Kashvi's pov

I sat in the room, my heart racing with anticipation, my skin tingling with excitement. The girls had helped me get ready, primping and priming me like a princess for the big moment. Vansh had insisted on doing everything himself, and I could sense his nervous energy, his desire to make this perfect.

As I waited, my mind wandered to all the possibilities, my imagination running wild with scenarios. And then, the door creaked open, and Vansh's deep voice filled the room. "It's time, baby."

I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could utter a word, Vansh's gentle hands wrapped around my eyes, securing a black cloth in place. I felt a flutter in my chest, a thrill of surprise. "Why are you not allowing me to see?" I whined, my voice laced with playful frustration. "I already know that you're planning to propose to me."

Vansh's chuckle was low and husky, sending shivers down my spine. "You can say anything, but you won't see anything till I tell you to," he teased, his words dripping with mystery.

With a gentle hand, he guided me to my feet, and I felt his strong arms wrap around me, supporting me as we began to walk. My senses were heightened, my hearing and touch on high alert as I relied on Vansh to lead me through the unknown. The air was thick with tension, our love was palpable, and I knew that this moment would be etched in my memory forever.

I whined and pouted, my frustration and excitement building with each passing moment. "Vansh, please! Just give me a hint! Where are we going? What's the surprise?" I begged, my voice laced with desperation.

But Vansh just chuckled and held me closer, his arms wrapped tightly around me. "Patience, my love," he whispered, his breath warm against my ear. "You'll see soon enough. Just trust me."

But patience was not my virtue at that moment. I was a bundle of nerves and anticipation, my mind racing with possibilities. I squirmed and fidgeted, trying to peek around the blindfold, but Vansh held me firm.

"Vansh, please!" I whined again, my voice rising in protest. "I can't take this suspense!"

He just laughed and kissed my forehead, his lips soft and reassuring. "Almost there, baby. Just hang in there."

And then, the car stopped, and Vansh's arms released me. I heard the door open, and he helped me out, his hands guiding me up a path, the sound of waves crashing in the distance. My heart raced, my senses on high alert, and I knew that this moment was going to be one for the books.

Vansh's pov

As I opened the car door for my wife, my hands trembled with a nervous energy I had never experienced before. Despite knowing that Kashvi was aware of my proposal plans and was likely to say yes, a tiny voice in my head whispered doubts. What if she had reconsidered? What if she had finally realized that I wasn't good enough for her?

The thought sent a stab of pain through my chest, as if someone was excavating my heart with a rusty shovel. I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, staring into an abyss of uncertainty. My mind raced with worst-case scenarios, my heart pleading with the universe to make this moment perfect.

I took a deep breath and offered Kashvi my hand, helping her out of the car with a tenderness that belied my inner turmoil. Her smile was radiant, her eyes sparkling with excitement, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of impending doom.

As we walked towards our destination, the sound of waves crashing in the distance, I felt like I was walking on thin ice, unsure of what lay beneath the surface. My love for Kashvi had always been all-consuming, but in this moment, it felt like a double-edged sword - capable of bringing me immense joy or unbearable pain.

I pushed aside my doubts and focused on the moment, determined to make this proposal perfect, no matter the outcome. But the fear lingered, a constant reminder that even the deepest love can be fragile and fleeting.

As I gently untied the blindfold, Kashvi's eyes fluttered open, like delicate petals unfolding from a bud. She blinked twice, her gaze adjusting to the sudden light, and then her eyes widened in wonder.

Before her lay a breathtaking scene, a symphony of pink and white flowers, delicate and graceful, surrounding a beautifully set table. The soft glow of dim lights cast a warm ambiance, like a gentle embrace. In the center of the table, my labor of love, a cake I had baked myself, stood tall, adorned with intricate designs and the words "Mr & Mrs Suryavanshi" in elegant script.

Kashvi's gasp was like a whispered secret, her eyes filling with tears as she took in the beauty of the moment. Her gaze shifted to me, and our eyes met like two souls connecting on a deeper plane. I saw the love, the joy, and the gratitude reflected in her eyes, and my heart swelled with emotion.

"Vansh..." she whispered, her voice trembling, "it's...it's so beautiful."

I smiled, my heart overflowing with love, and took her hand, leading her to the table. "I wanted it to be perfect, Kashvi. Just like you."

As I descended to my knees, my heart overflowing with adoration, I gazed up at Kashvi with eyes that poured out my soul. The ring, a symbol of our eternal love, trembled in my hand, reflecting the vulnerability and passion that filled my heart.

"Kashvi, my love, my everything," I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion. "You are the sunshine that illuminates my world, the stars that light up my night, and the warm embrace that chases away all fears. You are the melody that fills my heart with joy, the rhythm that makes me whole.

You are sun to my moon baby, so now will you do me a favor and make me the happiest man alive by saying to marry me?"

Tears of joy streaming down her face like a river of happiness, Kashvi's lips quivered as she struggled to speak. "A million times, yes, Vansh... I will marry you again and again, forever and always." Her voice cracked with emotion, her words barely audible over the sound of her tears.

"I love you with all of me, Vansh. You made me believe in love, in us, and in the beauty of our journey together. You are my home, my shelter, my forever." Her voice was a gentle breeze that caressed my heart, filling me with warmth and comfort.

As I slid the ring onto her finger, our eyes locked in a tender gaze, the world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the infinite expanse of our love. I rose to my feet, sweeping her into a tender embrace, our hearts beating as one, our love shining brighter than any star in the universe.

In that moment, our love became the only truth that mattered, the only reality that existed. We were one, our hearts entwined, our souls united, our love forever and always.
