Make her dazzle
Make her dazzle
After which they drove back to her house. They parked the car away from the villa.
Ira saw Vivan's car was not at the garage. He must have gone to office. It would have been a problem if he was home. It would have spoiled her surprise.
She breathed out a sigh of relief since she had enough time to prepare a delicious meal.
After unloading the foodstuffs, Ira folded her sleeves up and began to work.
"Though I can't help you cook. I can give you a company." Reeya said crunching on the carrot they bought.
"Help me wash them," Ira pulled out the vegetables and passed them to Reeya.
With a quick hand, a table full of water mouthing food was ready.
"Now let's go to the next destination..." With the food done, Reeya pulled her to a high-end store.
When she drove to the place, Ira had guessed her intentions.
Ira pushed the door and an enchanting woman came forward to greet them.
"Make her dazzle." Reeya sat down on the sofa.
The woman bought Ira to her collection of clothing. The bright clothes only made her bitter. They won't fit. "Don't worry, we have all sizes," she said.
"She is pregnant," Reeya informed. The woman nodded. She has seen all kinds of people. Can't she differentiate the pregnancy bumps from large size?
Ira picked a simple white dress with an open back. The woman painted her face with light makeup.
"You look pretty."
In the afternoon, she didn't call him for the sake of surprise.
Oblivious that his wife had prepared the meals, Vivan sat alone in the restaurant.
"I love you!" The girl on the next table screamed, watching the roses and a ring on the food trolley. She left a bright red lip mark on the man's face.
Apparently she got a diamond ring as her gift. His hands reached his trouser pocket. There was a black box in it. It had a silver ring he ordered from Italy.
An enchanting woman who was singing the melody irked him. In between all these couples, the sole him looked odd.
His face contorted with jealousy. Fulled with envy by he switched off his phone and got out of the restaurant. It was the same place Ira was earlier.
He made a reservation. Like a fool, he always selflessly backs off an argument.
His eyes swept on all the couples. Why am I still alone?
Why did she dump me home on this day? The day is special for him. Kind of like the first Valentine in their life because only now they were a genuine couple.
No, it's enough! Now, as long as she doesn't apologize, he won't talk to her.

In the villa,
A woman with a beautiful smile waited. She looked dazzling in her white dress and makeup.
Her face was full of anticipation. Her phone rang, expecting Vivan she picked it up only to be disappointed.
"Sis, you took a leave for a few days, Captain planned something huge for Valentine's?" It was her brother Ashay.
What plan? He didn't even come home.
"Mind your business." She replied in a sharp voice.
"Sister, I'm lonely."
"You want me to accompany you."
"Why would I? I'm talking about Red. Sis, you didn't forget about me. Right? When will you introduce her?" It was a special day for love. He wished to make it memorable by officially meeting Reeya, but his Sister was against him contacting her by himself.
"You kid. Can't you wait! She had gone through a breakup. Give her some more time. I will help don't worry." Her voice had unrepressed anger.
Did I disturb them? Vivan is sweet, and he must have arranged everything. He has always been so considerate. On the other end, Ashay had his vivid imagination.
"Enjoy with your husband, but you can't forget me!" He added before hanging up.
When she called Vivan, he had switched off his phone. In anger, she dumped all the food in the dustbin. She unloaded her makeup and stood under the shower to cool down.
Till he apologizes, she won't talk to him.
And the cold war continued, Vivan worked late that night and Ira didn't speak a word to him.
