Sabr ka Phal Meetha hotha hain

Finally the day has arrived when Pavan is going to return from US. This is the first time he went for a long trip leaving the family behind. I was counting the calendar days right from the moment he left. It was damn boring to live without him.

Now I understand the power of love J. When we are together we don’t care too much about each other.  We generally tend to take things for granted. But, when we are apart, the affection and love increases day by day.  I feel that sometimes a little distance is required to bring the people further closer.

Aarush also missed him very badly. This is the first time for him to stay away from dad that too for so long.

The international flight timings are generally very odd. He is supposed to arrive at 3 AM in the midnight. So, I requested my brother-in-law Pradeep to accompany me to the airport. He is a sweet person on this earth and never discourages anyone. He immediately accepted my request. He came home in the evening all set to make a stay at home tonight and go to office directly from here on the next day. I troubled him a lot for my preparations which had no end.  I made Gulab jamuns and I made all preparations to make a number of his favorite dishes for the entire week. Also we bought a bouquet to welcome Pavan at airport.

 I wanted look like an angel when I go to receive him. For the first time I concentrated on beauty and looked how to self groom. I have used my spare time at home to do some research on self grooming. I bought the minimal things required to make me look good enough. I know that beauty does not matter for love, but it definitely adds little power to love. Basically I wanted to looks somewhat “Special” for my special love!

But, I was a little worried how to manage the midnight timings for welcoming him at airport. Still I was prepared to get ready in the midnight by 1 and be there at airport by 3. While I was having my early dinner I got a call on my laptop.

When I connected to call he mentioned that his flight was overbooked and he had to stay back in Dubai airport for another 6 hrs to catch the next flight. Oh.. I have to wait for 6 more hours to meet him. The more I long to meet him, the more I have to wait. But, this wait came with 2 positives. The first one is that he got a free return ticket to Dubai. He can travel in next 1 year. The other one is that I can have a good night sleep and go to airport with more energy in the day time.

I woke up by 6 AM, made all the preparations and we were on our way to airport by 9 AM. He arrived on time, cleared all the checks and came out even before we arrived. We were there in few minutes with a bouquet and there I saw him with full energy even after a long and tiresome journey.

He saw me in the black+silver saree and said I looked gorgeous J. Oh my research did not go waste. I am happy that I could impress him. He is also in a black and white checks shirt. He too looked very handsome with a little belly bulging out from his shirt. Oh that’s ok yaar.. that is a sign of prosperity!
