Terrace - A Short Story. 11.30 pm - Friday - 26th September "Hey, are you sleeping?", his first sentence instead of "hello" when he called exactly a night before her birthday. On that night, she knew his answer for "why you called me so early, still half an hour is to go?" Because he doesn't wants to hear "the person you are trying to call is currently busy, please try after sometime" on her birthday. True, only he knows that he is going to propose her on this birthday. They talked as if they are talking after so long time inspite they hung up their calls in the same evening. She was living in a rent house and he was just a city apart from her, but was studying in a same college of their state. So it was obvious that they are going to meet each other tomorrow morning for the classes. But, still he wants to make this night special for her. And, thus, he also wants that he should be the first one to wish her, so he continued with all his cheesy lines and immature talks to make her laugh again and again. Exactly at 11.55, he said, "Okay, listen, what if I come to your place this night to celebrate your birthday?" This made her laugh and she said, "you stay with your family and it's not possible for you to travel here for me this night, so don't be silly now!!!"
