After some time.....
AUTHOR'S POV :

After their playful ice cream adventure, Abhishek suggests, "How about we take a leisurely walk in the nearby park?" Kashish's eyes light up with excitement as she nods in agreement. As they stroll hand in hand, Abhishek adds, "It's so peaceful here. I love moments like these, just being with you."

Kashish smiles, "Me too. It feels like we're in our little bubble away from the world." They continue walking, sharing their dreams, aspirations, and childhood memories. Suddenly, they stumble upon a quaint garden filled with colorful flowers.

Abhishek grins, "Look at these flowers! They're almost as beautiful as you." He plucks a few and arranges them into a small bouquet for Kashish. "Here, a token of my affection," he says, handing it to her.

Kashish blushes, "Thank you, Abhishek. You always know how to make me feel special." They pause to admire the flowers, their fingers intertwined as they soak in the beauty of the moment.

As they stroll hand in hand, the distant strumming of a guitar catches their attention. Abhishek's eyes light up as he says, "Listen, Kashish, do you hear that? It's like the music is calling us."

Kashish's heart skips a beat as she nods, her gaze fixed on Abhishek. "Let's go check it out," she suggests, her voice filled with anticipation.

I found a love, for me
Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Approaching the street performer, the sweet melody of "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran fills the air. Abhishek's hand finds Kashish's waist, pulling her closer as he whispers, "Shall we dance?"

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it
Darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own

A smile dances on Kashish's lips as she nods, feeling the warmth of Abhishek's hand in hers. They move together, their bodies swaying to the rhythm of the music, perfectly synchronized as if they've danced together a thousand times before.

We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight

With each step, they're lost in the lyrics of the song, feeling the love and longing conveyed in every word. Abhishek's touch is electric, sending shivers down Kashish's spine as they move effortlessly across the pavement.

Their eyes meet, conveying a silent message of love and affection that words could never express. In that moment, surrounded by the soft glow of streetlights and the gentle strumming of the guitar, they're completely lost in each other.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonigh

As the song reaches its crescendo, Abhishek pulls Kashish into a tender embrace, their hearts beating as one to the rhythm of the music. In that fleeting moment, they're the only two people in the world, their love illuminated by the soft glow of the moon above.
