Chapter - 7

Meera got call from Aarav, she picked up with smile, "Good morning Aarav" she greeted. "Happy birthday Meera" Aarav's reply reminded her that was her birthday. "Hey thank you man, I totally forgot about that" she replied with smile. "How painful it is to forget their own birthday. Why you are facing all these struggles Meera?" he thought in his mind.

"Aarav, Are you there?" Her voice brought him back to the presence. "Yes yes. How is Krithi?" He asked. "She is fine and now sleeping peacefully" she said with smile. "Ok Meera, then see you in office. Once again happy birthday" he said and ended the call.

Meera went to temple before going to her office. She prayed for Krithi and reached office. Aditi hugged her once she entered and wished her happy birthday. Meera thanked her with a smile. All her colleagues wished her and they had a small birthday celebration, Aarav too joined the celebration. Meera thanked everyone and continued with her work.

Evening, she reached her home and was surprised to see the arrangement. She smiled and Krithi came to her and wished her happy birthday. Meera kissed her cheeks. "Me and Kamala ma made these decorations for your birthday" she said happily. "Its very beautiful baby" she said kissing her cheeks. By the time Kamala came with her daughter, Meera got her blessings from Kamala. Kamala wished her wholeheartedly.

She cut the cake and everyone celebrated it with happiness. Meera accepted all their love with a smile. Kamala and her daughter left around 11. Meera asked them to take care. She came back to room and saw Krithi sleeping tiredly. She carried her to their room, made her to sleep comfortable on bed, changed her dress and lied next to her reminiscing the past.

Meera's PoV:

"It was my birthday today. He will definitely have some surprises but I too should do something" I thought doing some work in kitchen. "But why he didn't wish me at 12. Very first year he took me out at 12 and made that night beautiful. But this year he is still sleeping. Did he forget my birthday?" several questions raised in my mind but I ignored that thoughts and went upstairs to wake him up.

I found him sleeping peacefully and caressed his hair. "Krish its late, wake up and get ready to office" I said by waking him up. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the watch. "Hey it's too late. I have a meeting today" he said hurriedly rushing inside the wash room. He came out in fifteen minutes and got ready in formals. "Okay Meera. Take care, will call you once the meeting is over" he said in hurry. "Breakfast?" I asked hesitatingly. "I'll have it with clients. No worries" he said kissing my forehead and left the home.

I looked at the direction he left and felt sad since he forgot my birthday and more than that he skipped his breakfast. Everyone wished me except the one I truly want to hear. The whole day went very slowly and I slept without my concern on the couch while watching TV.

I woke up with a jerk when someone carried me in his arm and was relaxed once seeing his face. He took me upstairs and dropped me in our room. "Meera get ready soon. We have to attend a party and it's very important since one of our major client is hosting this party" he said hurriedly. I nodded sadly and headed towards the rest room.

He gave me a party wear and asked to wear that tonight for party. I looked at the dress and his face. "What?!" He asked. "I don't wanna wear this" I said hesitatingly. "Nothing is wrong. Please wear it dear" he said in pleading tone which I couldn't resist. I got ready in the dress he presented but was not comfortable. I applied lite makeup and checked my look once, it was good but the dress was not comfortable to party, I thought and came down. He looked me like eating me alive which made me blush hard. I lowered my gaze and walked towards him.

"Krishna, I'm not comfortable wearing this dress" I said when I was near him. "Come let's go" he said without minding my words which made me sad. I sat in car with a sad face. He smiled looking at me and started the car and stopped it after half an hour. I looked outside but couldn't find any one there and looked him confusingly. "Come come let's go. Its getting late" he dragged me from the car. "Did he gone mad" I mentally scold him and followed him silently. Suddenly he stopped and closed my eyes by his fingers. "Krishna what are you doing?" I asked with confusion. "Wait for few minutes darling" he said without removing his hold.

