Surprise!!

There was a joint family of six members, including the grandparents. It
was the 75th birthday of the grandmother and the family planned to
celebrate it by throwing a surprise party. The family began going out for
preparations and since it was supposed to be a surprise, they would

leave their grandmother alone at home. As the big day came nearer, the
grandmother started feeling isolated and lonely. She believed that since
everyone was caught up in their own business, they had forgotten about
her birthday. She felt sad but never expressed it to anyone. On the day
of her birthday, no one wished her. Everyone started getting ready and
told her that they had their own respective plans. The grandfather asked
her to accompany him for a walk. It was all a part of their plan. The
grandfather took the route to the venue and didn’t make it look in a way
that could make her suspicious. Upon reaching the venue, the lights
suddenly went on and everybody shouted, “Happy Birthday”. The
grandmother was overwhelmed and tears of love came rolling down her
eyes. This was the happiest birthday till then.
