"Finally, I got a promotion!" Randhir exclaimed happily, standing in his office.

"Let's celebrate Christmas, look I brought a Christmas tree as well" Sanyukta spoke excitedly.

"Yummy, you baked a fruit cake!" Randhir spoke out excited.

"Randhir first eat dinner" Sanyukta replied placing glassware of tasty delicacy.

"Today, I have hit a jackpot!" Randhir clapped his hands like a kid.

"Yeah you got promoted, and it's Christmas too, it's double celebration for us" Sanyukta chirped.

"Hey...hmm it's delicious. What is it, meatloaf?" Randhir spoke, licking his fingers.

"It's a vegetarian meatloaf, saw It's recipe on YouTube" Sanyukta spoke.

"Vegetarian Meatloaf!" Randhir chuckled.

"Once the meatloaf is cooked, you won't know there are any mushrooms. But they are essential to the savory flavor and a chewy texture. Another secret is a mixture of cashews and walnuts that are toasted in the oven until golden and fragrant. Combined with the sautéed mushrooms, toasted nuts add a subtle meaty flavor to the dish and give this nut loaf some texture.Swiss cheese brings a subtle meatiness and cottage cheese brings in the perfect texture complement" Sanyukta gave a lengthy explanation of why this recipe it's called the Vegetarian Meatloaf.

"Mrs. MasterChef thank you so much for this delicious dinner" Randhir pecked her cheek.

"Now let's decorate the Christmas tree!" Sanyukta spoke out, pointing at the tree and decorative stuff she bought.

"Now can we eat the cake?" Randhir spoke with a child like sparkle in his eyes.

Sanyukta gave a slice of cake to Randhir.

"Now let's go out for a walk, I ate too much tonight" Randhir suggested after relishing cake.

"You need to see Bandra's Christmas" Randhir spoke out while driving.

"Yeah I have heard about it, never seen it before my eyes" Sanyukta replied.

"Woah...look at Mount Mary Church" Randhir spoke out as they reached the famous church of Bandra.

"It's beautiful, let's go in" Sanyukta responded.

"Randhir take my photo here with the street decoration in the background" Sanyukta spoke out.

"Let's take selfies as well" Randhir spoke out.

"Hey please can you take a photograph of us" Sanyukta requested a middle-aged woman.

The woman clicked a few snaps of the duo,"God bless you both, such a lovely couple" the woman complimented as she returned the mobile to Sanyukta.

Randhir and Sanyukta blushed as they thanked the woman.

"Randhir, I want to have some ice cream" Sanyukta spoke out with a pout when she sighted an ice cream vendor.

" It's midnight of December. No...no ice cream, you will catch cold" Randhir denied sternly.

"Please...Randhir. Just one cone of ice cream. Okay...buy me my favorite ice chocolate cream and I will give you a return gifted" Sanyukta spoke with child like innocence making sure to melt Randhir's heart.

The duo sat in the car, ready to return. Sanyukta finished her ice cream, and she closed the mirror view light of the car. Randhir ignited the engine, he placed his hand on the gear ready to start the car.

Sanyukta suddenly placed her slender fingers on his, stopping his command on the gear. He cranked his neck to see a smirk on Sanyukta's face.

She removed her seat belt and leaned forward to kiss Randhir's lips slowly. Sliding her tongue inside, she intensified the kiss, Randhir lifted her up to place her in his lap without breaking the kiss.

A car honk from behind brought them back to reality, as they parted away to catch up some air.

"Merry Christmas Wifey" Randhir spoke as he put back Sanyukta in her seat, tucking the seat belt.

"Merry Christmas Honey" Sanyukta spoke out with a grin.

"Lovely return gift,Sanyu" Randhir remarked as he drove the car towards home.

Sanyukta and Randhir sat in their balcony, a blanket around them, with hot coffee mugs in their hands.

"Randhir do you believe in Santa Claus?" Sanyukta asked, looking at the stars.

"No... I don't believe in  Santa Claus,it's fictional, but I believe in fairies" Randhir replied.

"But I do believe in Santa and why do you  believe in fairies?" Sanyukta questioned.

"One such fairy is sitting beside me" Randhir replied with a smile.

Sanyukta leaned her head on his shoulder," I never believed in Santa Claus as a kid, but one man made me believe that Santa is real"she stated.

"Who is that person? Your dad?" Randhir asked.

"You made me believe in Santa Claus, you listen to all my wishes. You heard my complaints, fuss and all my silly food cravings and desires. You are my Santa Claus forever" Sanyukta hugged him tight, she closed her eyes as felt his heart beats rising in his chest.

"You are that fairy who made me believe in love and care" Randhir spoke kissing her forehead, wrapping his arm around her affectionately.
