All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 25 -Kaira-

We worked throughout the day making a heart bouquet for Avni. Man, arts and craft are not my thing. I officially resign from doing anything near arts ever again.

You want to know a fun fact, Aman is also going to propose today, but Avni doesn't know that. When we called Krish to bring Aman on the spot because Avni was planning to surprise him, Krish replied that he was going to ask us the same question.

So, first, it was Avni's favorite spot, but we convinced her to do everything she planned in the nearby theatre. It is a small one, where Hindi movies are premiered and are run by an old Indian couple. Hahaha, let's have fun now.

Their marriage is already finalized by their parents, but no, she has to do all these proposals and stuff, and making me and Aishu work.

"Okay, all set." Aisha announced coming into the theater. We have booked the auditorium because it wasn't that big in the first place, and second, Avni is slightly uncomfortable with the pda policy of hers.

"The boys are on the way." I replied to her. Avni has started feeling nervous.

"What if I mess up?" Avni asked.

"Aman will still marry you." Aisha replied, chuckling.

"That toh, he doesn't have any other option." Avni said, smiling.

"And here they come." Aisha said as the three geek gods enetered the auditorium. Krish, Ishaan, and Aman walking side by side is a scene to devour.

"Act natural." Avni said, totally unaware of our plan. Aisha winked at me, and I shook my head.

1 hour in the movie, clips switched. A video composed by Krish and Aisha, I know the odd pair, but Aisha was the creative one, and Krish was the editing one.

Avni took the bouquet, kept hidden till now, and stood up in front of the screen.

"Aman, we didn't really start great when we first met after 8 years. I was nervous and adamant about my feelings. But as we proceeded together, I realized that those feelings never disappeared at all. They were just caged in. And I loved you all the time. It kept growing with time. So, so -" Avni started sobbing, going to one knee.

Aisha pushed Aman forward, who was in a trance looking at Avni. He stumbled and sat down on his knees in front of Avni.

"So, will you marry me, Avni? Please make me the luckiest man alive by accepting my proposal. You dealt with my flaws and have seen my insecurities, but you never left me. Not 8 years ago, not now. I wish to rewite our stars so that those 8 years would also be blissfully happy like the rest of our lives."

"Will you marry me, Sweetheart?" He asked again. Avni nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Aisha pinched me.

"My 20 pounds?" She asked with a grin.

We had a bet, Aisha bet that Avni will start crying while giving me speech, and I said she wouldn't. So, proving me wrong, Aisha won.

"Fine." I said, handing her a bill.

Krish was recording everything. Aman slipped the ring on Avni's finger, and we hooted. Avni gave him the heart bouquet, which had letters inside it. Each heart contained something handwritten from Avni, and it was sort of a very legit romantic touch. Aman has always loved all this stuff.

"Let's partyyyyyy." Aisha said, jumping and hugging both Avni and Aman in one go.

"Where to then?" Aman asked with a chuckle at Aisha's behavior.

"Our house, maybe. We have pizza and wine." I said. Pizza and wine are Avni's and Aman's favorite food. We are simple people. No extravaganza is required to celebrate.

"Let's gooo then." Ishaan said and slipped his hand in mine.

"While we are at it, I want to hear the story of Kaira and Ishaan too." Aman said with a smirk.

"There is no story yet. But I will be happy to narrate." Ishaan said, giving my hand a squeeze.

"If you guys don't mind, can I take Kaira with me?" He asked the rest of the group.

"Only if you promise not to disappear for an hour again." Aisha said, her hands on her waist.

"Okay, mother hen. I will bring her straight to the house. Pakka promise." He said, and a smile formed on my lips.

"Bbyeee then." They all said and left.

"Soo, you and Aisha had bet on Avni." He asked more like stated.

"Yes, we did." I said, chuckling. He opened the gate of his jeep, and I hoped in.

"I didn't get to do this today." He said, sitting in the driver's seat.

"What exactly is this and?" I asked, facing him.

His one hand went behind my neck, and he pulled me to himself, in a smootg movement. And we were kissing, slow, burning, and passionate kiss.

We parted due to lack of oxygen, but he didn't leave me yet.

"I hope you are satisfied now, Mr. Malhotra." I said.

"Satisfied? Darling, I am far from it." He said in a husky voice and left me. I settled down in my seat, trying to calm down the raging pigeons, buttefflies, sparrows, and everything else that were flying inside my stomach, making me go all goggly.

"You never told me about that man from yesterday?" He said suddenly, making me go all numb again.

"Later, maybe when we are free." I muttred. He mist have sensed the change in my voice and mood so dropped the subject but instead his hand landed...on my thigh!

His hand on my thigh! It was like his touch burned me, electricfying me to no extent. The desires within me started to sprang out, and I was having a hard time controlling them.

If this man keeps doing stuff like this, I will soon lose control over myself and give in to the deadly desires bubbling inside me.

Heloooo peoplee!! Another chapter up, give lots of love to Kaira and Ishaan and be happy always, I will just return to my work now. Byeeeeeeeeee~!!!!!!!!❤️
