On the day before his birthday Aron hosted a formal party. It was a typical socialite party where finalising business deals and kissing ass was more prevalent than cherishing the special day of the host. Aron and Joy were present in the party are were completely engrossed in their business dealings. The party lasted late in the night and after it was over Joy and Aron drove back to Aron's place. Joy had been with Aron since high school and Aron always treated him as a younger brother. Similarly Joy took Aron as his brother and best friend. They were like an extended family and as it was Aron's birthday next day and his parents were out of country Joy went for sleepover at Aron's place.
After the party both of them were quite exhausted and settled themselves on the couch. Aron took out his phone and was checking his messages when he saw a message from Kim he opened it casually and suddenly a smile spread on his face like an oasis in desert. He got up and went to his room, took out a notebook from the drawer and began to write something. Joy was observing him closely and the smile on Aron's face was something different. It was as if a little boy has been given a box of chocolate or ice cream. Joy was doubting this may be due to that girl Kim but he was not sure. He couldn't control his curiosity and asked Aron why he didn't invite Kim to his party. Aron very calmly said, "because I invited her for dinner tomorrow."
Joy couldn't believe his ears, Aron really invited a girl for dinner that on her birthday. Joy couldn't control and blurted out, " Is she really that special?" Aron smiled at him said, " Come on don't be jealous. " Joy suddenly realized he sounded as a typical jealous girlfriend. He then cleared his throat and said, " Aron I have more experience than you regarding courting girls, You can ask me for some tips for your dinner date tomorrow, I am generous enough to give you some precious advice. " Aron looked at him and said with a teasing smile, " I am going to take my benevolent benedictor with me so you can directly give me advice there. " Joy replied, " I am not going to be the third wheel neither I am interested to see my dearest Aron flirt with a girl. He acted like crying.
Aron got back to the couch and said, "J you are thinking much, Its just a dinner I have invited both Kim and Ann, you and I will go together. I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my close friends. Hearing this Joy pouted and said as if he is very disappointed, " Close friends!!!??? but I thought I am your only close friend." And before Joy could say anything further Aron threw a cushion over him and closed his bedroom door.
Joy laughed and after enjoying the teasing session he also went to the guest room. Aron took a shower changed his clothes and went to his bed. He stared at his phone again smiled and went to sleep.
