The Rasgullas

Rahul had a set if keys, so he very slowly opened th door of the house and steped in. He was very sorry that he had forgotten their Anniversary date and so wanted to give surprise to Seema. He had bought two movie tickets, booked a table in her favourite restaurant, got her a beautiful dress that she had seen in the mall few days back. He was all ready to hear her scoldings...after all he had forgotten their first marriage anniversary.

He walked slowly into the bedroom, he knew that this time Seema takes a shower, so he waited eagerly sitting on the bed.

Suddenly he heard his Mama's voice "Rahul, Rahul...have you come from the office?"

He didn't want Seema to know his arrival, so he immediately went outside and whispered "Mama shhh...I forgot our anniversary, so I am home early to give her a surprise."

"You naughty boy, I knew you would do this. You know she is so upset. Listen, I have made her favourite rasgullas and it's inside the fridge, keep this with your surprises, I am sure she will be very happy" her mother said.

"Mom, you are the best mom and MIL in this whole world" he kissed her Mom and quickly took out the bowl full of rasgullas and kept it along with other surprises.

Everything was set, movie tickets, dinner table booked, dress, flowers...above all bowl full of rasgullas. Rahul couldn't wait more. He just wanted to hug her, take her in her arms and say 'sorry'. He could listen the shower from outside and he was becoming more impatient.

"Rahul, what are you doing here? I am waiting outside" an elderly person tapped on his back.

"Dad, shhh...I forgot our anniversary....so I have planned a surprise..Seema is about to come out from shower. See, mom has made these rasgullas" Rahul couldn't hold on to his breath and happily said this to his dad.

"Son, come let's wait outside, she will change and come out" his dad took him outside.

"But dad..." Rahul wanted to stay but his dad forcefully took him outside.

"Ouch" shouted Rahul.

"Thank you doctor for your visit and giving him injection. Since afternoon he has gone out and I was so worried for him. After all he is everything for me. Life was so beautiful for the four of us. But that accident took away Seema and his mom on his first anniversary and he has not been able to come out of his grief. It has been five years since this accident, but every anniversary he behaves exactly the way he did on his first anniversary. Poor child, he could not ask 'sorry' from Seema" , his father cried on the doctor's shoulder.
