whispers in DARK

Chapter 12

One evening, after a long day of work, Keerthi returned home to find Krish waiting for her in her living room. The room was dimly lit, filled with the soft glow of candles and the delicious aroma of her favorite meal wafting through the air.

"Surprise!" he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy.

Keerthi's heart soared as she took in the scene. "Krish, this is amazing! You didn't have to do all this."

"I wanted to," he said, stepping closer and taking her hands in his. "I thought we could celebrate how far we've come and talk about what's next for us."

As they sat down to dinner, the atmosphere felt intimate and special. They shared stories, laughter, and dreams for the future, their connection growing deeper with each moment. After they finished eating, Krish cleared the table, but Keerthi could sense a shift in the air-a tension that hinted at something significant.

"Keerthi," he began, returning to the living room with a small, beautifully wrapped box. "I've been thinking about this for a while. I want you to know how much you mean to me."

Her heart raced as he handed her the box, her fingers trembling slightly. "What is this?"

"Just open it," he urged, a warm smile on his face.

With bated breath, she carefully unwrapped the box, revealing a delicate silver bracelet adorned with charms that symbolized their journey together-a tiny airplane for their travels, a paintbrush for her design passion, and a heart to represent their love.

"It's beautiful, Krish! I love it!" she exclaimed, overwhelmed with emotion.

"I wanted it to remind you of our journey and all the memories we've created," he said, his voice steady. "And to symbolize the adventures still ahead of us."

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at him, her heart swelling with gratitude and love. "Thank you. This means so much to me."

"But that's not all," Krish continued, his expression turning serious. "Keerthi, I want to ask you something important. You're my best friend, my partner, and the love of my life. Will you take this next step with me and promise to explore our future together? I want to build a life with you, and I can't imagine doing it with anyone else."

Keerthi's breath caught in her throat, a wave of emotion crashing over her. "Yes! Yes, I want that too!" she declared, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.

Krish's face broke into a radiant smile as he reached out to wipe her tears. "Then let's make this official, one step at a time. I want us to grow together, and I'm ready for everything that comes next."

As they embraced, Keerthi felt a sense of certainty wash over her. They had faced misunderstandings, doubts, and challenges, but together they had built a love that was strong and true. In that moment, surrounded by warmth and the promise of the future, Keerthi knew they were ready for whatever came next.

Days turned into months, and as they navigated through life together, Keerthi and Krish continued to grow, supporting each other through their ambitions and dreams. With every shared moment, they fortified their bond, crafting a love story that was uniquely theirs-filled with laughter, trust, and an unwavering commitment to each other.

As they stood on the threshold of their future, Keerthi couldn't help but think that this was just the beginning of their beautiful journey together. Whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them hand in hand, heart in heart, ready to embrace the whispers of their dreams in the dark.
