I blinked my eyes, as if unable to believe... Is she for real!!!!!😲

Shocked, Flabbergasted, totally surprized🤔Are there anymore more....damn.... bro....

Bhagwan ne meri sunli yaar..... Thank you.... Thank you so much God....

I wanted to perform Bhangra....agle 11 somvaar nariyal chadaunga mandir me.😁😄😃

I can't even express my happiness. Feels like I am over the moon. My heart is jumping and dancing like I just won a lottery. 

Wait..Wait.... So she still hasn't seen me, cause her eyes are downcasted. As if the floor is much more interesting than me. I can see her stoic face, deprived of any expression. Wearing pink color saree just like she wore on the day of our school farewell. Her beauty is ethereal... just ethereal. I find myself lost, only god knows where.

She kept the tray on the table. And the next second she lifted her eyes....her eyes making me feel like warm and fuzzy. And here she got the biggest surprise.🤩🤩🤩

Shock was evident on her beautiful face, I tried really hard to control my laugh cause her reaction was priceless. It was as if she is trying to make herself believe that I am seriously present in front of her.

The same thing that I experienced a few seconds ago. Smirking, I playfully raised my eyebrows.

She was still looking at me, blinking her beautiful doe eyes and mouth agape. A girl, maybe younger than us, elbowed my swati, smiling at her. That's when she realised that she is staring at me. Her cheeks turned red being caught.

Both the girls brought the rest of the stuffs and kept that on the table. She came forward and took blessings from my mom and dad by touching their feet.

Mom pulled her to sit by her side.
Mom and her excitement. Seriously....
I shook my head, smilingly.

I can't take my eyes off her. Especially, after so many years. This is no less than a miracle for me.

 I can't help but to agree that she has become more beautiful now. Her long hair trimmed a little. The fringe that covered her forehead slightly was adoring her face perfectly.
I scolded myself to openly gawking at her that too in front of everyone. So, to distract myself I started talking to her father. From the corner of my eye I can feel that a pair of mesmerizing eyes were also looking at me.
And when I lifted my eyes to look back at her. She quickly diverted her gaze and pretended to talk to my mom.

same old habit🥰  
..... Interesting huhh!!!.........................

I was in a middle of conversation with uncle, when suddenly that little girl came and sat beside me.

Smiling at me she said "hello Jiju. My name is Divya, i am swati didi's younger sister.... How are you?? " Offering her hand for a handshake.

I returned the smile and took her offered hand to shake. Replying to her " Hi.... Divya.. I am fine... Nice to meet you"

Staring at me she had a confused expression on her face, as if trying to remember something.
Recalling that thing she added" You know.... I think I have seen you somewhere.... But I don't remember it"

I said with the same confused frown " Me???? But.... Where"

And the next moment her face broke into a bright smile as if she remembered what she was trying to contemplate.

She whispered cautiously, looking at her sister to be double sure that she is not listening to us. And to her relief she was busy in talking to my mom.

"You know jiju.... My sister has your pic in her mobile in a hidden folder, she used to look at your pic every night before sleeping. And whenever I ask her about the same she always says it's nothing. But one day I got the chance to sneak at her phone and saw your pic. Cause there was only one pic in that folder and that was you..... "

Someone pinch me... Please... Am I dreaming😍😍😲😲.... Guys.... I can't handle that much happiness..... I gonna die and straight go to heaven........and then come back and marry this gorgeous girl who is sitting in front of me oblivious of the fact that she is taking my breath away each passing second.
I think god has rewarded me of my hard work and my love to find her, all these years.

I said " Thank you " to my cute soon to be sister-in- law for revealing such a fantastic information.
We were still talking when uncle told me and swati to go and talk freely in the other room.
Her younger sister guides us and she left with teasing smile on her face.
The moment she left, I got a devilish idea. I have planned the thing on the spot, when I came to know about my pic scenario. And now I am dying to execute that.
Wait.... My sweet heart.... Having a little fun is no harm before I confess you my feelings.😉

Pretending to have a stoic face,, I faced her and said in a serious, no- nonsense tone " Hi.... Swati.... I never thought u would be that girl about whom my parents were telling me about... "

Her smile vanished by confused look.

