Holi celebration was in full swing at the Oberoi Mansion. The Obahu's put in extra effort this year managing all the decor and food. Throughout the entire day she enjoyed spreading colors all over her love ones as well as dancing to her heart's content because chances of letting loose like this was not easy to come by. She knew that today was going to be perfect the moment Om had cupped her face this morning leaving a red palm print on both her cheeks. Gauri noticed how Om was enjoying himself because whenever he applied color on her it was the same look he has when working on any art project "Om you must really love art. Even on Holi you paint my white kurti so beautifully." With each color Om would blend it nicely, starting with her arms he pick a blue shade and blending a bit of yellow at the end of the sleeves. Grabbing her waist he took a shade of purple to create the most stunning design. Using his fingers he created streams coming from her waist down to the end of her Kurti. And last but not least he took her favorite color red and spread it around her neck. "You look beautiful Gauri." Gauri grabs her favorite color and puts her palm print over Om's heart "I may not be artistic as you Omkaraji but today I will have a surprise for you." "Oh?" Before shyly turning away to join the rest of the family "Tonight when everyone is asleep come to the backyard." Gauri was nervous just thinking about what she had plan for her Omkaraji that she drank quite a bit of bhang to relax. Being from Bareilly her tolerance for the concoction was pretty high. As her mood relax her dance moves became more sensuous forcing Om to now and then pull her away from the crowd. Holding on to her waist and in his husky voice "If you dance like that I might have to just take you back up to our room..Gauri." With her glossy eyes she met with Om's gaze "You can't. You have to see my surprise first."

Finally night had arrived and everyone was asleep. A servant came to Om to remind him that his wife is waiting for him out back. Om smiled and ordered everyone to leave as he excitedly headed towards his wife. Tonight the full moon was shining exceptionally bright and the night breeze felt wonderful against his skin. As he came closer to the designated place he saw a large but thin white fabric propped up as if it was a screen and beside it were flickering candles to highlight the silhouette behind it.

"Gauri?"

"Omkaraji. Stand right there."

"But I want to see you." Gauri softly chuckled "And you will."

With just a bit of moonlight to shine onto the thin fabric and the silhouette of his wife behind it Om had to admit this was causing his heart to race. Soft music began to play as the figure behind the screen started to dance. With her bare feet she would dip it in watercolor while she dance. Painting the white fabric as she glide bare feet against it and using her fingers she made streaks of all kinds as she lightly leap and twirled. Om was speechless. Seeing only her silhouette and the colors that she had painted on the thin fabric made him feel as though he was being hypnotized. With her adding bells to her ankles she was like an egyptian goddess trying to lure him closer. Suddenly a gust of wind blew causing the fabric to sway upward giving Om a glimpse of his wife. With her hands twisting in the air full of color and her hips swaying back and forth for a moment Om forgot to breathe. But the wind was not his friend tonight as fast as it blew it also stopped causing the fabric to drop back down. Om slowly approached the fabric and moved just to see his wife dancing around lighted candles with colors on her bare feet as well as the palms of her hands. Gauri was so deep into her performance that she hadn't noticed Om staring at her until she felt someone grab her hand. Next thing she new she was in his embrace with his eyes digging deep into her. "Omkaraji! the song hasn't ended yet." Om brushed her hair to the side and with out any words he lifted her up into his arms "If I wait any longer we would not make it to our bedroom." Seeing his hunger for her Gauri could only hide her face against his chest. "Did you like the surprise?" Holding her tighter "I will show you how much I loved it." Blushing even more Gauri held on tighter whispering "Happy Holi Om."
