Habib's Birthday Celebration.

Bismillah...

Last Thursday was habib's birthday and silly Me actually had a surprise planned out for him but silly Me just don't know how to keep it a surprise and so, the 'surprise' was discovered by him even before i could surprise him... sigh...

Our phone conversation that morning:

Habib: Assalamualaikum
Me: W'salam
Habib: So what are your plans for today?
Me: I've presentation later and i'm stressed about it. Aft sch i've to go home n do my assignments which are due tomorrow. I've 2 project meetings tomorrow n i've to prepare for them. (then i continued rattling about how stressed i am)
Habib: Ooo...okay...
Me: Yah...ok then... can't talk to you much. Bye.
By the way, Happy Birthday! So sorry i can't celebrate with u this yr.
Habib: It's ok...It's not important. (Haha..pls don't give me that. i know u expect smthg from me)

(i chuckled to myself aft the whole conversation.)

That evening around 4, another phone conversation:

Me: What time do you finish work?
Habib: Around 5.
Me: Ok...can u accompany me to tekka coz i need to buy muruku. My family wants me to buy muruku for raya. (haha..lame reason but i really couldn't think of anything better.)
Habib: Ok can. So does that mean u're breaking fast with me?
Me: Oh no..i can't. i've to go home after that coz i've assignments to do.
Habib: Okay...

About 30mins later, he called,

Habib: I don't think i can follow u today. We go some other day lah...
Me: No...cannot. Must buy today. My mom wants it by today coz she doesn't like last-minute stuff. Tekka will be packed during the weekends.
Habib: Then we go tomorrow lah (Friday)
Me: Cannot....i'm not free tomorrow.
Habib: Why your family suddenly want to buy muruku?
Me: My family buys muruku every year what...
Habib: Ok...raya's in 1 wk's time. You still have time to buy what... Buy some other day lah...I can't go with u today.
Me: Cannot! Must buy today!!
Habib: I smell something fishy.
Me: Nothing's fishy except for you. Ok gtg... Bye! Meet me later at 6 plus k...

Later at 5 plus, my future sister-in-law called,

SIL: Did majnu call you?
Me: Ya...y?
SIL: He suddenly called me to ask me whether me n hubby will be going to Tekka later.
I had to say yes coz now is Ramadhan what...I don't want to lie.
Me: Then what did he say?
SIL: He said, ooo....i knew it. i sense something fishy. i know she's up to something. You all will be breaking fast with me right?
Me: Huh? Serious? How come he knows? Why did he call u in the first place? We never ever celebrated his birthday together before what... How did he suspect?
SIL: I also dunno. He suddenly called me. I tell you this always happens. Everytime I want to surprise my husband on his birthday but somehow he'll always end up knowing.
Me: Arrgghh.... not fun! I know by now he knows that I'll be celebrating his birthday with him but I didn't expect him to even know that you guys are coming. I didn't even mention your name.

See...there goes my 'surprise'. Pffftttt........

Nonetheless, we still had a pleasant celebration for him n my future SIL and her hubby bought for him a shirt. I, on the otherhand, shall not reveal what I bought for him. Shhh....
