Merry Christmas 😊
Secret Santa part 2
Next morning I woke up to a bright sunny day the sun was like a boon of warmth in this cold chilly weather ... sipping my coffee from the mug an unknown smile playing on my lips .. oh wait correction the new mug ... yes yesterday my secret Santa gifted me a coffee mug ...
I reached office rushing like a maniac because i was super late ... all thanks to that duffer friend of mine who never came to pick me up today and more amazing thing is that his phone is switched off ... he'll be minced today if I see him ... I was hell angry ... reaching the office I received another gift lying in the same state like the previous one ... I kept it inside the bag and went to check this duffer's cubicle... it was empty ... now my anger turned to worry he never skips office is he alright ? On enquiring I got to know that he came early morning for some important submissions and went back as he was not well...
After that it became impossible for me to concentrate on work and taking leave I rushed to his apartment... thanks to the festival less work load ...
Ringing the bell twice and getting no response I wasted no more time and opened the door with the extra keys kept with me ...
The house was a complete mess ... but I'll handle that later thinking i rushed towards the bedroom... there he was lying covered with multiple blankets his cold has worsened I guessed ... on seeing him I got my breaths back which was struck somewhere since morning...this view in front of me was so cute he was sleeping like a child ... only his forehead, eyes and that tiny nose outside the blanket and rest all covered up ... a chuckle escaped my lips and I lowered myself on the bed to check his temperature sighing in relief the temperature was not much just a bit more than normal ... he woke up on my touch rubbing his eyes he sat on the bed covering himself with the blanket from the head like a shawl " nishu tu yaha " he spoke casually... and the moment he spoke my anger returned how can he be so normal making my breath stop ... " where is your phone idiot" I smaked his head with irritation... " pata nai .. shayad battery dead h ... " he spoke yawning... and again he looked so cute that my anger vanished... " kuch khaya? " I asked and he nodded in a no .. preparing him some soup I went back to find him asleep resting his head and the headrest of the bed ... waking him up I asked him to eat and got those sulking expression back " kya yaar muje nai chahiye ye tasteless soup " and coverd his mouth with both the hands ... " kabir dekh ab bachcho ko tarha behave karna band kar ... finish this soup in 5 min or else I have other ways also " I spoke sternly eyeing him ... " kya yaar kitna daantti h mujhe " he complained... " Marti bhi hu " I answered back ... and within minutes the bowl was empty ,he was hungry though... taking the medicine he slept again and I went to work ... cleaning the hall headed to his bedroom his light snoars killing the silence... when something caught my attention... a medium sized cardboard box laying behind the couch ... failing to control my curiosity I opened it ... and to my surprise it contained all our memories of past two years ... the gifts I gave him on his birthday and in the bottom lie a duppata which looked similar to mine that i thought was lost few months ago ... all the thing were kept so cautiously that they looked brand new ... my thoughts were disturbed by the ringing of my phone ... keeping the box aside I picked up the call before he gets disturbed... hanging the call I sat beside him on the bed and checked the temperature once again and to the relief it was normal ... sighing I started reading my novel with a cup of coffee and waited for him to wake up so that I could leave ... it was getting late and already evening turning to night ...
I was busy reading the novel and was sipping my coffee when he turned in his sleep and ended up straddling my lap and his hand wrapped my waist tightly...
My eyes popped up wide and I was about to spit the coffee on his action but somehow controlled myself...
Keeping the cup and book aside I stared at his sleeping figure...and don't know what happened to me I was lost in his enchanting face ... many times I thought of waking him up but it seemed he was in his deepest and most comfortable slumber and don't know when my hands made their way to his hairs and started caressing them ...
Whole night passed with us in the same position and his grip getting tight on my waist every now and then ... leaving me with the fluttering feeling in my belly...
In the morning somehow I got hold of his grip and loosen it making him lie down on the bed and left for my home not before preparing the breakfasts for him ...
After returning from his house no second passed when I could think anything beyond him and this new feeling I'm experiencing.. but wait is this actually new ... why I feel bad when he don't come to pick me up , when he go on date with those clingy girls , why only his small gesture brings smile on my face , why his closeness is affecting me so much,... it was when I received the call from home that I realised it was Christmas Eve today ... that reminded me of the second gift ... I immediately unwrapped it ... it was a beautiful white dress with a note " a beautiful gown for the beautiful angel ... hope you wear this tonight for the party ... waiting to meet you in this white gown tonight snow-white " and the butterflies came back ... snow-white ... only kabir calls me that but how can he ...
At evening I reached the venue in that white knee length gown paired with silver ballerina and my hair lightly curled ... the party was on ful swing every one enjoying but my eyes searching for someone unknown but known ... the program started where the winners of the games held past week were announced, till now there was no sign of his presence and I could gather the strength to call him with this stupid things going on my head... soon a waiter came and handling me a small box left ... on opening the box a note was kept inside " don't want to meet me snow-white... your Secret Santa is waiting on the terrace"
I took my steps towards the terrace and was welcomed to a beautiful surrounding . Red green and golden lights spread over the place and light music flowing in the background... with a bone fire in the middle filling the chilling night with its warmth and a table with two same coffee cups kept that I received as the gift filling the place with its aura ... I looked everywhere but no one was around... suddenly everything went black as I was blindfolded my heart skipped a beat when a warm breath touched my ears and now I don't need further confirmation I know his presence and the shy smile came back with a but nervousness, sensing it he spoke in his whispering voice near my ears " u trust me nishu ?" I just nodded in approval... holding my hand he took me few steps away and before opening my eyes he spoke again ... " it's your life, your decision will be the final one and I promise aaj yaha chahe Jo b ho hmari friendship par koi asar nai padega.. it will remain as it was before your enter this terrace " and he opened the blindfold the wall in front of me was covered with our pics together... and in between it was craved " love is in the air ..." overwhelmed with this I turned to face him and find him on his knees before me holding a box of ring ... "I don't know nisha kab aur kaha but yar I can't imagine a day without u ... my morning starts with u and ends with u... I used to hate coffee but u have made me addicted to it... *laughing* pata nai yaar kaise par pyar hogaya tujhse " and there I stood with my hands crossed over the chest with a frown ... he being tensed stood up and spoke " sorry tujhe achcha nai laga to .. " but stopped in middle when I gestured my hand to do so ... " Roz subha aur sham ko coffee tu banayega...and every year I want gifts from my secret Santa jaise is bar mile h " I spoke in a go ...with a straight face ... "Kya??" Only this could come out from his confused brain ... " manjur h ya nai ??" I spoke again ... and it was then that it registered in his stupid brain and he nodded his head vigorously grinning and hugged me
" I love u nisha "
" I love u too stupid "
And this Christmas I got my secret Santa forever😉 ...
Note :- Sorry to all I know thoda late hogaya ... aur shayad up to your expectations b nai h ... do comments kaisa laga 😊
