What makes you think the buffer isn't being overflowed?
...
i am using a debugger to track EIP but its this program exits
nornally

So, why does that make you think that the buffer isn't being
overflowed?

i mean if buffer gets overflowed then EIP should contains my A's and

EIP is a register, it's unlikely to be full of As (or 0x41s).

as per as definition of EIP (pointer to code) which contains A's
should cause the program to crash

Since you have a debugger you might like to investigate exactly where those
extra 5 As end up, if anywhere, and what that memory would otherwise have
been used for. Then you can find out why your program doesn't crash.
