7th Birthday

Would you believe me if I tell you that Nats never remembered even one of my seven b'days that we spent together? Thats unbearable right?

The first four year, I kinda gave him all the hints that he needed(ofcourse, without realizing). I would start talking about my birthday weeks before and thats how he had saved his life for the first four years.

Fifth and sixth year, he forgot my birthday terribly, and only on my b'day I would tell him 'Hello, its my bday today' .
I know how pathetic he felt then, apologized over and over and I let him off the hook.

Today,being my birthday, there was his call at 12 at night. I was actually surprised because I kept observing him since last week. Yes I did. And never gave him a slightest hint that my bday is around the corner. I know I sound bitch here. Having known him for years now, I was pretty sure that he forgot this time too.

At 12 am,
J:I thought u forgot my birthday..
N:See, I am the first one to call u
...and all that..U bummer...

At the very same moment, I don't know why, I felt a little defeated.Perhaps because I was waiting to yell at him . I don't sound normal. Do I?

And only discovered later when my friend called me to wish. All that she said is that she had a chat with Nats just a day before.But the clever me found the hint.

So this is how Nats had got reminded abt my birthday. She has asked what plan for J's birthday and yes Natu got lucky and got alerted. But his luck shortlived. Poor him!

My immediate call after my friend's call was to him. After about 30 min on the call and my pestering, he accepted that he got the clue from her chat.

The moment he accepted that he forgot, the line went dead. Yes I cut the phone.

He should atleast have remembered if for no other reason, than to not to be yelled at! I would have been mad at him even if I had known that he has made note of my b'day to remember. Can't he remember a single date for the sake his beloved? I truly could not figure out why does his brain blank out when it comes to my b'day? Probably my transformation into a raging machine of pure fury is just not enough to make him ever never forget my b'day again!
Nevertheless, I l u Nats for whatever you are.

Did I hear you asking about my bday gift? Nats did you hear that too??
