Here goes nothing...
~ Something Special ~
She tossed & turned in her bed, unable to sleep as the bright rays of the morning sun were being too cruel to her. She tried turning to the other side but the sunlight caught her there as well. Suddenly an angelic voice sounded in the room, "wake up sleepy head, it's already 10am". "don't be mean Swayam, let me sleep", she said, sounding like a typical cranky school going child in the morning. "Sharon, do you even realise what day it is today?", Swayam said trying hard to get her out of bed. " No I don't. What's so special about today?", Sharon asked the sleepiness in her voice disappearing. "You don't remember?" Swayam said disbelief clear in his voice. "Tell me na please" Sharon said now getting up. "I wont tell you a thing! find out on your own" saying this he marched out of the room leaving behind a totally confused & clueless Sharon.
Sharon got out of bed & freshened up. All the while she was thinking about the speciality of the day. "today isn't our anniversary & neither is it any of our birthday. Infact it's nobody's birthday today. Then what's so special?"
She wanted to find out as soon as possible. She wasn't the kind of person who would forget important dates. Infact she was the one who reminded everyone of birthdays & anniversary's. And today Swayam was saying that she had forgotten some important date. Impossible! But curiosity got the most of her. She scurried downstairs to find Swayam sitting on the couch & reading the morning paper. She went straight to him & plopped on the couch right beside him.
Sh: Swayam, you were talking about some important event today, what was it?
Sw: I already told you that I'm not going to tell you anything. Find out on your own.
Sharon snatched the paper from his hand tossed it aside & gave him the 'puppy dog face'. "Oh no, that ain't gonna work on me dear wifey" Swayam said making a stern face. She pouted & went into the kitchen.
"I can't stand this. I have to know what the speciality about today is! By hook or by crook!" she said giving an evil giggle. She made some coffee & took it to Swayam. She brought the cup on straight alignment with his face. Swayam was dazed, he looked at the cup & then at Sharon & back at the cup. He continued this for some time & then finally spoke, "you... You made this?" he asked in utter disbelief. "Yeah, what did you think? That I'm not capable of making coffee?" said Sharon. "Of course you are, if you want to kill me that is" Swayam said smirking. "why would I want to kill you Swayam?" Sharon said trying to be sweet. "Why would you not?" Swayam asked matter of factly. Sharon leant closer towards Swayam put her hands around his neck & pulled him close "Because you are my husband". "Oh" Swayam said wrapping his hands around her waist.
They were lost in each other for a while & then Swayam broke the trance & spoke "Sharon..". "yes?" Sharon said. " I'm still not going to tell you the specialty of today" he said struggling to fight back fits of laughter. Sharon's expression turned to one of utter disbelief & she stood up & walked away to the balcony & stood there with folded hands.
Swayam followed her & hugged her from behind, placing his chin on her shoulder. He ran his lips around her neck. She shivered at his touch. He made her turn around and look into his eyes. She tried to avoid his piercing glances but she failed miserably. It wasn't her fault, no living person could ignore that beautiful smile & those deep brown eyes. "I'm not talking to you before you tell me Swayam!" she said trying to sound stern. "make me!" Swayam said with gleam in his eyes. "Swayam are you telling me or not?" she asked this time really irritated. "I think not" he said cheekily. "Fine then.." she said, pushing Swayam back and going away. But Swayam was too quick for her. He pulled her back with such a force that she banged on to him. Her back was against his chest & he was running his lips around her neck. "Swayam..let me go" she said angrily. "No" he said. "Then tell me what's so special about today?" she asked very seriously. Swayam made her turn & asked "You really wanna know?". "Yes" Sharon replied.
"It's Sunday!" he said trying to suppress fits of laughter. "huh.." Sharon said starng at Swayam wide eyes."Swayam Shekhawat you are dead!" she said running after Swayam who had already taken off for his dear life.
