chapter 9

It was quite late by the time Jay reached home. He slowly opened the door with the key. It was full dark inside, "looks like everybody slept off," He switched on the lights, removed his shoes, kept laptop bag in the corner and then sat on sofa, "husshhhhh.....really hectic day. sighhhhh."He bent forward to take water from the jar, kept on the center table and noticed an envelope. With  curiosity, he took the envelope in his hand,"To Jay, Open with big, big and big Smile :) "'. He smiled, not that big as the envelope expected but definitely bigger than his usual smile.He opened the envelope and saw a beautiful greeting card. It had a big beautiful rainbow on its cover. Jay kept the envelope on the table and opened the card,"Dear Jay,      Surprised?? 😦 I am sure you are!!!! 😆😊  I know you are not a person who expresses emotions easily. Yes, we understand each other so well without saying much, but I believe, sometimes it is important to show what we feel for each other. It makes life sweeter, and you like sweets right?? :D. Anyways, I will never leave a chance to let you know how special and important you are to me. Yes you are..You are special!!! you are so so important!!!  You have changed my life in a positive way!!!You have filled colors in my life just like this rainbow!!!Thank you so much for entering into my life!!!Thank you for being there with me!!!This is just a beginning and I promise our life will be full of such lovely surprises... !!!So be ready for that..ok???   😉😊😍                                                         - with love  💗,                                                                Mita"Jay was quite emotional while reading this message. He kept staring at the card for some time. Then he smiled remembering something.."Oh Mita...why are you like this ...so sweet, so innocent..so pure..."and then he noticed a dairy milk kept on the table.."You know me so well..!!!" He smiled again.Then he took the phone in his hand and messaged her,"Thanks for the surprise. Loved it and love you!! 😘". He waited for some time but no response..."Looks like she slept...must be tired.. after all she works so hard, in the office and at home too.. ..takes care of everyone....My super woman.." Thinking about all loving memories he dozed off.Next morning, Nitin came to the living room as soon as he woke up and noticed that Jay was  sleeping on the sofa. He slowly came forward, saw a greeting card and chocolate wrapper on Jay's chest. Then he quickly ran to his room, took his mobile, came back to the living room and clicked Jay's pic. He zoomed in on the pic and giggled. Suddenly someone tapped on his shoulder from behind..."Wooohhhhhhh, " He screamed."Ohh youuuu....,you scared the hell out of me"..It was Prachi."Choro ki tereh kya kar rahe the??? (What were you doing like a thief??) " She asked."See see...." He showed the pic to Prachi. Both started giggling together."Ooooohhhhh madam had bought this card also...hmmmmm....see see, I also have something to show,  " She showed another pic to Nitin, Both started giggling again. "What's happening guys?? " Mita came from behind."wooohhhh....nothing nothing... See your Jay, how he is sleeping.." Prachi.Mita saw Jay sleeping on the sofa, greeting card on his chest. She blushed,  "ammmmmmm....hnmmm ..""It's ok..we are getting ready now...you go and meet your  Jay.. must be lambi judaai for you..." Nitin went to take a bath. Prachi also went inside to get ready...Mita slowly walked towards Jay, sat on her knees and was observing sleeping Jay, "He looks like a kid..so innocent.. wow..his eye lashes look so beautiful, naturally curled, long, black and thick. Even a girl will not have such beautiful eye lashes.." She softly touched his eye lashes with her figure and smiled. Then she stood up and was about to leave but then Jay suddenly held her hand and pulled her towards him.. "Good morning my love.."Sudden jerk,  made her fall on his chest,  her open hair covered Jay's face. He softly tucked them behind her ear.. She sat back on her knees, looked into his eyes and slowly ran her fingers through his curly hair. "Kalai Vanakkam...!!""ohhoo , ohhoo... not bad..." he got up happily and kept his hands on her shoulders."Is that a correct pronounciation?? " She asked."mmmmm....not really..but that's OK.. ..." he corrected the pronunciation."But how did you learn this?? Google?? YouTube??""Ye hai...she learnt it from here and this doesn't have pronunciation. Maybe that's why she couldn't pronounce it well." Prachi showed the book to Jay."Ohh wow, where did you get this from??" Jay was pleasantly surprised."Madam, doing all the preparations. She had ordered it a few days back from the Indian shop near the station, " Prachi gave all the details."Really?? That's cool, " Jay was so happy."But if she keeps reading like this, she would never be able to learn Tamil, " Prachi showed a pic of Mita. Just like Jay she also had slept hugging a book."Oh no..u clicked my pic like this.., wait.. I won't leave you now..' Giggling Prachi ran away, Mita tried catching her...The day started with full masti and nok zok.......!!To be continued.........
