Chapter 197 - How Things Fell Apart (Flashback 1) (2/2)

I played with the button of his white shirt as I avoided his playful gaze. Taking into consideration the event that followed the whole day, I could not help but feel jittery.

”As you wish my love… but then you'll have to give me an hour.”

Eshan held the wrist of my hand which was toying with that damn button. My ears perked at his request for an hour. Why was he asking for it?

Eshan kissed the inside of my wrist. ”Won't you look at me?”

I finally raised my eyelashes and took look at the handsome face of my husband. Every time I looked at those deep eyes, I could not help but find myself sinking more and more in his love.

He had that charismatic personality where one could not help but fall for him, unrestrained.

Eshan's lips curved into that breath-taking smile.

”What do you want to do?” I sighed helplessly. In front of this man, I could not hold my bearings much less any protest. I could only go with what he wanted and desired.

My mind would not let me be ease until I complied with his wishes.

He moved his hand to the table and pressed a button. The slow music suddenly started playing in the silent room.

Candles, incense stick, romantic atmosphere and now music?

I could not understand what exactly he wanted to do. Nonetheless, I gave in and waited for what would follow after this.

Eshan placed a slow kiss on the insides of my wrist again as he finally pulled back and leisurely stood up. I recognized the tune playing. It was an old song from Amir Khan's movie, 'Raja Hindustani'.

Eshan forwarded his hand and gestured me to take it. He seemed to be having planned something very special. I wondered why though. For a life of me, I could not think of the reason. It was as if there was something very important which I should have remembered but I failed in doing so.

”I don't know how to dance,” I said once I stood up taking hold of his outstretched hand.

Eshan just smiled in response. He wrapped both hands around my waist. He started swaying both of us slowly as the music continued. I could not hear any lyrics and it was all purely music without any words.

I was puzzled.

”Am I forgetting something?” I asked him as I kept my hands on his shoulders.

”Happy sixth month wedding anniversary, love,” Eshan wished as he leaned down to place a kiss on my forehead.

My jaw dropped. How could I forget something so important? Hopeless, I was truly a hopeless person.

Just as I was about to wish him the music was cut off abruptly and instead of it ringtone indicating an incoming call rang.

Who could be calling him so late?
