Recap: Pugazh arrives with family to Vikram Mansion. Vikram and Pugazh were busy planning something.
************************************
Sana was sleeping peacefully while Vikram admired her. His phone buzzed with a call from Pugazh, reminding him to start their plan. Smiling, Vikram gently woke Sana from her sleep.
“What happened, Vikram? Please let me sleep,” she mumbled, turning away.
“Hey, wifey…” he called in his deep, husky voice.
Sana could no longer sleep. She sat up with a pout.
Vikram chuckled. “You look too cute with that pout.”
“Did you wake me up just to say this?” she asked, rubbing her eyes.
“No…” He glanced at the clock on the wall and smiled as it struck twelve. “Happy birthday, wifey.” He kissed her forehead and cheeks gently.
Sana’s eyes welled up with happy tears. Hugging him, she whispered, “Thank you, thank you so much, Vikky. But how did you know it’s my birthday today?”
Vikram smirked. “How could I forget this day? It’s the day my soul met yours. Now come on, let’s go downstairs and get some milk for you. Did you forget what Mom told you?”
Vikram carried her downstairs. The floor was in complete darkness.
“Vikram, why is it so dark?” Sana asked, clutching his shirt.
“Maybe the maid forgot to turn on the lights before retiring for the day,” he said casually.
“Vikky…” she called softly.
“Yes, Sunshine?”
She leaned in and whispered, “I love you.”
Vikram’s lips curled into a smile as he whispered back, “I love you too.”
“Why do you whisper, Vikky?”
“Nothing, just like that, baby.”
“Why don’t you say it aloud like me?” she teased.
With that, she suddenly screamed, “I LOVE YOU, HUBBY!”
At that moment, the lights turned on, revealing her father, Rakshat, Sam, Pugazh, Pavi, and Amma standing before her. She gasped, feeling completely embarrassed.
“Oh my God, Vikk! Why didn’t you tell me they were here? I feel so embarrassed now!” she whined, covering her face.
Vikram laughed. “That’s okay, love. But I’m so happy to hear that.”
Pugazh smirked. “Dude, do you have plans to carry her in your arms the whole night?”
Vikram chuckled and gently set her down. Everyone wished her a happy birthday. Overwhelmed, Sana smiled as she looked at the decorated house and the effort everyone had put in for her.
Rakshat brought a cake, and Sana cut it, feeding Vikram the first bite before sharing it with everyone.
Krishnan stepped forward. “Happy birthday, Sana. Be happy always. I only want to see this smile forever.” He handed her a box. “These are your mother’s diamond jewels. She chose each piece for you, intending to give them to you after your marriage. Now, they belong to you.”
Tears filled Sana’s eyes as she held the jewelry, cherishing her mother’s memory.
Rakshat gifted her a platinum watch with diamonds embedded in it. “Happy birthday, Sana.”
Sam grinned. “Happy birthday, crazy. A small gift for you.” He handed her a box filled with her favorite chocolates and macarons.
Pugazh stepped forward. “Happy birthday, my dear sister. Here’s my gift—I hope you’ll love it.” He handed her a small box containing a delicate gold anklet.
Pranitha smiled. “Happy birthday, cutie pie.” She gifted Sana a beautiful satin gown.
Amudha handed her a silk saree. “Happy birthday, dear.”
Feeling overwhelmed with love, Sana thanked everyone.
Pugazh turned to Vikram. “What about your gift for your wife?”
Vikram smirked. “Happy birthday, baby. Shall we take a look at your birthday gift?”
Curious, Sana nodded. Vikram led everyone to the second floor, stopping in front of a room wrapped with a ribbon.
“Sana, do the honors,” Vikram said.
Sana cut the ribbon and stepped inside. Her breath hitched as she took in the sight before her. The room was transformed into a music haven—decorated with musical themes and filled with all her favorite instruments. At the center of the room, a large portrait of her adorned the wall.
She turned to Vikram, tears brimming in her eyes. “Do you like it, love?” he asked softly.
“I love it. Thank you so much, Vikram. I love you so much!” she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him.
They spent the night enjoying the celebration before retiring to their room.
The next morning, Vikram woke first as usual and got ready. He gently woke Sana. “Wake up, love. Everyone’s waiting for us. Get ready.”
Sana refreshed herself and returned to see a gift box on the bed. Opening it, she found a stunning saree with a note that read: This saree wanted to be beautiful, so I am presenting it to you, as it will be truly beautiful when you wear it.
Blushing, she changed into the saree. When Vikram entered the room, he was left speechless.
