2 Years Later

Sandhya Pov

It's been two years since everything got right in my married life. Life with Akash is awesome. He did what he had promised me to do. He gave me a lots and lots of new memories and made our life way better than before.

Tomorrow is our fifth year wedding anniversary but he might not be here with me to celebrate our special day. Why? Because he went on an important and unavoidable business trip.

Flaws of being a top businessman.

I really hate his business trips from the bottom of my heart but what to do? Work is important for my workaholic husband.

Akash went on his trip seven days ago. I was also going to accompany him in this trip but at the peak moment I fall sick and my mother in law strictly restricted me to even put a step out of my room. So, he left me alone and I got trapped in this room which seems boring without Akash.

Right now I am roaming around in my room back and forth and biting my nails.

It seems like I am very much tensed right?

No, I am not tensed. I am super excited because I have planned an awesome surprise from my dear husband and I can't wait to give him that surprise.

'Tring Tring Tring...'

I heard the ringing sound of my cellphone and without wasting any second I answered the call.

"What's the situation Satvik?", I enquired hopefully and crossed my fingers to get a positive response from him.

"Ummm!", He hesitated and I understood that the situation is not in my favour.

"It's okay Satvik. Where is he?", I enquired sadly.

"I am sorry Adhya. These investors want to held one more meeting which is scheduled for tomorrow. Trust me. I and Akash tried our level best to convince them but they were so adamant. They even gave us the ultimatum to call off the deal.", He said.

"It's okay Satvik. Where is he?", I repeated my question.

I am not interested in any of his excuses. I personally don't understand what's the use of earnings this much money when you can't even spend your special day with your loved ones?

"He is still stuck in the meeting.", He said.

"Good, Tell your friend to call me immediately the moment he gets some free time.", I said and disconnected the call.

I didn't want to listen any of his baseless explanations. It is just a mere deal. How it can be more important than his wife's happiness? It's not like our company will go bankrupt and we will come on the roads if we don't get that deal.

A lone tear rolled out of my eyes, I wiped it abruptly. No, I won't cry It's not the right time to get weak. It's time to teach him a lesson and to make him realise my importance in his life.

I move towards my closet and took out some clothes. I angrily packed my luggage and went towards my in-laws room.

I noticed that the door of their room is already open.

"Maa.", I called her.

"Come Adhya beta.", She said.

"Maa I want to visit my parents house and stay with them for some days. Can I?", I asked her.

She raised her eyebrows questioningly and observed me keenly. I averted my gaze and started looking here and there except her eyes to avoid any sort of eye contact with her. She has the tendency to read my eyes like an open book.

"What's the matter Adhya?", She enquired.

"It's nothing Maa. It's just! It's been so long since I spend some time with them.", I tried to convince her.

"Is it so?", She enquired doubtfully.

I nodded my head immediately. I hope she believes on my lie and let me go.

"Okay you can go but not today. I will ask your Paa to inform your Dad. Tomorrow either Luv or Kush will come to fetch you then you can go with them.", She said.

I grinned happily and hugged her instantly.

"Thank you Maa.", I said enthusiastically.

She giggled and caressed my cheeks.

I came back to my room and lied down on the bed. I kept on looking at the celling. I wish Akash was here with us. I have something very important and big to share with him but he only wants to maintain his top image in the business world.

Let him enjoy his title of best businessman. I will soon make him realise who is his real boss. Just wait and watch my dear husband.

My eyes started getting heavier with each passing seconds and I drowned down into a deep slumber.

Some weird rustling and shuffling noises reached up to my ears and disturbed my sleep.

I opened my eyes and spread my palm in search of my cellphone. Once I found that device I turn on it's screen and blinked my eyes for few times to clear my blurred vision.

The screen of my cellphone shows 12:15 A.M.

I sat down abruptly. 12:15 AM means it's my wedding anniversary. Wow. Just wow. I am glad with my husband's attention. He didn't even thought to atleast call me. Great! I am overwhelmed.

If I had even thought of being a bit liberal with my punishments while putting some sense into his brain then I won't be doing that now. He actually needs to taught a very very very good lesson to never mess up with his wife emotions.

Again I heard some weird noises coming from outside of my room. What's going on out there?

May be some burglar barged into our house and trying to steal! Only this was left to happen.

I groaned irritatedly and stood up from the bed.

I picked up Akash's old cricket bat and move towards the door. I twisted the knob and opened the gate slowly. I peeked out expecting a burglar but what I saw made my eyes shimmer with joy and my lips curled up surprisingly.

The floor infront of me is covered with rose petals. The petals are spread in such a manner that it leads me to a way.

I kept the bat on the floor and started walking above the rose petals. It feels like I am walking on an extremely soft sheet. I giggled enthusiastically and kept on following the petals.

I reached the backyard and the scene here is undefinable. There were lots and lots of strings hanging around and at the end of each string mine and Akash's pictures are attached.

I acknowledged our photographs and adored each one of them but where is that person who has prepared all these things?

I roam my eyes around, holding my rushing heart who wants to see his lovely face.

Suddenly the lights went off and I gasped scaredly. I am not very much fond of the darkness.

I glued to my place and waited for the lights to return and it did came back after few seconds but not only the electricity lights along with it also came the light of my life 'My husband.'

He is sitting infront of me on his one knee, carrying a rose in between his palm and a cute teddy bear in between his arm.

