Prompts: potatoes | blue | glass
7th February, 2024
~~~
Cool breeze flowed inside the kitchen from the window. The sky turning a bright shade of orange as the Sun was gradually setting.
The finely chopped onions, and potatoes cut in half made sizzling sounds, coming in contact with the hot oil on the saucepan.
-
"Thank you." Scorpio said as he paid the shopkeeper. Putting the box in his bag, he walked to the railway station.
-
You were busy setting the table; as your eyes wandering to the wall clock over and over again.
The restlessness in your heart increasing with each passing minute. For 3 months you have waited patiently. But now this pain feels unbearable.
Suddenly the ringing sound of the doorbell was heard. Finally, he is here.
You opened the door as rapidly as you could and hugged him tightly. Almost making him stumble.
Scorpio chuckled and picked you in his arms; tenderly kissing you.
"I missed you." you said, the overwhelming feeling of separation coating your voice. Scorpio held you against his chest,"I missed you too, love." He was better at hiding his emotions. You two stayed in each other's embrace for a few minutes, before slowly letting go.
"Something smells delicious." he commented as he walked in the living room. "It's a surprise, sir." you said jokingly. "Alright then." he replied cheerfully.
-
Scorpio walked into the dining room. His hair was still slightly wet. Few drops of water dripped down from them and soaked into his white shirt, whose two buttons from the top were kept open.
He sat down on a chair. You sat next to him.
Taking a spoonful of Biriany, he brought the spoon to his lips. Closing his eyes he softly chewed. The corner of his lips curled up,"I haven't had a home cooked meal in months", pausing to take another spoonful of Biriany in his mouth. " Thank you for cooking, love." You had known about his love for Biriany for a long time.
"I hope this is to your liking as well." saying that you filled a glass with Pomegranate juice from the pitcher.
His eyes lit up seeing the reddish liquid in the glass. Pomegranate was one of his favorite fruits, after all. And to get fresh Pomegranate juice, after three whole months of almost fasting and surviving off junk food, he indeed considered himself to be fortunate.
"I can't thank you enough." he said as he chugged down the glass of juice.
Once you two had finished eating, he helped you with washing the dishes. Deciding to continue your conversation in a much relaxed space, you lead him to your bedroom.
He wrapped his arm around you as you leaned your head against his shoulder. "How are you? How is work going on?" he asked.
"I am fine...," you sighed, "as fine as i can be without you. As for work, some students are dropping out."
"How long will you stay here?" you asked. The concern about his well-being too evident in your voice.
He remained silent for a few seconds,"Probably a week." Neither of you knew how to continue the conversation from there. He couldn't promise you anything. He knew that deep in his heart. And the one thing that you prayed for; every passing moment of the day, was his safety. That was all you wanted.
As a war correspondent, he never knew when or if he will ever see you again. Or the letter he sends to you, at the end of each month, is going to be the last one you ever receive from him. These thoughts clouded his mind, until he noticed his bag kept on the study table.
He opened the bag and took out a gift wrapped box and handed it to you. "Open it." he said.
A gorgeous silk dress, blue in colour, awaited for you. The fabric cool against your hand as you held it. " This is expensive!" you exclaimed. Your voice filled with slight panic as you knew, without a doubt, that a dress like this would cost a fortune.
"Why? How?" were the only two words that came out of your mouth.
Scorpio placed his hands on your shoulders, "Today is our 4th anniversary. I wanted to propose to you, but considering the current circumstances, i can't promise you a future... yet."
"I love you. I can't imagine a life without you. I don't know what tomorrow holds for us but for today let us be happy. " he said, holding your hands in his, trying his best to hold back the tears that threatened to overflow.
"I love you too." you said and kissed him.
The tiredness slowly desended as your eyelids started to feel heavy. He too felt the need to rest after the tiresome journey of the day.
Lying next to you, he started stroking your hair. No matter what happens tomorrow, you two will always have each other's company, with this promise you drifted off to sleep. Soon enough he fell asleep as well.