Trying hard to remain serious I further added "I am sorry... But..... But I love someone else.... I can't live without her"

Listening these lines from me, her face become totally pale as if I dropped a bomb on her, I can see hurt on her flawless face.

' sorry my love, but let me have some fun.... After all, I caught you after such a long time. I won't let this chance slip from my hand this time to make u mine .... But after a little bit of teasing.. mi amore...'

With amusement and feeling proud on my plan I said "she was in our class... Don't you remember her. She is the most gorgeous girl..... (Admiring the girl in front of me)
I used to have a crush on her and didn't realise when my stupid crush turned into love. She is the one for me........Don't you remember her?????"

She just shook her head in a no, and I can see that tears started to form in her eyes, which she was trying hard to blink back.
She didn't say a single word till now from the moment we stepped in this room, she has been quiet. I am the one who is talking.
I saw her skillfully wiping a lone tear that slipped unknowingly from her eyes so that I shouldn't see ... But I have already noticed that. She is crying inside. Does she really love me that much?

It pierced my heart to see her like this. So, let's end this drama.
Still Smiling for my sake, she was listening to me intently.

I said " Wait...... Let me show you her picture... I took on the day of farewell... In that way you would be able to recognize her quickly. Cause it would take time for you to recall if I just tell you only her name ... "

With that I fished out my phone, unlocking it and opening my gallery..i showed my phone screen to her.....That girl I love more than anything..... And u all know.....that girl is she herself.

A playful smile played on my lips when I saw her mouth slightly ajar with surprise to see herself in my phone, her eyes wide open, twinkling with tears. And after realising the fact her face broke into a heart warming smile and precious smile.
She raised her hand to take my phone to see her pic, properly. But I was quick, I literally throw my phone on the sofa behind her ignoring the fact that my expensive phone can break into pieces if landed on the floor.... but again who cares..😉

Grabbing her wrist firmly yet in a gentle grip I pushed her soft body towards me resulting in landing her both the palms flat on my chest. She gasped at the certain turns of events. Leaving her wrist and grinning ear to ear. I secured my other hand around her waist and with my free hand I wiped her tears that from her pink cheek. I asked raising an eyebrow in a teasing manner " There's certain someone who clicked my pic on farewell day, stored that in a hidden folder...... And I didn't have a slightest clue..... "

It was as if she realised the hidden meaning in my lines. And then she spoke for the first time since we entered this room.

Blushing profusely and trying to look somewhere else except me she started
" I liked u from the day I saw you..... From the day u stepped in our class. And soon that likeness changed into a strong emotion called love.....( looking at me she continues) But I was always afraid to talk to you. Cause u became so famous..... Literally apple of everyone's eye in just one day... Everyone was so interested to know you .....especially girls and..... "

I interrupted her by putting my finger on her delicate lips. Her doe eyes staring back at me.
I replied with determination in my voice "And what if I say.... I was only interested to know one girl from the beginning itself...... And that's YOU"

As if still doubting my words...

I said " What..... Still doubting me.... Fine... Let me prove my love for you with a kiss "

She quickly reacted by saying " Whattt...."

I broke into a laughter by seeing her face getting red by passing second.

Once my laughter subdued I closed the gap between us and taking her face between my palms...feeling the softness of her skin..i kissed her forehead affectionately.

I hugged her wrapping my arms around her securely and in return she also wrapped her arms around me. When I looked at her face still hugging her, i saw her smiling, resting her head on my chest.

We pulled away from each other when we heard a chirpy voice that belongs to my sister-in-law.

" Hello...... Love birds..... " ( she added with teasing smile)

" As much as I don't want to interrupt your romance but.....Everyone is waiting." 

I chucked softly looking at my lady while she blushed beautifully..

I took her hand in mine and from the corner of my eye, i can see her younger sister smiling at us.
We all reached the living room and all the four people looked at our intertwined hands. I saw my mother face lit up with excitement as if already knowing my answer.

