VIRIKA OS – THE MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY………..
" good night badi ma" said viren while retiring to his room.
He opened the door of the room expecting jeevika to be present there. But she was not. He knew very well where she would be found. Her favorite spot these days. Of course "the kitchen".
Yes these days jeevika was spending most of her time in kitchen. Whenever viren looked for her, she was always found in the kitchen. As if she was in love with the kitchen. Viren really thought about it.
He closed the room's door and made his way towards the kitchen.
On the other side jeevika was baking. At this hour of night, when everybody is mostly found in bed, she baking a special cake for viren.
A jeevika special cake. After all it was their first wedding anniversary tomorrow.
She wanted to do something special for him.
And her surprise was almost ready.
Just some more amount of time and it would be ready.
" oh! Wow such a sweet smell " saying this manvi moved towards the oven.
" di , when would it be ready. I want to taste it"
"mannu its for virenji. I will bake you an another cake tomorrow" jeevika said looking at her little sister.
" by the way , mannu , I told you stand at the entrance "
" and warn me if virenji is coming this way" jeevika reminded her
"arrey meri pyari behna , jiju won't be coming to the kitchen so late at night"
" so just chill and enjoy your cooking"
" look your cake is almost ready" she said looking very excited
Jeevika removed the cake from the oven and placed it on the kitchen counter. She started the icing work and completed it pretty soon ar you can say just in time.
" mannu I can hear someone's footsteps"
" looks like someone is coming this way"
" I just wish that it's not virenji"
" I won't him to know the surprise" she said while crossing her finger
" don't worry di, I will go and check' manvi said while moving towards the entrance.
She looked around and saw viren coming towards the kitchen. She panicked as what to do now. How to stop her jiju from coming in??
" guess di, who's coming here" she said trying to be as calm as possible
" don't tell me its virenji" jeevika said
"di you guessed right. Its jiju and he is coming towards the kitchen"
" mannu I told you to keep an eye outside but you didn't listen to me"
"now what am I going to do" jeevika said sounding a bit worried
" don't worry di. You just go and take jiju with you. I will complete the rest of the work'
How could jeevika let manvi complete the remaining work. It was her surprise and she wanted it to do all by herself. But at present she was having no other choice then to listen to her and leave. But even destiny wanted her to make this anniversary special.
"viren, where are you going" asked vanshika
Hearing her voice both jeevika and manvi felt relaxed.
"ma, I am going to check on jeevika
She is still in the kitchen
She could complete the rest of the work tomorrow morning
I just came to take her to the room" viren replied back
"beta you go to your room. I will check on her and send her. You just go and rest" jeevika assured him
" ok ma, good night"
"good night , beta'
Viren returned back to his room and vanshika moved towards the kitchen but before she could enter manvi came out and made an excuse taking vanshika with her and giving jeevika some time to complete her work. Jeevika took the opportunity and completed her work and returned back to her room where viren was waiting eagerly for her. It was already half past 11 and thus only 30 minutes left for their first wedding anniversary. Both of them were excited and had their surprises ready for each other. Jeevika entered the room to find viren sitting on the bed and looking at the clock. As if waiting for the time to pass as fast as possible.
"virenji " jeevika sweet voice whispered
' so there you are mrs. Vadhera"
" I have been waiting for you for such a long time"
" you and your kitchen" viren said
" sorry viren ji I was a little busy"
"but now I am all yours '
"you have full right over me" she said blushing.
She already knew what viren was thinking and what was he up to. And she really loved it. Viren moved towards her and took her in his hug. Slowly removing hairs form her face he kissed her lips and their kiss grew more and more passionate. Finally they both pulled out to catch their breath. Soon the clock struck 12 and it was the beginning of a new day. It was their anniversary.
"happy anniversary jeevika"
" happy anniversary viren ji"
They both wished each other.
"viren ji, I love you"
" I love you too"
"viren ji, I have a surprise for you" she said
" even I have a surprise jeevika" even he confessed
" jeevika but its my turn now.
You have already made me wait for complete one hour.
And thus according to it I get the first chance.
And you have to agree to it" viren said in his bossy tone
Jeevika nodded in a yes. He blindfolded jeevika and took her downstairs carefully and slowly. She kept on asking where they were going but he didn't replied and just asked her to be quite and keep walking. She was not answered but she knew that they were not out in the garden. She could feel the cool breeze and the smell of the flowers. But along with it she was able to hear something too. It was a soft music. Yes a soft music was playing in the background. Soon viren removed her blindfold and she looked around. She was speechless. The garden was decorated and a candle light dinner was arranged was just two of them and violins playing in the background. They way to the table was marked with rose petals. She slowly took her steps towards the table .
A small card was placed on the table addresses to mrs. Jeevika, my love..
She opened the card and started reading it.
It said….
" jeevika you are the best thing that had happened in my life. Before you came in my life I had everything but still felt that something was missing. And that was you. It was you jeevika who was missing from my life. And since the day you have entered my life, I have experienced only happiness and nothing else.
You are my support system. You are my life and I can't imagine my life without you.without you I am incomplete. You make my life complete jeevika.
I love you jeevika
I love you a lot"
Jeevika had tears of joy and happiness in her eyes. She had no words to thank her virenji. He was the best husband and he was perfect.
Viren came close to her and wiped of her tears.
"jeevika, don't cry
I didn't did so much of work for making you cry.
I did all these things to bring a smile on your face
But instead of smiling you are crying
Didn't you like my surprise?"" viren asked her
" viren ji are you kidding
I loved your surprise
And I say this from the bottom of my heart.
How could you even imagine that I would not like it.
It was far more than perfect." She said with a smile on her face
"then what were these tears for' he asked her
"those were the tears of joy.
They were the tears of happiness.
They were the tears of love" she replied with a twinkle in her eyes.
Out of emotions and happiness she hugged him and laid her head on his shoulder. He too reacted to her hug and hugged her back. She just wanted to stay in his arms and remain their forever and ever.
"jeevika what about your surprise' he asked her
" do you really want to see it" she asked him
" of course yes. I want to see it"
"but its nothing in front of our surprise"
"I don't mind but still I want to see"
"okay as you wish. Just wait here , I will come in a minute'
Saying so she left from there and straight away when to the kitchen. Did some final touching and took her cake outside. She slowly placed the cake on the table and asked viren to turn around and have a look. He did as he was told too. After seeing the cake he was rooted on his place. A smile came on his face and he went and hugged her once again giving all the warmth of his body to her. It was their best anniversary. The rest of the night they spent happily and finally retired to bed. He made sure that his love was sleeping peacefully.
And then recalled what was written on the cake.
He just can't forget those words
That words had changed his life.
It said-
" happy marriage anniversary
Soon to be papa"
Soon to be papa. She was pregnant with his child. This was the best moment for him and it was his best day. His first anniversary would always be a memorable one.
