Valentine Special-A Short Story

"Kahin na kahin, koi na koi to hamareliye banaa hai!", says Madhuri Dixit in DTPH movie... Sahana had seen the movie last night and was fast asleep but smiling and giggling to herself though, when the hostel warden, was shaking her "Get up! Dreamer! Get up! You have a phone call!". Shaken all of a sudden she rushed to the phone, yawned and said,"Hello?" "Hey Sahana, Sunil here." answered a husky voice from the other end. Sahana's and Sunil's parents had arranged their marriage a month ago, and there was hardly a few weeks left for their marriage.

"Can I see you in the Elizebeth Park in an hour?'" asked Sunil.


Sahana
blushed , her cheeks were red and she said,"Oh yes!"
Quickly she went to have her bath, chose her best dress, a lovely pink lucknovi chudidhar, that fit her so well and she looked stunning. She left her long silky hair loose wore the best accessories and she hurried to the florist nearby took a single rose and headed for the park swiftly in her Scooty.

"Happy Valentine's Day", both of them wished each other. They went out ,ate a wonderful lunch, saw a terrific movie and he dropped her off in the hostel and she got her first enchanting kiss that night! The cool breeze blowed when they were lost in that wonderful long-lasting kiss!

A chill crossed her hands when Sahana was thinking about the first Valentine Day before they got bonded and tomorrow was the first Valentine's Day after their wedding and Sahana wanted to make it really special. Sunil had left for work. Love was in the air. Stores were filled with young lovers buying cards, gifts, chocolates.Everyone was contemplating on what to buy. She managed to complete her shopping and got back home.

VALENTINE'S DAY: That morning Sunil kissed her goodbye and left. He did not even wish her. She even wondered if he remembered that it was Valentine's Day.Sahana busied herself the day's chores. That evening, she prepared all his favorite food. She decorated the house. Fresh flowers, Room Freshner, Valentine balloons, adorned the house. She set up the table for a romantic candle-light dinner. All dishes beautifully arranged at the table. Desert cups filled with Falooda was a treat! Sahana freshened up and dressed up in her best attire- A lovely deep-blue silk saree- Tassar silk . One should see her now, they would be awed and struck by her beauty.

Sunil knocked and she rushed to open the door and said,
"Darling! Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Sorry Sahana , I was totally involved in work, I totally forgot. Same to you and you look striking!"
Sahana managed a disappointing smile. Sunil freshened up and they had a lovely dinner. Nan, Gobi Mutter, Peas Pulav, Raitha, Kajerela and more. Finally Falooda and Sunil loved it the most.Sahana also presented him a cool wrist watch and a lovely silk tie.

"Wow that was really special darling... Sorry I just could not do a thing." Saying so he held her in his arms really tight and again a soft wind blew with a sweet smell of love. Entering into a world of eternal love and happiness they had the best night. Sahana and Sunil were in each others arms ans Sahana said "Its OK, you are my best gift."

NEXT DAY:Sahana woke up lazily switched on the lights of the washbasin and looked at herself...She was Stunned ! Excited! Bewildered to see a beautiful Heart-shaped Diamond Pendant dangling in her chain and boasting of its colors while dangling. She kissed his forehead and went to the kitchen... to see

The kitchen filled with all colours of Rose Pots -White, Pink, Red, Yellow, Double colours... whatever you could think of and Sahana's happiness knew no bounds ! Sahana rushed to give him a big hug and she said," I love you Sunil! You are the best!" They both had a hearty laugh .
Sunil had taken the day off. They went out , ate a lovely lunch, saw a terrific movie, and this time he did not drop her off, both of them went home!