After listening to our replies the room filled with happiness. My mom completed the rest of traditions. By gently placing a decorated red dupatta on her head and giving her gifts, sweet boxes and Shagun envelope. Her mom in return gave me sweets boxes and an envelope of Shagun. Rest of the rituals goes on like this.

She looks so breathtaking in that saree and red dupatta on her head.

She is my QUEEN. My happiness has no limit knowing that 'I am the love of my crush'😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you God..... Thank you soo much.... For bringing her back in my life and making her mine......

Maybe God has also realised my love her.
It was the time when I was about to lose hope but God did a miracle...
Miracles can indeed happen anytime in your life.

Our love for each other was soo strong that God himself helped us.

6 years later.

Arsh's pov
It's been 6 years, we are happily married and parents of a 5-year-old adorable girl, Our Princess... Manyata...our small packet big surprise.... I feel immense happiness realizing that I am so lucky to have these 3 beautiful ladies in my life.... My mom, my wife- Swati, and now one more crucial member added to this list and that's our Manya..

When swati gave birth to our daughter. I was so freaked out about the situation that my swati was comforting me when it should be the other way round.😰😰
I must say women are really brave and strong even more than us. And my swati didn't for once chickened out. She was going through so much complications during that period yet there was a Serene smile on her beautiful face all the time. She gave birth to our manya.

Our baby was like the best thing that happened in my life. She was so small, so delicate, so adorable, so tiny. I can't help myself praising her. I was even afraid to hold her but my swati guided me how to hold her properly in my arms.... So light like a feather.🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗

 
She was studying my face and I was looking at her. I didn't realised when a lone tear slipped from my eye, the moment my daughter touched my face with her tiny, soft palms. I was on cloud nine, I was so delighted, so happy can't even express.
And the next moment I went towards my wife's side and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, thanking her to enter the life of an idiot like me and making it so beautiful.

Wrapped in a fluffy towel, world's cutest girl with dazzling brown orbs staring at us, soft cheeks. And making a cute pout.
So adorable just like my swati.

My mom and dad and swati's parents went literally crazy after seeing manya. They were behaving like children full of excitement.

Manya is 5 yrs old now, getting more cute and naughty everyday, I must mention.
She is like a whole package of laughter and energy.
Always planning some prank and thinking beyond our imagination. And you know what my mom and dad are not leaving any opportunity to spoil her even more.
Sometimes I have to act like my daughter's shield when swati gets furious of this little devil's tactics.

Now thinking of swati...... Where is she??
Dad is out of city to meet a relative, mom has gone to get manya from school. I have an off today.........but Where is my queen....🤔🤔🤔

I have been completing my work from past 2 hours in my study room.
Looking for swati, I was about to enter the kitchen when I got her glimpse......... My heart beats frantically... 🥰

She is so talented, so qualified, got excellent grades yet she decided to take care of my family and not to do an office job. Although I told her that if she want, she can gladly work or even study further but she always assured me saying that she is happy to be at home and to take care of us.

Every time she looks at me and gave a heart warming smile, my heart just leaps out of my ribcage. I still feel like a teenager who had newly fallen in love.

Crossing my arms in front of my chest, I leaned against the door frame and admired the beauty standing near the kitchen slab.
Still the same, simply gorgeous, dressed up in a salwar suit. Pouting while concentrating on the dish, thin strands of hairs falling on her face making it more alluring. AAAHhhhhh stop being so beautiful Swati...😫

I quietly tip-toed and went behind her.
She gasped out of surprise when I wrapped my arms around her waist but relaxed quickly realizing it's me.

  
Locking my arms around her petite body, I was enjoying her sweet and soothing scent by dipping my face in her neck. She is like an addiction to me. After a moment I peeked at her face and noticed her blushing cheeks. It's been 6 yrs, still she feel shy whenever I come close to her. And she doesn't have a single clue that her shyness motivates me to kiss her senseless even more.

Placing my lips on her slender neck, I placed my chin on her shoulder. Her irregular heart beats clearly says about her.

This beauty is gonna be my death for sure. I smirked thinking this..

