She had everything set to the last detail. He had already arrived at the restaurant and called her almost a dozen times. She ignored each one, and from the curtains behind the stage, She saw his anger boil by the minute. But this had to be done, for the surprise to be actually perfect; She had to avoid any and all communications till the right moment. The hostess, nudged her to get ready to get on stage, and She took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. The crowd began a roar of claps to cheer her on as they knew it was her first performance. She got to the mike, and looked straight at him and said, “Everyone takes time finding their soul mate, I found mine in my best friend. You have always pestered me to sing live for you so Honey this one’s for you.” _______________________________________________________ He strummed the guitar to get it in tune. He had not picked up the guitar in years, the last time He did, She was with him. He had vowed never to pick it up, but He could not say no this little baby girl. It was quite clever of her, to use her fluttering eyelids to melt his heart, she had asked only for him to sing her favourite song. He could not resist his daughter little request. He went into the storage room and brought his long lost love; his guitar out. As He began strumming the beautiful melody that his late wife also loved, He had to admit it was not easy but it felt good… _______________________________________________________ She had always found her solace when she was recording a new song. But then, this was different, She was singing his favourite song as part of a surprise gift for his going away party. She had planned to record this song for quite some time now, but She was a little nervous. She wanted it to be just perfect, so that whenever He wanted to hear her sing, He could just fire up his iPod and play it. She began warming up her vocals, and soon the light beats began to play. She closed her eyes and began singing. She imagined his smile, how happy He would be to hear his favourite yesteryear number. She got so lost in the song, that when it was finished She was in tears. A couple of hours later, the recording studio official handed her a copy of the file and as She walked out of the studio, She smiled at how wonderful her surprise was… ________________________________________________________________

He watched as She tossed and turned in her sleep, He wished He could do something. But, the doctors had told him that these effects were only temporary with the medication, they would soon be gone forever. He got up and looked outside the window, He thought back to the last time She smiled. It was when He had proposed to her, at her favourite restaurant. It was their one year anniversary. Al though He knew He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her the moment He saw her smile from a distance, He had patiently waited. He knew how much She had been hurt in the past. As He signalled the waiter to play her favourite song, and He began expressing himself, She was speechless. As, He sat on his one knee and asked her to be his and only his (He would not mind sharing her with the kids) for the next seven lives. She had a tear drop and big smile, with a screeching yes. He wished He could see that smile again…
________________________________________________ She smiled at her son and kissed his forehead. She could not believe that after eight years of waiting She and the love of her life had been blessed with such a handsome (like his father) baby boy. Her little man had already got all the other mothers at the hospital’s attention, as word had spread that he had smiled the moment he had been laid down into his mother and father’s arms. Everyone had stopped by to see the handsome young man, and his father had become the official manager. As She was smiling to herself, She saw the little guy’s eyes open and he gave her such a tiny almost to die for adorable smile. She kissed his little nossie, and whispered into his ears, “Don’t worry, I will take more care of you than your daddy.” He had walked and heard what She had said to their bundle of love. He jumped in and kissed the little guy and said a loud with a chuckle, “Correction I will take care of you more than mommy, after all we are on the same right little guy?”…. ________________________________________________ He knew that She was sick and alone. He promptly picked up his phone and within an hour his travel plan was set. He boarded the afternoon flight and by nightfall He was at her doorstep. She had called and messaged almost a dozen times, but He ignored them all. He rang the door bell and listened inside. He could hear her cribbing at the empty space in her house as to why someone would come to meet her at this hour. After what seemed like a good 10 minutes, She opened the door, looking naturally beautiful but pale. She was drinking cough syrup out of the bottle and almost spat when She saw him at her doorstep. She gathered herself and let him in. He promptly kept his luggage at a corner as She locked the door behind him. He turned around and as She was about to say something, He wrapped her into his arms. She melted into his arms, and asked, “You realize that if we both fall sick, who the heck is going to take care of us?”… ________________________________________________ She held onto his hand and kissed it. She whispered softly, “I know it has been 10 years since you went to this deep sleep, but I still feel like you listen to me. So, I am asking you today for my birthday as a gift to us, come back to me. I know you want to, I know your scared, but know this I am not going anywhere not now, not ever. Just come back to me.” With the last word a tear drop fell on his hand, and then his finger twitched. She almost immediately felt it; She trembled as She looked up at her handsome husband. She could see his eyes flicker, and She said, “Yes my love, you can do it. I am right here. Just open them up.” With that He opened his eyes, and saw the love of his life as beautiful and radiant as looking at him. As She leaned into kiss him on his cheek, She whispered, “It took you long enough. Don’t you ever scare me like that again?” ________________________________________________ He looked at the clock and checked the time yet again. He got up and gathered his things, and boarded the bus to his hometown. He was not sure of what would happen when She would seem him at her doorstep, after all it had been 25 years. He had accepted her decision to marry his best friend and had left town the very next day. He had not looked back until, He had received a letter from his last best friend. The letter explicitly requested him to go back to her and make an honest woman out of her. His best friend explained that even though he had gotten married to her, deep down She had still loved him. He gave it a few months before He decided to approach her, and finally the time had come. He walked up to her doorstep and rang the doorbell. He waited for her and when She finally opened the door, He knew He was doing the right thing…. ________________________________________________ She held her baby girl tighter and could not help but smile. As She smiled, She saw a flash and He had captured the beautiful moment. She looked up at him and gave a cheeky smile, and gestured for him to come to her. As He came close and they both held their baby girl, they both knew that this was one of their happiest moments together. As the nurse flashed a picture of the new parents, She whispered to him, “I know you think I am going to be a great mom, but I want you to promise me that whether or not that happens, you will always be the best dad in the world.” He could not help but smile, and He said, “We both are going to be amazing parents to this beautiful girl we have created. After all, she is living proof of our everlasting love for one another. If either of messes up and she is angry with us, the other shall comfort her, what’s say?” She just smiled at how perfect He was… ________________________________________________
