"Lion honey erukumbod, yaravad sugar' "
"Cut" he says "Drashti it is Lion honey erukumbod, yaravad sugar sapada vangla".
"Okay got it"
Drashti goes into her dressing room to touch up her makeup, and make sure her sari was in place.
*Beep Beep Beep*
She hears the familiar sound indicating a text message.
Picking up her cell phone, she opens the message:
*Happy Valentine's Day baby, I love you*
Drashti smiles to herself looking at the cell phone screen, he is such a sweetheart, always brings a smile to her face with the cutest things.
*Flashback to the morning*
As the sun rays peek in through the tall bay windows, there is a groaning sound originating from the high four poster bed, slender fingers come out from under the comforter slowly, as the comforter is pushed off, there is a bush of curly hair frizzy from the night, soft brown eyes with a sparkle in them, a small cute nose, rosy lips curved in a slight frown.
As she looks to her side "Mayank" she says looking around the room for him, as she looks to her right, something red catches her eye, looking back to have a cleared look Drashti sees a fresh single red rose with a long green stem next to her pillow.
Smiling to herself, she picks up the rose in between her fingers, making sure to avoid the thorns.
As she brings it closer to her nose breathing in the fresh smell, she notices a white card lying where the rose rested a minute ago.
Putting the rose down, in her lap slowly, she picks up the card; opening it she finds this sweet message.
"I adore the way you tell me,
You are my forever best friend
I love the way I believe you
And that you will be there till the end."
(JoMarie Grinkiewicz)
"I love you"
Mayank
"Love you too baby" Drashti whispers smiling looking at the card.
*Coming back to present*
"Mam your shot is ready"
"Oh yes coming", Drashti says quickly pressing send and replacing her cell phone back on her dresser.
*Scene Shift*
The tip of the brush lightly glides across the canvas, blending the colors together.
"Hmm! something is just not right" Mayank says scrutinizing the canvas set up in front of him.
"Aha, that might be it" he says walking over to his workshop drawer.
Picking up a tube of white paint, he squirts some onto the palette in his hand; mixing the paint around, he moves his paint brush back towards the canvas to finish his masterpiece.
Just then his cell on the work table buzzes indicating that he had received a new message.
Not heeding to it, Mayank continues working gliding the paintbrush along the surface on the canvas finishing his masterpiece, humming to himself "la la la la la".
*Scene Shift*
"Drashti it is Lion honey erukumbod, yaravad sugar sapada vangla, Home, Sweet Home!" Drashti says smiling.
"Cut" the director calls out once again. "Perfect shot, you are done now"
"Thank You" Drashti says.
After talking to the director, she goes into her dressing room once again to change into her normal attire.
Coming out in her dark wash denim blue jeans, and her white sleeveless top, she heads out to her car.
*In the Evening*
As Mayank heads out of his studio, he pulls out his cell phone remembering that he had received a message earlier.
Opening it he sees:
*I love you you too baby. I'm so lucky to have you in my life!*
Smiling at the message, Mayank makes his way into his Black Honda city, starting the ignition, he heads home.
***
As Mayank enters the house, he smells the scrumptious smell of roma tomatoes, marinating with a hint of basil.
Stepping into the living room he sees the room decorated with candles, and light music playing in the background, adding a romantic touch to the ambience.
The table is set for two, with a vase with a single rose set in the middle.
As Mayank looks around the room smiling to himself, he hears the clinking of pans and pots coming from the kitchen.
Slowly placing the package under his arm on the couch, he heads towards the kitchen.
"Kaise bataye kyu tujhko chahe yaara bata naa paaye" Drashti sings to herself while cooking.
"Batana mushkil nahi hai baby"
She feels two strong arms wrapping aroung her waist, as his chin comes to rest on her shoulder.
"Mayank!! Tum bhi na, aise koi sneakily aata hai kya" Drashti says turning her head slightly to look at Mayank.
Pecking her cheek lightly, Mayank asks "waise tum kya kar rahi ho?".
"Pasta. Ab chodiye na, kaam karne dijiye" she says getting out of his grip.
As Drashti is mixing the pasta in the pot, Mayank slides his palms down her hand and takes a hold of the ladle in his hand, mixing the pasta with her, while giving her soft kisses on the hair.
Knowing that nothing she says will stop him and not that he wanted him to stop, Drashti continues on with her work, with Mayank following her.
As the cooking finishes, Mayank takes Drashti by the shoulder and leads her out of the kitchen.
"You just sit here" he says making her sit on the couch, he pours her a glass of wine "and enjoy this, while I get the food" he leaves with a wink, causing Drashti to blush.
Taking a sip of the chardonnay white wine, Drashti smiles thinking to herself "he is such a sweetheart, beautiful inside and out. Always takes time to help others, full of compassion. She remembers the first time she met him on the set of DMG, the instant she saw him, she was smitten, well not exactly, but still those deep hazel eyes left an impact on her, and not to forget his sweet smile. Everything about him was just amazing, to say the least."
Finally setting up the table, Mayank turns toward Drashti to find her staring off into space smiling to herself, swirling the glass of wine between her fingers.
"If you are done, you can come out of the Mayank dreamland anytime" Mayank says smirking at Drashti.
"HA! You think I was thinking about you?" Drashti says getting up.
"Aur nahi toh Mrs. Drashti Mayank Anand kissi paraya mard ke baare mai soch rahi thi kya? Koi extra-marital affair?" Mayank asks winking at her, pulling her to himself by her waist.
"Chodo na Mayank, mujhe bhook lagi hai"
"Iska main kya karu, jab bhi main romantic mood main hota hoon toh isko bhook lagti hai, ya phir neend aati hai, ya aur kuch" Mayank complains like a little kid in a low voice.
They both enjoy a lovely dinner, with the usual banter, cute talks, mini arguments, but always a lot of laughter and a lot of fun.
As Drashti gets up to clear the table, Mayank takes her hand in his, slowly lifting it to his mouth he kisses it gents as Drashti gasps.
"Tumhe kuch dikhana tha" Mayank says leading her by her hand to another room.
"Aankhein band karo" he instructs her, making her sit on the couch.
He makes his way over to the other side, unwrapping the package he brought in earlier, he places it on the couch.
Heading back over to Drashti "Ab aankhein kholo" he whispers in her ears.
Feeling his warm breath tickling her slightly she opens her eyes, to find a painting of her, sitting in front of her.
"OH MY GOD!!" Drashti says covering her mouth.
"Ma.. Mayank' this.. this is just gorgeous!!" she says moving closer to the painting to take a better look at it.
"Not more than the original piece!" Mayank says slipping his arms around her waist.
Turning around in his arms "Thank You Mayank, Thank you for being who you are, thank you for all the joys in my life, Thank You for being mine, only mine. I love you!!" Drashti says giving Mayank a peck on his lips.
"I love you too baby, Happy Valentines Day" Mayank says enveloping her in his arms, never wanting to let go.