“Beautiful… No, you look gorgeous, love. How about we stay in today?”
Sana giggled. “Why? I thought you had plans?”
“Yes, but I could stay back just to admire you.”
“Cheesy…”
“I mean it, baby. My heart skipped a beat.”
After breakfast, Vikram revealed his plan. “First, I’ll take her to the temple, then to the orphanage, just like she does every year.”
Sana blinked in excitement.
Rakshat smiled. “You love birds carry on with your plan. We don’t want to disturb you.”
Sana protested, “No, you won’t disturb us! Please stay back.”
Sam shook his head. “No, Sana. Bro is right. You must enjoy your day.”
After they left, Vikram and Sana visited the temple, then headed to the orphanage, where the children squealed with excitement upon seeing them.
“Sister, won’t you play with us today?” a little girl asked.
Vikram grinned. “How about I join you all?”
Sana watched in amazement as Vikram played with the children, carrying a baby in his arms and making her giggle.
After spending hours there, they returned home. Amudha insisted Sana rest, preparing a healthy lunch for her, including soup, dal, vegetables, and sweets.
Later, as Sana slept, Vikram watched her, unable to resist admiring her beauty. When she woke, she caught him staring.
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, yawning.
“I never get tired of looking at you, baby.”
She threw a pillow at him, making him chuckle.
“Alright, Mom got milk for you. Finish it off,” he said.
After she drank it, Vikram smirked and wiped her lips with his thumb, making her blush.
“Now, get ready. I have another surprise for you.”
Sana gasped. “Another one? But Vikky, I wanted to ask you, why do you go to the orphanage?”
Vikram’s eyes softened. “Because today is my mom’s birthday too.”
Sana smiled. “Wow, your wife and mom share the same birthday. That’s super cool!”
“Yes, my dear wifey. Now, get ready.”
Sana went to freshen up and returned to find a gift box placed neatly on the bed.
“What have you got now?” she asked, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
Vikram leaned against the dresser, a playful smirk on his face. “That you’ll know when you open it.”
Eagerly, she untied the ribbon and lifted the lid. Her eyes widened as she pulled out an exquisite pink gown adorned with delicate embellishments, accompanied by matching accessories.
“Wow… this is so beautiful!” she gasped, running her fingers over the fabric. “You’ve already given me enough surprises, Vikram.”
“Nothing is too much when it comes to my angel,” he said, his voice warm. “I’ll never get tired of surprising you.”
She smiled, touched by his words. “Thank you. I’ll get ready now.”
Vikram stepped closer, lowering his voice. “I can help, you know.”
Sana’s cheeks flushed a deep pink. She swatted his arm playfully, making him chuckle. In return, he gently pinched her nose, enjoying the sight of her blushing.
“Okay, okay. Get ready and wait for me,” he said, finally stepping back.
As she changed into the gown, Vikram informed Pugazh about his plans for the evening. Once he was ready, he returned to their room and paused at the doorway.
Sana stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her earrings, looking nothing less than a dream. The soft glow of the lights highlighted her delicate features, and the gown hugged her perfectly.
“Vikky…” she called, sensing his presence.
But Vikram remained silent, lost in admiration. His gaze never wavered as he took in the breathtaking sight before him.
She turned and found him standing still. Frowning, she waved her hand in front of his face. “Vikram?”
He finally blinked, his voice coming out in a hushed whisper. “You are… breathtakingly beautiful. My heart is so weak, wifey.”
Sana laughed softly. “If my husband is so handsome, I have to put in some extra effort to match him, right?”
Vikram shook his head with a fond smile. “Shall we leave? I can’t wait to show you your surprise.”
She slipped her hand into his, trusting him completely. “Where are we going?”
“Nowhere,” he said, his lips curving into a teasing grin. “Just… home.”
She narrowed her eyes. “You wanted me to dress up just to stay home?”
“Wouldn’t you do that for me, baby?”
She sighed, rolling her eyes affectionately. “Did I ever deny you, hubby?”
His smile deepened at her words. Without another word, he gently tied a soft blindfold over her eyes.
“Hey! Why are you blindfolding me?” she protested.
“It’s a surprise, love. Have patience,” he whispered against her ear.
Carefully, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the lift. They ascended to the seventh floor of their mansion, where the terrace awaited. As they reached the destination, he placed her on her feet and untied the blindfold.
Slowly, Sana opened her eyes.
The moment she took in the scene before her, her breath hitched. Her hands flew to her mouth as a gasp escaped her lips.
She was flabbergasted.