Finding hard to utter a word  because of my touch still she managed to say
" Um.... Do.... Do.... You....... Want.... Any..... Anything.......??? "

Grinining mischievously I whispered near her ear " Yaaa..... I want you...... "

Getting surprised at my audacity, she was quiet after that, unable to continue her work, to say anything.

I was enjoying this moment and deep In  heart I know that she also love to be in my arms. It's just that we both are busy every time and it's difficult to spare some time for each other from past few weeks.

I turned her towards me, so that we could come face to face. Drowning in her deep brown eyes, my lips few inches away from hers. So much of shyness that it's difficult for her to look into my eyes. She always hides from my intense gaze by looking downward, her long eye lashes acting as a shield.

I touched my forehead with hers and cradling her face, was about to close the gap when a sweet voice came from the other side...
"Dadddddddyyyyyyyyyyy........ "

Wait it's getting louder and here is the little invader🤨..... Standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

The sight was enough for me and swati to come out of our romantic moment when we saw our angel..... Or should I call her cute devil cause she has bad timing.... I groaned mentally....

She was staring at us innocently and getting curious and confused that why am I trapping her mom between me and countertops.

" Daddy.... What..... Doing...... U.... And mommy " Asking with curious stare.

Swati hastily maintained some distance and replied on my behalf " Nothing dear..... We... Are doing..... Nothing..... Where's daadi... "
She asked manya to change the topic.

" Daadi.... told... Me.... ...To... Go.... Inside... The house.... And she..... Going.... Bazaar  (market)....... " Manya replied

I mentally mocked " Wow.... Mom.... Really🙄....... Why don't you let...me and your daughter- in- law enjoy a Romantic moment "

And I muttered in a defeated manner " Bad timing.... Princess... " Earning a glare from swati.

I went towards my daughter and picked her in my arms, the next moment she hugged me, placing her soft cheek on my chest....

Our manya is never silent like this...she is always the chirpy one. Definitely there something bothering her.. Swati also understood my thoughts and came besides us.

I asked " Is my angel sad.... "
Manya nodded in return with a gloomy face.

" What happened to my munchkin???.....why is your lovely smile missing....?????" I asked gently.

Manya started in her soft voice " Daadddy...... A new boy... Came..... In.. Class "

And I got alerted " And... What.... Did he said something to you... Tell me dear... "

In return my princess immediately shook her little head causing her hair to bounce. Swati placed her hand on my arm to calm me saying in obvious manner " Arsh.... Please at least listen to her first... "

I nodded and encourage my daughter to continue.

She said further " No.... Daddy... He... Is so sweet and..... Cute... He is a good boy... "

Me and swati can see her face lit up while she talks about this little guy.... We both smiling seeing our baby describing the kid.
I asked " Then what is it..... Princess...?? "

Manya said " He is always quite..... Mommy.... He don't talk to... Me.... I tried... So many times.... To talk  ...... But....  He...Don't say...... Anything..... Daddy.... "She said in a depressing tone.

Seems like a flashback to me, cause I remember my time when I was dying to talk to my swati.

I smirked playfully winking at swati.
" Seems like princess and daddy is facing the same fate"

Swati understood the hidden meaning of my words cause a smile slipped from her lips.

Swati cleared her throat gesturing me to come back to the topic.

I turned my face to look at manya and said smilingly " Don't worry munchkin.... I will come with you tomorrow to school and gonna talk to him that why is he not talking to a beautiful girl like u..... Okay"

Manya's eyes glittered with delight. She said "really......daddy" And I nodded at her.

And here my excited little kid started jumping in my arms.

Getting afraid I said " Princess... Careful"

But in return she in her excited tone said " Daddy... Put me down... "

And I put her down, she went like a lightening speed.

Looking at swati I scratch the back of my head in confusion saying " Isn't she too much excited... "
When my  swati replied with a soft chuckle
" Yeahhhh........i pray to God that my manya always smile like this"

Wrapping my arm around her shoulder I agreed saying " Me too"

Smiling deviously and playfully raising an eye brow I asked " Can we continue our romance.... "😉
