Spring had fully arrived, bringing with it the promise of new beginnings. The campus was awash with vibrant colors as flowers bloomed and the air was filled with the cheerful hum of students preparing for graduation. Cessy and Nowa had settled into a comfortable rhythm, their relationship strengthened by their efforts to reconnect and rebuild.

Nowa had been meticulously planning for weeks, ensuring that everything would be perfect for this significant moment. He had decided to propose to Cessy in a way that would be both memorable and deeply personal. After their heartfelt conversations and renewed connection, he knew this was the right step for their future.

One evening, as the sun began to set, Nowa led Cessy to their special spot by the lake where they had shared so many intimate moments. The area had been transformed into a romantic setting, with fairy lights draped over the trees and a table set with a simple yet elegant dinner. Soft music played in the background, adding to the serene atmosphere.

Cessy’s eyes widened with surprise as she took in the scene. “Nowa, this is incredible,” she said, her voice filled with awe and emotion. “What’s the occasion?”

Nowa took her hand and guided her to the table, where he had prepared her favorite dishes. They enjoyed a quiet, intimate dinner, their conversation flowing easily as they reflected on their journey together. The soft glow of the fairy lights created a magical ambiance, making the evening feel like a fairy tale.

As the last of their meal was finished, Nowa stood up and took Cessy’s hands in his. He led her to a spot near the edge of the lake, where the setting sun cast a golden glow over the water. The moment was perfectly serene, and Nowa felt his heart race with anticipation.

“Cessy,” Nowa began, his voice steady but filled with emotion, “I’ve been thinking a lot about us and our future. These past few months have been some of the most meaningful and challenging times of my life. But through it all, I’ve realized how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Cessy’s eyes filled with tears as she looked up at him, her heart swelling with love and anticipation. Nowa reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, elegantly wrapped box. He opened it to reveal a beautiful engagement ring, its brilliance reflecting the last rays of the setting sun.

“I know we’ve had our ups and downs,” Nowa continued, “but I believe in us. I believe in our love and our future together. Will you marry me, Cessy?”

Cessy’s breath caught in her throat as she looked at the ring, her emotions overwhelming her. She nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Yes, Nowa. Yes, I will marry you.”

Nowa slipped the ring onto her finger, his eyes never leaving hers. They embraced, holding each other tightly as the reality of the moment sunk in. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them and their shared joy.

As they pulled away from their embrace, Nowa and Cessy gazed into each other’s eyes, the promise of their future reflected in their expressions. The proposal had been everything Nowa had hoped for—a perfect, intimate moment that celebrated their love and commitment.

They spent the rest of the evening talking about their plans, dreaming about their future, and celebrating their engagement. The lake, with its gentle ripples and the soft glow of the fairy lights, seemed like a perfect witness to their love story.

As they walked back to their dorms, hand in hand, they felt a profound sense of happiness and contentment. Their journey together had led them to this beautiful moment, and they were ready to face the future with renewed hope and excitement.

The engagement marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, one filled with love, promise, and the joy of a shared future.