"Happy wedding anniversary wifey."

My eyes welled up with tears. He stood up and spread his hands wide ready to capture me in his embrace. Without wasting any seconds I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

He squeezed me in between his arms and lifted me up high in the air.

"I missed you a lot. You know? I was so angry on you. I even packed my luggage to move into my parents home....", I started blabbering and complaining but he shushed me by claiming my lips.

I smiled shyly and began kissing him back pouring all my passion, hunger, anger and emotion I feel for him.

Our moment got interrupted by someone's coughing sound. Me and Akash parted away instantly to see the intruder and It's Satvik.

Thank God it's him only. If it would  have been my In-laws! Then the situation might turn out to be very embarrassing.

"Hold your horses love birds for a little while.", Satvik teased us.

I blushed shyly and tried to increase the gap between me and Akash but he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.

"Shoo away buddy and let me enjoy with my Tittly.", He said.

"Haww! You should be thankful to me. I helped you to organise this surprise but instead of being thankful you are throwing me out. So mean!", Satvik complained dramatically.

"Done with your drama? Now shoo.", Akash said and lifted me up into his arms as bridal style.

"You desperate pervert! I will see you later. By the way happy wedding anniversary Adhya.", Said Satvik and left us alone.

Akash carried me all the way up to our room and added some more essence by making sweet and passionate love to me and made this night memorable for both of us.
_______________________________________

Me and Akash entered inside the party venue specially organised by my In-laws for us.

One by one each guests came to us and wished happy wedding anniversary.

Akash excused himself and went towards some of his business associates leaving me all by myself.

I was busy on attending guests when someone tapped on my shoulder I turn around and saw that it's Mom, Karuna Masi and Riya Mami but there is one more lady standing with them. Who is she? I didn't recognise her.

"Adhya I wanted you to meet my friend Prisha Agarwal.", Mom said introducing that lady.

Prisha Agarwal! Why I feel like I have heard this name before? Wait! Oh God! She is Prisha Agarwal.

"Mom is she the one who has written your story, Arrange Marriage or Love Marriage?", I enquired excitedly.

"Yes beta she is the one who has written our story.", Mom said gesturing herself, Karuna Masi and Riya Mami.

"And she is the one who has also written your story too."

She lifted up my hand and kept a book on my palm.

I became confused. My story! I stared at the book and read it's title

'Story of an orphan girl.'

I turn over the first page and it has my picture printed on it.

"It's written on me?", I enquired.

"Yes it's your anniversary gift.", Said Mami.

"Thank you so much to all of you. I can't express how happy I am. I feel like a celebrity.", I said and giggled on my own statement.

"I enjoyed writing your story Sandhya. It's really an inspiration for everyone and it conveys a great message. It says,

Never loose hope,
Do whatever you feel is right,
Leave everything on God.
At the end you will definitely get
What you truly deserve.

I think everyone should read this book.", Said Prisha.

"Will you please come with me. I want you to meet my husband.", I said.

"Oh yes, I will love to meet Mr Akash Goenka.", She said.

I took her with me towards where my husband is and introduced them to each other. Akash became very happy after getting enlightened about the book.

I noticed that Prisha is continuously staring at one direction. I followed her line of vision and saw that it's Deepak, Akash's cousin brother, whom she is staring at.

"Sorry to say but he is not available he is already engaged to someone.", I wishpered closer to her ear.

She got startled by my action and breathed heavily.

"Oh God! You really scared me Sandhya.", She kept her palm over her heart.

"Sorry.", I apologised and smiled sheepishly.

"For your kind information I am not interested into him in that way.", She said.

I raised my eyebrows being extremely confused. What does she mean by not in that way?

"I am a writer Sandhya and I am on story hunt right now and I guess my hunt is going to get over. Can you introduce me to the man standing there?", She said pointing at Deepak.

"Okay.", I said and shrugged my shoulder.

I introduced her to Deepak and move towards the stage. It's time to reveal what I planned as wedding gift for my dear husband.

"Ladies and gentlemen! May I have your attention please?", I announced through the microphone.

"First of all I would like to thank you all for your appearance in our celebration and a special thanks to Prisha for writing my story.

Story of an orphan girl. Well, that girl is no more an orphan. Now she have loving parents, caring Inlaws, supporting husband in her life.

The same girl who was the most hated in orphanage, the same girl who was tagged as a charity case in school, the same girl whose college life passed being alone with no traces of friends.

Then I made a choice. I decided to do MBA and since then my life started changing. I got a friend like Pihu, I got to meet my twin sister Sonia then Akash then my grandparents and this orphan remains no more an orphan.

Whenever I think about my past life I can't believe that I reached so far in my life and achieved the love of all these people.", I looked at Akash's eyes and continued.

"I can't believe! I came so far that soon I am going to give birth to a new life.", Finally I said it.

Akash furrowed his eyebrows confusedly. I smiled shyly and kept my palm over my tummy where a miniature of mine and Akash's part is growing.

Akash's eyes turned wide in realisation and his lips stretched widely. I nodded my head in approval and said,

"This is our wedding gift given by God to us. We are going to be parents soon."

The moment I said those words Akash rushed up to the stage and engulfed me in his tight embrace. Everyone started congratulating us once again.

The motive of celebration doubled with my pregnancy news. All the faces of my loved ones covered with smile.

What more can I wish for?

Thank you God. Thank you so much for all these happiness.
