Rekindle the "ROMANCE"




************

The room was dark and it was silent all around. The clock had just struck 12. Sanjana heard door being opened. She knew who it was…? It was Rahul her husband returning from another hard day at the office.

Next Morning, as Rahul and Sanjana get ready for their work, sanjana tells rahul that her mom would be picking their 4 year daughter Anjali from the school that evening. As Rahul is about to leave for the office,

Sanjana calls him……

Sanjana: Rahul… (Pauses for a minute) Happy Anniversary dear…
(Hugs him)

Rahul: Oh! I forgot again…. Sorry….
Happy Anniversary …..

And Rahul leaves for the office.

Sanjana drops her daughter at the school and leaves for her office.


***********

Rahul: Hey Precious! How’s your day going?

Sanjana: So far it has not been so good. (Sounding Dull)
That boos of mine is making life hell.

Rahul: Hmmmmm…….. Ok!..
How about having a dinner in the evening today at your favorite restaurant?
Now does that cheer up my sweetheart?

Sanjana: Hmmm… that sounds great darling. (Ecstatically)

Rahul: Ok! Be ready at 6. I will pick you up at your office.
Bye.. Love you take care….

Sanjana: Bye dear… Love you too….


This was during their initial days of marriage. It has been 6 years since rahul and sanjana got married. The romance between them is kind of dying every day.

“All of was so Perfect” she thought when she thinks over the past. They used to call each other frequently even during the office working hours. Rahul was so romantic, she thought and they used to share a lot. For their first wedding anniversary, Rahul arranged for a big surprise party for Sanjana.

But, all that has changed after they have started to live in much stressed out insomniac lives.


******************


It’s 8 in the evening, and rahul is driving on his way to home. He tunes into radio.

(tu hi re…. tu hi re… song in the background)

It being sanjana’s favorite song, it reminds him of the morning incident. He thinks about their relationship they had.

Sanjana: Hey dear! How was your day?
(Gives him a warm hug)
Rahul: Yeah… went great. Though little tiresome.
(Falls on the sofa with a thud)
Sanjana: What happened to that deal of yours that you were worried of…?
(Hers arms around his shoulders)
Rahul: It was through finally.. (with a smile)
So how was your day?
Sanjana: As Usual!
(Sighs..!)
Rahul: Ok! My darling…
How about me making the dinner for my cutie wifey today…
(Hugging her)
Sanjana: How sweet!
(Kissing him on his cheek)


This was long back…….. When sanjana and he used to keep sending cute romantic messages every minute…. when sanjana planned for a surprise party on his birthday….

It has been since a long time since they even had a coffee outside alone. They have become so busy in their Hum drum lives and forgot the most important things in their life….. Which is…..
