Forever Yours

Part 32

"Will you marry me?"

Karan looked at her shocked and in tears. Preeta looked at him expectantly. Karan opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't know what to say since he was so overwhelmed with his feelings.

"Bajarbattu, give me an answer. My knee is starting to pain." Preeta said, chuckling nervously but inside she was scared.

What if he rejects her proposal? Did he really wanted to marry her or was it too soon? What if he was not ready for this step?

As if knowing what was going through her mind, Karan kneeled down also and held her face in his hands. He pressed his lips on her forehead, giving her a long kiss. Preeta closed her eyes, embracing the warmth she felt from him. Karan pulled away from her and gave her a teary smile.

"You got me in tears Kareli." Karan said, wiping his tears. Preeta chuckled.

"When we met the first time, I can never forgot that scared expression you had on your face. I was already blown away from your beauty and when you opened your eyes and they met mine, I swear time stopped. There were just you and me and my heart who was beating loudly while I was feeling nervous for I don't know what reason.

For some reason, when you said sorry, your voice was so sweet that I was again blown away. I was confused about these unknown feelings and I ended being a jerk to you. But I never expected you to talk back to me and this was a blow to my ego. I thought that was the last time I would saw you but who would thought I would see you again later that day.

Sameer told me to be civil with you since you were Ananya Bhabhi's younger sister and he saw how much she loves you so he warned me against misbehaving with you. We tried to be civil but we always end up fighting. You were annoying to me at first but later I found joy in annoying you. You make the first step towards friendship and I couldn't just ignore it. We would be relatives after-all so why not?

It was the best decision of my life. I don't even know when you become my best-friend, my confidant, my everything. Every decision I take, I must get your advice of it. You become an integral part of my life. We started hanging more, our 2a.m drive, our sleepovers, me climbing into your room, all of these gave me immense joy and happiness.

We may fight with each other, do pranks, be annoying but we were always there for each other. I know that you will always have my back no matter what is the situation. You saved me from my mom's scolding so that you scold me more. You are a mess when I'm hurt even if it is a small wound. You don't hesitate to protect me from the psycho female classmates by acting as a jealous girlfriend.

I used to get jealous when other guys talk to you. I didn't know why but I tried to convince myself that it's because you are my best-friend, my babydoll. When you started fake-dating Prithvi, it fucking broke my heart. I just couldn't bear the sight of him with you. I got negative vibes from him but you didn't listen to me and it frustrated me even more. We started fighting more since we drifted apart.

In a way it was my fault, I was too busy with cricket that maybe, I forgot you. Not seeing you was frustrating me also just like you. I was relieved when we finally confessed what we were feeling. I never thought that you would be that insecure and I felt guilty. We were finally back as we were before, the best of best-friends.

Then came the night of your graduation, something I couldn't miss at all. You were looking so perfect standing there in the rain that I couldn't help but be attracted. One thing led to another and we ended making love. A night that I can never forget because it was memorable.
