"Let"s go grocery shopping then." Ira pulled Reeya to a supermarket and got all the ingredients for dishes Vivan liked.They parked the car away from the villa. Vivan"s car was not at the garage, he would be out working. Ira breathe out a sigh of relief. He would be in the office. She"s got enough time to prepare a delicious meal.
After unloading the foodstuffs, Ira folded her sleeves up and began to work.
"Though I can"t help you cook. I can give you company." Reeya said.
With a quick hand, she made a table full of water mouthing food.
"Now let"s go to the next destination..." Reeya pulled her to a high-end store.
Ira pushed the door. An enchanting woman came forward to greet them.
"Make her dazzle." Reeya sat down on the sofa and said.
The woman bought Ira to her collection of clothing. The brilliant clothes only made her bitter. They won"t fit. "Don"t worry we have all sizes," she said.
"She is pregnant," Reeya informed.
The woman nodded. She has seen all kinds of people. Can"t she differentiate the pregnancy b.u.mp from large size?
Ira picked a simple white dress with an open back. They applied makeup.
"You look pretty."
In the afternoon she didn"t call him for the sake of surprise.
Oblivious that his wife had prepared the meals, Vivan sat alone in the restaurant.
" I love you!" The girl on the next table screamed, watching the roses and a ring on the food trolley. She left a bright red lip mark on the man"s face.
Apparently, she got a diamond ring. His hands reached his trouser pocket, there was a box. It had a diamond necklace he ordered.
His face contorted with jealousy.
Fulled with envy by he switched off his phone and got out of the restaurant. It was the same place Ira was earlier.
He made a reservation. Like a fool, he always selflessly backs off an argument.
His eyes swept on all the couples. Why am I still alone?
Why dumping me on this day? The day is special for him. Kinda like the first Valentine in their life because only now they were a genuine couple.
No, it"s enough! Now, as long as she doesn"t apologize, he won"t talk to her.
****
A woman with a beautiful smile waited. Her face was full of antic.i.p.ation. Her phone rang, expecting Vivan she picked it up only to be disappointed.
"Sis, you took a leave for a few days, Captain planned something huge for Valentine"s?" It was her brother.
What plan? He didn"t even come home.
"Mind your business." She replied in a sharp voice.
"Sister I"m lonely."
"You want me to accompany you."
"Why would I? I"m talking about Red. Sis, you didn"t forget about me, right? When will you introduce her?" It was a special day. He wished to make it memorable by officially meeting Reeya, but her Sis was against him contacting her.
"You kid. Can"t you wait! She had gone through a breakup. Give her some more time. I will help don"t worry."
Her voice had unrepressed anger.
Did I disturb them? Vivan is sweet, he must have arranged everything. He has always been so considerate.
"Enjoy with your husband, but you can"t forget me!" He added before hanging up
She called Vivan. He switched off his phone.
In anger, she dumped all the food in the dustbin. She unloaded her makeup and stood under the shower to cool down.
Till he apologizes, she won"t talk to him.
