Prem Vivah

• Commitment Ring •

Sameer stared at her without blinking, his lips sealed, and face glowing with a warm kind of delight as he avowed Naina was asking him to wear this ring and officially become her Partner In Crime. He weakly descended his moistened gaze on the ring grinning at him from inside the box, and tears streamed down his cheeks.

All their delightful moments came rushing to his mind with hot fluid unrelentingly dropping on his rough stubble, and an emotional smile gradually graced his soaked lips.

Naina admired how her man expressed his shock without uttering a word, and joy intensified in her soul.

"What is this?" Sameer asked her in a meek tone after a momentary silence.

"I am proposing to you to marry me," Naina replied to him with a sweet smile, her foot aching now because of the high heel she was wearing.

"Really?" He was shocked to even understand the frown on her face.

"Yes Baby! Jaldi haa karo heel ki wajah se pain hone laga hai ab mujhe." She spoke with a cute smile, and he quickly plucked out the ring from the velvety skin, beholding the gold-toned shimmering ornament in his hand.

"It's Beautiful!" Sameer whispered, his moist eyes pinned to the diamond sparkling on the expensive ring.

"Arey yaar Haa toh bolo pehle." He heard her yelling at him in annoyance.

"Kiske liye?" Sameer asked her in confusion.

"Shadi ke liye, pagal." Naina chided him while trying to adjust her heel on the muddy ground.

"Usme haa kya karna, tumhare siwa kiske saath shadi karuga main waise bhi." Sameer replied to her with an innocent smile, and Naina, though didn't want to be berserk at him, said vexedly - "You know what, tumhe propose hi nahi karna chahiye tha mujhe."

"Toh kiya kyun?" He asked her in a low voice.

"Sameerrrrr." She yelled his name in utmost rage, and he began to chuckle, holding her hand to make her stand up on her two teeny-weeny feet. Naina smiled at her lummox boyfriend, and Sameer spoke with a loving smile on his face - "Yes Janam! I will marry you, and not just for a day but every day we will live together."

"Matlab roz shadi hogi?" Naina asked him with a dramatic expression.

"Shadi ka toh pata nahi but..." He ran his knuckles on her silky tresses, and said in a deep baritone voice - "First Night roz hogi."

Her cheeks gave tough competition to her saree as she looked like a freshly plucked apple because of his naughty comment, her eyes lowered to his shirt, and Sameer gently smiled while placing his index finger under her chin, asking her - "Manzoor Haina?"

"Haan," Naina uttered, in a soft voice, hugging him tightly to hide her flourishing red skin. Sameer lovingly patted his palm on her blouse string while grasping the unalloyed beauty of the ring in his hand, and his heart fluttered countless times when he recalled how unexpectedly and beautifully his woman asked him to Marry Her.

She felt wetness drenching the fabric of her blouse as he cried quietly, enveloping her petite frame firmly into his manly one, and He slowly sewed his moistened eyes, murmuring her beautiful name in a gentle voice, like it was an orison. Naina soothingly ran her hand through his fluffy black hair, calming him down, and Sameer spoke, happiness visible in his voice - "I Am So Shocked."

"Shh bas." Naina crooned him while patting his head, and Sameer wasn't ready to let her go.

He controlled his tears and told her weakly - "It's so difficult to believe you just proposed to me, mujhe toh mere birthday wale din ki yaad aa gayi jab aise hi achanak se tumne mujhe I Love You kaha tha black saree me. Samjh nahi aa raha main itna kismat wala kaise ban gaya suddenly. Jis ladke ki ek khwaaish kabhi puri nahi hua karti thi, aaj uski itni badi khwaaish puri hone jaa rahi hai. Kaise yakeen karu batao?"
