Birthday surprise
Dharani POV
************
Bright sunlight hit my face. I opened my eyes slowly and turned to my left side to see my husband but he is not here. Where did he go early in the morning? He never wakes up this early.
I blinked my eyes before sitting up on the bed trying to come out of my sleepy mood. I looked around the room and my eyes widened in surprise to see the room decorated with candles and red roses.
I'm surprised when I found a red rose with a letter under it. I bent to it and stretched my hand to pick up the rose and the letter to read it. I held the rose and opened the letter to read.
Angel, you are the only person for whom I can forget all the pains and sorrows of my life. You mean a lot to me in my life. Your presence in my life has made it colorful and given it a new dimension. It seems that without your presence the worth of my life would have been nothing. My love has five senses: you can see it, touch it, feel it, smell it and even taste it. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this world so beautiful for me. I would have been lost without you. Thanks for coming into the world and my life Angel.
Wishing you a very happy birthday.
Happy tears were flowing down my cheeks. I have never celebrated my birthday since my parent's death. In fact I totally forgot that today is my birthday.
I went to washroom to get ready. I saw another letter with a rose. I opened the letter to read.
I have planned to celebrate your birthday in an amazing way. I'm sure you'll be surprised to see them.
There are some dresses for you in the closet. Please wear the gold saree today and the matching jewellery also, please Angel.
Get ready and come fast Angel
Love you,
-Akash
I smiled and got ready. Its beautiful gold stone work saree with matching accessories.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I went and opened it.
There he stood, in his blue suit looking handsome as always. My eyes met his. He is looking at me too. I instantly averted my gaze and looked down at my hands.
"Happy birthday to you, Angel" he said and kissed my forehead, I blushed.
"Come on" he said, giving me his hand to take.
I hesitated to take it. "Please, Angel, let me hold your hand", he said pleadingly, and I can't ignore his pleading, so I put my hand in his. He placed a kiss on the back of my knuckles, making me blush.
"You are looking so beautiful, Angel,", he said and I can't stop the blush that crept up my face again.
He led me to the stairs. My mouth opened in shock once I saw the steps full of balloons and rose petals scattered. I looked back at Akash and found him smiling. I almost melted.
Control Dharani, Control don't easily give in.
He led me to the middle of the room. I know Akash's house is very big, in fact I never saw the whole house. We walked to the elevator. WOW! He has an elevator in this house? I never noticed it before. A soothing and relaxing air of peace hit me in my face, calming down my curiosity which was at its highest level. There was something magical and unique in the air. We walked ahead in complete silence, strolling down the corridor at the right through door.
"Please open the door Angel" he said.
I hesitated and opened the door. My mouth fell hang!
OMG! I took a deep breath in and out because a whole new mini world of shopping mall was stuffed in the room.
I looked around to find myself standing inside the room with wide eyes. There were big pictures of my wedding attire.
This room had a huge white couches in the corner which was filled with 5 giant big teddy bears.
And other side contained a baby pink table filled with a girls stuffs and make up accessories.
I turned to my right and a small gasp left my lips. When I saw the closet I walked and opened the door, there was a big closet with 6 big doors. I opened the first one and was shocked because it was full of saree's with heavy embroidery.
Then I opened the second one; it was full with lehenga choli sarees with little embroidery.
I opened the third one and it was full of salwar suits.
I opened the fourth one, It's full of it's my favorite, traditional silk saree.
I opened the fifth one to find pretty and cute party wear and short dress.
At last I open the fifth one and there was matching shoe pairs and purse for each dresses.
I saw three drawers and on the other side, there was a small cupboard and a big mirror. I opened the cupboard to find lots of boxes. They contained stunning jewelries and gold necklace.
Then I opened the big one to find gold bangles for each saree.
I then moved towards the drawers. I opened the large box. There was gold and pearl earrings. It had hangers and trolleys full of clothes and jewelry on the side.
Is this a room or a shop or more like a shopping mall? It was like a whole shop store in there, each of the dresses neatly hung in the shelves in the room.
The room had everything a girl could ask for and it was surprisingly, that the girl was me. Akash Mehra's wife, no the billionaire's wife!
"Angel, you liked it?" Akash's voice broke my thoughts.
"You know what Akash? If you just give me a single rose, I will be happy. I am not some gold digger, so please don't disrespect me by giving me these type of gifts" I said to him with tears in my eyes. I remembered him calling me a gold digger.
"I know Angel, you are not gold digger. Don't ever say that. I know you like simplicity in everything and Angel, I will never disrespect you. It's just that I want to put the whole world under your feet without you asking me. I know how your tauji treated you since your childhood. Angel, tell me one thing, if your dad was alive and would gift these to you, then you will say same thing to him "don't disrespect me dad giving this type of gifts to me?"
