"Hey, naa unnoda birthday Wikipedia paathu than therinjukiten. Sollave illa paren!" Shalini's lips were curved into a wide grin.

"Solla venam nu than...to be honest I don't like my birthday" his voice turned to be in low spirits.

"Oh.....wanna share something?"

"It will only make you sad, leave it"

"Birthdays are about sharing your feelings, it's normal to feel blues. This day is all yours Samar" she cupped his face.

"Fine. My birthday is incomplete without my parents. Chithi chithappa avanga edathula irunthu enna nalla pathukaranga nu theriyum, but still a part of my heart would long for my parents whenever my birthday arrives."

Shalini sat adjacent to him and held his hand to let him know that she's here for him, asking to proceed.

"There's a specific reason I feel like this. On Father's Day 2005....

I made a greeting card for him during PE substitution period at my school, adding one of his humourous school principal quotes on the front side and colouring the whole thing.

Back home, my parents were arguing about their personal issues. He was about to slap amma, but I stopped him by yelling 'Appa'. Then I had to lock myself in my room...avanga kathava thattiyum naa thorakala.

Amma va appadi avaru nadathum bothu ennala poruthuka mudiyala. Kovathula....*breaking tone* antha greeting card ah naa kizhichu potuten. Antha naal full ah kovam irunthuchu...ena avanga intha mari sanda potu naa paathathu illa.

Followed by the next day, antha kizhinju pona greeting card ah appa paathutaru nu amma sonnanga. Avanga kita naa seriya pesama, appa kita sorry yum kekama school kelambiten...I was feeling depressed.

School oda environment enna divert panniruchu...then I was ready to apologise to my father. But a shocking news reached my ears- my parents' accident which lead to their....

Chithappa than enna school la irunthu pick up pannanga, inime enna legal ah adopt panratha plan panni avangalum chithi yum lawyer office la poitu formalities ah fill pannitanga. They have informed some close relatives of my mother's side. No one except Sahana knows that greeting card issue till now.

Kadaisi varaikum avarukita mannippu kekala nu en manasu odanju pochu. I was the indirect cause of their death. Appa oda photo va katti pudichu, mutham kuduthu, azhuthute athuku sorry sonnathu than micham. Oru maasama ippadi than feel pannen, then I moved on..."

His piercing past racked him to release a short streamline of tears, his shoulders slumped in agony.

Shalini immediately took him into her cage of compassion by gently carrying his head sideways to her shoulder. As much as she caressed his hair, his pain was disappearing and they interlocked their hands.

"Ithu nala than nee chithi chithappa anniversary appo feel panniya? Nee etho enkita maraikura nu appove thappa pattuchu. Neeye eppo manasu vittu pesuva nu than aniku kekala" she said while sniffing in between her tears.

"Ippo kuda naa azhuthathu amma appa nenichu illa, pakkathula enaku oru strong pillar of support ah nee irukiye nu nenichu than nimmathiya azhuthen..." he wiped his tears and said with a satisfying smile.

"You deserve this comfort Samar. Naane unkuda irukum bothu un parents unna vittu enga poida poranga?" she planted a soft kiss on the back of his palm.

He lifted his head and confessed "Apart from all these, ennoda birthday appo partying and cake cutting panratha vittuten, school la chocolates kudukrathu vittuten. Chithi special ah ethachu cook pannuvanga aprum kovil ku povom. Rare ah hotel la sapduvom"

"From this time it's going to be slightly different....enkuda terrace ku vaa"

"Hey, veetoda owner full permission kuduthara?"

"Shush shush! Nee pesama vaa..."

She tied a blindfold around his eyes and lead him up the terrace.

Removing the blindfold, his eyes widened as he saw a transparent fort built by her. Inside the fort was embellished with fairy lights along the corners, a bedsheet spread on the floor and two cushions.

"Hey, ithu..." he was out of words.

"Unnoda childhood, mottamadi la intha mari fort build panrathu unaku romba pudikum nu Sahana sonna. I've also did this during my childhood with friends using the same chair method" she swung her hands in joy.

"Cool! Those days I failed many times to build a perfect one, the cover used to fall on me. But mostly blanket than cover ah poduvom, nee transparent sheet use pannirka?"

"Athuku oru kaaranam iruku. Intha tent kulla vaanatha paathute oru night stay pannalam"

"Adada, did not see that one coming...sleepover, not bad" he smirked.

"Athukaga ennanamo kanakku podatha, aprum idea va cancel panna vendiya nelamai varum...but I won't"

"I promise no hanky-panky, but unnayum namba mudiyathu. Seriyana kedi nee"

"Alright, I promise. Ulla polama?"

They held hands and walked inside the fort, basking in the stars & the full moon illuminating the city like diamonds.
.
The opalascent sky of midnight released a fresh breeze of love for ShaMar.

"You brought back my childhood Shalini. Aana kosu kadi ku odomos iruntha nalla irukum" he teased.

"Athellam intha kit la iruku..." she showed him a small bag.

"Appo ok. Kaathu eppadi chillunu veesuthu la, athuvum unna pakkathula vechutu itha rasikrathu thani sugam than ya"

"Athuku than itha plan pannen...thoongurathuku munnadi namma school days pathi pesitu irupoma?" she laid her head sideways on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Pesalame...first nee sollu" he wrapped his arm around her.

"Illa, topper sir than first sollanum. Neeye sollu"

"Topic ah choose pannitu...first enna solla solriya nee?" he tickled her hip making her laugh.

"Hahaha....seri naane start panren...hahaha...enna vidu!" she shoved away his hand and gasped for air.

"School days serthu unnoda first 'boyfriend' pathi sollu" he requested in irritation as well as curiously.
