A Surprise

Khushi's POV:

Shajan hugged and kissed me.

"You are getting late to the office. So please get ready and come down," I said.

"Ok but let's have breakfast together from today," Shajan said.

I smiled as that had been my dream from the day I married Shajan. We had breakfast together and he praised the food prepared by me. He never appreciated the food though he loved to eat the food cooked by me because of his anger.

"I am leaving to the office," Shajan said.

"Ok, bye," I said.

"I said I'm leaving," Shajan said again, and I didn't understand why he was repeating it several times.

Shajan hit his head and then, hugged me from the back and whispered in my ears.

"I won't go without taking my gift," Shajan said.

"Which gift?" I asked.

"Hug and kiss from you," Shajan said making me blushed.

"I am getting late."

I turned towards him. I hugged him and gave a kiss on his forehead.

"So, now it's my turn."

I turned back and Shajan hugged me again.

"I never imagined that Shajan is this romantic."

"It's all your fault, sweetheart. You are the one who spoiled and changed me like this. I can't stop me from loving you."

I smiled and Shajan removed the hairs falling on my cheeks and kissed me before leaving to the office.

I went out and came to home late. The door was unlocked and Shajan came home.

"Khushi, where were you until now?" Shajan said.

"You came so early," I said.

"Yes, but where were you?" Shajan said.

"You didn't say that you are coming home for lunch today?"

"I didn't plan it. My work was completed and there are no meetings for the day. So, I came home," Shajan said.

"I am sorry. I will set the table for lunch," I said.

"I asked you where you were."

I didn't reply and Shajan looked at me with a bit of seriousness.

"You look so dull and tired. Why didn't you go in a car or on a scooter?" Shajan said.

"I just went to a nearby park. So, I didn't find it's necessary to take car with me."

I sat on the sofa and was in my thoughts.

"Khushi, are you ok? I need some coffee. Can you please it for me," Shajan said but I didn't reply him.

Shajan went to the kitchen and came out with coffee for both of us. Shajan put the cup of coffee on the teapoy.

"Khushi, have this coffee. Your tiredness will go off."

"Taste the coffee prepared by me," Shajan said. I took coffee and sipped it calmly.

"I am a bit tired. I feel sleepy. If you have your lunch, I will take a rest," I said.

I stood up to go the kitchen but Shajan caught my hand.

"What happened to you?" Shajan said.

"Nothing."

"Khushi, I don't like you to hide anything from me. I am not asking this with my authority. Asking you because if you tell the reason, I will solve your problem and make you happy. Tell me."

"Nothing. I am really tired. Nothing more than that."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded and served him lunch.

"You too have your lunch, Khushi."

"I am not hungry now."

Shajan looked at me seriously.

"Ok, I will have my lunch with you."

"Skipping meals is not good for the health. Don't you know this Doctor?

I had the meals silently. I went to the room after completing the work.

"Khushi, we are going to some place in the evening. Be ready."

In the evening, Shajan took me to his farm house. He closed my eyes with his hands and took me to a room. He removed his hands over my eyes and I was surprised to see the decoration of the room. It was decorated with my photos from childhood to until now. He clapped and the petals of the rose fell on me from the roof.

Shajan took me to another room. It was decorated with the candles. He took me to the table and asked me to sit by pulling the chair. I sat and Shajan sat in front of me. I opened the lid of the dishes placed on the table.

"It's your favorite Shahi Paneer. Am I right that it's your favorite?"

"Yes. So you still remember my likes."

"Of course because I love you," Shajan said.

I smiled and we had dinner. I went to the room decorated with my photos. Shajan sat on the bed and pulled me towards him. I fell on him. He hugged me and looked at my eyes.

"You look so beautiful today."

I tried to turn my face feeling shy but Shajan made me to see into his eyes.

"Do you like this surprise?"

"A lot," I said happily.

"I will do anything for your smile. But you should never be sad. I can't see you dull and upset. I am there for you to solve anything. I just need your happiness."

Saying this Shajan kissed me. I hugged him and tried to hide my tears. I am happy for his love but sad too. Shajan understood my feelings.

"Do you miss your family?"

No, because you are my family. When you are with me why would I miss my family," I said.

Shajan cupped my face and wiped my tears.

"Do you miss your parents and sisters?"

I hugged him. Shajan caressed my hairs and consoled her.

"So is this the reason for your dullness?"

"How do you know?"

"I can understand you, dear. But why didn't you tell me? Do you think that I will feel bad for making you away from your parents?"

I didn't understand what to say.

"Don't worry. I will take you to your parents tomorrow.

"But they will be angry with us."

"I will tell them the reason behind you marrying me."

"Then, they will be angry with you."

"I can bear anything for you. Now leave all this. I will set everything right. Now please smile."

I smiled and hugged Shajan. I slept happily in his arms remembering his love and Shajan smiled seeing my happiness.
