First Wedding Anniversary

I am no story teller. But I wish I had the talent to convey the beauty of the situation through a short story.

2010 March 12. Its sad that our first wedding anniversary, we are not together. She is in Kochi and I am here in US. I thought I am done with all my US assignments. But bad luck. This one is short, just for 3 months. But still, not at all a good time to be living separate.

I am excited about our first wedding anniversary. You know why? Even though I am away, I have planned for a special surprise gift for her. My plan works this way. Sharp 8 PM in the night, my music player will start playing her favorite song - "Parayaade Ariyaade Nee Poyathalle, oru Vaakku Mindaanjathalle" (translation: You left me with out even telling me a word). I am sure that if she hear this song, she know where to look for my gift for her.

Friends, this is where you have to help me out. I don't know what to do. That's OK. there is nothing much I can do about this. But at least help me out advising me what to think.

I got a phone call from her an hour back. One of her close friend has come to Kochi for one day trip. He lives in Bangalore. I have always appreciated them in being good friends even after they broke up. But never bothered to ask her stories.

You know me. So by now, you should be pretty sure that I had told her to ask him to stay in our home today night in Kochi. But now I am confused and tensed. Not that I doubt my wife but because of too much of questions flooding in my mind.

Does he know that today is my wedding anniversary?

Will they be sitting and talking in the visiting room when the music player starts playing her favorite song?

Does that song has any thing to do with their past relationship?

If yes, by any chance will he thinks that she set that song up for the occasion? oh my god.

He is a good guy I know. But will he be also confused and tensed if he thinks that she set that song up?

She doesn't know that our music player is having the functionality to set up songs for a future date. But she know for sure that anyone can set up songs for a future time same day. Will she be confused and tensed too?

I am sure that I am just a stupid to think all these.. but can't help !

Ya, I Too Feel The Casablanca Hang Over, Anyway Good One. Your Standard of Thoughts Improved Quiet A Bit. But I Feel, Those Electronic Stuffs, I Mean Capabilities of Your Music Player Etc. may disturb the artistical nature of the story. :)

@thripthy, @Kavi

Kando... ithaaanu ee streekalude prasnam. When a husband thinks or tell something honestly from his heart, they will always have a background thread running in their mind while they listen.
"Is he telling this because he is having samshaya rogam?"
