PART 3
I spent the next day counting hours.. when will my kids arrive and we will celebrate the special day together... and kamini and dhani were busy in the kitchen..
The clock struck 10pm when Dhani entered our bedroom.
"Where were u? I have been waiting for u"
"I was there in the kitchen.. Don't u know our children are arriving tomorrow..? No sooner will Vidhu-Arun and Atharva will arrive than they will start demanding for their favourite dishes.."
"Hey Dhani.. come lets go to the balcony"
We both came out and sat together on the swing.. She rested her head on my chest and I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and hold her tightly..
"Tomorrow is a very special day for us.. Do u remember how we both met for the first time?"
"Yes.. a drunk carefree guy had come to ask my age.. I was only 20 then"
"Then I had thrown red colours at your white saree and u, like an angry young lady, had given me the very special name Rakshash' "..
Both of us smiled recalling our old days..
"I can never forget those days Viplav.. U had filled my life with colours.. gave me the reason to live.. I love u Viplav.. I love u more than anything else in this whole world.. "
"I love u too my dear", I kissed her forehead.
"One more kiss.. Viplav!!"..
"U r mine .. aren't u? I will kiss u always.. Atharva calls us to be the most romantic parents"..
We kept silent for a few minutes, admiring the beautiful night in each other's arms..
"5 minutes to 12.. u wait here", I got up and went inside our bedroom to bring a brown box..
After 2 minutes I came back and again sat beside my lovely wife..
"what is there in it?", she was curious..
Wait for some more minutes..
I got up and stood in front of her... She was sitting on the swing and smiling.. I took her hands in mine and started counting,
"20, 19, 18,17... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...", I pulled her up, hid her in my chest and whispered into her ear.. "Happy 50th Marriage anniversary, Mrs. Viplav Tripathi"..
She hugged me tightly and my shirt was soaking her tears...
"A Very Happy Anniversary Viplav", she tip-toed and kissed my cheek..
"Trying to be romantic.. haan Dhani??", She blushed and asked, "What is there in that box?"
"Ur anniversary gift darling"
She sat on the swing with the box and I too sat with her..
She opened it.. There were a lot of things inside..
A packet of red colours, a dozen of colourful bangles, a box of vermillion, a red saree and a diamond ring..
I took the packet of red colour and placed it on Dhani's palm..
"Red is the colour of Love.. The colour of my Love Is white.. As pure and fresh as the white colour.. but Red is the colour of ur love.. for I was the first one to colour ur white saree red"..
Next was a dozen of bangles... I helped her wear those.."These bangles look beautiful on ur hands.. U love bangles.. These are for u".
I took a pinch of vermillion and put it in her hair partings.. "This vermillion in ur partings means u r married and u r my wife.. Mrs. Dhani Viplav Tripathi".
"And lastly this diamond ring..", I made her wear it.. It was indeed looking perfect on her long fingers.."I love u Dhani"..
Tears were flowing down her cheeks and she did not care to wipe them away..
"U have made our every anniversary very special.. and this one is no less.. So many gifts for me.. But I want two more things from you.. Will u give it to me??".
"Yes off-course.. tell me what do u want??"
"I want to live the rest of my life with u till my last breath and I want u to bless me so that I can die before u.. Dhani cant even imagine a day without Viplav".
She bent down to touch my feet.. I pulled her in my arms.. "Don't talk about end.. we will die together"..
"U gave me the two most precious things in my life Viplav...Vidhu and Krish.. Thanks for that.."
"Those two are my jewels too.. Thank you for making me a proud father of such lovely children"..
