*Bonus-2*
I cannot sleep, it's 5 am in the morning. Agh.
I was supposed to propose at the dinner today. It was all planned but then I got late. I tried to rush things up and when I finally reached, I saw her dancing with this idiot. Initially, I was jealous but then it was just a dance. But then he grabbed her wrist, it took all my patience to not react. I knew, She was waiting for me. She waited for me for almost an hour, I am such an idiot. Then, I couldn't deny her suggestion of going home, even when I knew what will happen. But it was so worth it she looks so beautiful beneath me, Aish. I cannot get that image out of my head. I need to focus on the proposal. Today marks the completion of our 3 years. I, I wanted this to be special.
All I know is, I want her. I want her sleepy confused look when she wakes up, and the smile that follows. I want to be the warmth that fills the space in our bed. I don't want to share her.
Oh but it's embarrassing sometimes, when the wanting shows. how I just need her hands on mine. how I just want her soft voice to call me out of sleep, how I want her to drink coffee with while the sun wakes up.
I was so good at being alone until I remember what it's like to be loved and then I am aching all over again. I just want her beside me, always. Ah, I cannot wait anymore.
Let me just put this ring in her finger. Oh there, she is wearing it while she is asleep. Did I just made her my fiancé, without asking!? I must be crazy, I must be. Maybe I should just sleep for sometime, but I just proposed to the love of my life. Not exactly proposed but yeah. I don't know how she is so familiar to me—or why it feels less like I am getting to know her and more as though I am remembering who she is. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known her before, I have loved her before — in another time, a different place some other existence. How I yearn to love her more, now. (Unknown)I couldn't sleep, all I did was stare at her. It is around 10am right now, I just cannot miss the moment she realises that there is a ring in her left hand. She moves a little in my arms and opens her eyes. Oh, how cute.
A soft smile forms on her face as she looks at me.
"Good morning, Jaan." she smiles wide and hugs me again.
"Good morning!" I smile my widest.
She smiles as she cradles my face and kisses me. Oh. This feels like happiness. She stops kissing me, and then looks at her hand. It takes her a moment to realise but then she smiles. My favourite one, one with a little blush and happy eyes.
She then looks at me, "This!?"
I ask, "Jagiya, Will you marry me?"
She chuckles, "Didn't you already assume that I will say Yes."
I chuckled, "So you have another plans?"
She kisses me and then smiles, "No, my all plans have you in it. I love you so much, you have no idea."
Oh. So it is a yes.
"I love you too. But don't take this as a proposal, I haven't gone down on one knee yet."
"So what was this?"
"I wanted to just let you know that it's been 3 years, and I want to marry you. I cannot wait anymore to call you my wife."
She, her expressions changed, she smiled but with a slight hint of sadness and then laughter.
"So, you remembered ."
"Of course I did." I replied instantly.
She kissed me softly, "Then it's a deal, huh."
I kissed her back, "It is, a great deal."
How can I explain to you, my happiness, my golden wonderful happiness, how much I am all yours?
