Vihaan POV:

I didn't know where I was driving, I just wanted her to snap out of her thoughts and enjoy. Also, I wanted some alone time with her. It was dark outside; I stopped near the highway. She looked at me, asking "What's wrong Aan."

I smiled, got down, and saw an old man selling ice cream. I bought two. When she saw them, she squealed with joy, ran over, and took one. She sat on the car's bonnet, and I leaned over it.

I asked, "Where do you wanna go, Vie? Tell me your wishes. I know, you write them in your book." She looked wide-eyed, asking how I knew. I shrugged and said, "Sooo?" She replied, "Well, you can't grant them Aan, at least not today." I said, "Come on, Vie, tell me. You know I'll give you anything you want."

She said, "I want to go on a boat, with full darkness around us, and the full moon shining on us, Only you and me." My face lit up; I pulled her, saying, excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you." She caught my hand, saying, "Aan, you can't do that." I raised my eyebrows, asking "Why?"

She said, "Well, sometimes nature should support us Aan. Today is not a full moon day." I looked up, realizing that, sighed, and said, "Sorry, Vie." She cupped my cheek, and said, "It's fine Aan. We'll go some other time. How about going to beach now?" I nodded, getting back in the car, and we went to the beach.

We were walking along the side of the beach, hand in hand, laughing and giggling. My heart was at its peak happiness; I thought, 'So, this is what love looks like,' as I looked at her. She started humming a tune. Oh my god, her voice was so dreamy. I listened to her without making any noise.

She looked at me, laughing, and asked, "What?" I said, "You sing so good, Vie. Please, can you sing it again? Pleaseee," giving her my best puppy eyes. I didn't know I could do this puppy eyes kind of thing until now. She laughed, pushing me, and hid her face in her palms. Oh, how adorable she is. I just want to bite her cheeks.

So, I bent down, removing her hands, and bit her cheek, to which she screamed, "Aan!" and pushed me, running ahead. I laughed, following her. We chased like that for some more minutes until I caught her, and we sat near a tree, panting.

After some time, I asked, "Vie, pleasee." She nodded, saying, "Don't look at me." I nodded, turning my head that side. She started singing.

*In the midst of the ocean, it's only you,
Like a wave in the blue, it's none but you.
A moment unfolding, pure love it may be,
Dancing through the ages, spreading joy so free.
On my journey's map, you're the destination,
In my heart's realm, a delightful revelation*

I hugged her from behind, and she leaned her back on my chest. I asked, "Is it for me?" She said, "No, it's for the moon." I rolled my eyes, and she laughed, saying, "Of course it's for you."

I smiled, holding her tight, and said, "I can't sing like you, but can I give it a try?" She turned around to look into my eyes, nodded, and then turned back, leaning on me. I sang some lyrics which are my favorite.

Neetho bandhame raasindevvaro... ninne naakilaa choopindevvaro...
nanne vaipugaa laagindevvaro... ninne choodagaa aapindevvaro...
daridaapullo padigaapullo padi nilichaa nee raredaarullo...
tholi velugalle vasthaale kalise repati poddullo....

*In the bond of your love, who brought us together... Who showed me how to see you so beautifully...
Who made me swoon in your embrace... Who made me blush just by looking at you...
In the hurdles and falls, in the ups and downs... Amidst the hardships, in today's challenge...
Like the first rays of light that meet in the morning dew...*
