💍 PROPOSAL DREAMS-CHAPTER-34

Meera pov:

The party had been going great—laughter everywhere, everyone excited for the cake. But then, everything flipped in a heartbeat.

Uncle Carlos was on his phone, his face going from confused to shocked. Luis noticed and grabbed the phone. His expression was just as stunned.

My heart dropped. "Uncle, is everything okay?" I asked, worried. He just shook his head, serious. Luis came over, voice tight. "We don't really know how to say this, Meera..."

Before I could ask more, the lights flickered—and then went out completely.

Panic hit me like a wave.

But then Appa's calm voice cut through the dark. "Don't panic, Meera ma."

The lights flickered back on—and there he was.

Adrian, standing in the middle of the room with that signature smirk of his, arms folded casually. His emerald eyes sparkled with mischief.

"Hey, Fresa," he said, and my heart did a little flip.

"A-Adrian?" I stammered, completely stunned.

He looked amazing—hair perfectly styled, clean-shaven jawline, wearing a crisp white tee under a stylish sandalwood coat, white pants, and sunglasses hanging from his collar.

Then I noticed everyone else—my parents, Naveen, Uncle Carlos, Luis—all with those teasing smiles. They totally tricked me!

Relief and happiness rushed through me. Folding my arms, I whined, "You guys! This is way too much!"

Carlos chuckled, "Sorry, Meera, but everything's good now. We gave our blessing—for Adrian's sake."

Naveen came up, wrapping a fake comforting arm around me. "Everyone knew Adrian was coming—except you, Balli Meera!" he teased with a wink.

I swatted him away playfully and caught Thanu, Elena, and Dahlia grinning like they'd been in on it too.

Turning to Adrian, I teased, "Don't you think they went a little overboard with this surprise?"

He laughed softly, "Just for fun, amor." But I caught a nervous flicker in his eyes I hadn't seen before.

He walked over to my parents, wished them a happy anniversary with that charming smile, and then Diego burst in with a huge bouquet of flowers—like a small tree!

Everyone left the stage, except Adrian and me, standing in the spotlight. He adjusted his collar, a hint of nerves showing on his handsome face.

I looked around, catching the playful smiles—but his eyes were serious this time.

Suddenly, Adrian took my hands in his, and a rush of heat shot through me, flushing my cheeks. Before I could even think, he dropped to one knee, holding my hand gently but firmly.

My breath caught. His face was a mix of nervousness and something so sure. My heart pounded like crazy—could this really be happening?

"Meera, mi corazón," he started, his voice steadying. "You're the sunshine in my life, the beat in my heart. Every look, every laugh only proves one thing—you're mine forever."

A lump caught in my throat, tears threatening to spill. It wasn't how I imagined it, but it was perfect—totally Adrian.

"You see the best in me, even when I don't. You fit right in the crook of my arm, your laughter is the music my soul needs. So with every beat of this heart, that belongs only to you..."

His hand trembled in mine. Then, softly, "I love you. More than words. And I can't imagine life without you."

Slowly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. My stomach flipped as he opened it to reveal a sparkling ring, delicate and perfect.
