~Sharon's Birthday Gift~ SwaRon OS

Sharon's 18^th birthday! Like every year Swayam, her best friend has planned a birthday bash for her in his apartment. He is her brother's best friend as well as hers. They are just like family. They are a small group whom everyone called 'Three Musketeers'. Her brother Rey and their best friend Swayam are 3 years older than her. They are 21.

She has always felt that she and her best friend have a magical chemistry between them. She has always been attracted towards him. Every year when he plans her birthday and gives her gifts, she always wish he would give her something which would make them 'US', she has always wished he would gift her his heart. He would give away his heart to her. But every year he would give her chocolates, teddy bears, cards and flowers.

She is the daughter of business tycoon Mr. Gautam Raiprakash. Her parents and her brother have always given her immense love and all sort of luxuries but still she felt incomplete. She knew only Swayam's heart could make her complete.

It was 3 in the morning when everyone took a leave from Swayam's house after having a blast. Rey went to the outhouse knowing Swayam has some secret plans for his dear little sister which she didn't know. When all of them left, Sharon thanked Swayam for celebrating her birthday so grandly by giving him a friendly hug.

"Thank you so much Swayam for planning this grand birthday bash for me."

"Come on Sharon, you know every year I wait for this day so that I can celebrate your birthday." She smiled. "By the way did like my gifts?"

He has gifted her one big jumbo sized teddy bear, big box of chocolates and one big birthday card. Just like every year.

"Yes Swayam I loved them. The teddy bear is so cute. Just like you."

He laughed. "But not as much cute as you."

"Awe really? Thanks!" she said and gave him a side hug. "Will you drop me home? Bro went to home in a hurry don't know why leaving me alone." She pouted. "My driver also took an off today."

"Yeah yeah sure. But can you please wait for few minutes so that I can change?"

"Yes sure."

He went in his room to change. She was waiting in his living room for the last five minutes when she heard her phone buzz in her jean's pocket. She took it out and saw a message from Swayam.

"Come in the balcony."

She thought maybe he needs some help from her for something. So she rushed towards his balcony. When she reached there, there was no one.

"Swayam?" she again heard her phone buzz.

"Dumbo can't you see on the floor there is a box?"

She looked at the floor and saw a box wrapped in a shiny red paper. She stood there staring at the box. In seconds she received another message.

"I haven't seen a person as dumb as you :@. Now will I have to tell you to open it?"

She glared at the phone and looked at her surrounding to find Swayam. She felt like smacking him for calling her dumb repeatedly. When she couldn't find him she huffed and took the box in hers hands to open it.

She was surprised when she opened it. There was a beautiful pink dress in it. She again received a message.

"Come in my room and change into it."

She ran in his room with the box in her hands. When she entered she saw another box on the bed. She rushed quickly to open it so that Swayam doesn't call her a dumbo again. It was wrapped in the same red paper as the gown. She opened it and found an elegant bracelet. There was a red heart in the middle of the bracelet which has 'SS' engraved. She gasped. She was getting confused now. Why Swayam was giving her these gifts? What difference is there in this year's birthday?

"Swayam where are you?"

Her phone buzzed. "Will you quietly do as I say? Just change into the dress." She sighed.

She took the dress and the bracelet and went into his bathroom. After changing into it and wearing the bracelet she came out. In seconds she received another message.

"Now come on the terrace."

She ran towards the terrace. When she was about to enter the terrace her phone again buzzed. She stopped and opened the message.

"I knew you will miss it. That's why I started typing the message beforehand." She was confused about what she missed. "Don't be so much confused dumbo." She glared at her phone. "And stop glaring at your phone. It's not me :P." she blushed thinking how much he knows her. "Turn back and look at the stairs."

She turned back and saw each stair has a box on it in the corner. She started counting. There were 11 stairs and she found 11 boxes on the 11 stairs. She gasped. Her heart started pounding. Only she could think was why Swayam was making this birthday of hers so special?

All the boxes were wrapped in the same red shiny paper. She started opening the boxes one by one.

The first box contains a black stiletto which was a great match for her dress. She removed her sneakers and wore the stiletto which Swayam gifted her. In the second box she found a beautiful purse matching with her dress. The third one had her favourite perfume. More than being surprise she was getting the shock of her life. The fourth had a smiley ball. Fifth a makeup kit, sixth an orchid bouquet, seventh a digital camera, eighth a MP3 player, ninth a pen, tenth a heart shaped pillow, eleventh a scrapbook.

She felt like she will pass out any moment. Her breath was stuck in her throat. She was just looking at the gifts shocked. She opened the scrapbook which consisted of all their pictures together from the time they met. She heard her phone buzzing.

The message read. "Will you not come in the terrace?" She gathered all the gifts together and kept them in a corner. Poor Sharon, her cute little hands couldn't carry so many things together. She stood up on her trembling legs and rushed in the terrace. Three boxes were placed on the floor wrapped in the same paper. Another thing she saw was a basket. She rushed towards it and it held a cute baby pug. She took it in her hairs and caressed it. It was softer than a soft toy. After like eternity she kept the puppy back in the basket and was about the open the boxes. She again got a message.

