Happy Birthday Angel [HSFA]

A lovely combination of rhythm and blues,

Will want you to put on your dancing shoes.

On your birthday, let happiness be all around

The best of times becomes the talk of the town.

The party extends all night long,

It has been a very long wait,

And now its your birthday to celebrate.

Make a wish as special as your day,

For all things good are meant to happen today,

Desires of beautiful and lovely things,

Will take flight with their wonderful wings,

Dance through the evening hours,

Only Yours

The beep sound of the alarm indicates that is time to start fresh for the day. This realization makes Gunjan nervous. She's wrapped in a blanket with papers and books scattered around her. She holds a book in one hand and caffine in the other, preventing her from falling asleep. She's trying to memorize everything she studied the previous night at the speed of light. Suddenly she feels a pair of arms pulling her backwards. At first she's startled because she was engrossed in her book but once she could smell the woodsy after shave she realized it was her husband Samrat. She turner back to look at him.

Samrat had the most amazing blue eyes. It was almost the colour of the ocean, deep blue and she always found herself drowning in them. His hair was a perfect shade of dark brown and she loved it when she would mess his hair, she felt proud knowing that only she could mess his hair and get away with it. His cheek bones were prominent giving him a Greek god like handsomeness. He didn't have a mustache or beard but a perfect amount of stubble which made him look hot. His lips twitching upwards making her smile too.

Samrat smiled at his wife looking as beautiful as ever. She had brown eyes which were very attracting. Her skin was white like milk and very soft. He found himself lifting his hand to feel the skin of her face against him. She had pink lips which when stretched to smile made his day perfect. Her straight brown her fell onto her shoulders and a strand or two messed up on her forehead. He moved the hair strands of her face and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Gunjan came out of her trance and pushed herself away from Samrat. She looked back into her book and spoke to Samrat.

"I hate you" she complained to him.

Samrat was amused and used to this; whenever he distracted her from her studies she would go all mad on him and keep complaining that it's his fault.

"But it's not my fault that I'm so handsome that you get lost into Samrat world" replied Samrat still amused.

She chucked a paper at him and showed him her tongue.

Samrat started laughing at the childish behavior of his wife.

"Aww come on babe, don't be mad" said Samrat.

"Shhh now go, you can disturb me later, I've got an exam in two hours and I have lots of revision to do" said Gunjan.

"You were awke yesterday night, weren't you?" asked Samrat.

Gunjan knew that Samrat hated it when she would stay up the night to study but she couldn't help it, she had lots to do and she wouldn't have been at peace if she slept.

"Sorry" she mumbled in a soft voice and hid her face inside the book.

Samrat took the book from her hands and tried to put on an angry face.

"Sweetheart you know I asked you to get some sleep, you put me to bed saying you'll join me but you stayed up the night. I would have stayed awake with you, you know" said Samrat taking her face in his hands.

"Staying up with me and not allowing me to study, no thank you" replied Gunjan.

"Fine be that way" said Samrat and huffed and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Whatever babe, now let me get ready, we're leaving in half an hour." Said Gunjan

"But you're not leaving without breakfast" ordered Samrat as Gunjan left to get ready.

Samrat went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. He made some pancakes and as he placed it on the table Gunjan walked in fully dressed with her face buried in her book. On her way to the table she bumped into Samrat. He laughed at her and took the book from her hands and placed it on the table.

"First eat your breakfast and then you can study" said Samrat

"But..." protested Gunjan

"No buts, first eat or else we won't leave" threatened Samrat

Gunjan's eyes widened and she shoved all the food down her throat as fast as possible and in between started coughing. Samrat brought a glass of water towards her mouth and rubbed her back.

"Slow down sweetheart, there's no hurry" said Samrat

"We'll be late Samrat if we don't hurry" said Gunjan

"It's my responsibility to take you on time, now take your time and eat, I promise we'll be there on time" said Samrat.

He cut small pieces of the pancake and fed her. After they finished he cleared up everything while Gunjan did some last minute revision. They locked the door and sat in the car. Gunjan was totally engrossed into her book. Samrat could see her fidgeting with her hands and she was restless. He took one of her hands and held it in his. He bought their hands near him and kissed hers.

