He returned home a bit late after a tiring day. As he opened the main door, he saw the lights
were off. He was puzzled… Seems she hasn’t yet come he thought to himself…. But
she daily comes before him? He kept questioning himself and tried to provide satisfactory
answers but he could not so he thought he would call her. As his fingers
reached to call her he thought let me get fresh first then I will call her. She
will feel nice to hear me fresh, that will make her too feel fresh. She might
also have had a tiring day. As he switched on the room lights he felt a note on
the switch, yes there was sticky note on the switch he took it closer and read,
“Hello dear… had a
tiring day.. ?? get fresh soon… will catch u soon…. Love u!! ”
that note brought
smile on his face. As he folded the note and reached his cupboard to get his
night dress , He found another sticky note on the cupboard which read
“Your night dress is kept…
” ahh I know where my night dress is… he said to himself getting a bit
irritated by her instructions… and he opened the cupboard, he searched the
cupboard but could not find the dress… finally he opened the second note and
continued… in the second section, right hand side…
Ok he thought to himself.. he took the night dress and went
inside the bath to get fresh. As he came out wiping his face with napkin his
hand felt some paper, he took a closer look and there he found another sticky
note hanging to the towel…
“Now that you are fresh dear…. Let me tell you I’m going
with Anju nearby, will be back soon.. till then TC and did u miss me?”
Ha ha… with all these notes around u think I’m going to miss
you? He cleared her doubt and started
going downstairs. Thinking he can watch his favorite football as she is not at
home and today was the so much long awaited match… excitedly he went down and
switched on the TV… switched channel to
his fav sports channel…
“I know… you feeling so nice to have this thing in your
hand… not for long… Till then u can
enjoy your match”
Ahhh… he was getting nervous… how can she know everything
about me beforehand. Without bothering to get an answer to his question he watched
the match, but it felt so boring… I love to watch this match only when she
fights with me to get back the remote and to change the channel…. He was bored
and thought of calling her….
He dialed her number after a few sec he could hear it
ringing… he was puzzled… the sound was coming from the house itself…. He went in the direction
of the ring only to find the mobile lying on the side table put on charging… he
picked it up and again found a sticky note on it…
“I told na.. I’m going nearby… This was drained completely
so thought would keep it at home will be back home till 9. u seem to be missing me huh? By that time you
can have a cup of coffee… ”
Ohhh… he was damn irritated by now… he was not liking it that she was knowing him
so well that even in her absence she took great care of his. Coffee… no way.. I’m not going to make
coffee.. he thought to himself and then again he sat to watch the match…
Suddenly he thought why not give her a surprise? She will be
coming home till 9, I still have ½ hr in my hand…
He went in the kitchen happy with his idea.. umm… I will
cook pulav for both of us he thought scanning
the freeze and took out the vegetables. She will be so happy that I saved her
time and then after she comes we can both have it in Candle light…
Wow!! He exclaimed extremely happy with his brain… he
chopped the vegetables and washed rice…
neatly he completed his task… the cooker was set and he had to just wait
for 4 whistles.. and his Shahi dish was going to be ready to serve…
1 whistle.. then the 2nd .. and the third 3rd
...4th… and turned off the burner… now.. wait for some time… wait…
hmm… he prepared for other things before
opening the cooker lid.. he went upstairs and he arranged everything
nicely… on the open terrace he brought a
table and arranged chair, plates, jug, glasses, candles were set to lit.
Everything was set… Now he only waited for the doorbell to ring….
He went downstairs and sat there on sofa watching his
football match… all excited. Soon he heard the bell ring… he went and opened
the door quickly…
She came in..
Looks like you are tired.
Ye s a bit.. this Anju took me to so many places and I had
to return back walking; had not taken my purse. So feeling a bit tired she said
sitting on the sofa… She glanced at the kitchen… after a while she went to
prepare for dinner…. She called him from
inside you didn’t prepare coffee??
How the hell she knows that? He thought to himself…
No.. was not feeling like having Coffee he shouted back…
Really???
He went in the kitchen and asked her… but how do you know
that
She removed the sticky note from the coffee bottle and
handed it to him…. And they both laughed for it He read it…
“ohh my my… so you are going to make coffee?? Hmm so let me
tell you how to do that.. but I had never thought you will make it…u lazy
fellow… “
She prepared coffee for herself and gave a cup to him… he
resisted but he knew she knew him so well…. After having coffee, he was getting
impatient… finally he asked her to get
fresh and then they would have dinner…
I will get fresh later let me first cook something.. she
said putting her hair into bun.
No… first go and get fresh… .He insisted and she had to
agree…
Seeing his plan work.. he took the coke bottle with him and
as she came out of the bath she saw him standing there with a big grin on his
face…
What happened?? Her
eyes questioned….. what are u hiding
there at the back…
He came closer and blindfolded her with the scarf in his hand.
What are you doing…
Shhhh… now just follow me… he guided her to the terrace… Lit
the candles there while she questioned him 100 times what was he upto…
suspicious about his intentions….
Honey.. I need to cook food.. tomorrow we have office… she explained…
I know he said as he came closer to her to untie the scarf…
He took a last look to check if anything missing… and finally he untied her..
Tadaaaaaaa…. He exclaimed her as she opened her eyes…
Wow!!! You did this!! She could not believe her eyes…. How..
why?? OMG.. u cooked… she could not control her happiness… she was so happy…
Yes mam… you were guessing my each and every step so
accurately that I thought I would give you a surprise and tell you.. There are
still many things you need to explore in me.. otherwise you would start taking
me for granted… they both giggled as
they settled down for dinner.
They had their long awaited candle light dinner in peace!!
