It was 13th Feb, the day when Akansha and Abhimanyu met for the first time 6 years back. Like every year, Akansha has planned and arranged to make this day a grand and memorable day of their life. She was waiting for him to come home so that they could have a gala time.
The clock showed 9 pm. Akansha picked the cell to call Abhimanyu. “Soniye Hiriye Teri Yaad Aandi Ye; Seene Vich Tadapta Hai Dil Jaan Jaandi Ye. Tuhi Jind Meri Ye Dil Da Karaar Ni..Tuhi Jind Meri Ye Dil Da Karaar.. Tu Aaja Tenu Rabda Wasta.. Udekta Main Tera Rasta” Abhimanyu’s caller tune played and stopped, but no one picked the call. A messaged found its way to Akansha’s inbox which says “In a meeting, can’t talk”.
Akansha begged Abhimanyu to take a day off today but he couldn’t manage as he had his production deployment. Being a corporate employee, Akansha understand everything but her heart denies accepting the harsh reality, “Is that more important than me?” A question, her heart asks her all the time and she doesn’t have any answer to that. Sometimes she tries to make her heart understand, sometimes cries over her pillow or end up having a nasty fight with Abhimanyu. But nothing seems to help. She still had no answer for her heart as forever.
Akansha arranged the dinner in the dining table and thought of taking a bath. Abhimanyu will definitely be home by the time she is done. She dipped herself in a long bath and followed every skin care regimes she does to give Abhimanyu more time to be back. Never been a big follower and fan of all the girly maintaining stuff. She comforted herself in a comfortable night suit and made herself comfortable on the sofa. There was no trace of Abhimanyu at home, nor any call or message. She picked up a novel and lied down in the sofa.
“Sorry Sona, I got stuck in some work. I am so so so sorry! I promise we will spend the entire day together”. Abhimanyu plotted a kiss on Akansha’s forehead and hugged her tightly as soon as Akansha opened the door. All the anger Akansha had, was vanished in a moment.
Akansha woke up in a jerk with the ring of calling bell which was not ready to stop at all. She got a smile on her face back, her dream is about to be true. She must have slept deep and Abhimanyu must be worried. Akansha arranged her hair and plotted a pseudo anger in her face opened the door.
“Why were you not opening the door, Akansha? I am standing here for such a long time.”
“Abhimanyu, did you see the time? How long do you expect me to wait for you? It’s one in the night” Akansha rebuked, upset for Abhimanyu not plotting the kiss in her forehead as per her dream, frustrated as her special day was over.
“Akansha, please don’t start now. I am too tired for your stupid fights. I am going to sleep. Need to leave early tomorrow as well” Abhimanyu told. “Did you have your dinner?” He asked
“Did I ever eat without you?”
“Akansha, how many times do I have to tell you? Please have your dinner if I am late and stop torturing me. Please go and eat” Abhimanyu told and dozed off.
Akansha, always a demanding and perfectionist girl, stood there shocked and shattered. How come her wishes are so negligible to Abhimanyu? How could Abhimanyu forget it was their special day and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. She composed herself, put the food in the fridge and came to bed to find Abhimanyu already asleep and her dreams of special day shattered.
