He came home after work, tired of working all day. Reclining in the lounge on the chair was her wife, Elena, reading "Pride & Prejudice". Adam asked for what's cooking in reply to which Elena said, casually sipping her tea from the side-table," I'll get it ready for u in a minute. You go and wash up." They had been together for 5 years now and the way they loved each other was something unique in itself. To sit together for hours working on their own but having such sense of satisfaction to be together that one can rarely imagine. Such people do not have to say anything much. They just understand each other at an entirely next level. After dinner, Adam sat in the lounge for the evening show while Elena finishes up the dishwashing. "Something's coming up honey, pretty soon", Adam said with a strange smile that made Elena curious," What do u think ?" Elena replied as if she didn't care," I don't know what you have gotten yourself into this time." " Maybe I should start making amends now for the good of us", Adam rolled over the quilt and turned off the lights. Next day Elena saw off Adam to work. She milled about the house pondering over what Adam had said last night. " Why would he say that ? What's wrong with us that needs to be rectified ?" She couldn't focus on the freelance project either because of yesterday's remarks. Adam would never say such a thing without purpose because he is a silent man, one who won't talk until utmost necessary. Elena's phone beeped. A pushup message displayed debitting of £1500 from the couple's joint account. She now got more than tense that she called her boyfriend and asked that what the hell was going on. He said curtly," None of your business", and hung up. Later that evening, silence prevailed over the dining table. Next morning, Adam woke up early and went to work without breakfast. Elena, still lost and concerned over the ongoing clash, did the household chores. She thought," Work would have been a better excuse, but, minding my own business ? Huh ? O God which part of the puzzle am i missing ?" Elena felt a chill seeping across her body as if something's up. But what is it ??? What was going to happen that evening was going to change her life forever. Elena had just taken a bath and was working on the dull history project about 'Changes in Central Asia over Western Invasions', when the bell rang. She went across the foyer to open the smoky brown door. Adam was there standing, in black suit with red tie just perfectly matching the shirt that was neatly tugged in, with a rainbow coulured bouquet in one hand and the office bag in another. Elena was taken aback. She couldn't figure out anything. Adam put the bag on the lounge sofa, turned to Elena, and bent on his knees. "Hell nooo !!!! Whattt !!!", she exclaimed in her head. Adam produced a small box out of his right pocket and opened it before Elena. It was a diamond ring, more beautiful than ever could be. He didn't need to say the magical words because Elena was already approving with her hand to her mouth as if the world had gone bizarre. She was now unaware of everything but her darling, how gorgeous he looked, shying so much that could hardly even look up. "Would you like to become the queen of my life ?" It was enough for Elena to hop over and hug him very tightly. Then he wore her the ring, and guess what ? The next week they got married in church before all family and friends, expressing nothing but pure love, and lived happily ever after then.....
