Happy Birthday

‘Happy Birthday’ He mumbled switching off the snooze in mobile.

‘Thanks...’  I smiled half asleep.

 He remembers… I opened my eyes, expectations swirling i me.

 I tried to look around…

‘Good Night’ His lids covered his eyes.

My hands searched the drawer beside the bed.

No surprise this year as well.

He has been forgetting since the first year of their wedding.

So Happy Birthday it was, she smiled to herself before drifting off to sleep.
