Hi everyone
You might have noticed that my last few posts have been all about birthdays and treats. Well, I promise, this will be the last one about birthdays So, on November 7th, it was my eldest sister’s birthday, and as I have mentioned before, we don’t really have any big birthday traditions at home. Usually, we just get a cake, and that’s it. Anyway, back to the story ...
This was her first birthday since she got married, and she was staying over at our place. We were pretty relaxed since we didn’t plan to do much, but then she told me something..
She shared that it was her first birthday after marriage, and her husband hadn’t even remembered it. She felt disappointed, saying See, husbands change after marriage .
He used to wish me right at 12:00 am but now he didn’t even call or text to ask if we are getting a cake or not I told her, Why not just remind him? Maybe he forgot.
But she replied, “How can I just remind him? It’s a special day I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of how birthdays become such a big deal after marriage.
Then, around 10 p.m., she went to bed, still disappointed. Suddenly, my brother-in-law called me and said he was bringing a cake at midnight but wanted it to be a surprise. He asked me to quietly open the gate for him when he called again. So, technically, he hadn’t forgotten! He told me to keep my sister busy when he arrived so he could surprise her.
At 11:45 p.m., he called, and I went to open the door. He handed me the cake, asked me to hide it in the fridge, and told me to bring it out at midnight. I then casually told my sister Hey, your husband’s here to see you.” She was so happy to see him but didn’t realize that he’d also brought a cake.
When the clock struck midnight, I brought out the cake, and she was completely surprised! She was thrilled, and when she read the message on the cake, “HBD my wife,” she laughed so much. After cutting the cake, she joked, this is not fair midha Here I was, sad that he’d forgotten, while you two were planning this surprise
I told her that if I had spoiled the surprise, it wouldn’t have been as fun It was such a sweet moment to witness after her marriage, and I truly hope they stay this happy and loving always. Ameen
