It was 3rd December, Nagi's birthday. Their college was closed for winter vacation and she was quite excited. She had woken up, although she didn't want to, at 7:00 am (the girl was unable to sleep anymore and for her 7:00 was 2:30 in the morning). But she expected a gift from Hayate, something which will (according to her) express his love for her. But, it was 5:00 pm already, and he hadn't even wished her yet! She was shocked but tried to maintain her composure. She had been wished by most of her friends and disliked it (she wanted to be wished by Hayate first). Maria had prepared a tasty cake for her but while she ate it, she was quite distracted. "If you want Hayate to wish you, just say him it's your birthday. The guy must have forgotten. Who can blame him, though? He has got a lot of work to do." Maria advised her. "Huh. My birthday comes only once a year, and if he can't even remember or keep that in his tiny little brain then he has no right to be my butler." Nagi rapped out as she sipped her tea from her cup with closed eyes and a frown (and a blush). According to her he should remember her birthday. It was her seventeenth birthday after all. Four years passed and a mistake such as this had never happened before, so she was unhappy. "He can remember about going to college, about waking me up early, about lecturing me what is moral and immoral, almost about anything in this whole wide world, but not my birthday! That's mean." She complained which was certainly a typical and ungrateful-brat like expression. Maria sighed. "That girl never changes. Although she has turned 17 today, she is still so immature." "Maybe he hasn't gotten the chance yet to wish you nicely. Why don't you wait? He might, in the evening." She replied.

But, 7:00 pm appeared and Hayate never wished her. Well, after completing all his tasks at the kitchen in the morning, he had been studying the whole day. The poor boy's marks were horrible and he had been thinking about it a lot lately. Study, study and study was the only thing except his mistress which rotated around his head (the phrase 'except his mistress' is used because he had to protect her from burglars, kidnappers, yakuza, perverts and lechers a lot). After completing all his self-study and solving 20 sums perfectly, he stretched on his chair. "Phew, complete. Studies are getting hard now. I have to ask Hinagiku san next time to explain me some calculations."

While he said these words, he stared at the clock which almost made his eyes pop out. "8 pm! How much did I study huh? And, and I…" Nervously, he stared at a beautiful but small little crimson box on the table. "I hadn't even wished mistress yet! It's her birthday after all. She must be so much mad at me." Hurriedly he snatched the box and went downstairs. There, he saw Maria but not Nagi. "Miss Maria, how are you? Where's mistress?" He asked in a humble manner. "I'm fine. Nagi is in the garden, I suppose. She was in quite a huff a while ago." Maria replied.


Nagi sat on the grass. A cool breeze blew her hair and made our heroine feel cool. She loves breezes like that. Even the sky was beautiful and starry. The full moon showered a beautiful shimmer on her. She seemed to take Hayate's breath away. That guy was watching her for a minute or two. The last time he ever felt like this was when he had seen Athena. But, why did this girl also made him feel the same way? Her beautiful green eyes felt like they were hiding a mysterious secret. But tearing himself away from that distraction, he said in a soft voice, "Mistress?" Nagi turned at him and rose up. "Hayate…? I thought you were studying. What are you doing here?" her voice seemed mild and anger-free. "Um, I have come to wish you happy birthday. I am sorry I am late. You see, in the bustle of today's work, I…" "It's okay. You always have the time and desire to study. What does my birthday mean to you anyway?" Nagi reprimanded. "Look I am very sorry, mistress. It's not as if your birthday doesn't mean anything to me. I was just too busy today. Forgive me." He said in his most apologetic tone. Then producing that crimson box from his pocket he said, "Happy birthday mistress."

Nagi looked at the box and took it in her hands in a serious manner, asking, "What's this?" Then opening it she saw a beautiful platinum ring in it. "It's a ring! You are giving me a ring?" It was more than a surprise for her. "It's the first object I ever bought for a very special person with all the savings I did in my childhood. After all you knowthat my parents made me labour from my childhood. I bought it for her so that it reminds me about her always. But I never got the chance to give her this ring. Today, as I give it to you it reminds me of my childhood desire." Hayate explained in a sad but cheerful manner. Nagi looked at it and blushed. "Special person… Is it your most beloved girl?"

