SURPRISE!!!

*

“It is really beautiful” She told with her palm on the glass window while looking at the breathtaking, snow covered morning view of Shimla.

“Hmm” He hummed as he hugged her from behind while planting a kiss on her shoulder. She shivered as she curled her fingers which were straight on the window.

She turned to him with a blushy smile and there he felt his heart stop for a fine second. Even with those messy hairs and tired face, she still managed to carry a glow on her face, the glow of his love. She looked beautifully and amazingly his, in all sense.

“I love you” He whispered to her as that was the only words that could convey his feelings.

She smiled as she kept her head on his bare chest.

“What is the story behind this tattoo?” She asked trailing her index finger on the intricately designed letters AS on his chest.

“It was actually for, Aditya, Arnav and shivaay. Those two As together and my S but now we can take it as Anika Shivaay” He told with a smile.

“Keep it as that itself. Anika has a place this side forever and that's enough for me” She told pointing at the left side of his chest where she had kept her head on.

“Why didn't you make it this side? Usually people do tattoo on left side right?” She asked confused.

“Left side is where heart is there. I was kind of scared if something will happen to me if I do it directly on heart” He told and she chuckled.

They were silent for a long moment.

“Waise now you're an expert in kissing” He told and she blushed.

“Credit goes to my professor” She told with a blushy smile.

“Only credit? Won't you give me any gift?” He asked and a serene smile formed on her lips.

“Didn't I give your gift yesterday” She asked softly.

“What did you give me?” He asked and she smiled as she remembered the previous night.

“What do you want?” He asked as she was drying her hair with towel.

“I'm not feeling hungry” She told as she turned to him.

“Even I'm not”

“Then don't order anything” She told and sat near him as she kept her head on his chest encircling her arms around his waist.

“Even from the flight, you kept holding me like this” He told and she smiled.

“Because I like hearing your heartbeats. Dhak dhak—dhak dhak” She told with a smile.

“Shiv” She whispered and her smile widened as his heartbeats took pace.

“Does these beats say I love you Anika?” She asked and he smiled.

“May be” He told and she raised her head to look at him.

“Why aren't you sure? It's your heart right” She asked.

“You stole it from me so you must be knowing” He told and she blushed.

“I'm done controlling” He told before pulling her towards him and kissing her taking her in for suprise. That was the definition for a passionate kiss according to her. Slow at first and fast the next moment.

Breaking apart being breathless, they pressed their foreheads against each other breathing heavily.

“I'll not stop” His voice was deep.

“Don't” She told him back or in a better way, her passionate self which managed to overcome her innocent self told.

She was on the bed with him hovering over her the next moment and what she saw in his eyes was something she could never fathom. His eyes bore into her soul and she closed her eyes not able to handle the fire in his eyes.

He kissed her eyelids before whispering in her ear to open her eyes and she felt paralysed all of a sudden with that voice of his. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt herself burning, burning in the passion that reflected from his eyes.

He delicately kissed every inch of her face while she tried to breathe normally with all the sensations she felt in her body. As his lips traversed down towards her neck and further to her shoulder while pulling down the cloth of her kurti, she felt her heart beat rapidly. His fingers moved in through the slits of her kurti as she felt her breath getting shorter. She never imagined he was capable of making her shiver under him like a thin leaf.

He kissed up her throat and she gulped hard and there she felt the curve of his lips on her throat bringing a smile on her face unknowingly. Kissing her chin, he trailed his lips up her ear as he nibbled the soft skin of her ear bringing about a whole zoo in her tummy.

“I love you” He whispered in her ear but she didn't hear it through her ear this time, she heard it through her heart and that's when she felt it. The warm feeling called love. Each beat of her heart uttered those words, the way her body reacted to his touch uttered those words and it was in her all along without her realisation. If not love, then what was the strong feeling she felt towards him that moment? It was definitely love.

A smile spread across her lips as she felt him kiss her mangalsutra, the sacred thread that bonded them together.

Every inch of her body witnessed his love and every single time, he confessed his love, she loved him a little more. Every single time he kissed her, he kissed her soul and heart. She fell in love with the way he loved her.

“I love you” He whispered for the nth time and she raised her head slightly to look at him.

He smiled and she felt relief and serenity wash over her. Her eyes told him how much she loved him.

“Isn't it wrong?” She asked and he raised his eyebrows.

“To stare at a lady, just like you're doing now?” She asked with a playful smile.

“When the said lady is standing in front of me wearing my shirt, I don't think there's anything wrong in it” He told making her blush.

“Have I ever told you? this blush that comes on your face because of me, is my favorite” He told and she smiled as she kept her head back on his chest.

“How come you woke up this early?” He asked teasingly.

“I was awake all night looking at the way you sleep” She told softly.

“What?” He asked surprised and she nodded.

“You took my name occasionally and I kept smiling like an idiot looking at you” She told blushing and he smiled.

“At some moment, I whispered something to you and you smiled in your sleep. I thought you were awake and heard it but you were in deep sleep. Do you know what was it?” She asked softly.

“I love you Shiv. Am I right?” He asked and she gasped.

“You heard it?” She asked shocked.

“I didn't but I knew it. Though you didn't say it in words, your eyes kept saying that to me yesterday” He told and she smiled as her eyes brimmed up with tears.

“Isn't it too soon that we fell in love?” She asked and he chuckled.

“Twenty six years is not a small period of time” He told.

“What do you mean?” She asked confused.

“Can you tell me the exact time you fell in love with me?” He asked and she thought for sometime.

“I don't know. It just happened. I think I was in love with you for a long time and just realised it yesterday” She told.

“In my case too. It might have happened long back. I might have fell in love the moment I took you in my arms or the moment you opened your eyes to look at me or the moment you held her finger. I don't know exactly when but I realised it after I started seeing you as my wife” He told and she smiled faintly.

“When two people meet at a point of life and feel the connection, that's called falling in love. Don't you think we fell in love long back? We met from the time you were born. May be because we were kids, we didn't know how to name that connection. We named it wrong and believed that was right. When the right time came, we realised that that belief was wrong and named it rightly as love” He told and she realized that he was correct.

“This is why I trust you so much. I know you have the solution to all my problems” She told and he chuckled.

“Do you realise? Our names are connected too. Shivaay and Anika means Shiv-Parvati” She told and he smiled.

“We seriously have a twisted tale of love” He told and she nodded with a smile.

They were silent for a long moment when she slightly raised her head to look at him.

“I love you Shiv” She whispered and he kissed her head.

“I love you too” He whispered back as that moment, he truly felt his heart exploding.

“Listen——” Before she could continue, he pressed her the window and kissed her pinning both her arms on it, not letting her do anything.

“What the hell!” She told once he pulled back and he grinned.

“If you call me listen again, this is your punishment” He told grinning and she hit his chest.

“Then I'll call you bhaiyya?” She asked with a mischievous smile and he tickled her making her laugh out loud.

“You'll call me bhaiyya?” He asked and she shook her head as she laughed hard.

“What will you call me then?” He asked as he carried her in his arms and she smiled as she kept her arms around his neck.

“Shiv” She told kissing his cheek.

“What?”

“Shiv” She told with a wide smile.

“What?

“Shiv” She shouted in his ear and he chuckled as he placed her on the bed and hovered over her.

“What?”

“My Shiv” She whispered as he joined their foreheads together while she closed her eyes.
