It was my birthday eve and I was pretending to sleep. My eyes were closed but my senses were picking up clues of my husband waiting for our clock to strike 12 o clock. Surprise he wakes me up with a kiss “Happy Birthday, love. Look what I have got for you!” He turns me around towards the other side of the room where lay the Black forest with its candle lit to brighten up our souls. The laptop plays the wishes song and he claps to sing along. I cut the first piece out, doge it near his mouth and then eat it all myself. With lovable fury he avenges, with his piece over my face and there love starts to game. Minutes pass by, and we decide to hit the sack for I know it will be a long day tomorrow. While he takes a warm shower, I end cleaning the room. “It’s getting late for me; you need to come out fast” I shout at the sight of my clock ticking 1.00 am. “Well baby, it wouldn’t be late and we can save up also some water, if only…” am dragged all in!
Day breaks in and at serve of morning green tea, he tells about his plans to stay home. Trying to capitalize the best of this day, I think of the variety foods that can be served at the Kings royal table. Starting from soup, starters, main course and dessert I sketch out the groceries that were to be bought. While he watched “pirates of Caribbean” with the green tea running cold; I drive out to shop – still thinking what best could I do to make the day memorable. After close to two hours I step back into our palace to see him still watching another chapter of the Jack Sparrow. With sigh I start cleaning the meat and within no time he follows to slice down the vegetables. Somehow he always loves to help me out in the dishes and I let him be happy in doing what he does the best. Cooking together gets so much of a fun than a chore by itself. Every dish gets its unique ingredient of love; the flavor of happiness; the taste of romance…A bright scorching ray of sunlight!!!
The messy bedroom screen is pulled out by my maid and there I woke up laughing my dream away.….
