I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realise that my phone was ringing. I came out from my thoughts when I hear phone ringtone.

I saw it was pooja I frowned and looked at time saw it was 11:30 in the night.

Why she is calling me in this time?

I lift the call and hear her voice "rishi" she said softly "Pooja are you okay, why are you calling me in this time" I asked her.

"Relax rishi, I am fine. Come to backside of the house" she said I confused "why" I asked her "soon you will knew" she said and disconnected the call.

I got up from my bed and went to backside of the house where we once go on ride on boat.

I saw everywhere was dark but there is candle lights in lake. I hear anklet sounds coming from my back. I turn around when I see her I forgot how to breath.

She was wearing a simple saree but she looks most beautiful women for my eyes. Pooja was coming towards me each step she was taking I felt my heart beat was raising.

"Come" she said softly held my hand hand into her soft ones. I followed her we climbed on boat. She told me to drive that boat and I do as she said.

We stopped at middle of the lake she was watching stars with awe in her eyes and I was watching her. "Rishi" she called me getting up. I also got up.

"Look there" she said pointing her finger to sky I followed her finger. There fireworks started and formed letters.

It was written on with fireworks I turn my head saw pooja who is looking at me lovingly. She moved closer to me and hugged me. I felt her breath on my ear as she tiptoed "happy birthday my love" she whispered I felt shiver when her lips touched my cheek.

I knew tomorrow is my birthday and I stopped celebrating my birthday after my dad passed away but now I am so happy that pooja was celebrating my birthday because this time this was special because I am happy that she was with me.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. "What did you said" I asked her she blushed but didn't said anything.

"Pooja" I called her but she shook her head hiding her face into my neck. I smiled "thank you" i said hugging her tightly. After hugging me tightly pooja pulled back.

She took out a box and opened it. I saw there was a cake placed written 'happy birthday rishi'.

I smiled she gives me knife I was about to cut the cake she held my hand "make a wish" she said I chuckled and closed my eyes.

Don't take my pooja way from me

I opened my eyes and cut the cake and feed pooja first she also fed me. "Now where is my gift" I asked her after we seated and watching stars.

"Here" she said placing a small box in my hand I looked at her confusingly "I didn't ask this gift" I said she looked at me with frown. "Open it rishi" she said.

I opened it saw there were a ring placed. Pooja took the ring and held my hand placing it on my ring finger. "You've give me your ring to me it was my turn to give you" she said smiling at me.

I smiled as she kissing my palms and looked at me lovingly "I love you" she said my breath stopped when she spell those words from her beautiful lips.

I wasted no time to claim her lips into mine kissing her softly. She wrapped her hands around my neck as I wrapped mine around her waist pulled her to me.

I left her lips when she was breathing hardly. "This was the best birthday ever" I said she blushed closing her eyes. I hugged her tightly as she melt into my arms.

****************

We spend so much time in boat and came back to house at early morning. I bathed and came outside wearing only towel around my waist. Suddenly my door burst open and Pooja came inside but stopped in her track while seeing me.

"Rishi why didn't you lock your door" she said turning away hurriedly I chuckled "this is all yours, there is no need to shy" I said "shut up" she yelled as she pass a shopping cover.

I took it and saw there placed a sky blue shirt with black jeans. "I brought your dress" she said still closing her eyes turning away from me. "How you know my size" I asked her and stand front of her.

"Raj helped me" she said "you can open your eyes" I said as she opened but her eyes widened "Idiot" she shouted I wrapped my hands around her waist pulled her to my bare chest.

Her eyes widened and her lips parted inviting me. I wasted to no time to taste her lips again. "Rishi" she pulled back "what" I asked her kissing her lips.

"We need to go temple" she said in between kisses I groaned "fine" I said as pulled back but kissed her lips one last time.

"Go get ready" she said and went to her room. I got ready and went downstairs saw pooja was waiting for me.

"Come let's go" she said held my hand raj and sri also came with us. I parked my car and we left inside of temple.

Whole time pooja was held my hand tightly in her's. We four sat on steps for sometime.

"What you ask god that make your eyes got teary" I asked pooja who is staring at her ring. She looked at me with confusing eyes. "Do you think I don't know it" I asked her she sighed.

"I asked god to don't snatch this happiness from me" she said and held my hand. I interwind our hands "did you observe something" I asked her she shook her head negatively "what" she asked me.

"You've brought me a ring right" I asked her showing the ring which she gifted me. She nodded her head "this was matching with your ring" I said pointing her ring. "I didn't realise this. So these rings became couple rings right" she asked me with excitement.

I nodded my head "see, you even didn't realise but your heart already realise this is real and make you brought this couple ring" I said she smiled at me.

"Now our rings also got matched so why are you having so many doubts" I asked her whining she smiled and ruffled my hair. "Sorry baba I won't do this" she said. "You said this every time" I said pouting.

She laughed "you are not a baby" she said I smiled "do you know what I asked god" I asked her she shook head her negatively. "This" i said pointing her smile "this beautiful smile" I said she looked at me lovingly.

"I asked god to don't take away this beautiful smile away from your lips" I said as she held my hand more tightly.

I kissed her forehead "I love you" I said she smiled "I love you too" she said I put my forehead on her closing my eyes.
