Stolen Heart

Our home

The next morning, Sara wakes up by Shubman's call.

Shubman: Hey cutie! Good morning!

Sara ( in sleepy voice): Hmm, Good morning!

Shubman: Did I just disturb your sleep?

Sara: No!! I was about to wake up anyways.

Shubman: Okay then listen my sleeping beauty! We're first going to see the house then you'll come home for lunch where my best friends will also join. Is it too much for a day?

Sara: Naah! It's perfect. Let me get ready then.

Shubman: I'll send a driver to the hotel who will take you to the address directly.

Sara agrees and then cuts the call to take a quick shower and get ready for the day. Later on, she gets in the car Shubman had sent for her. After reaching there, Sara called Shubman to let him know that she has reached to the address he gave her.

Sara: Hey! I've reached. Where are you?

Shubman: Come inside. I'm here only.

Sara walks in the house. It was still in progress. Only 30% of the work was done. Sara sees Shubman and a proud smile spreads over her face that screamed "I'm so proud of you to come this far".

Shubman: I know it's incomplete right now but I still wanted to show it you?

Sara ( sees around ): It's already beautiful.

That's when the interior designer came and started talking with Shubman about some housing details. From the conversation, Sara could understand that the house is going to have a lot of arts and stuff. When Shubman was done discussing the details, he turned to Sara.

Shubman: Sorry for the interruption.

Sara: No it's perfectly fine. But you never mentioned that you are into art.

Shubman: I was not but I'm becoming now.

Sara: How?

Shubman ( cups her cheeks ): When I went to your house, there were so many paintings in there. You never mentioned it before but I could sense that you all are into art a lot. This house will take a few years to get fully completed and one thing that my heart is so sure about is that it needs you there forever. Till its last beat. So this house is yours as much as it's mine. In short, there's going to be a lot of artistic things and paintings and stuff. Feel free to instruct me to get more things done according to you.

Sara ( eyes in tear): Shub, what did I do to deserve you? I mean, I never expected that someone would do so much for me without even me asking for it. You always do so much for me.

Shubman: And I want to do much more for you. Always and forever. You make my world so happy and colourful just by being in it. Itna toh kar hi sakta hu main, hai na?

Sara steps forward, presses her face against his chest and wraps her arms around his waist. Shubman kisses her forehead.

Shubman: This is our home. Let's build our future together.

Sara: And grow old together.

Shubman ( laughs): Haha! Chalo ab let me show you around.

Shubman started showing her around and Sara was listening to even the smallest details very carefully. And like that, they spent their morning in that house and then started leaving for Shubman's current house for lunch.
After few minutes, they reached there.
Sara greeted everyone and sits on the couch.

His mom: Sara, did you like the house? Matlab pura toh nahi bana hai but jo bhi hai?

Sara: Haa Aunty!! Abhi hi itna achha dikh raha hai woh... Waise where's uncle?
