It was Sahil’s birthday, he was expecting three things: cake, presents, and attention from Preeti. What he wasn’t expecting was a mysterious envelope delivered to his door. Inside were an old map, a golden key, and a note: “A great treasure awaits the bravest adventurer.” He grinned. Sahil: Finally, someone understands my potential. He immediately called Preeti. Preeti: Happy birthday! What are you doing today? Sahil: I have a mission, We’re going to find treasure. Ten minutes later, Preeti arrived, ready for an adventure. Sahil was standing at the door wearing a backpack, holding a bottle of sunscreen. Preeti: Why have you brought sunscreen? Sahil: First rule of adventure: protect your skin while saving the world Preeti: We’re searching for treasure, not attending a skincare retreat! Sahil: Excuse me. A hero can be adventurous and maintain healthy skin. Preeti: Great. Just make sure you apply some to your brain too. Maybe it’ll protect us from your terrible decisions. Sahil looked at the sunscreen bottle thoughtfully. Sahil: Should I apply SPF 50 or SPF 100 for this level of insult? The map led them to a beautiful forest surrounded by tall trees and misty hills. After twenty minutes of walking, Preeti stopped. Preeti: Sahil, we’ve passed this tree before. He looked at the tree, then at the map, then at the tree again. Sahil: Maybe it’s following us Preeti: YES, SAHIL. THE TREE IS FOLLOWING US. Give me the map Sahil: Trust the process Preeti: What process?Sahil: The process of figuring things out while pretending we know what we’re doing Preeti: I can’t believe I came here with you. Sahil: You love me. Preeti: that is the biggest problem. They finally found the correct path. A wooden sign pointed toward a narrow bridge. It read: “Only the brave may cross.” Sahil immediately stepped forward. Sahil: Stay behind me, Your hero is here. The bridge creaked. Sahil stepped backward. Preeti: Your hero seems to be going in reverse.Sahil: I’m checking whether the bridge works. Preeti: And? Sahil: Terrible customer service. Preeti burst out laughing. After a dramatic ten-minute crossing, they discovered their next clue: “Where the sun meets the stone, your treasure waits alone.” Sahil pointed toward a mountain. Sahil: Easy. I’m basically a detective. The clue led them to a small stone wall with three boxes. Each box had a question written on it. The first said: What has a face and two hands but no arms or legs? Sahil: “A very unfortunate person.” Preeti: A clock! The first box clicked open. Inside was another note: What gets wetter the more it dries?Sahil: A towel!The second box opened. The third question read: What is something you can give someone without losing it? Sahil immediately turned to Preeti. Sahil: My heart. Preeti: Okay. That was actually sweet. The box remained locked. Preeti: Wrong answer, Romeo. Sahil tried again. Sahil: My love Nothing happened. Preeti: Your word, Sahil!Sahil: Fine! My word. I promise never to steal your fries again. The box clicked open. Preeti: THAT was the promise you chose? Sahil: Treasure hunting requires sacrifice. Inside was a small golden key with a note on it were the words: “The final treasure lies beneath the oldest tree.” Sahil picked it up triumphantly. Sahil: See? Brains and beauty. Preeti: Whose brains?” Sahil: Let’s focus on the beauty. For a little while, they walked quietly together. Then Sahil stopped. Sahil: Preeti? Preeti: Hmm?Sahil: If we find gold, can I buy a sports car?Preeti: If we find gold, I’m buying you a compass. After another twenty minutes of walking, they finally reached the oldest tree in the forest. And beneath it stood a magnificent wooden treasure chest. Sahil’s eyes widened. Sahil: PREETI! WE’RE RICH! Preeti: We haven’t opened it yet. Sahil: I can feel the money. He inserted the golden key into the lock. Click. The chest opened slightly. Then they heard a tiny giggle. They turned around. Sitting on top of the chest was little Vanu. Nine months old. Happy. Unbothered. Looking like the CEO of Treasure Limited. Sahil: Excuse me. We have been walking for hours. How did he get here before us? Preeti: Clearly, he has better navigation skills. Vanu grabbed the map from Sahil’s hand and tried to put it in his mouth. Sahil: HEY! That’s our only map! Vanu giggled and waved it around. Preeti: He’s eaten the instructions. The mission is officially over. Sahil: I’ve been defeated by someone who can’t even say my name. Vanu clapped his hands.Preeti picked up Vanu and kissed his cheek. Preeti: Congratulations, little boss. You’ve successfully robbed your uncle. Sahil and Preeti returned to the chest. Inside, they found a small pouch of chocolate coins and one final envelope. Sahil: All that walking for chocolate?Preeti: Technically, you said we were going to find treasure. You never specified the budget. Sahil ate a chocolate coin. Sahil: Honestly? Not a bad return on investment. The envelope contained a letter. Sahil opened it “Congratulations, You crossed the forest, survived the bridge, solved the riddles, and defeated the most dangerous creature of all: a nine-month-old baby. But remember, the greatest treasure isn’t gold or jewels. It’s having someone beside you who laughs at your terrible jokes, puts up with your ridiculous plans, and still chooses to go on adventures with you. So take care of that person. Life won’t always be a fairytale. There will be unexpected turns, difficult bridges, confusing maps, and days when neither of us knows where we’re going. But if there’s one person I’d choose to get lost with, laugh with, and figure it all out with, it’s you. And may we keep creating stories that we’ll look back on someday and smile about. Happy birthday to my favourite person.” Sahil looked at Preeti. She smiled. Preeti: Well, hero. Was the adventure worth it ? Sahil: Definitely. I found treasure. She looked at the chocolate coins. Preeti: The chocolates? Sahil: No. You. Preeti smiled a little wider. They started walking back home, After five minutes, Sahil stopped. Preeti: What now? He looked at the map, then at the path, then at Preeti. Sahil: I think we’re lost. She stared at him in disbelief. Preeti:WE’RE ON THE MAIN ROAD! Sahil: Just checking your observation skills. Their laughter echoed down the road. And somewhere behind them, Vanu giggled—as if he was already planning to steal the treasure again.
