  Happy birthday, My Dear Bebay. This moment has been the best in so many seasons. Having the opportunity to chat with you, my dearest, fills my heart with immense joy. I am sure you will see all the messages I have posted on my blog one day.  I didn't mind when you called your Buwa foolish because every word you've written from your heart reflects your pain against me, but dear, I also share that pain. I am not able to share my feelings about you with anyone. I do tell Suyog sometimes about you and your presence among us. I know you have many questions to ask, and I have many things to tell. I don't mind when you block my number; I respect your feelings and await your reply. This is also true, as I always tell you in every birthday wish, a hug is due. With each passing day, I am excited to see and hug you. With your exams coming up, give your best, and God bless you with love and warmth. Bua
