Flashback – Dhruv's POV:

I was in college, 2nd year. I was the studious one in my batch. Always lost in books.... I had friends but was never too close with anyone.

Life was good. I had my ambitions and was working for them.

The only thing with used to excite me apart from good grades, was music. I was very passionate about music, but never had the confidence to sing for anyone.

And love? I was always 10,000 feet away from those things, until I met her.

Prisha!

Even today whenever I think of her, I can imagine her face in front of my eyes.

Dark black hair touching her shoulder, height was between 5'4" and 5'6, bright black eyes, sharp jawline.....that's how my Prisha was.

I never thought I would fall for someone so badly.

Her family had some sources with our principal and thus she got an admission in the middle of the course. Even though she came in late, we became friends so easily. We bonded a lot. We had so much similarity. Even she was fond of music. After college we used to hand out together, walking across the unknown streets, holding hands.

We both had feeling for each other but it took us a whole year to confess. We started dating.

After one more year we graduated. She started a freelancing job while I joined a MBA class.

Gradually, we disclosed out relationship to our families. The happiest moment our life was when they agreed. We were overwhelmed.

Soon I completed my MBA and started preparing to join my dad's company.

It was time when our parents started discussing our marriage.

Prisha wanted to spend some more time with me before our engagement. I agreed.

Shimla has always been my favorite place. I came here several time but not with Prisha. So I decided to bring her this time.

We planned a vacation. Prisha was more adventurous than me. She had a list of activities to do here. I was not interested. The beauty of the mountains always excited me more. I just wanted to come here with her, hold her hands and watch the sun set down by the hills.

The day before we were to leave for Shimla, we were on a phone call.

Our late night phone calls!!!!!

Me: So are you excited for tomorrow?

Prisha: Yes!!!!!! Too much!!! I have never been to hill station you know.

Me: Ha Ha I know, that's why I planned it Sweetheart.

Prisha: Have you seen the list of sports that I send you?

Me: Yeah...But what are these... Ice skating, Trekking, skiing.... These are not for me!!!!!

Prisha: Oh come on Dhruv.... Don't be such a coward. It will be fun.

Me: Areh but why do you always have to do such daring things... We can just chill!

Prisha: Adventure always triggers me up.... It's like there is no tomorrow.... You have to have all the fun in that one moment...

Me: Ok madam, no one can win an argument with you. Now go to sleep. It's late.

The next day by afternoon, we reached Shimla and checked in our hotel. That day we mostly took rest.

We had a stay of 1 week.

We enjoyed it to our fullest. I even participated in some of Prisha's crazy sports. Though scared at first, I enjoyed it later.

Our relation was very strong. We had fights but it never affected our love.

Prisha had only one complaint of me, that I never proposed her officially.

Our families decided our marriage so it was never needed. But she wanted it to be special.

So on the last day of our trip, I decided to propose her!
