The time was 12 and Shikhar was crying into Divya's shoulder with his face in the crook of her neck.
"Why did you leave me?" Shikhar was tired from all the crying but his body didn't listen to him. His eyes were mourning over his lost love.
"You can't come back to me! Can you?" Shikhar was heart broken.
Divya moved slightly and her fingers tapped on Shikhar's thighs softly. Shikhar was too immersed in his emotions to notice this.
A blue wave of magic blew into the car and created a blue bubble around the duo.
"I loved you!" Shikhar said in between cries.
"You don't love anymore?" Divya asked.
Shikhar was shocked to hear the sound.
"You are tickling me!" Divya laughed and tried to get her neck away from his face.
"D-divya?" Shikhar was shocked and relieved to see his love awake on his lap.
"No more 'Sweetheart'?" Divya pouted and turned her face to Shikhar's.
"Are you fine?"
"That's what I should ask you! Red eyes and red nose. You are a mess now!" Divya pinched his cheeks.
"You created this mess!"
"How?"
"You made me worried sick!"
"Did I make you both worried and sick?"
"Yes!"
"Are you implying that I am some virus that can make you sick? How mean?"
"You idiot! You just came back to life from the claws of death and you still have it in you to talk like this?"
"Exactly! I just come back to life and you call me not just a virus but also an idiot!"
"I didn't call you virus but about calling you an idiot, I am just stating facts!"
"You implied that I am a virus!"
"I didn't!"
"You did and you also accused me of making you sick!"
"That you did since long ago!"
"What? You are so mean!"
"You made me love sick!"
"How- What?" Divya blushed on hearing this and his her face in his chest.
"I fell for you the first time I saw you!"
"What?"
"After your shoot, you ensured that the tea and snacks were given to the newcomers and workers! That just pulled me to you!"
"Oh!"
"Yes!"
"How long has it been?"
"3 years!"
"What? So long?"
"Yes! I fell too hard for you!"
"Did you hurt yourself?"
"What?"
"When you fell for me?"
"I was hurt when I felt that the chances of being with you were almost zero!"
"You are dumb!"
"Why?"
"You could have confessed earlier!"
"But it's only been a day since we met and you know me!"
"No!"
"What no?"
"It's been about 2 years since I have known you!"
"What? How?"
"A specific admirer who was always the first to post anything. You saved everything of mine! In my website, we have an option to see the users who saved the images or any resources. You were the top in that list!"
"But I had a private account!"
"Not something that Romi can't hack!"
"Did you stalk me?"
"Oh, didn't you too?"
"God! You are crazy Sweetheart!"
"Crazy in love with you, darling!"
"Happy Birthday darling!"
"What?" Divya moved her eyes away from Shikhar for the first time in a while to check the time on her watch.
"It's 12:10 AM? My first birthday away from di!" A single tear drop fell from Divya's eye and ran down her cheeks.
"Happy Birthday my Sweetheart!" Shikhar wiped away her tear and fumbled his left hand to reach out something from the back seat.
He took a red cover that Divya had enquired about earlier. He took out a mini cake from it. It was a chocolate cake about a size that could be eaten lavishly by the duo.
To say that Divya was shocked was an understatement. Shikhar took out a small plastic knife and gave it to Divya.
She cut the cake with Shikhar holding her hand and singing the Happy Birthday song.
"Thankyou!" Divya cut a piece and put it into Shikhar's mouth before applying some cream onto his cheeks.
Shikhar took some cream and copied Divya's actions. He caked her case with chocolate cream. They giggled together and ate rest of the cake. They fed eachother and were truly joyful.
This was a moment to capture.
"Isn't your lap numb?" Divya asked realizing that she has been sitting there for too long.
"No! Never numb for you!"
"Cheesy!" Divya teased.
"But you like it!"
"I never said so!"
"But I can read your face!" Shikhar smirked.
"Really?"
"Yes Sweetheart!"
"Then read my face and tell me more."
On hearing this, Shikhar takes her face in his hands and gazes at it closely. His eyes were deep into hers. The brown orbs were absorbing each other's souls.
"Your face says that your heart yearns for true love. It is beating for the destiny! You have been waiting for long and it has come to an end."
"What do you mean?"
"Your beloved has come to take you!"
"It feels like you are talking about some vampire that is ready to take me away!"
"I am talking about your love and you are thinking about a vampire!"
"Cone on! You described it as if a vampire is coming for me!"
"Vampires aren't even real!"
"How dare you? Vampires are real!"
"Wait! Are you a fan of Vampire Diaries?"
"Heck yes!"
"God! One more Vampire Diary fan in my humble abode!"
"What? Why?"
"My sisters are crazy over Vpire diaries too!"
"Ok but why would I come to your house?" Divya teased.
"I was the beloved that I told you about earlier!"
"You alone can decide it?"
"No but I am sure you will agree!"
"What makes you so sure?"
"Your eyes can never lie to me?"
"Stupid eyes of mine!"
"They are the most beautiful and enchanted pair of eyes!"
"Whatever!"
"They were made for me!"
"Hey! They are mine, not yours!"
"Anything that belongs to you is mine and vice versa!"
"What? Who said that?"
"There is a saying that anything that belongs to your spouse is yours too!"
"Who in the world is your spouse?"
"You! Only you my Sweetheart!".
"Stop!"
"Stop what? Making you blush?"
"Shikhar! Don't push your luck!"
"But I am very luck around you!"
"Whatever!"
"I have something for you!"
"What?"
Shikhar took out a small gift box from the red cover and gave it to Divya. She looked at it suspiciously before opening it.
Divya was shocked.
"I didn't think I would be able to give it to you this soon!"
Divya didn't speak, she was in trance. She could hear Shikhar clearly but couldn't reply.
"Be mine Sweetheart?"
"Sorry, I can't!" Divya said.