"Yes, so will you accept it? It's a little cheap though." He requested. "I…will." Nagi's voice came muffled because she lowered her head and her bangs hid her eyes. But anyone can notice the blush which formed on her cheeks and understand it (except Hayate). Slowly, Hayate took the ring, took her right hand on his own and put the ring on her middle finger. "It looks nice in your finger." He said, smiling with his eyes closed." Nagi stared at it. Indeed, it seemed to be the most beautiful ring she has ever laid her eyes upon.

"Thanks Hayate. It's beautiful." She said. "Now here's something from me." Saying so, she produced a beautiful diamond ring from her pocket. "My mother gave this ring to me, before she died. She said me to give this to my most…precious person." She blushed while saying all this. "Um, I will give it to you, as a reward." Hayate looked at her, in a confused way. "But it's your mother's gift to you…" He couldn't even complete his sentence before she took his hand and put the ring in it. "There. It looks perfect." And she smiled.

Hayate looked at the ring. "But, didn't your mother tell you to give this to your most pre..." "Yes, so I give this to you. You are my precious butler." Nagi answered back. "Moreover, whenever you look at this ring you will remember me always, won't you?"

Her face was lovely. Her voice was sober. His heart thumped in his chest after hearing that reply. But that proved she wanted him. Why wasn't he unable to say anything, then? That was a childish answer, but seemed to be so thoughtful. He stared at her. His thoughts vanished into thin air.

"Hayate? What happened? You aren't speaking?" Nagi asked, concerned. "What? No, I was thinking…" He stammered.

"Thinking…? Anyways, you will stay with me and protect me always, right?" she enquired. "Yes, of course. I will stay with you always" Hayate replied.

"Really…? Always, right?" "Yup." He replied. "Fine. Then promise me…" Saying Nagi closed her eyes and rose a little bit from her height with her feet. "If you mean it, then kiss me, Hayate, because a kiss is an unbreakable promise." Nagi whispered softly.

Hayate's eyes widened a little bit as he stared at his mistress. He was astounded. But just as if her words had a magic spell which bound him, he lowered his face. Cupping her face gently with his hands, he closed his eyes and brought his face closer to her own. His heart thumped furiously and he blushed. Although he didn't understand why, he was going to do it. Their lips were just millimetres away from each other now and were about to touch but maybe fate was not on their support. "Nagi, Nagi where are you? Your grandpa's calling for you. Nagi." Maria called as she came into the garden. Their eyes became wide open at her voice in shock. As Maria came she saw Nagi standing alone in the garden, watching the moon. "Nagi, Hayate's not here? I thought he was with you." She said as she came nearer to Nagi. "He was here but left. Anyways let's attend the old geezer's phone call, shall we?"

Hayate was hiding behind one of the pillars' of the front porch. After they left, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Maria would have killed me if she had seen me going to kiss her. …Kiss her…I was going to kiss her?" He felt confused.


After dinner which was very delicious (Hayate made it) he went to his room. "College opens from tomorrow. I have to wake mistress up earlier. Oh yes, I haven't thanked her for this ring. I should. She mustn't be asleep yet."

Hayate went towards her room. He saw the light from underneath the door and went to the doorknob. As he was about to open the door he heard their voices. "He gave this ring to me. My birthday gift. You know, Maria, he even said me a special person. He wanted to give this ring to me from his childhood." "Oh really, then you should have rewarded him." Maria jested. "I did. I gave the diamond ring to him. I knew it. He said he loved me the first day we met. Oh Maria you know, I also…I…love him." Nagi blushes all the shades of red, crimson, scarlet and pink while saying that.

Maria stared with confusion towards her. Hayate almost felt his ears were deformed. He didn't have the courage to go inside her room after hearing that. While he slowly walked towards his own room, her words rotated inside his brain.

"Loves me…the mistress loves me? But…why…?"
