As we arrived at the Sharmas' palace, my mind raced with mixed emotions. The grand structure loomed before me my heart was aching —it was the reality of the engagement looming over my head. my  footsteps echoed on the marble floors as I entered, feeling a strange sense of familiarity and tension, remembering my last visit here.

The anticipation of seeing Anaya again weighed heavily on me. I had hurt her with his thoughtless words, calling her a gold digger, and now, with Vivaan's advice in the back of my  mind, I wondered if an apology could even begin to fix the damage. I carried a letter in my pocket, unsure if it would be enough.

As I was greeted by the staff and led inside, my sharp eyes scanned the opulent surroundings, but my thoughts remained elsewhere—focused on the difficult conversation ahead.


As I stood on the stage, the murmurs of the crowd faded into the background, replaced by the rapid thumping of my heart. The moment everyone had been waiting for was finally here, and I was consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. My gaze fell on Anaya, adorned in a stunning golden lehenga that shimmered under the lights, making her look ethereal. The intricate embroidery sparkled as she moved, catching the light in a way that made her appear almost otherworldly. It was as if time had slowed, and all that mattered was her. She stepped into the room with grace, her head held high and a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. The way she carried herself was captivating; each step was deliberate, her soft smile illuminating the space around her. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. She was breathtakingly beautiful, and a flutter struck my chest. I had never felt anything like this before—this inexplicable yearning. I didn't love her; at least, I didn't think I did. So why was I feeling this way?As she approached, the laughter and chatter of the guests faded, leaving only the sound of her heartbeat echoing in my ears. I noticed the way her eyes sparkled, filled with excitement and a touch of nervousness. I found myself leaning forward, drawn in by her warmth, when her laughter rang out like music. It was contagious, pulling me into a moment I couldn't fully comprehend. Then, the moment arrived. The rings were brought forth, gleaming under the bright lights, cradled in a beautiful velvet box. As they were presented, the atmosphere shifted, buzzing with anticipation. Anaya's gaze met mine, and I felt an electric connection, as if the air around us crackled with unspoken promises. My heart raced as she reached out, carefully taking my hand and sliding the ring onto my finger. The gentle touch of her skin against mine sent a shiver down my spine, stirring emotions I didn't know how to process.Cheers erupted around us as she slipped the ring onto my finger, but amidst the celebration, a whisper from Vivaan echoed in my mind. "You need to apologize to her," he had said, and now, standing before everyone, I felt the weight of that advice settle heavily on my shoulders. In an impulsive moment, I knelt down—*me*, Shivarth Oberoi, who had never once looked down before anyone is now kneeling in front of his wife . The gasps that swept through the crowd were palpable, and for a second, I felt exposed, vulnerable. But all I could see was her, her wide eyes filled with shock and something else—was it hope? The moment felt surreal, as if the universe had shifted. Here I was, kneeling before her, not just as her fiancé but as someone who needed to make amends.As I exchanged the ring with her, a sense of duty washed over me, mixed with a strange excitement. Fireworks erupted overhead, painting the night sky with colors that mirrored the confusion in my heart. I had never cared about anyone's feelings, but with her, everything was different. It was as if the fireworks symbolized the sparks igniting within me—conflict, desire, fear, and an unexpected longing to understand her, to protect her. When I slipped her the letter I had penned earlier, my heart raced as I watched her open it. The light in her eyes dimmed as tears welled up. The sight of her distress twisted something deep within me. This was real. I was engaged to someone I hardly knew, and the thought terrified me. I had a reputation for being ruthless, yet here I was, feeling a sense of protectiveness over this woman I had barely begun to understand.Questions swirled in my mind—*Why do I care? Why does it hurt to see her upset?* I felt the weight of my emotions pressing down on me, the walls I had built around my heart beginning to crumble. Maybe I was terrified not just of this new relationship but of what it could become. The engagement, which I had initially viewed as a mere obligation, suddenly felt like a tether binding me to someone unknown, someone who had the power to unlock feelings I had buried deep inside.In that moment, standing before her with fireworks lighting up the sky, I realized that this was not just an engagement; it was the beginning of something that could change everything. Perhaps, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, this was the moment I had been waiting for—a chance to open my heart and discover what it truly meant to connect with her I realised that something profound was shifting inside me. Perhaps this engagement was not just a formality; perhaps it was the beginning of something I had never allowed myself to believe in—connection, trust, and maybe, just maybe, love.-

it felt like' jo bhi h sab mera sab tere hwale krdia' moment

As I stood on that stage, my heart felt like a fragile butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. For years, I had kept my emotions cocooned, wrapped tightly in layers of self-protection. But here, with Anaya's presence radiating warmth, I could feel that butterfly stirring within me, fluttering tentatively, unsure of its newfound freedom. Each heartbeat was a delicate flutter, echoing the uncertainty of this momentous occasion.The engagement felt like the first light of dawn breaking after a long, dark night—a transformation I had never anticipated. My heart, once a fortress built on walls of authority and indifference, began to feel like a garden awakening from a long winter. The ground was rich with the potential of feelings I had buried deep, ready to sprout vibrant blooms of affection and care. But with each passing moment, I wrestled with the simultaneous thrill of new growth and the fear of what might flourish within me. Was it love I was feeling, or merely a fleeting infatuation?When Anaya walked towards me, she was like sunlight breaking through clouds, illuminating the shadows that had lingered in my chest for too long. My conflicting emotions danced within me like leaves caught in a gentle breeze, swirling in patterns of excitement and trepidation. There was a magnetic pull toward her beauty, yet an unsettling anxiety about exposing myself to vulnerability. Would I be able to nurture this budding relationship, or would it wither like a flower deprived of sunlight?As she slid the ring onto my finger, it felt as if a spark had ignited within my heart. This moment transformed into a swarm of fireflies illuminating a night sky—each flicker a mix of wonder and awe, yet still shrouded in the mystery of what lay ahead. I could feel an awakening deep inside, a stirring of feelings I had long suppressed, like the first blossoms of spring breaking through the frost. Then came the moment of kneeling before her. Time seemed to suspend, and the world around us faded into a serene silence, amplifying the internal storm within me. It was a moment of surrender, akin to casting away the tightly held secrets of my heart. The act of kneeling felt like removing my armor, revealing the rawness beneath—a blend of humility and longing. I was no longer just the authoritative man everyone expected me to be; I was a soul yearning for connection, desperately seeking to reconcile my guarded past with the promise of a shared future.But as I knelt, doubt lingered in the corners of my mind, shadows in the twilight of my emotions. My heart was a compass spinning in confusion, caught between the desire to protect her and the fear of what I might inadvertently bring into her life. Would I be able to embrace this new journey, or would I end up dragging her into the storms of my unresolved fears?In that moment of exchange, as fireworks exploded in a riot of color above us, I felt the conflicting emotions converge within me, creating a symphony of hope and hesitation. This engagement was not just a promise of forever; it was a leap into the unknown—a dance of two souls on the precipice of a journey filled with uncertainties.And so, in my heart, the butterfly fluttered, the garden blossomed, and the fireflies danced—a beautiful chaos that echoed the complexity of love and the profound change that awaited me. In that moment, I knew I was stepping into something that could transform my world forever, and for the first time in a long time, I felt both terrified and exhilarated.-********************
