Suddenly

Chapter 38

THIRD PERSON'S POV
Neelam looked herself in the mirror for the hundredth trying to look perfect for the special day. Today, Aryan and she were going to be bond in a relationship with a ring, it was the day of their engagement. She was really nervous, her parents weren't that convinced about the idea of giving their daughter's hand to a "cold" boy in their eyes. They thought that he wouldn't be able to understand Neelam, but little did they know that Aryan was the only person to understand her, even when she was silent. He was ready to stand next to her, trying to cheer her up and to make her feel like the most lovable girl. Everything changed when her father decided to give him a chance, after he saw the way Aryan helped everyone in the house, also because he shared same hobbies with him. However, Neelam was glad for the fact that Aryan stayed there answering their hundred questions, which she felt a little embarrassed, he never showed himself irritated about it, in fact he was just being himself, after all they were giving him their daughter.

The door slightly opened and she turned around only to find her mother looking at her with a smile. "Are you ready?" the woman asked fixing her hair and Neelam nodded slightly trying to be confident even though she was feeling like fainting in any moment. "Neelam, everything is going to be okay, dear. I will be here" her mother comforted her with an hug before going downstairs, where all the family and some guests were waiting to see the girl. As she stepped the last stairs all eyes were on her, some of them were admiring her beauty and other were asking the reason why an handsome man like Aryan was getting engaged to a simple girl like her, but she didn't care because her eyes were looking for the person she was about to be engaged. Just then, her eyes landed on a particular person who himself was now dressed formally, he was really looking good in the black suit, she mentally complimented. On the other hand Aryan couldn't take off his eyes from her, she was beautiful in his eyes, he didn't care about other people's opinion because for the first time in his life he understood the true meaning of loving someone so much that he wanted her for himself always.

As she stood in the spotlight Mr. Khan stood on the stage with a smile, he really admired Neelam, in fact for him she was like his daughter and not just a soon to be daughter in law. "Welcome everyone, thank you so much for coming to this special occasion, today as a father I am really happy and proud to announce my son's engagement. I remember when people used to tell that Aryan would never find a girl because of his cold and silent behavior, but now look..he is there standing in his black suit waiting to hold the hand of a beautiful and lovely girl, Neelam. Today two souls are going to become as one, may I present you Aryan and Neelam".

NEELAM'S POV

Aryan's dad announced with a wide smile I felt my hands getting sweaty and my feet glued on the ground as if someone was holding me back. Just then I felt someone pulling me softly to the stage by someone "It's your time, dear" I heard her comforting voice "Thank you Aunty" I whispered before taking a long breath "Oh no, don't call me Aunty anymore. I am your mum now" Aryan's mum laughed a little and I followed her. When I was about to step on the stage, Aryan took my hand in his and helped me getting on the stage. It felt like the first time that me and Aryan were holding each other's hand, his hands were warmer than mine and he seemed to notice "Are you cold?" he asked me quite worried and I shook my head "No, I think it's because of the nervousness" I told him and he tightened the hold "We can do this, just remember I love you" he whispered softly in my ear. I smiled nodding, holding his hand made my nervousness fade away like wind, I really loved him and I was ready to live the rest of my life with him. We stood up in the middle, on our left there were my parents and on the other side Aryan's family.

"Ready guys?" my dad asked us and I looked at Aryan with a smile only to realize that he was already staring at me "Ready" we both said at the same time smiling. Suddenly the light went off "Aryan?" I called him, when the light went on I found him kneeled down with a ring. I felt my heart bursting, I couldn't believe he was really going to propose me.
