"Hushh baby...you'll soon find out," he whispered in my ears gently, "It's a surprise." He kissed my forehead lightly. His musky after-shave so near, swooned me, and I just decided to be patient. Let the surprise reveal itself bit by bit. I was in no hurry. I was so happy just to be with him again. That was enough for me for now. I pulled down the car-windows my side and felt the cool breeze whizzing past, enjoying thoroughly. He played a soft music in the car and I relaxed in my seat, with my beloved hot-driver on the wheels cruising away from the dusty-city towards the hills far-away, away from the maddening crowd. "Are you comfortable," he asked me every now and then. I nodded happily. I wanted to see the view outside, but didn't want to spoil the surprise he had planned. After some time I felt him slowing down the car a bit. "What happened honey?" I asked, not sure if we reached so soon already. "You must be hungry baby, have some of these. We'll reach in a while," he said softly, as he laid a small basket on my lap. I held the basket and tried to feel what was in it. The scent of it was too appealing and I brought it closer to my nose. Hmmm...well lemme guess what these are, I thought, good way to pass my time as I munched on. I knew they were fruits cos' they felt like and the smell it gave out was just amazing ~ subtle fruity ~ not of one, but varied. The whole car was filled with the fragrance. "Pomegranate beads, Cranberry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Thai Dragon fruit, Kiwi-Fruit, Orange, Plums and many more --- aah.. the fruits tasted yummy and smelt yummier. The fragrance they gave out all together made the car insides feel so heavenly. I'd love to buy that kinda fragrance ( if ever made ) and spray it everyday. UUUuumm..I was so lost in the exotic fruits and berries that I barely heard what he was saying. "We are nearly there, baby," he was saying. "Uh huh," I could only reply between the bites. The car took a turn and came to a halt. "We've reached sweetheart," he announced warmly, as he leaned over to remove my blind-fold. When I glanced outside, I simply couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't want to get out of the car for a while, because of the wonderful fragrance I was engulfed in the whole journey. So, it was battle of mind and heart. Well, the 'mind' won eventually and I slowly opened the car-door and rushed outside to take it all in. I didn't regret it a bit. If insides of the car was awesome, the outsides was supa-awesome. We were in the hills. What a fantastic destination to reach after that mind-blowing short journey. The place was simply breathtaking. Lush green snow-caped mountains, clouds hovering below from where we were - in high-altitude. Pine trees all around making the place so look exquisite. I could see a water-fall not far away, its waters cascading down and flowing as a rippling stream below. I was mesmerized. The air was crispy and smelt so fresh. Outside an old colonial style house ( our new love-home ), I saw a huge table laden with - yes, you guessed it right - more of the fruits I just devoured. The awesome fragrance of the luscious fruits ( specially grown in these parts, as I was informed later, solving the puzzle really of them keeping me company the entire journey ), now with the crispy freshness of the hills too makes a heady scent ~ Godrej Aer, will you make that one for me? And then, in the midst of all the awesomeness, he whispered a Very Happy Valentines day to me...that'd be music in my ears for a long time to come...
