A LOVE STORY OR NOT PART 2

#65

As the days passed by, their married life went by in an equally exciting way, it had started.

The shukla household never saw even a single dull moment. Maa, Shehnaaz and Sidharth would have fun all day long.

And when Shehnaaz wouldn't be at home, it would not feel like a home at all. It seemed like Shehnaaz made these four walls, a home.

It was October 12 and the next day was supposed to be their wedding anniversary, the first of many to come.

They both were busy in searching the perfect gifts for each other.

After all, it had been an year of their marriage and it was important to find something as close to perfect as possible.

Sidharth had been trying to get her something that she doesn't forget ever. No matter how much she told him, that she doesn't need anything, he is going to gift her the most precious thing.

They both were way to excited to see the other person's reaction after seeing the gifts.

The clock stuck 12 and they both got up excitedly, kissing each other first.

"Happy anniversary baby!", they both said together and then laughed.

"Chal tera gift dikhaun!", Sidharth as he dragged her towards the garden of their home.

"Hayee abhi?", she asked happily and Sidharth nodded.

"Par tera gift toh kal milega!", Shehnaaz said.

Sidharth just chuckled and nodded telling her that she didn't need to get him something.

Shehnaaz saw that the garden was fully lit up with ferry lights and Sidharth hadn't even left a single Bush without those lights.

All the garden was lit up brightly and then her eyes fell on the set up in the middle of the garden.

Shehnaaz felt Sidharth wrap a shawl around her and she realised that it indeed was a bit breezy outside.

There were two chairs, a table and covered coffee mugs kept on it. Her eyes landed on something kept on a tripod stand.

She moved closer and her eyes widened looking at the telescope. What was telescope doing here?

She shot up an eyebrow at him and he just smiled softly wrapping an arm around her.

"Date?", Shehnaaz asked with a big smile.

"More like a date with stars!", Sidharth said.

"Since these stars have witnessed almost all our special moments, it's only fair that the stars see our first anniversary as well!", he continued.

Shehnaaz smiled and nodded in agreement. What better way to celebrate their anniversary than being under the stars?

He made her sit on the chair and adjusted the tripod stand in such a way that telescope was in front of her eyes.

"Look!", he asked her to look through the telescope into the sky.

Shehnaaz first looked at him and then leaned towards the telescope to look what it exactly was.

A drone came to her sight and she looked at it in confusion. She adjusted the telescope trying to zoom in because she could see something written on it.

"Happy first year marriage Anniversary Shehnaaz! This is just the first one to the several lined up after this!

I love You ❤️"

The drone read and Shehnaaz just couldn't believe that he could do it. Then came another drone and she focussed on it.

"Here comes your anniversary gift!", it read.
