I paced up and down my room, anxiety gripping every part of my body. Beads of perspiration appeared on my forehead and I nervously fidgeted with my hands.

"Calm down Anjali, everything will be fine", Rohan said in a calm voice but his calm presence couldn't reduce my stress.

"I am so scared Rohan", I gripped my mobile as hard as I could.

"You will break your phone. Come sit here", he motioned me to sit beside him.

"I am scared."

"You will do well."

Results are something which can make even the most bold person sweat in anxiety.

"I can't wait any longer. Will I be able to occupy any rank?"

"Why are you worrying so much Anjali? This is not even your final semester."

"I badly want a rank and the internship offer too."

"You will do well, just stay calm."

Two more hours passed as I waited for my results to pop on the screen.

"Give me your phone. Let me check for you."

Two minutes later Rohan's face lit up. I studied his expressions with fear and anxiety.

Finally what seemed like an eternity he spoke, "you have done well Anjali."

"What's my rank?"

"Second, congratulations. "

Finally I could release my breath. I crashed on the couch as relief washed over me.

"I am glad you did it", Rohan said but a painful expression washed over his face.

"Aren't you happy for me?", I held his face within my palms.

"I am very happy for you Anjali.. but"

"But what?"

"Do you realise what does this mean?"

I realised what Rohan meant to say. I am the second rank holder. The top three rank holders will have the priviledge of going to Germany for the internship.

"Yeah, I can understand."

"You will be away from me Anjali", he spoke without looking at me.

"For three months."

"Its a very long time. I have never spent a day away from you."

"This is going to be too difficult for us."

"We will manage somehow." Rohan pulled me in a tight hug and we stayed like that for sometime.

Distances can make love stronger if its true.

I consoled myself with the quotes and yet it didn't relieve me much.

"Get ready, we are going out."

"Where?"

"Surprise. I have some official work. I will return within two hours."

Only two weeks... and then I have to be away from him for three months.

This is my dream, isn't it? An internship in Germany. I can't leave it. Never! I have to do it!

Breaking the trail of thoughts which flocked my mind I decided to get ready for the surprise.

I chose a grey georgette saree for myself which was as light as feather. I let my hair fall down my shoulders in light ripples. I drew a near to perfect eye liner and waited for Rohan.

"You look gorgeous as always."

Like everytime blood rose in my cheeks and I blushed.

I will miss this for the next three months!

"Lets go."

"Where are you taking me?"

"You will like it. Don't worry."

"I like eveything you do for me, but give me some hints", I said with a pouted face.

"No hints. I will blindfold you."

"What?"

"Yes. You will be blindfolded till we reach there."

He blindfolded me slowly with a thick ribbon. I hoped for some flaws so that light would enter from the sides but the fold was so thick I experienced nothing but complete blackness.

"I can't see anything", I complained.

"This means I am good in tying blindfolds", he chuckled.

The blackness and the suspense of his next move sent chills down my back.

"My sweet little doe, don't try to cheat else the consequences won't be good", he placed a soft kiss on my cheeks which made me feel giddy as well as dissapointed.

I can't see anything and I can't kiss him back.

He took my hand in his and guided me towards the car.

"Just a few minutes of patience." I heard the closing of car door and my heart started beating faster in anticipation.

"How long?"

"A few more minutes."

Every passing minute felt like eternity as my eyes longed to see him and the busy roads of Kolkata. After our honeymoon in Paris this is the first time we are going out after about three months.

Stupid! You can't tolerate that you cant see him driving for twenty minutes and you are planning to spend three months without being close to him?

He looks hot while he drives.

And hotter when he is on top of you.

I stopped my mind from getting distracted and tried to focus on the date night.

"We are almost there... a bit of more patience."

"Okay.."

"The traffic is heavy which is making it take longer."

I waited patiently, my mind occassionally wandering in Germany and coming back to Rohan..

Within a few months our love has soared to great heights. It has taken increased in magnitude and intensity with every passing day just like e^x curve. Will it remain the same or will it start flattening like the logarithmic curve?

"We have reached", Rohan took my hand in his and helped me move out of the car.

"Open your eyes when I say."

As I opened my eyes slowly my jaw dropped in awe. I never thought even in my wildest dreams that my husband will be so romantic in arranging dates.

"I love you Anjali."

"I love you Rohan", I said trying to absorb everything in my heart.

The candles burnt lighting the place in a beautiful glow. The stars and moonlight made the place look like heaven. It was warm cozy and so heart touching.

"Surprise dosen't end here. This is for you." Rohan handed me a bouquet of red roses, the reddest of all I have seen. The fragrance hit my nostrils even without bringing the flowers near me.

"These roses resemble my love for you. My heart is dyed red in love with your name."

Tears of happiness wetted my eyes and I moved forward to hug him.

"Wait, its not over."

He handed me a bouquet of sunflowers, the yellow coloured petals were the brighest I have ever seen.

"This resembles a loyal love. I will always be loyal to you Anjali."

I couldn't utter any word and just nodded at him.

He handed me a bouquet of irises. "This resembles my deep trust in you. I trust you Anjali."

"I love you so much. I trust you. I will always be loyal to you", tears of happiness streamed down my eyes. "You are the best decision of my life."

Germany can be my dream but he is my everything.

"I can't stay away from you. I will deny the internship."

"No Anjali you wont. We will do this together. I want to see you achieving your dreams."

My heart melted once again.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

We lay together in perfect solace watching the dark moonlit sky. Love spares nobody! Not even Diana, the moon goddess. I am just a human.

"I have something more. It will make your jaw drop", he said with a genuine smile.

Little does he know his romantic ideas makes my jaw drop and his smile makes my heart stop...

Think straight!

I chided myself.

"You are blushing, may I know what is going on in that pretty brain of yours?"

"Nothing much", as I leaned forward to peck his lips.
