The Little Box
She touched the little box in her pocket and smiled. She paused and then continued looking for her money. When she found her 5 dollar bill she pulled it out and gave it to the cashier at subways. She grabbed her sandwich and walked out of the store. She had a long walk home and had no license or a car, for that matter she was always afraid of driving and was lucky her husband had a license...and a car.
It was sunny when she went in the store, but by the time she came out there were big grey clouds everywhere. She ignored the ugly and kept walking, she got to the top of the biggest hill on the journey home and it suddenly started pouring hard. She put her head down and sighed, she hated rain. She put her hands in her pockets to keep them warm and touched the box again. She smiled and thought back to the week before;
Her husband and she were broken down only two blocks from the house.
She was freezing and the tow truck was going to be in an hour, there were too many accidents going on at the time. Her husband had suggested the idea of just walking home, since it was so close, she explained how she hated rain and refused. He looked her straight in the eyes and when she finally asked what, he just got out of the car and started dancing. She did what any other sensible women would do; she got out of the car and joined him. They danced there for five minutes before agreeing to race home. She won but was almost certain he let her win. They got hot chocolate and just snuggled up inside the blanket and slept.
Having this thought made the rain seem not so bad, she looked back up, took her hands out of her pockets, and ran. She ran the 11 blocks it took to get to her house, the whole time she had the biggest smile on her face. She got to her driveway and started running faster; she jumped up the stairs, put the key in her door, and rushed in. The lights were off, and no one was home. She was out of breath and when she realized she was by herself, her smile was gone.
She walked up the stairs and hopped in the shower. Ten minutes later she was out and getting ready. She put on a long pink dress, and heels, her hair in a bun and her make-up. She went down stairs and waited, she waited until the car pull up and the horn honk. She knew it was HIM. She walked outside and jumped in the passenger seat, the whole time clutching the little box in her hand.
After the 5 minutes of silence she finally spoke and asked him where they were heading and then he told her to wait.
They did not speak but they understood each other's feeling. It was almost 6 years since they were together.
They knew how special this day was for both of them.
After 15 minutes of a silence drive they finally reached the destination. He got out of the car and like a gentlemen, held out his hand to his lady luck. She gladly accepted.
She looked around and examined the place. She smiled. It was the same place where he had proposed her 6 years back. The place had the same decorations like it was years before on that special day. This day was indeed very special for both of them. They did not even realized how the time passed being with each other.
She was highly impressed and elated by her husband. She turned around to see him already staring at her shining face.
"Do you remember this place"- He asked.
She just stared at him and replied with a kiss.
The kiss was not a sweet but a passionate one.
It was a kiss of love.
It was a kiss of togetherness.
It was a kiss of trust she had on him.
They were the most adorable couple.
It was their sixth anniversary.
It was the same day when they were officially together for the rest of their life. Their love story was same as any other couple. They met, fell in love with each other and from then they were always by each other's side. Their love story was same but the trust, the love, the romance between them was something which made them unique.
They walked inside the place holding each other's hand.
The garden was decorated, in the center was a table arranged for two and a waiter standing there to serve them dinner.
The dinner was a silent affair. The waiter left leaving the couple alone.
After having a walk she asked him what was her gift to which he replied with a small kiss on her forehead.
He whispered in her ear-"A good date ends with a dinner but a wonderful date ends with the breakfast".
She blushed and looked lovingly straight into his eyes.
He took her hand and asked her to proceed towards the suite.
They entered the suite together.
The suite was located in the centre of a huge garden, with beautiful flowers arrangements everywhere. There was a huge rockery in one corner, that had a water channel passing through it. Garden lights were put in abundance in the whole place. Viren and Jeevika looked around the garden and breathed in the fresh air.
The interior was very aesthetically done...the furniture, amenities and the overall styling was done keeping in view the modern trends. There was an elegantly decorated bed room, a living and a dining area, and a small but well equipped kitchenette. The bedroom had a huge sliding door that opened into a spacious veranda joining the lush green garden and giving a surreal view of the Sea.
They both looked towards each other.
Suddenly, silence had crept up, as if, they didn't know what to talk in such a situation. Jeevika was trying her best to break away from the strong gaze that had held her...but to no avail.
Viren's strong gaze had some kind of a magnetic power that was making it difficult for Jeevika to look anywhere else, but in them. For a couple of minutes, as if time had stopped and they both kept on looking in each other's eyes. Finally, Jeevika succeeded to shy away and Viren smiled.
He covered the few steps distance and moved closer to her.
Viren was now very close to her.
They stood there, staring into each other's eyes for a while before Viren leaned forward and scooped her in his arms.
Jeevika blushed and he smiled." I love you , Jeevika" and he carried his lady love into the room, closing the door behind him!
He kissed her lips with all the love while she hesitated for a moment but his unconditional love melted her completely and she responded with equal intensity.
After sometime they were lying in each others
arm tired and spent. Their souls were satisfied.
Finally she spoke.
"I have something for you."
"What?"
"Close your eyes first"
He gave her a confused look.
She smiled and pleaded him to do so.
After he closed his eyes she took out the little box.
She opened the box and took out a band
and
held his hand and made him wear it.
He opened his eyes and saw the band
It said- "I am the best dad"
The words were written in gold.
He looked at her with amusement, excitement and above all with love and care.
She just smiled at him with tears in her eyes.
He hugged her passionately.
They both were entering a new life together.
There future was going to be beautiful.
There unconditional love will get stronger for the rest of their life and after their life.
Hope u like it!
