As Adi was telling me his plan, I was just imagining her expression how will she react? did her Ex ever proposed her even tho he did I am sure I'll be best like ever. Only thinking about it I'm smiling. As my gaze went near stare, she was coming down with her stepsister and the coffee shop friend, when she stepped last stare her friend Ivaan came and said something in her ears, and they all laughed. she was smiling looking at him as if he bought stars from the sky and then they hugged for very longtime, or it is just my imagination then slowly her friend also joins two of them now they are being little emotional. 

As she looked on stage I smirked and winked at her in response I get an eyeroll. I went near her offering my hand she eyed my hand for a second then with a huff she took it, good or else I would lifted her.

"You're looking so beautiful moonlight." She looked me with a shock face for seconds and turned her face other side ignoring me. I thought she didn't like the name. I tried again "Vritika your looking really very pretty."

She huffed and looked me indicating to sit on the sofa. We both sat there and there was distance between us which I didn't liked it so I moved a little so that our knees can touch and they were touching. She didn't notice good I moved a little more and now our thighs were touching. She looked at me with anger in her eyes. I know she wants to kill me right now but she won't.  I shrugged.

"Be ready for surprise dove." She rolled her eyes.
"Jab se aai hu surprise pe surprise milraha hai. Chalo ye bhi sahi." She smiled at someone who was an aunt of mine I guess. I was not paying any attention at all to anyone but her just her.

"Ye surprise special hoga kyu ki tum special ho mere liye. And you'll start to fall for me believe me." She looked at me suddenly and her hand came near my shoulder dusting something. She smirked. She is also aware of her effect on me.

"For sure, after all I'm going to be your one-year wife." She whispered coming close to me.

"Not one year wife but one and only wife darling." Our eyes clashed she was about to say some thing and I was about to take her hand but her friend took before me and pulled her from sofa to dance floor.

Her friend was dancing on some song I guess it was  maahi ve and soon after her other friend Ivaan started to dance with them. They were happy but suddenly the song changed, and it was the chorus of yeh gaaliya yeh chobara. She started to cry. Her tears were doing something to me I was not comfortable sitting here just to see she is crying there. I stood up but her friends were hugging her, soon her brother, sister and aunt came to hug her even the chachu I guess but not the father and I was not expecting but also her stepmother at least.

She'll be loved the way she is deserves once she gets married to me. I went near them to excuse her. I  went there and took her face in my hand removing the tears not even giving a shit who are watching us. I hugged her soothing her back

"Shh.. shhhhh moonlight I'm here and I'll also be don't cry please." She looked up at me with red eyes and red nose.

"Don't make promises which are ment to break Mr.Raichand " with that she moved out from my arms and excused herself for restroom.

VRITIKA POV

I was overwhelmed by everything I was missing my mom soo much. And beyond that this marriage, the groom. Hell, everything is messed up in my life I miss her why couldn't I have her why did God took her this early doesn't he have little mercy over a child?

I was crying in one of the booths in the restroom and my phone was buzzing continuously I took it out from the pouch which was hanging with the lehanga. I looked at the number it was unknown number who might be it? I stopped myself and took a deep breath and cleared my throat.

"Hello?" Man I don't have strength to talk
"Who is this?" I asked cutting the hi hello
"Hey carrots it's me, I want to ask you something- wait are you crying? What happen honey? are okay? tell me I'm here are you alone? Is everything okay?-." Holy heaven can't he leave me alone?
"See I want to be alone I'll text you later Adwait we have lots to talk, bye."  Before giving him any chance I hang up on him. He is so infuriating.

I kept my phone on the tissue stand and it started to vibrate again with the same number I just can't do anything besides ignoring it. For 2 minutes there was silence. I just want silence. But it didn't last long and my fury was almost at peck the phone rang again without even glancing at number I just took the call

"Yaar Adwait please yaar mai boli na baad mai baath karthe hai please yaar why no one listen to me?" I started to cry
"Darsh. I'm Darsh. Where are you?" This devil won't leave me.
"It's none of your business. Where I am." I was about to cut the call.
"I dare you, Vritika. I dare you if you'll hang up on me the consequences won't be good. So, you better tell me where you are? And it is my fucking business you are my fiancée. " He is hopeless.
"I'm in restroom. Now can I be alone?"
"Come out. And no, you can't be alone. I want you by my side." This man is nuts.
"I need time you go I'll come in a bit" yeah it was good excuse.
"Fine don't come out I'm coming in." Before I can say anything, the call got cut and the restroom door opened and by God grace there were no one he knocked the door.

"Hmm?" I can't say anything now.
"I know you're missing your mom. And probably cursing these situations why you are here. But believe me Vritika your mother must be happy seeing you as a bride but would be sad that she is crying over something jis pe uska bus nai tha. She would be proud of you that you took your sister's place taki aapki family ka naam kharab na ho. Even you know what? I am also happy to get a wife like you who can fight with me, and my family are head over hills that you're going to be a part of our family." He took a deep breath.

"So, Vritika please come out. Please moonlight." He somehow made me stop the tears without even touching with just words. I took some tissues and cleaned my face. Thank God I did not apply mascara. After cleaning I took my phone kept it back in pouch. I opened the door just to find Darsh on his one knee as if? Wait what? He... he is proposing me.

"We didn't plan like this, I didn't plan like this, but I want you to know that you are way too important to my family and to me too. I don't know how but it's the feelings which are just growing. So, Vritika Sharma will you marry me and do me an honor to be your groom? Will you take my last name?"
