He and his wife Maaneet OS. I won 1st prize

Sunset was attractive.But it did'nt strike my eyes.The day's work was over.I got my salary in my hands.My only intention was to find the best textile shop and buy the best dress for my wife.It was her birthday.I wanted to gift her the prettiest dress available in the shop.I wandered through the street.I saw a texitle shop and i got inside it.My eyes went through the sarees there.I picked up the one i liked the most.The person who was standing next to me chose a glittering red saree.
"Is it for your wife?"I asked.
"Yes.Today is my wife Geet's birthday.It's my birthday present for her.Tonight we will celebrate her birthday",he replied.
I was surprised.
"Today is my wife's birthday also.Tonight i am planning to surprise her with a beautiful dress".
"That's a pleasant co-incidence".
"What is your good name?"I asked.
"Maan",he replied."Your good name?"He asked.
"Dev".
"Nice to meet you".He shook my hands.
"My wife must be waiting for me.I have to leave now",he said.
"Carry on.Even i need to leave now.Otherwise i will not get bus.My wife will be waiting for me".
"You have to wait for the bus?I will drop you by car".
"No thanks",i refused his offer politely.
"Come on.On the way you can come home.You can share my wife's birthday cake",he forced me.
I could not refuse.
We went to his house.The front door was locked.
"Your wife is not here?"I asked.
"She is here".
"Then why is the front door locked from outside?"
He did'nt reply.He opened the door.We got inside.There was a yummy birthday cake there.
"Where is your wife?"I asked.
He took me to a room.There was a beautiful lady's framed photograph on the table.It was decorated with flowers.I was shocked.

I sweated.
He kept the saree near the photograph.
"Geet..this is your birthday gift.Happy birthday".Maan talked to the lady in the photograph.
"Your wife is no more?"My lips shivered.
Maan became emotional.Suddenly tears dwelled in his eyes.
"Three years back i lost Geet physically in an accident.But still she is here with me.I can feel her presense.I always celebrate her birthday.I celebrate all the festivals with her.She loves celebrations.For her,life is celebration".He became emotional.

Maan imagined Geet coming in the red saree he bought for her.He looked at her deeply.
She blushed.

Maan cut the cake imagining Geet standing close to him.He shared the cake with me.Though the cake tasted sweet,i felt the bitter taste of Maan's tears.

The end

too good jaan
