Agni- The Dragon King

Two Proposals

Jwala POV

That demonically, horifically cruel man! Because of him, I am already late to go to fetch water, why god why, why are people so cruel, he killed the bird without any remorse, and was on about, who he was, well atleast I defined him right, Jwala be proud of yourself

I was filling water from the well, cursing that cruel man, when I felt a tap on my shoulder

"Oh hi, sambit, what are you doing here? " I asked, her friend was looking nervous for some reason, he was shuffling on his feet, while making a ball of his fists

"Sambit, is everything alright? " I asked little concerned now

"Can we talk "

"Sure, say"

"In private"

"Why, what's the problem here? "

Sambit waved his hand, as to show the whole environment near the well.

As expected, all the aunties, were staring at them with great interest, as if they had discovered a new species of mankind.sigh.

"Alright, let me just inform my mother"

"She already knows." Sambit said in a serious tone, seriously what was up with him?

"Where do you want to go? "

"To the pond? "

"NO!!! "

"Why are you shouting Jwala? "

looking at sambit's shocked expression, I felt little bad

"It is just I have had a very bad experience there recently "

"What bad experience? "

"Just some high and mighty jerk, who was demonically, horifically cruel! " I did not know when I started getting so worked up

"Anyway, there is no other place to talk in peace, I am sure that person might have left already "

"Hmm" there was no reason to pollute her favourite spot because of one person, who was not even worth it

They walked in silence towards the pond, she could feel Sambit fidgeting beside her, she was not sure what had worked her friend to this state.

"Sambit you can tell me anything " I cajoled as they were walking

"Let's wait till we reach the pond"

"okay"

As they were nearing the pond it seemed, Sambit was about to burst from anxiety.

The moment they reached the pond, Sambit suddenly went down on his knees

oh my god! did he also got shot? Is that demonically, horifically cruel person still here?

"Sambit, Sambit get up! Did you also get shot? are you hurting Anywhere? " I asked worried, as I inspected him for injuries

"No, No Jwala listen! " he caught both her hands in his, and kissed them

What the hell was he doing? did he visit a bar or something?

"Jwala, my love, I have always liked you more than a friend, will you marry me and be my wife? "

I bent down, closer to Sambit and sniffed! He was definitely drunk, but he was not reeking of alcohol, what special kind of alcohol was this?

She could see Sambit's eyes going glassy and unfocused as she bent down towards him to sniff, he was definitely under the influence of something potent
