It was 15th April 2025.
Birthday of Sabiha, a dear friend, in fact, deer friend. Every time on birthdays, we make WhatsApp groups and decide the restaurant to give a surprise party. Well, these surprise parties are no longer surprise as every one of us now knows that they will get a party from other friends.
I was sitting at the back seat along with Sabiha and Anita. Basit, as usual, was sitting on the front seat with earpods in the ear and eyes floating over the mobile screen. Things were the same, normal but unusual was the happiness and change of birthday. This time we were going for the birthday of Sabiha.
Sabiha wanted a pink theme restaurant, but we were out of budget. We didn't go for any pink themed restaurant. Rather, we selected a Nursery type restaurant that is Dahlia Nursery + Cafe.
I remember one gesture of jawad. He touched and felt my dress. He uttered some words; Kharchy( spending money). Then he asked, "Where are you going?"
Well, these words of Jawad came to my mind out of blue and from nowhere.
While going to Dahlia, I looked at the face of Sabiha. She was happy by her smile, but i don't know. i was feeling that she wasn't happy from the real inside. I felt that she wanted to go to her desired restaurant. I was also in favor of going to her desired place. But, our one friend always changes plans and goes to such places that are suitable. I know going to Pink themed restaurant might be expensive for us, but we might have managed somehow. Now, there's nothing to regret as that moment has passed away.
Entered, welcomed by people.
Hurry hurry.... the first thing i want to go is washroom π.
Silence, Discussion is going on!
Bhai honestly, I don't remember pretentious and superficial food item's names. Oh God; Chicken this and Chicken that. So verbose names that i couldn't even spell them. But, my fellows have mastery in it π. I just eat whatever is there in front of me and if it's acceptable to my taste buds.
Hurrah!
Here's the birthday girl for whom we were there.
Plants and books resting peacefully on their shelves. I picked one book randomly but didn't open that one. Within a minute, I placed it back at its place.
Served!
Delightful and eye-catching items on the table.
Clueless about the pizza, for real. I was aware that they ordered two pastas of different types along with loaded fire fries.
We waited for almost half an hour to start endeavoring everything on table. We were waiting for our fourth and important partner, Arshia Naseem. Mistakenly, she was sitting at mistaken restaurant. She's unusual π.
We received her with positive smile and laughs, though inside was a hell of anger that why she was late. But, from outside, we remained polite as we didn't want her to feel off at such moment. Also, we wanted everything to run smooth.
We enjoyed food. Pizza was more like baked bread, pastas were average and one was super spicy. Fries were good.
After enjoying lunch, i think it was dinner π as i didn't have dinner that day, we ordered small and cute lotus milk cake for Birthday girl. Before cutting cake, we captured many photos together to keep as memory.
Happy Birthday Dear Sabiha
That's how we fight with food. It was more like a survival game, and we were fighting for our survival. It is always fun to eat in just one plate.
Look, How am i looking like? With my strange tilted eyes! Well, It was a little random and a little planned. I didn't think i would look this much bad π.
We enjoyed tea after having birthday party. We cracked jokes as usual, and Basit lit up cigarettes.
At last, we went to Safa Gold Mall. In that mall, Sabiha posed with a dummy, and we bought some cute makeup things for Sabiha. One dollar shop is must visit place if we are with Sabiha. She will find something for herself and then force us to buy her that item of one dollar. This time, we were forced to buy her some cute and small lipsticks. Well, it was her right to force us as that day was her birthday. We visited whole mall and then went back hostel.
That's how 15th April flied away !
Thank you so much π
