Every Girl's Dream

“Thanks for the ice-cream abhay. But you didn’t tell me what’s so special about today that you’re giving me this treat”
“Sunakshi, I wanted to tell you something”
“Go on!! I’m all ears!! ”
“I’m in love!!”
“OH!” I stuffed the ice-cream into my mouth but that didn’t help much to hide my disappointment. I always liked abhay but never dared to tell him. And today he’s telling me that he’s in love!
“That’s awesome dude! Who’s the lucky girl haan???” I tease him trying to sound excited and happy for him. Pretty difficult when you know that you can’t but hate the ‘lucky gal’ !! Huh!!
“Well she’s really very beautiful, caring and sweet. And I’ll propose to her really soon”
“Hey. Now don’t increase the excitement. Tell me who she is! We’ve already reached your car. When are you going to tell?”
“Wait a sec here”
“Ok!! Now what are you doing in the car. Flowers?? For whom? Chocolates! Oh! I hope you’re not going to her directly from here”
“No! I’m already with her. All this is for you!”
He bends to his knees. Flowers and chocolates in one hand and my hand in the other. I just can’t believe this. A dream come true!! Wohooooooo…. CONTROL SHONA!!
“Are you serious? I mean.. This is.. Oh! I don’t know what to say”
“Please!! It’s my turn. SUNAKSHI, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY LIFE.. WILL YOU BE A PART OF MY LIFE SO THAT IT WONT FEEL SO NEGLECTED??”
I’m awestruck.. I can’t speak! Oh no! This cant be true.
“Abhay will you please pinch me once”
“I’ve something else to make you believe” and he kisses my hand. But that’s even more dream like isn’t it!
“OH MY!!”
“Well you owe me an answer”
I blush. As usual I turn red and smile to hide the blush.
“I LOVE YOU TOO ABHAY!!”
He stood up and hugged me tight and kissed my cheeks. Then we sat on the roadside with our ice creams and my chocolates obviously. Well I’ve always loved chocolates and he knew it pretty well.
For about 2 hours we sat there and talked about him and me and about ‘US’!!
That was the best moment of my life till he took me to our first date…
The phone rings and his photo blinks on the screen. I smile and pick up the call.
“Hey abhi. Its not been even an hour since we talked last!!”
“Hey shona! Listen to me! What are you doing tomorrow evening?”
“Nothing much. Why? You got any plans?”
“Well… yeah. Kind of!”
“Now now! Don’t start with this mysterious tone please”
“You’ll see for yourself tomorrow”
“I know you won’t tell me even if I beg. So I think I’ll have to wait for tomorrow”
“yeah! You got it right”
He reaches outside the office gate and blindfolds me. We drive for around half an hour and then he stops and escorts me out. We walk together. I feel the loose sand. Must be some ground or sea shore.
SEA SHORE!! BEACH!! Oh!
And then he went behind my back and opened the fold.
The sight in front of me made me skip a beat. We’re surely on a beach and what he had there was just so special. Golden red canopy net supported by candy like pillars. Lovely breeze rustling through the net strips. Few candles and a small cake sat on the carpet under the canopy along with a picnic basket. The beautiful set up looked over to the beach and the lovely sunset. He stood there in his best formals and with a guitar.
“Abhi.. This is so romantic. Oh! I love you so much.”
“I love you too shona. Now come on! Our cake’s waiting for us.”
We cut the cake and ate the sandwiches which he had made himself. Not so tasty but they were nice ;) and then he sang for me. He’s not a really good singer but I love his voice. I sat hugging him, facing the beach. He stroked my hair and it felt like heaven. Just pure love. I hugged him tight and he hugged me too. He held my face and kissed me.
“What a lovely combination na; you and me and the sunset and beachside”
“You always knew what I dreamt of. Didn’t you?”
“Yes I did. And you are my dream”
“No. I’m your reality!!”
We took a walk along the beach, arm in arm and then sat there, hugging each other and watching the waves till 4 in the morning. We talked about almost everything ranging from the beach to our lives, our dreams, aspirations, career and our life together!
Loving him was all I ever did after that day and even today he knows all my dreams and makes them come true before I can even say…..
This is what every girl dreams of…..
