Same Date

It was 21^{st of} August. After a week’s off, Rohan was back in the office.

Rohan came to Abhishek. “I want the leaves for two weeks next month. My marriage is fixed to be held on 21^st Sep.“

“21^st Sep? That’s amazing. You know, I also got married on 21^st Sep only. But that was seven years back. You are taking only two weeks leaves; I went on vacation for three weeks. You should also take three weeks off. It’s fine with me. After all, it’s your marriage buddy and that too on the same date, when I got married. “

“Thanks, Sir! Request you to also come to the wedding, along with your family.”

“No need to say this Rohan. I will definitely come. “

“Did you listen, guys; Rohan is getting married on 21^st Sep, the same date when I got married. Let’s celebrate it today after office hours.”

Abhishek reached home late, “Shikha, you always complain that I don’t take you anywhere on our anniversary. This time, you won’t be having any complaint. You know, Rohan of my team is also getting married on 21^st Sep. How wonderful it is to know that his special day will also be the same. It will be a joyful event. We will go to his wedding party and will enjoy our day too. Don’t you think, it will be so good to have the marriage anniversary of two members of the team on the same date? “

Surprised, Shikha asked, “Who else has marriage anniversary on 21^st Sep?”

“What happened to you Shikha, it’s our anniversary,” he responded.

“Now, this is too much, Abhishek. My marriage anniversary is on 21^st August, that is, TODAY, I don’t know about yours. On the contrary, I was expecting you to come early today so as to go out somewhere to have a party together.” she slammed the door of the bedroom.

“Oh no, what have I done.” Abhishek smacked his forehead.
