Birthday celebration

IHH, meeting room, top floor

Back to present

Garry again looked at Alasca and petted her back, conveying ... if something went wrong .. he would handle it for her and bring it in control.

Alasca showed him a small smile as in agreeing to his intention.

Johnson who was still so astonished hearing the name Leena and marriage? For heavens sake he was still a batchelor to being with! as for Leena... he didn't know if it was a correct time to talk about those old memories . Another thing was that he never thought Alasca would still remember Leena... it looked like even he forgot who this so called LEENA was after all.

"Alasca? so it's you , good to know that you are achieving great heights and much more than I can even think. But a correction. ... am still single and no such plan to get married any moment haha.

I never thought that you would also go for doctorate phd although it wasn't impossible too with your father being a renowned doctor . "

Alasca was just staring at him without saying a word. It didn't matter to her any more whether he was married or not and maybe she now didn't even care whether he and Leena were still together or not. She just didn't want her life to get disrupted again. All she wanted was a peaceful ending of her life. A story without any bad happenings.

"Babe! now even the introduction and other formalities are done. Can we now celebrate your birthday? "

Alasca gave a huge smile to Nath " of course let's cut the cake. I hope you got the right flavor this time Garry ? "

"Alli you can't bring that again , of course! I bought you your favorite blueberry cake with berries on top! "

Hearing his cute outburst everyone started to laugh. The earlier tensed situation was lightened a bit.

" Alasca, happy birthday. Sorry I don't have anything to gift you right now except giving you my earnest wishes. "Johnson was still not able to adjust as he still couldn't believe that he was meeting an old school mate here and that too she was the boss here and it was her birthday that day.

'Why didn't you choose another day to join this hospital 'Johnson couldn't help but scold himself in his mind. He really wasn't ready for so much surprises and from what he could see, Alasca didn't look happy at all seeing him there.

'Maybe due to our past tensions...looks like she is yet to get over it ? 'Johnson thought

Almost after half an hour

".... okay I will be coming within twenty minutes. Just hold in for a bit "

Nath just ended a call when Alasca hugged him from behind.

"Nathan... thankyou. I am very happy today, if not for you I don't think I would have even made efforts to celebrate it. I was really delighted with your surprise. And of course I will thank Garry later too. "

"Alli " Nath smiled back at Alasca as he turned towards her. He cupped her cheeks and looked at her big, clear and shiny eyes "You don't need to thank me. This is the least I could do for you to bring a smile on your face .Can't I? Actually I had planned a day out with you but I know how important work is for you, so I could only give you a small surprise. "

"Nathan, I love you " Alasca gave a peck on his lips but before she could part Nathan grabbed her closer and deepened the kiss. She accepted his hot tongue in her lips which was slowly entering her mouth .

He was moving very slowly as if asking for her permission , when she didn't reject him he told her tighter and kissed until they were out of breath and panting.

Nath bought his mouth closer to her ears and whispered "I would have loved to take you on a drive and then a romantic dinner date, but am truly sorry. Just now the manager called, my presence is needed in the office. ".

Alasca looked in his eyes. He looked very apologetic.

Alasca gave him a reassuring hug saying " It's ok, whatever you did already made my day and as my work is important and you respect it so do I. Just go! you are already late I guess "

"Alli I will ask Garry to drop you. Meet you soon tomorrow! " saying this he went out of the room towards his destination.
