~Mera Dil Tere Liye Dhadakta Hai~

-By Sonia

Sandhya sat on the balcony embracing the breeze with her mug of tea. Sooraj was out of town due to a delivery but her heart was with him because it was Valentine's Day. The time was nearing 6 pm and there was no sign of him at all. Her eyes were fixated on her phone screen just hoping for a phone call. Her eyes closed and she pictured Sooraj and the moments they spent together. Just then her phone rang, she opened her eyes in a flash to see it was him "Sooraj ji" the name and an image of him flashed on her phone. She picked it up and he spoke immediatly. "Meet me at the centre of Pushkar... dont ask me anything now Sandhya ji I will tell you when I get there!" as she was about to reply the phone was put down by Sooraj.

Sandhya wondered why he was calling her at this time but then there was a fear in her mind. She grabbed her purse and ran down the stairs. There was Bhabo and Bhabasa sitting in the aangan resting. "Sandhya beendhani where are you going at this time?!" Bhabo enquired. She looked at the clock and then at Bhabo. "Woh Bhabo... Sooraj ji rang and he told me to meet him in town he has some urgent work!" Bhabo looked confused but she didn't dwell upon it and let her go. Sandhya ran out of the house and caught a rickshaw to the centre of Pushkar.

*Centre of Pushkar*

Sooraj was waiting frantically he was wearing a tuxedo and was looking extremely smart. Sandhya arrived and his face lit up. She got off the rickshaw. Sooraj crept up behind her and put his hand over her mouth she jumped as she thought somebody was going to grab her. She tried to get herself out and she turned around with a fist about to hit Sooraj. She thought it was a kidnapper and then Sandhya was shocked her eyes fell on her love and she was speechless. "Sandhya ji I know you want to be an IPS officer but are you going to beat me up as well?!" he giggled and she her heartbeat was sky high. She burst into laughter. "Sooraj ji you? You scared me!" Sooraj pulled her closer and her arm landed on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her waist and gripped it with force. She blushed and noticed what Sooraj was wearing. Her eyes lowered as she was amazed at how good he looks in the suit and also she was intoxicated by his perfume. "Sandhya ji if my wife is a Sherni I also have to become a sher to look good with you!" Sandhya was amazed at her dialogues. He hugged her and they formed a strong hug. She smiled and separated the hug after a few minutes. "Sooraj ji why are you wearing a suit? You were here for a delivery?!" he wanted to say why but he wanted to maintain the surprise. "Woh Sandhya ji actually they wanted me to serve the food as well and they wanted me to feel a part of the family so I decided to wear a suit. Also, they are celebrating something else with the family I dont know what it is.!" Sandhya's eyes popped out she felt as if Sooraj ji knew. "Sooraj ji its Valentine's Day!" Sandhya hinted towards it. "Oh yeah that was it... it's just an excuse to celebrate... nowadays there are so many such pointless celebrations!" he raised his eye brows. Sandhya was extremely shocked and she had lost hope on Sooraj saying Happy Valentine's Day. 

"Sandhya ji we have to go and get a few things from one of the rooms in the hotel can you please come and help me?!" Sandhya disheartened agreed and they went up in the hotel. Sooraj waited at the receptionist and then at the owner. They looked at him whilst Sandhya walked ahead. He winked at them and they showed him thumbs up. Sandhya turned around in a split second and Sooraj shot down to the floor pretending to adjust his shoe lace. He stood up and they went to the highest floor it was called the "Valentine Suite" Sandhya felt a jerk in her heart and she felt as if he knew it was Valentine's Day. Sooraj took the swipe card. "The boxes are in here full of plates and food... this room is not being used. Sandhya was again worried but there was a little hope in her heart. Sooraj opened the door and the lights dimmed, Sandhya couldn't see anything. Just then as she stepped ahead the lights turned on and there were roses that fell on her head from the entrance. She looked up and smiled like she had never done in her life. He slowly closed the door. There were swaying red and white curtains and a candle lit room. Sandhya was amazed at Sooraj and the way he hid it from her.

Sandhya walked around the room to see the whole room was decorated and there were a series of images of the two of them. She looked at him and her eyes got teary. Sooraj couldn't see her tears and he went over to her and wiped them. "Never let these tears fall these are precious to me truly!" He wiped the remaining tears and cupped her cheek.

"Sandhya you have made every moment of my life special!" she fell straight in his arms. He bought her forward and she felt his touch. She blushed at his stare and moved away from him. But Sooraj gripped her little finger with his and their hands slowly interlocked like their hearts. He forcefully pulled her back and her arms wrapped around Sooraj's neck. Sooraj closely traced her every move. Their faces were inches away, their breaths contracting, two souls about to join for eternity. Sandhya looked to the side as she couldn't handle his hotness. He moved her hair towards the side and neared her neck. He kissed the left side of her neck and trailed all the way round leaving Sandhya speechless. She made him stop and their eyes met.

She could feel the passion, the love for her in his brown eyes. She couldn't stop herself from staying away from him. Sooraj moved towards both her cheeks and kissed both of them. He then looked at her luscious pink lips and decided to interlock his with hers he kissed her once.

He didn't hesitate and he got down on one knee. Sandhya was perplexed. He held her right hand and kissed it gently. "Sandhya ji I want to tell you one thing we have not had a perfect marriage but we have had some special moments that I will always cherish till the day I die.." Sandhya put her hand over his mouth and shook her head. "Sandhya ji you know when Bhabo told me to get married I was not interested all I wanted to do was work for my family and that's it . People say marriages are made in heaven and I believe that truly after all opposites attract! Now I know that you are my reason for waking up in the morning. I thank God and pray to Him every night for sending you to me. Everything I have done right and wrong in life I would do it all over again as long as my life and love ended back into your arms and the glorious presence of your smile. You are a falling angel from the heavens - I am so glad I caught you with my arms. You are my life, my soul, my love, my everything.
When I hear your voice my heart stops. And ever since we met, my heart has been beating far more rapidly. Just to have you as mine and be with you is more then I could ask for. My whole life I thought my perfect love was only my dream, but now that I have found you I can end my search. He finally pulled out a box with a pendant and a chain. It was the same one that Sandhya bought with her brother when they first met in the jewellers.

Sandhya's eyes widened as she remembered those moments. "Sandhya ji when you bought this with Ankur sa I was there too and I bought the same one as you for...!" he stopped and he remembered that moment because it was for Kavita. Sandhya held his hand and bought him standing. He smiled and put it round Sandhya's neck. Sandhya felt it and she felt proud. She hugged Sooraj. "I love you Sooraj ji!" she said those three words. He was ecstatic "I love you too!" Sooraj held her hand. He eyed the box that he nearly forgot about. "Sandhya ji one more thing!" the breeze picked up and brushed through their hair. "I have bought you this... and I really want you to wear this now!" Sandhya looked at Sooraj. "Sooraj ji so many presents and I haven't bought you anything!" she opened it and it was red chiffon sari. Sandhya blushed and looked at Sooraj ji. "Sooraj ji how can I?!" she blushed. Sooraj held her. "Wont you listen to me today?!" he pulled an innocent face. She finally agreed and went into the bathroom. She came out after 10 minutes leaving Sooraj speechless.