"Open the big box at the end." There were three boxes and two of them were of the same size and the other was a little bigger. She looked at the bigger box and felt like tearing the wrapper and look into it. But she didn't. She held her curiosity back and opened one of the small boxes. The first box had a photo frame with their photo. The second box had an empty scrapbook. She held it in her hands and was thinking why Swayam gave her an empty scrapbook. Then again her phone buzzed.

"Open the big box now."

She quickly kept the book in the box back and opened the big box and she was surprised to see another box into it. She opened that one and there was another box. After going on opening boxes after boxes the last box came. She thankfully moaned. There were two things in there, a diamond ring and a key. That ring made her almost unconscious. Tears threatened to fell from her eyes. She started to have hiccups cause of holding back her breath for such a long time. It dawned onto her what Swayam was doing. He was going to propose her. She took the ring and the key in her hand. She couldn't understand why he gave her that key. She was waiting for his message but none came. She got up and turned to go back in his room when she saw a piece of paper on the floor. She went and took it in her hands. The colour of the paper was red. It read.

Dear Sharon,

As it is your 18^th birthday I thought of giving you 18 different gifts. You have already received 17 of them and all has a deep meaning. The pink dress I gave you because you always look an angel when you wear pink. I love staring at my pink angel. I love it when the colour of your cheeks and the colour of your dress match just the way it is matching now. The bracelet engraved 'SS' in a red heart means Swayam and Sharon together in one heart that is our heart. I love the sound of your heels. When you walk and your heels make sounds like 'tuck', 'tuck'. I love it. It's the most beautiful melody for me. I know you love purses and I also know you have my photos in all of them. But Sharon I am not complete without you. So I have kept our photos in this purse. How can Swayam be complete without his Sharon? The intoxicating smell of your perfume with the mixture of your smell makes me go crazy. I want to keep you so close to me that your smell reaches all the nerves and cells of my body. Like that smile on the smiley I promise I will keep your lips curved in a smile, forever. I know you love to look beautiful, so for your sake I gave you that makeup kit. But I want to tell you that you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. I love your beauty Sharon, your natural beauty. Whenever I see you in your jeans and cartoon tees with your hair up, it take my breath away. Like the flower, I promise that I will make your life a beautiful journey. From the time the bud of our relationship will start growing till it dies, that is till I die it will be a mesmerizing journey for you. I want to lock all the seconds I spend with you Sharon and this can be only done by the help of the camera. The MP3 player has only one song in it, which resembles our feelings. It's 'Pehla Nasha'. I know how much you love writing in your diary. That pen will help you to write all the beautiful memories which you will spend with me. When I will be away from you, after my death that pillow will replace my arms. I know you must want to kill me now for talking about my death and you must be wishing that you will go from this world first but sweetheart that's not possible. Till the time I am alive I won't let you go anywhere away from me. After starting a new chapter I thought we will together read our previous chapters. So I gathered all the beautiful moments of our life in that scrapbook. It will be a great experience to read the chapters we have spent together. By giving you 'Albe', the cute puppy I wanted to tell you that I want cute little babies with you. I want to be a father of our children. The picture I gave you in the frame is the picture of that day I realized what I feel for you. I want to keep it in our bedroom as it is the picture of the most memorable day of my life, of course other than today. That empty scrapbook will be filled with all the beautiful moments of our new chapter. The ring, I am sure you are not that dumb, Miss Dumbo, I know that you know why I gave it to you. Last one the key, it is the key to my heart. Your 18^th gift is my heart, which I know is the best gift according to you. Well I can't wait anymore to hold you in my arms. I am coming to you Sharon and this time not as your best friend. I am coming as your lover, as your wood be husband.

Forever yours,

Swayam.

She was in tears when she saw Swayam's blur image proceeding towards her. He came and cupped her face lovingly. He then leaned down and sucked her tears with his lips.

She couldn't say anything or do anything. She stood there with her eyes closed feeling his lips on them. She has wished and dreamed of this day from when she didn't even remember. She buried her head in his chest and kept on sobbing.

"Shh. Sharon why are you crying? Is my heart a dragon which will eat you alive?"

She pinched him and said "you are so stupid Swayam. These are tears of happiness."

"Will you not ask me why I gifted you the key to my heart on your 18^th birthday?"

"Why?" she managed to say in between her sobs.

"Because I couldn't have waited for a moment after giving my heart to you."

She looked up at him confused. He took the ring from her hand and sat on his one knee.

"Will you marry me Sharon? Will you be mine?" she gasped. She couldn't say anything. She kept on staring at him.

"Sharon my ankle is paining. Please answer me!"

She still couldn't say anything. Her sobs were not allowing her to say anything. She just managed to shake her head in positive. His happiness knew no limits. He slid the ring in her ring finger and said.

"I love you so much Sharon and I will always do so."

She hugged him tightly and whispered "I love you too Swayam."

Finally she got the gift she has always craved for; Swayam's heart, which made her complete.
