Ehsaas-Scene V

It took Anjali 18 hours to reach New York airport. As there has being a connecting flight via Rome. It was the longest time ever she travelled but she was more content than other times when she has travelled with friends who made her feel more sick as they had long talks about their boyfriends and she had little to tell about Nihaal. She was very happy as after many days she was going back to her home. After arriving in the airport she realized that she hadn’t informed anybody about her return, she took a luxury cab and told him to take her towards countryside. They were going to the property of On Location and at last after travelling more than 1 hour. She arrived in front of a twin mansion. She paid the cab driver and took out a weird remote and pressed a key and the gate of the right-handed mansion opened. Just when she was entering a large chunk of guards came to see who’s there, bowed before her, carried her luggage to the mini battery car and drove her to the mansion. After arriving in the mansion and attended by the valets, James and Jeeves, she went to her wing and was fondly watching the enlarged photo in front of her mantel with had her and Nihaal in it. They both were dressed very causally and she was looking very glowing in the picture. She just loved this photo as this was the first photo of them after his proposal.

She prepared a surprise candlelight dinner for him and waited from him to arrive. She had made every item from her own hands even after the point that if Nihaal came to know about her cooking he will fire every servant because he did not liked the point of Anjali stressing her in household works. She prepared a lavish dinner having a starter of French onion soup and charcoal grilled vegetables, a main course of Italian dishes such as Caesar salad, ravioli pasta , Margherita pizza and crocche with English champagne and ending with her signature dish which was also his favorite sweet dish having a dark-chocolate walnut brownie sizzled with custard milk and cookies and cream ice-cream. After that she got ready for the night wearing a beautiful harem like dress. She started waiting for Nihaal who yet didn’t arrived home. She was bit shocked because generally he arrives home by 6 to 7pm. But it was 9pm, she consoled herself with the fact that he had being on holiday since many days so its probability that he would have being completing the work as according to him Anjali is not there. She asked the valets that whether he has being coming late in her absence also to which it was replied that he did came late but never was so late. She instructed them to inform her as soon as he comes till then she is resting in her room and wants no disturbance from anybody. She changed into sleep dress and lied in the bed after being travelling for 20 hours and whole day decorating the mansion and his wing, cooking has drained all the energy from her body. But the sleep was not accompanying her so at last she took out the box which had a very beautiful hand-made scrapbook titled “I and Nihaal”.The scrapbook had some beautiful moments of them caputered and some comments written by Anjali on that matters. The 1^st photo only made her weep as it was the photo her wedding with her husband and the date which was written in that was 5^th October, the next week. She had her wedding anniversary next week and here she was sitting alone without anyone waiting for her love to come whom she married 5 years ago. What change time had brought in the suitations.
