They were at the same place that Kartik had got her for the first time.
His escape place. The lake.But today it was different. Shrinidhi walked ahead, as Kartik followed her with his hands in his pockets.
A smile adorned his face as he watched her being impressed.
They got inside the small shed, with leveled floor, that he had arranged, decorated with fairy lights, with a table for two set in the middle.
The subtle lights around making the place glow in the darkness of the night.The water of the lake was glowing in the moonlight with the reflections of the tiny twinkling stars adding to it's beauty.
"Kartik! This is so beautiful. It's so so so beautiful. ", Shrinidhi exclaimed as she looked at everything.
A big smile broke across Kartik's face as he was satisfied with her reaction.He softly took her hand in his as he walked her to the table.
Pulling out the chair for her, he made her take the seat as he himself took the one, in front of her.The table had roses and litted candles adding to the beauty.
Kartik looked at Shrinidhi with hearts in his eyes. His soft gaze making her blush hard.
He then poured the drink inside the two glasses handling one to her.
"Maaza? ", Shrinidhi questioned looking at the drink that he had poured in the wine glass.
Kartik just shrugged his shoulders, and it hit Shrinidhi as she squinted her eyes.
Days ago, she had once told him that maaza is her favourite soft drink. And here, he arranged that for her on their date.
They slightly tossed their glasses as they had the drink.
Their soft talks reverberated in the calm environment as the night took over.
After having their dinner and talking about a lot many things, Kartik finally asked her, " Shri.. It's been years since I did my first and last dance. But today, will you dance with me? "
And Shrinidhi certainly could not say no to that puppy face and extended hand of his.They both danced on the soft tunes as the breeze flew across their hair, their hands entangled in a warm manner while their bodies swayed in synchrony.
The softness of their growing relationship, was developing slowing, and healing them both without their knowledge in its own beautiful way.As they finally sat beside the lake, with their legs in the water, Shrinidhi rested her head on his shoulder.
Their hands were entangled with each other as they watched the water shine in the moonlight.
Suddenly, Kartik moved a bit as he pulled out a box from his pocket.
Shrinidhi raised her eyebrows asking what it was, but he simply opened the box, revealing a small pendant.
"Wow! ", Shrinidhi exclaimed as she saw the fine piece of jewellery.
" May I? ", Kartik asked as she nodded in affirmation.
He pulled out the pendent, as Shrinidhi turned her face to the other side, giving him the access to tie the pendant across her neck.
He lightly tucked her hair to a side, as he tied the pendant around her neck.
They both were sucking in deep breaths, as his fingers brushed against the soft skin of her back.
