A/N : hii... Here's the second part of my surprise.

Hope the birthday Girl likes it.

Happy Reading!

Palak rushes to her room and bangs the door...

"huh... Kisi ko kuch yaad nahi. Rohan jeeju ko meeting mein jana tha, aur Karthik jeeju ko bhi... Toh yahan kyun aaye... Di ko bhi yaad ni..." she speaks.

"sab yaad hai, par mera birthday nahi... I hate them..." she said and threw the cushions on the floor.

Someone was spying on her...

"I promise, this will be your best birthday."

Living Room

Ritika, Ritvik, Sakhi were busy with each other. Little Sanaya was asleep on her father's shoulder. Roohi, Keerthi, Shubhi and Disha were in the kitchen.

"ye ladki toh naraz ho gayi. Manayenge kaise?" disha looked at her sisters.

"tu pareshan mat ho dishu, sham ko apne ap thik ho jayegi." keerthi replied.

Her mother in law looked at her... "Arey keerthi beta, kyun bechari ko pareshan kar rhi ho? Pehle hi Prateek ki wajah se udaas thi."

Keerthi smiled at her... "ohho maa, sab thik ho jayega... Aur apki choti bahu bhi." she said.

"keerthi ji thik keh rahi hain aunty. Ap bas shaam ka wait kijiye." he said with a playful grin.

Soon, they were working according to the plan told by Rohan. Here, in the room, everything seemed quiet to her. She came out of the room and found her mother-in-law sitting in the living room. She asked her...

" Maa... Sab log chale gaye?"

"nahi beta, wo tumhari Behnein upar wale guest room mein hai, aur keerthi apne room mein. Kya hua?" she asked.

Palak nods sadly..."Okay maa... Acha mujhe abhi urgently office jana hai. Sham tak aa jaungi. Aap khayal rakhiyega." She said and picking up her bag she left.

As soon as Palak, everyone gathered and started planning. Roohi and Keerthi took over the kitchen. Disha, Surya and Karthik were to take care of the decoration. Rohan and Shubham were planning another surprise. Shubhi was to take care of the four kids. Everyone got busy with their jobs. Roohi was quite suspicious about what Rohan was planning and so she asked him but he denied telling her.

Meanwhile, the preparations were on full swing. Soon, it was evening and Palak was late in returning home. She checked her watch and it showed 7:30 pm... She thought...

"Oh no...bahut late ho gaya hai. Maa intezar kar rahi hogi...Prateek ka call bhi aaya hoga..." she was worrying. Fortunately, she got a cab and she started towards her home.

Home..

Palak reached home and rang the bell. But noone appeared. She looked around keenly and found that the door was open. She was surprised but pushed open the door. It was pitch dark inside.

"Maa... Kahan hain aap?Aur itna andhera kyun hain?" she shouted.

But noone replied. She thought to herself...

"Arey... Sab log kahan chale gaye!Lagta hai.. Sab mera birthday bhool ke ghumne chale gaye." She thought.

She walks to switch on the light. But as she raised up her hand, her hand touched something. Wait! This is not the switch board. It is someone...who's here? But before she could say or shout, someone kept hand on her mouth. She locked open her phone, and her eyes opened wide in surprise. The person removed his hand... And she coul just whisper..

"Tum!"

He smiled and nodded. She was flabbergasted to find Prateek in the house. He presented her a rose...

"Happy Birthday, My Love!" he said.

She looked at him and then asked... "Tumhe yaad tha?aur tum aaj yahan kaise?" she was confused.

He pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her head...

"How could I forget your birthday Miss... Oops... Mrs NRI. And shadi ke baad ke pehle birthday ko kaise miss karta." he said lifting her chin up.

She flashed a blushy smile and hugged him...

"Acha hua tum aagaye... Baaki toh kisi ko yaad bhi nhi ki aaj mera birthday hai." She said snuggling herself close to him.

Meanwhile, the lights were switched on and she could hear birthday looked up to find everyone there. Keerthi was holding a cake in her hands. Beside her was Karthik...

" Happy birthday Princess! "he wished.

" kaisa laga mera surprise, Dramaqueen? " asked Rohan, walking towards her.

Palak was bewildered..." Aap logon ko yaad tha? "

Roohi nodded her head..." Ofcourse...hum tera birthday kaise bhool sakte hain. " She said hugging her and gave her a gift wrap.

"toh aap log mujhe sata rahe they? Aur prateek?" she asked.

"prateek ka kaam khatam ho gaya tha. Wo aane wala tha toh humne yeh plan kiya. Waise yahan aane ka plan tumhari behen ka tha. Maine bas prateek se kaha tha ki wo aise tumhe mile."rohan explained.

And this happiness is priceless." prateek said, cupping her face.

Palak was teary eyed by now. Her whole family was with her on her birthday. She couldn't thank God enough for this. She was happy. Her love, Prateek, was with her and her whole family was here to make her feel precious on her birthday.

Prateek led her to the table and they cut the cake together. She fed some cake to him. And they had a good time together. Palak glanced at everyone...

"this is indeed the best birthday. Mujhe laga aap log bhool gaye honge." She said.

Rohan patted her cheeks... How could we? You're a gem to be treasured. " he said.

" and you're always here. "prateek said keeping her hand on his chest. She smiled and he pulled her in his warm embrace. They were indeed a" PERFECT FAMILY."
