surprised. With me and mom screaming the birthday song he came and hugged us tight. When my ears heard those words,” Thank you so much didi (sister), I love you!” ,my eyes could see the hours old baby wrapped in a cloth in my hand who was now 15.

Happy Birthday my dear baby brother! :* :’)