Finally we reached the destination and he removed his hand from my eyes, I was astonished once I saw the place which made me speechless and I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was a beautiful tree house. The house was built between two trees and it's sight made me thunderstruck. It was glowing with light decorations which made its look more beautiful. I always wished to visit a tree house but never thought it will happen on my birthday. I hugged him tight in excitement. "Happy birthday my world" he whispered in my ears. Finally my ears were blessed with the words which I was longing to hear from the morning.

At that time, I badly wanted to kiss him so kissed his cheeks deeply to show how happy I was. He lifted me in his arms and took inside the house. Entire house was decorated with beautiful lights and adorable paintings. I had no words to explain its beauty. He took me to the table which was arranged for dinner and made me sit on the chair. I was really amazed to see all my favorite dishes. He fed me with his hands, I ate silently admiring his cute face. He made me feel like a princess. "I thought you forgot my birthday" I said slowly what was in my mind since morning.

He smiled and replied "no dear, I will never forget anything regarding you in my life. How can I forget this day when my angel came to this earth. I just wanna surprise you. So I acted like I forgot your birthday and whole day I was here making all these arrangements" he said with wink. At the moment I felt like I'm the happiest person in the world and I couldn’t wait anymore and kissed him lovingly, he smiled against my lips.

After few minutes he broke the kiss and looked me with a smile. "You are looking so beautiful in this dress Meera and you know what… it's making me tough to keep quiet" he said kissing my earlobes which threw shiver down my spine. "Ahh, he is really a magic, I'm turning crazy nowadays. His one touch is enough for melting me completely" I thought.

"But you said this dress is not comfortable. If you felt so, you can change it" he said with grin which brought me back to the world. "Dear hubby, I'm always comfortable around you. I said it will be uncomfortable for the party" I said with a wink putting my arms around his neck.

He sat in front of me and presented a beautiful jewellery. I liked that and accepted with a smile but what he did next surprised me a lot. He gave a basket and asked to open it. I opened the basket and found a small kitten. "Oh my god. How cute it is!!" I screamed in happiness. It looked so cute, I kissed it lovingly.

I'm happy cuddling the pussy and turned to see my husband who gave this hearty gift which I loved a lot. But what I saw made me more shock. Tears in his eyes.

"Krishna, what happened?" I asked holding his face in my hand. "I love you" he said sincerely looking into my eyes. "I love you too" I said placing my forehead on his and wiped his tears. "Hereafter I should never see this tears" I said strictly. "As you say your honor and I think we should make these arrangements more romantic. So..." He said with a naughty smile.

Idiot, he is making me shy always. It was two years since we got married but whenever he talks romantically my heart will flutter like hearing it for first time, I bent my eyes because of shyness. He stood up and turned on the music and asked my hands for dance. I gave my hand happily and we both were lost in each other along with the music.

He kissed me passionately and he was everywhere up on my back and over my arms and suddenly he kissed me harder, deeper, with a fervent urgent need which I understood clearly and I too accepted his desire by encircling my arms around him and kissing him back with same passion. We both were lost in each other's eyes and he lifted me softly like a flower and made me sit on the bed. I felt nervous and bit my lower lips to control the nervousness.

I really felt that his love for me increased every day and his every action resembled it. After a very long adorable romantic night, he slept peacefully like a kid hugging me tight like his favorite possession. But for me sleep was too long because of overwhelming happiness. I could see nothing around me and only felt his whole warmth. I looked at his face, he had a beautiful smile on his face. I couldn't stop starring at him. I saw my soul within him.

My hands reached his face, caressed his forehead and played with his hair which was on his forehead. "You made me complete Krishna. My life won't be fulfilled without you. Right now, I'm feeling heaven in your arms. I will love you unconditionally all my life. I truly wonder how it is possible that I have ever felt sorrow and you radiate everything that brings joy and peace in me. You made my Unrequited love into a heavenly unconditional love" I said slowly looking at his cute face.

A loud thunder brought her back to the present world. She sat up on the bed and felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't control the overflowing tears. She wiped it off and went near the windows. She looked at the dark sky which indicated her life without him. Whole day she got several wishes but her heart longed for him and her parents, she wiped the tears and simply starred the darkness.