"Relax Sweetheart you'll do fine, don't stress out so much" said Samrat trying to calm her

"I hope so" smile Gunjan.

"I can't believe it this is my last exam and then I get to graduate college; I'm so excited but even nervous. I'll miss college and everyone else in this place." Said Gunjan

"Trust me I know how it feels" replied Samrat

Samrat was 3 years older than Gunjan. It's been 3 months to their marriage and they are madly in love with each other. Gunjan rebelled against this marriage, for God's sake she was still in college but her parents convinced her. Samrat too supported her in every way possible and the more she spent time with him, the more she got to know him she fell in love with him. Samrat was well settled in his career, he had an amazing job in one of the top most companies. He helped her with her studies and took care of her like a princess. Gunjan knew that to Samrat, she meant the world to him.

The car came to a halt and Gunjan looked around and knew that they reached her college. She was well prepared for her exam but deep down she was scared, she wanted to make Samrat proud. Samrat saw Gunjan nervous; he could read her like an open book.

"Hey look at me" said Samrat

He held both her hands and looked into her eyes.

"You are going there and are going to own it, believe me. I've seen you work hard and there's nothing stopping you from doing well. Trust me I have full faith in you. Don't think that you'll disappoint me because no matter what your result will be today I'll not be disappointed in you. Got it?" said Samrat

Gunjan nodded and smiled at him. She leaned forward from her seat and put her arms around his neck.

"I love you" said Gunjan.

"I love you too sweetheart" replied Samrat and kissed her lips.

"Now go" said Samrat and ruffled her hair and planted a long kiss on her forehead.

She took one last glance at him and opened the car door and walked out. She looked back to see Samrat waving at her and she gave him a smile and walked into the exam hall.

----

The clock struck 12 and Gunjan completed her paper just on time before the final bell. She submitted her paper and left the hall. Knowing Samrat she knew that he must be waiting in the car for her. She went near the parking area to find him leaning against his car and typing on the phone. He wore dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt which fitted his body perfectly. She looked at him lovingly. While she was walking towards him she noticed many girls checking out her husband and she didn't like it; she had to show them that he belonged only to her. She walked up to him and kissed him. Samrat stumbled a little with the sudden kiss and was about to push away who ever the person was, but once her realized it was Gunjan he kissed her back. The kiss lasted for about only 3 seconds but it felt forever.

"Woah, what was that?" asked a surprised Samrat

"Those girls were looking at you and I didn't like it" admitted Gunjan.

"Why? Were you jealous?" asked Samrat and winked at her.

"I don't like to share what's mine" replied Gunjan and got into the passenger seat.

Samrat smiled to himself and followed her and settled himself in the driver's seat and put his seatbelt on. He roared the car to life and drove out of the parking area.

"How did your paper go?" asked Samrat, his concentration still on the road.

"It was awesome" replied Gunjan.

"I'm so glad I'm done with my studies, I was so exhausted" said Gunjan

"I'm happy too that you're done with college. Do you know how many guys keep staring at you, God help me if I kill them. Now you're all mine and I'm not going to share you with anyone" said Samrat.

"I was always yours Samrat" assured Gunjan and leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

"I never thought I'll find someone who will love me and make me feel special, but deep down I had a hope that there will be someone who will belong with me and I will belong with them. I found that person in you Samrat and it's always been you and nobody else." Said Gunjan looking at him and took his hand and intertwined it with her fingers.

"It's always been only you too for me and there will not be anyone else, never" replied Samrat and looked at her.

"Sweetheart what do you think of Venice?" asked Samrat

Gunjan started jumping and squealing and hugged Samrat understanding what was going on in his mind.

"I'd love to" replied Gunjan.

There is always going to be somebody in our life who would like to call us as theirs. It's all a matter of patience. We will find them and in the process we'll even find so many others who would like to take that place in our life, but we just need to keep our eyes and heart open and one day, you don't know when you'll meet that person. Let that person be the only one in our life because it feels special knowing that "It's only you."
