Do you know what 'happiness' is? It is when you wish for something and are very sure that it will never come true, and one day it suddenly comes true. Well, that is happiness. And do you know what a 'surprise' is? Umm.. when this unexpected happiness comes from the unexpected people.

I never thought my little innocent but extravagant childhood fantasy would ever come true. Well, even back then I knew it was just my imagination. But that day, it was no more a 'dream'. It was a 'dream come true'. A wish my childhood brain had wanted, got woven into reality. By, Rohit. Even today, after two eventful months of that incident, it yet feels like a magic, a miracle, a reality not-so-real!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Durga Puja came and went, Kali Puja, followed by Diwali and now with all the festivities over, we are back to the pavilion of our life, our daily chore. And with that came a new phase of life to me. But amongst everything, the memory of that evening at Goa is yet as fresh as just bloomed flower.

Well, as if that wasn't enough, Rohit gifted me something I never had wished for! Today, when I look around me, I simply wonder, how much time has he spent to plan all these, to execute this plan? The store room isn't just 'the store room' anymore. It's my work station, with stacks of clothes piled on a rack, a makeshift dress holder for my already made dresses, the table topped with the sewing machine and the laptop. The contact list of the supplies of the raw materials stuck up, extra lights attached. My, my! And to add cherry on the cake, Rohit has painted a wall into a bright royal colour, where the models would be shoot. Yes, you heard me right. Models! Precisely, one of his colleague's sister, and another colleague's wife, whom he have convinced pretty badly about modelling for my dresses.

What more could I want?

But it seems he exactly knew what else I needed. A website. Yes, yes, yes. He designed me a website too. And now I am directly contacting my buyers. What I added to it is, Titli's handmade accessories, clutches etc. You remember Titli? My brother Chuni's baby girlfriend? Well, I had given her the charge of my workshop in Kolkata. And the girl who worked under me there is given the responsibility of the clients there. Over all, my business turned a new leaf after my marriage, and I know, this is mostly because of Rohit. Well, had it not been him, I would never thought of running my own website to sell my dresses, which almost seems like a baby company to me now. Whoa!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's almost nine now, and Rohit yet hasn't arrived. He did tell me in the morning that he would be late, but somehow I am impatient. I really don't know why, but I am.

Umm... Let's go to the roof, from there the main gate of our township is visible. I will know the minute when he enters the gate.

Unlocking the door of the roof, I stepped out. And that evening in Goa, sparkled in front of my eyes.

My childhood fantasy was to live alone on a small island, lying under the stars, counting them. I will built my house there, and bring along my family. Somewhat like Robinson Cruiso. Well, even back then, I always knew I will always be a dream. For never I shall be to built a house all by myself, let alone own a whole island! But that evening, my husband made it come true. Even if it was only for a couple of days. Yes, exactly, a couple of days! That evening, he had booked the cruise for the next 48 hours. Our cruise sailed on the Arabian for the next two days, always keeping shore near. We made ourselves a camp on the deck of the cruise. Caught fishes, grilled them and ate. I have never been a fan of seafood, but the excitement of this, made me forget my taste. Rohit knew swimming. So, asking the captain, wherever the water was safe, he jumped into it. And trust me, it was treat to watch him. Those strong lean arms cutting through the water; his body glistening with sultry salty water and the sun rays shining over his back, making it copperish in colour; everything simply looked so divine!

"I will make all your dreams come true." I could his promise during our wedding already coming true. And the surprise he had kept for me in our store room, after we returned from our holiday had knocked my brain then.

Have I really been blind about him all these years? Or has he really changed? No, everything can't be a pretence. Though he yet despises wearing my designed dresses, but there is a certain subtle change in him which, though I can't put my finger upon, can feel it.

Oh, there is he, flying his scooty. I got to tell him to drive slower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey.." I smiled ear to ear opening the door. But his face was red. As if he would cry anytime now. "Are you al.." "Move.." Before I could say anything else, he literally shoved me, and run towards the bathroom.

Moments later I heard the flush running!

GOD! WHAT I AM TO DO WITH HIM!
