Happie Reading!

The next day Anupama wanted to do something special for Anuj. She knew that he liked chocolate very much and so she thought of making chocolate fudge. She took the effort to search its recipe on the internet and made it for the first time. Anuj's thoughts started occupying her mind. And in recent times she started smiling at the thought of him. She packed the chocolate fudge and left for office.

When she reached the office, she saw that Anuj was already engrossed with his work. His face lit up seeing her enter his cabin. She took out the chocolate fudge and slid it towards him. His eyes twinkled seeing it. He understood that it's the outcome of the letter that he had given her to read. But this time he was happy that it wasn't out of pity but her own willingness and gaiety.

"Pehli baar try kiya hai! Khaakar bataiye ke kaisa bana hai." she said with a slight hesitancy.

Anuj was excited to have it immediately and said, "Mai isko abhi khaa lu????" he couldn't wait till the lunch break.

"Abhi khaane ke liye hi toh diya hai. Mai jaakar chammach..." she was just about to leave to bring the spoon but the moment she approved he didn't waste a single second and dipped his finger right away into the chocolate fudge. He sucked his finger relishing the chocolate fudge.

She was stunned for a moment seeing that and started admiring him. Anuj Kapadiya, the most savage business tycoon was enjoying his fudge like a child, in the most uncivilized manner. She then realized that adulting does not mean that the child in you must die. These are the little things that made life beautiful and worth living. She heartily laughed at the mess that he made of himself. After a very long time Anuj saw her laugh like that and was very happy.

He didn't realize that he had chocolate all over his face. He just raised his eyebrow asking what made her laugh so much. She then pointed at his face indicating him of the mess. He tried wiping it with the tissue but half of it was still there. Anupama didn't realize what she was doing as her hand moved at its own accord. She took the tissue from his hand and started wiping the left-over chocolate. Now it was Anuj's turn to be stunned. His mind stopped processing seeing her so close. He couldn't even blink his eyes with the fear that this beautiful sight might just disappear.

Anupama then got conscious of his gaze and realized what she was doing. She slowly pulled away her hand saying, "suri...mai voh..." and turned to go and sit at her usual place at the sofa where she worked.

Right then she heard him say, "I love you! Maine zindagi mein pehli shayri tumhare liye hi likhi thi, aaj na jaane phir se sunane ka mann kar rha hai."

She was shocked! She didn't expect this to come. She wasn't prepared for something like this. She tried moving her feet but couldn't. And he continued, "Tumhe dekhke dil mein shehnayi si jaati hai baj. Tumhe dekhke dil mein shehnayi si jaati hai baj. Mai tumse sachcha pyar karta hu..." Anupama turned to face him and was surprised at the sight before her as he said the last line of his shayri, "Oh mere chocolate fudge!" and with that he wiped the last remains of the chocolate fudge from the dabba, enjoying it to the core.

Anupama inwardly smiled adoring his antiques and Anuj didn't fail to notice that.

"Aise chocolate fudge ke liye toh mai roz ek letter de sakta hu tumhe!" he exclaimed.

Anupama thought that this was her chance to get another letter from him and said, "toh phir dijiye!" she extended her hand for the same.

"Nahi! Mai nahi dunga." He flatly refused her demand.
