Love me like you do! Part 3
Sharon kept an observant eye for few days then on. She wanted to see who this mystery man is. She was a bit scared too. "What if he is a stalker?", she had mixed thoughts about it.
"Jesus, save me", she crossed herself twice.
It was Valentine's the next day. Alia had dressed up in a red dazzling one piece dress. "She has a date with Abhay, obviously", Sharon thought. Sharon was dressed just like any other normal day. "There's nothing for you to celebrate today", her soliloquy, roasting herself.
When she reached her desk, she was overjoyed. There was a bouquet of red roses aesthetically decorated with a 'Happy Valentines Day' note. However, her excitement got crushed with the ambiguous thoughts.
She rushed to the lobby to see if she could spot the person, but in vain.
"Wow Sharon! This is beautiful ", Alia exclaimed. "Abhay dekha, aise karte hai Valentine wish", she poked Abhay.
"Open your drawer sweety", Abhay said.
Alia jumped with elation, "A Ferrero Rocher box", she hugged Abhay.
Abhay blushed and seeing their PDA (Public Display of Affection), Sharon clenched her forehead.
Sharon held the bouquet in her hand and wished it to be a Prince of her dreams and not a stalker. A note fell down from the bouquet. She opened the note, it read, "Can you come to the terrace?"
Sharon was flabbergasted.
"What should I do?", she asked Alia showing her the note.
"Don't worry, Abhay and me will follow you. Let us find out who this mystery man is", Alia affirmed.
Sharon, hesitantly, reached the terrace. Her heart was racing now. The terrace door was wide open. Alia and Abhay stood by the door.
A tall man was standing near the banister. His back was visible to Sharon. He seemed well built. Sharon awkwardly said, "Excuse me...who...". And the man turned around.
"Sean?", Sharon was surprised to see her college mate here, dressed in a daper suit with hands in his pockets, looking all cool."What are you doing here?", she blurted.
"Hi, Sharon, so you recognised me?", Sean said. He had this brightly lit up face. He seemed more like a Prince, as his stature basked in the sun's golden rays.
"Yes, Ofcourse. We studied in the same college. But how...why are you here? And this bouquet and note...?", she asked, utterly confused.
"Sharon, let me cut the chase, I've always liked you. Since the college days. But I was a nobody then. I wanted to be successful before I could ask you out. And now I'm here", Sean smiled.
"But in my office? You don't work here..then?", Sharon was still befuddled.
"I'm one of your clients. Nathan helps me with my projects and that's how I saw you few months ago in the office. You had also been to my office, remember the S.S Associates documents you handed over at my office reception?", Sean said.
"Oh yes! So S.S. Associates is your firm? You are one of our important clients?", Sharon could figure out some things now.
"I've been stalking you for a while, I'm sorry Sharon. By stalking I mean, I wanted to know more about you, like, have you changed after the college? But the jasmine fragrance reminded me how you hated it since college. I requested Nathan to change it to lavender. I overheard you talking about not having breakfast and I quickly ordered the takeaway from nearby Mcdonald. So you still love those burgers hmm? The bandaid, the invite, everything was me. How could I let you miss your favourite artist's exhibition? You used to hang out in Flair so often during college days.", Sean was sharing his side of the story.
"I wanted to know if there was someone else in your life. But when I confirmed that there was nothing between Nathan and you, I decided to express my feelings to you in person".
Now, the picture was evident. All the pieces had fallen into the right spot and puzzle was finally solved.
Sharon had tears in her eyes. How could someone love her that immensely and for so long? This was the 'truly, madly deeply', love she had always wanted. This Prince had kissed the Snow-White by his mere words and awakened her from the deep slumber.
"Sharon will you be my Valentine? And my forever?", Sean click opened an elegant box. It had a tiny chain with the initial 'S'.
Sharon smiled, wiping her tears she nodded a 'Yes'.
"Both of you, who are hiding there can come out now", Sean announced.
Alia and Abhay hesitantly stood in front of Sean. "Sorry, we were just trying to protect Sharon", they said.
"It's okay guys. Please click a picture of us as I put this chain around Sharon's neck", Sean requested Abhay.
"May I?", Sean asked. Sharon giggled and turned around. It was the happiest day of her life. She mumbled, "Man, I regret not getting properly dressed up this morning, thinking there's no celebration for me".
And they all had a hearty laugh.
