CHAPTER 6
Scene continues...
Still staring at the phone, looking deep into her eyes, gazing at her hair locks, he planned how he will confess his love. On a date or at some love destination or at...Don't know.
With a rose...Red.. yellow or pink. Don't know.
What should I wear...black jacket...na blue one...but she likes white. Don't know.
A ring...no that's for unmarried couples...a neck piece...its old fashion. Don't know.
Irritated, he said, "What you know about her that you will propose her in a grand way? Maybe she likes simple one. Maybe she has some other expectations from her lover. Maybe...
Again frustrated, he decided to take a stern decision. He would propose her the very moment he sees her in person this time obviously when she'll be back from London. It has been fifteen days he has not seen her and this time when she comes I will propose her. But if it goes very sudden, then? Arey it is only Suraj Rajvanshi's way. Shocking! Unexpected!
And with a big smile on his face, he dozed off to sleep. A sound sleep.
A pleasurable, soothing music , Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Suraj... Crossed his ears. He wanted to enjoy it with all the world kept aside but a sudden realisation, woke him up with a start.
He found her sitting beside him with a cake and a candle lit up. His mouth opened seeing her.
No it's a dream. How can she be? Her smiling face made him feel like an idiot who was being driven away by a illusion. God damn end this dream. It's more than pleasurable. I can't bear this much from you.
The click of her finger brought him in the original world.
Chakor, " Happy birthday, Suraj!
Suraj stunned as she speaks, " are you real?
Chakor giggling, " no I am a ghost. Pinched him , " it's not a dream!
Suraj, "no it is!
Chakor, " dumbo! It's me Chakor. Remember me... It's your birthday today! directing him to the clock, "see the time, 12:04 am!
Suraj, "can I touch you ? pointing his finger to her hand.
Chakor giggled at him and came forward to hug him, " many returns of the day! And may you live long!
Now when out of his doubt world, he realized what is actually happening still a million questions drooling over his head.
Chakor, " now blow the candle and cut the cake.
He smilingly blew the candle and cut the cake, fed her first and she gave him four five gifts.
Suraj, " what is this?
Chakor, " an object wrapped in a colourful paper, given on an occasion of birthday is called gift.
He made a face and said, " I know. But why so many?
Chakor, "I bought them before, but I couldn't decide which will you like. So I thought to give them to you now, so that you aren't left with an option. Smirkingly.
He took the gifts and said, " I will open them first let me know, why, how and when are you here?
Chakor folding her legs and sitting comfortably on the bed, " So listen, today dad and mum returned to Delhi. They asked me to stay there in London but my mum asked me to come to you as you might be facing many problems here alone. I even didn't refuse as it was your birthday today and I wanted to surprise you. In the evening, when you called me, we were in the airport. Dad had a important meeting today in the morning, so they left saying sorry to you.
Suraj, " oh I see. By the way, I liked your surprise or I should say a shock...Wait how did you get in?
Chakor, " spare keys! showing him the keys.
Then he opened the gift. First the smallest one, he found a wrist watch, then the sunglasses, then the shirt. All were good. And he thanked her for the gifts. Chakor was delighted that he liked her gifts.
Next day, he went to the office wearing the same shirt. Chakor was more than happy at this. As it proved her shirt was worth him. He was extremely careful in sense of his clothings for the office. Each day, he used to change at least ten shirts to select one. And he was very choosy at this.
At evening, Arhaan came to pick her up for the office as they were planning a surprise for Suraj. She got ready in blue coloured frock nicely knowing it's his favourite colour and went with Arhaan. There whole staff was waiting for her. They made sure Suraj is busy in his cabin.
In the cabin, when he was busy working in some files, the lights went off.
Suraj, "oh what is this? Lights!... Nitibha check what happened. She proceeded to check when she fell over Suraj standing near the shelf. Luckily, he held her preventing her from falling.
Just then Chakor with a cake, and whole staff behind her entered. The lights were on. Seeing everyone entering, Nitibha retreated and Suraj's badluck, Chakor saw him in this position.
Now Suraj could make out what is going to happen. But damn the moment, something else happened. Her face which was disappointed changed into a smiling one. Although he wasn't sure, the smile was fake or real, he avoided to see in her eyes.
Everyone wished him and Chakor placed the cake on the table and stood just opposite to him facing him.
Chakor, " Suraj now cut the cake!
Everything went smoothly but in all this, Chakor was never near Suraj. She talked to other office members, busy with them. But she never neared him.
They had dinner and enjoyed a lot. Suraj wanted to explain her everything but he never got a chance. On their way to home, she was silent listening to the music on headphones. On reaching home, she directly went to change and then to bed.
Suraj was desperate to talk to her but she avoided him.
Suraj , Chakor please listen to me.
Chakor, " yup Suraj, now you will explain me everything like you wanted to do since the time I saw you romancing with that cheapster.
Suraj, " Chakor, you are mistaken!
Chakor, " Suraj, whenever I start thinking that our relationship is going well, I see some or the other thing, I don't want to see or I should say that makes me feel cheated.
Suraj, Don't you trust me!
Chakor, "I do. But I am more practical and less emotional. I can't always ignore what my eyes see .
Suraj, " I accept I am a bit friendly to Nitibha but that is necessary so as to get good deal of work. Today she was about to...
Interrupted by Chakor, " no need to explain me what happened. Today is your birthday and i don't want to spoil it with such argument. I am tired so wanna sleep.
Suraj, " I have spoilt it on my own. Hope you try to understand me. And he went to the study room.
Although Chakor was angry at him, she couldn't sleep. He didn't return. So not able to control herself, she went to see him.
He was there, lying on the sofa with a file kept on his chest and sleeping with his reading glasses on. She went to him, carefully removed the file, reading glasses, adjusted the AC temperature, brought a blanket and pulled it on him.
Feeling the warmth of blanket, he cuddled himself in, making Chakor giggle at his baby like actions, murmuring something, "i...won'ttt lleave you...
She wondered for whom he was saying so. Her instincts of a wife arose thinking about how to get rid of that Nitibha. Was he saying that for her or that cheapster.
Next morning, he woke up finding himself covered in the blanket. His things set aside. He knew who the culprit was and a smile adorned his face.
He felt some steps towards the room. So the first thing that came to his mind was, pretend to sleep. And Suraj Rajvanshi, the Oscar winner started his acting.
Chakor entered the room, saw him still sleeping. Thank God it was Sunday. She was having a cup of coffee. She tried to wake up Suraj trying different tricks but she couldn't. It was the first time when she saw him sleeping like this.
She then held his index finger and took it to the coffee mug finally dipping it in.
OH MY GOD!
"ouch!was the first thing heared and he sat up facing her giving her expression of I won't spare you.
Chakor, " you think you are a very good actor but remember I am your wife. And stood up to go away only to be pulled back by him.
He held his both ears with his hands saying , I am sorry. My intentions were not wrong but if you felt something like that, I promise it won't happen again.
Chakor was glad that he felt the need to apologise to her. So she too, can't resist herself, "ok Suraj, I hope you will not break my trust. But I feel that girl's intentions are not good. She is very arrogant and I hate her.
Suraj in mind, " Everything you hate will be out of our life. I love you and can do anything for you.
So guys this was the chapter focussing on Suraj's birthday. Next chapter contain Chakor realisation and that interesting process. Let's see. Tell me how was this one.