The answer is no right? Then why are you thinking that I'm disrespecting my wife by gifting her? Its my style of showing my love for you. That's it Angel, please don't get me wrong." Tears formed in his eyes.
God! I felt very terrible for making him cry on my birthday. He took a lot of effort for my birthday and my surprises. I know he is a billionaire and obviously he thinks like a billionaire. And he is right, if my father was alive and gifted me this luxury gift, I would have happily accepted it. Now I can understand his feelings and words.
"I.. I am so....sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you" I said stammering.
Akash sighed. "Please don't tell sorry Angel, its not your fault. Its my past deeds that is making you think very low of me. I can understand but angel please, Atleast for today, please forget my past action. Just one day, I want to make you happy, please" he pleaded.
"Ok Akash, I will try" I said to him and he got relaxed.
"So Angel, did you you like my arrangements?" he said with hope in his eyes.
God, how can I ignore that pleading look?
"Its amazing Akash. No one ever did something like to me. Thanks but Akash, I want to inform you that I never had a luxury lifestyle. I want a simple life" I said and he smiled widely.
"I know my Angel likes simplicity in everything but Angel, soon I am going to corrupt you with my love" he winked at me.
God! This man uff!!
"Angel, surprise is still remaining" he said to me.
"Come, we have to go somewhere." He tugged my hand gently with a smile. I gave him a confused look.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"You can see it yourself" he said and took me to a car.
I think this is going to be a long day.
Akash was driving and after 2 hours of journey Akash finally stopped the car in some place. He came near me and opened the door for me.
Akash didn't said anything and asked for my hand. I gave him my hand and came out of the car. I was shocked to see the whole place decorated with lanterns and balloons. There was a table for one which was decorated with rose petals. There was a big building in front of me.
"Angel, wait here for a minute" he said and went away. I saw him disappear and I stood there waiting for him. It's been five minutes and he wasn't here, so I decided to look for him. Suddenly I heard some kids singing. I turned to look at them and they are singing looking at me. I looked behind me to see if I am mistaken, but no.
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear Dharani Didi
Happy Birthday to You.
From good friends and true,
From old friends and new,
May good luck go with you,
And happiness too.
The kids are singing with a smile on their cute faces. They were holding roses. Everyone is watching while I had tears in my eyes. When the song ended, a lot of balloons flew into the sky.
Some kids were holding cardboard charts.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DHARANI
Its written on the charts with big letters. Did Akash do all this for me? All the kids ran to me and gave me roses. I am sure tears are flowing down my cheeks right now. Then I looked up and found Akash coming back.
I read the building name.
"SHARADHA ORPHANAGE"
Oh my God, This is Akash mom's name, so this is Akash's orphanage. He runs an orphanage? I was shocked.
"Did you like the surprise Angel?" he asked me smiling.
"Not like Akash, I loved it" I said smiling happily.
Then we entered the home. We enjoyed lot. This is the first time I am smiling genuinely. All thanks to Akash. Now its 6:00pm.
We were playing with the kids when they suddenly insisted Akash to sing. I was shocked, does Akash sing?
"Please brother, sing a song for sister" a cute little boy insist Akash.
"Ok" Akash said. I never saw this carefree side of Akash.
"Angel, this song dedicated for you" he said looking at me.
He took guitar and started singing.
She came like the Angel in heaven
When I see, I feel like keep staring at her
Feel like kissing her lips
When she smile like a flower
Feel like flying, like the wind
Go and tell her my love
My heart pleads
She is a Goddess
Will entire life be enough to appreciate her beautiful face
Her scent is in the air
Are the flowers blooming with her thoughts in their mind
Seeing the strand of hair waving on her forehead
Lightning strikes in my heart
One look will make my legs go loose
Seeing her cheeks, I feel like kissing them
Seeing her feet, I dream of becoming her anklets
When I see her, she will have me tied to her by doe eyes.
She cut me without any pain
She plucked my heart like a flower
Akash sings so well! The song ended when the kids started clapping their hands happily. I can't even describe how I feel now. Its like I am dreaming. I still cannot believe that its the same Akash who tortured me in past without my mistake.
"Come on kids, now we will make didi cut the cake" Akash said breaking my thoughts. Then there was a huge cake in his hands.
Akash handed me a knife. I blow off the candle and cut the cake. I gave the first bite to him. He really got surprised for my gesture. Then I cut equal sized pieces and fed the the kids. There was still half the cake left. I handed everyone a piece of cake and we immediately start digging in. I am never going to forgot this birthday in my life. When it was very late, we bid bye to the orphanage kids. I turned back to find Akash coming to me.
"This is a special day for me, thank you" I said smiling. He smiled back a little.
"You are welcome Angel. Now come on. There is a long day ahead and I want to show you another surprise" he said as he held my hand and intervened our fingers.
Another surprise?
Oh god!I think by the end of my birthday, I will go fainting.
