Chocolate day

Armaan was all set, tying his seatbelts in his car with a pout, "Today I'm not going to surprise her, and this is her time"

And he drove off for the Sanjeevani.

Shilpa too was feeling blissful when the roses and proposal of lifetime commitment of Armaan were revolving around a picture of love and harmony in front of his eyes. 

She pressed her lips and drove off while whispering in a naughty tone, "Just wait and watch Mr. Fianc, how this chocolate day going to be", and she giggled.

Armaan reached the nurse station and asked about Shilpa, "Where is Dr. Shilpa?"

"She is busy in an emergency case Sir!", the nurse answered and grinned while offering his new case file.

Armaan departed towards his cabin with a disappointment and with his turned back, nurse grinned.

Armaan threw the file on his table and while sitting on the chair he blabbered with a gloomy face, "Emergency! Am I not an emergency?"

And he started reading his case file and found an envelope in it.

He opened it and found a letter inside it.

He flipped the letter to search was anything else written on the letter but he found nothing.

Armaan mumbled in his mind with a grin, "Ab to dhoondhna hi padega tumhe"

Armaan was eagerly waiting for the first clue but in the whole day he found nothing, so he entered inside the locker room, to take the exit from the hospital in the evening.

"When will I get the clu--", but before he could complete himself he found an old and pale wrapper of a chocolate bar with an envelope.

He shuffled the wrapper and realized that it was the wrapper of the first chocolate which he has gifted to her in high school.

His eyes became moist with her affection even with the wrapper of the chocolate bar which he has given to her. Pressing his lips, he finally opened the envelope and read the message,

Armaan was now confused with the first clue as he didn't understand even a single word of the riddle. It was very hard for him to crack the puzzle, so he started dotting the words,

"What is this? Wrapper..activity...adventure, kya--", he started trying to crack the riddle and finally he found his answer, "wrapper + activity + adventure = Activity room"

"I've gifted the first chocolate bar to her in the adventure activity of the high school, yes!", he jumped with victory and ran towards the activity room.

Armaan entered the activity room of the Sanjeevani and found everything was a complete mess. He got confused to start from which point he realized that a reflection was disturbing in his eyes.

He turned in the direction of reflection and found the mirror on which the down arrow was drawn by a marker.

He ran towards the mirror and found a photo frame of their college time while licking chocolate ice-creams with a book in his hands, whereas Shilpa has rested her head on his shoulder.

He laughed looking at the topper of the class, Shilpa while taking rest before the exams and the average student of the college, who was cramming before an hour of the exams.

He realized that with the flow of memories and forgot about the present, so he immediately grabbed the envelope and snatched the letter out.

"What the hell Shona! I know this already, what is new?", he sulked but with pouted mouth completed himself, "Tumne likha hai to zaroor kuch meaning hoga"

"locha...mystery...chemistry..kya?", he shuffled his hairs in confusion and the complication of the puzzle.

He almost took 10 to 15 minutes and finally dotted the words, "Chemistry + Mystery + locha = Chemical locha...it's chemistry lab"

"Yes it is!!", Armaan sighed out loudly as he to solve the last riddle and he could easily found his lady love.

So he left the activity room to reach the path lab.

Armani entered inside the pathology laboratory and found few doctors already experimenting. So he maintained the silence and start searching for the clue without breaking silence.

He shuffled his few files and from one of them finally, he found the red and last envelope. 

"Kya? What the kuch bhi clues hain koi sense hi nahi banta ansuon ka theif? And what will I do with handker--", but before he could complete himself, he cracked her last puzzle.

He slowly joint the words, "Ansu + Handkercheif + theif = Terrace"

And he smiled widely while picking a card from his file which was kept along with the envelope. And he continued loudly, "I'm coming Shona! I'm coming to you"

The path lab in charge threw him out of the path lab at such a loud noise but he didn't care and ran towards the terrace.

Shilpa was lighting the candle of the table kept on the corner of the terrace, when Armaan entered. He couldn't keep his eyes from her when he saw her in a red and white summer dress.

He shifted his eyes all around and noticed the lights and candles which were hanging on the roof and kept aside. He fell his eyes on the table and found a tray which was covered with a lid.

Armaan opened the lid and found umpteenth chocolates in different shapes and sizes. He deeply looked into her eyes and untied her hairs and nuzzled in her hairs.

"Not bad at all would be Mrs. Mallik", he stepped back and winked.

At which Shilpa's cheeks turned into a crimson red shade and with a light smile she answered, "Happy Chocolate Day! Mr. Fianc", and forwarded a chocolate box of infinite chocolates.

"Liked the surprise", she asked with hesitation.

"Like? I loved it but not more than YOU", he emphasized the word you and picked the chocolate piece from the box and had it.

But he forwarded his half eaten lava chocolate in her direction and she blushingly had it too. But a little amount of lava from the chocolate remained on her lower lip.

He tried to show that from his finger but not clearly so she didn't succeed in it. 

Shilpa pouted a little and asked, "Where it is?"

"Here", he wiped the lava from her lower lips through his thumb and licked it.

Shilpa hid her face a little with her palm whereas Armaan finished the rest chocolate piece and winked with a naughty grin on his lips
