The day went with my usual routine and I soon retired back home. During the whole car ride to home, I was immersed in the thoghts of the very first gift of today by my husband.
I'm an over thinker and I admit that. But the way I'm falling weak, I can't accept that even if I admit it.
I promise to myself today—I had enough of his insults and tortures. He can continue hurting me but I'll stay put. I'll stand for myself and stay strong no matter what. So what if my identity has changed, I'm still that strong woman my parents had dreamt of, I had dreamt of.
Taking a deep breath, I let my head fall back on the backrest as I closed my eyes.
I don't know what's waiting for me at the mansion.
"Ma'am we're here", I heard my driver speaking.
Opening the eyes, I got down the car before walking inside the mansion.
To my surprise, the inside of the mansion was totally dark. No movement was there nor any sound. Frowning, I was about to silently turn around to turn on the lights when a strong pair of arms encircled around my waist as he whispered, "Happy birthday doll."
His deep voice rung in my ear as my grip on my bad handle tightened. My eyes blankly stared infront of me as I stood there without uttering a single word.
The room lit up suddenly as everyone wished me 'happy birthday' with party poppers bursting around me. I got startled.
There stood my bestfriends, his secretary Youngjae, Rehan and his brothers except Dhruv. His parents were there too along with my brothers Yuvraj and Aniket. Everyone was smiling at me, their eyes sparkled as they smiled at me. I actually didn't expect them to be here. Even Esha's boyfriend was there. Two more unfamiliar males also stood by Vidhi and Rooh respectively.
A small smile crept on my lips as I stayed frozen in my place.
Unwrapping his arms, he walked in front of me before kneeling down on his one knee as he held a long box in his hands.
It had a two layered chain but it was too long for the neck.
I frowned internally at his sudden change in the behaviour. I expected this evening to be full of guests and gifts but didn't expect him to make such a move.
As I stood there confused, he said,"Happy birthday wifey. This is my gift for you."
"But this chain is too long for the neck", I spoke tracing my fingertips over the golden chain. It was a chain of gold with some diamonds embedded in it within fixed intervals. It was simple but beautiful.
"It's for your waist, doll", he spoke as he stood up on his feet.
"Thank everyone and come to the room", he whispered and walked away.
