It was Dad's call. "Let's go they are waiting for us". I said she nodded and followed me inside.

"Ahm, Listen" I stop looking at Dua who hesitates to say something. "When are we leaving for Luxembourg? And how many days are you going to stay?" She asked and I like that. "This trip will take, more than a year as I estimated, why?" I said and noticed Dua's face got dull as she hummed.

"Answer my question" she said pouting and I remember. Why didn't I give her the flower in front of everyone.

"If I did then your brothers will treat me the same as Aabid and I can't go on my business trip with a bruised jaw" she giggles and I stare at her. "Don't worry Bhai won't do anything to you because you are Dad's choice" she said looking at the sky.

"Now can I ask you a question?" She nodded looking at me, "Why did you say Yes to my marriage proposal without knowing me?" I wanted to ask this after our engagement.

"Uh. Because you are Dad's choice" she said bluntly and it hurt me a little because I'm not her choice, I'm the most perfect bachelor (son-in-law) but still I'm not her choice.

"Or it's not like that I have someone that I like or have a crush on him, so let go with the flow" she explains and my burning heart got its soothing cream for treatment after hearing she doesn't like anyone.

That's me she didn't like me too?

A thought flash in my mind, "why did you ask?". She asks if her brown orbs shine under the lamp light. I shook my head, "let's go" I held her hand again, she didn't resist too. We entered through the back garden and she removed her hand from mine after seeing Momin and Maah walking towards us with Aabid.

I wanted to lose my weight but put that thought aside because of the chocolate bouquet he gave me.

This is the first time someone has given me a flower&chocolate together which I accept.

In England or even in India I got lots of love letters, flowers etc but I didn't accept any because I don't feel any interest in them. But he is different.

His today's action made me drumstick by him, and I felt something exploded in my head and heart.

Do I feel for him?

No how could I melt so easily?

I thought as I saw our intertwined hands which made me blush and a whole bunch of butterflies fly everywhere. I moved our hands a little and he turned to look at me, "why did you bring me a flower bouquet all of a sudden?" I ask I'm still not sure what to take this action like.

"I saw you while driving and seeing this I remember you. So I bought it for you, why don't you like it?" I nodded then shook my head in denial. "no it's good, I like it" he just nodded with a hum as we started walking.

I saw Maah, Momin and Aabid walking towards us as Maah wink at me seeing the flowers in my hand. Our intertwined hands were hidden because of his body so no one saw that. I slid my hand out of his hold and felt him froze for a moment then he went back to normal.
