Gratitude of a Lifetime!
''a pitchfork on valentines day? how UN - romantic'' chirping away she slid the fork back onto the ground and stood before him with her hands at her hips and that ever so beautiful smile adorning her lush lips.
''come on you said you would help me clean up the garden?'' he tried to use one of his cute pouts but the at the moment everything was working against him.
''ARJUNN, i'm not cleaning your garden on valentines day! don't you know how to treat a lady on this day?'' Arjun smiled watching her blush unknowingly, '' why don't you tell me...while we clean the garden?''
fed up she picked the pitchfork and looked at arjun sternly, 'fine, if cleaning the garden at 9 o'clock at night is this important for you than fine!!'' leading the way she stomped her way to the back of the house, and arjun followed right behind with a grin on his face.
As she was about to un latch the gate that lead to the back, Arjun held her wrist for a moment twirling her around to face him, '' the garden is really messy so don't be angry okay!!'' raising her left brow, she broke away from the hold and opened the gate.
'HAPPY VALENTINES DAY RATI'' yelled arjun loud enough for the whole neighbhorhood to hear, What lay before rati was a moment to beautiful to be redefined in words. Now only if her lips could utter something she was explained what her eyes were so stunned with.
There lay a rose petals path, and candles illuminated every corner of the yard, soft music filled her ears and most of all admist all lay a table for two which had no less of a appeal on its own. The table was covered with silk and on it lay two candles lit to perfection, cutlery was placed in the out most right places and two chairs sat their awaiting their arrival.
with loss of words rati immediately turned around to face him, '' arjun...''
''what can i say baby? i'm just so UN romantic!'' giggling away he pulled her towards himself and carressed her cheek lightly, '' do you still want to clean the garden?''
pushing him away slightly, rati broke into laughter, '' shall we?'' arjun asked extending his arm, rati smiled and delicately entwined her arm within his, it was the perfect fit.
They both walked over to the table and then like a gentleman arjun pulled out the chair for her, '' my fairest maiden''
Rati smiled and took a seat opposite to him,both facing each other and dwelling into each others eyes by the seconds passing by. It was like the wole world had stopped and the only two that existed were them and this outrageuosly divine moment.
''so what does your fairest maiden have to appetite on today?'' smiling around rati pulled off the cover from the plate and was unpleasently suprised to find nothing underneath it, 'are we eating air?''
arjun gave her a sarcastic smile, 'funny!'pausing he got up and took her hand into his, '' no madam, today we are going to cook...me and you!''
''you want me to cook on valentines day?'' Arjun stopped in his tracks and turned her to face himself, ' Rati ...'' he cupped her face into his two hands and stroked her cheeks gradually.
''You have to trust me when i say this, that my heart is and always be with you''sliding her hand onto his rati blushed but replied, '' i trust you...''
'' I still remember the first i saw you, those long locks of yours flaring my cheeks and those big brown eye giving me the warmth of the whole world...i knew it then..you were some very special''
Rati was astonished by his words, they had been together for so long that she never felt the need to say anything but today hearing arjun say what was in his heart for her, made her truly realize how lucky she was to have him in her life, be a part of someone who always brought smiles to her face, '''and i want to say that Arjun Bijlani every moment i have ever spent with you made me only realize how lucky i'm to have you in my life. You made me complete by coming in my life, i wouldn't be wrong if i told you that your famous butter chicken recipe first made me realize how hard i had fallen for you'''
Arjun broke into laughter hearing her say butter chicken, ahh those memories, those beautiful memories of their yesterday's were forever engraved into his heart along with hers.
He pulled her into a big hug and whispered slyly into her ear, '' I love you baby'' placing her arms around his torso and rati breathed in his warmth, '' love would be an understatement of how much you mean to me'' placing her head in his chest she found herself secured and genuinely loved.
''you in my arms forever and it still wouldn't have been long enough'' arjun quipped placing his chin on her head and tightening his hold around her never wanting to let her go.
''if we stand here forever like this, than who will make the delicious butter chicken tonight??''both split into laughter and stood their in each others grasp for a little while longer soaking into the warmth and love that was overflowing at the moment under the moonlight that was shining right unto to them.
The ties that binds us are sometimes impossible to explain. Some bonds defy distance and time and logic; Because some ties are simply... meant to be.
