4 Months Later
The restaurant is dimly lit, with soft jazz playing in the background. Elegant chandeliers cast a warm glow over the tables, each adorned with flickering candles. Zac, sits across from Fatima a dressed in a chic, flowing gown. They are clearly in love, sharing laughter and stories over a sumptuous meal.
Fatima:(playing with her wine glass) I can't believe you picked this place. It's absolutely stunning!
Zac:(grinning, a hint of nervousness in his eyes)I thought you deserved something special. You know, for all this drama Karen been trying to get out of us.
Fatima leans forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Fatima:You always know how to make a girl feel appreciated. What did I do to deserve you?
Zac chuckles, his heart racing a bit. He glances around the room, spotting the subtle details of the ambiance-perfect for what he has planned.
Zac:(heartfelt) You just being you is enough, Fatima. You light up every room you walk into.
Fatima blushes, leaning back in her chair, her expression flattered yet playful.
Fatima:Oh stop! You're going to make me blush.
Zac takes a deep breath, reaching for a small box tucked discreetly in his jacket pocket. He fumbles slightly, his hand feeling clammy. Just then, the Waiter Walks Over
Waiter:May I tempt you with our special dessert? It's a chocolate lava cake with raspberry coulis. approaches with a dessert tray.
Zac:(beaming) That sounds amazing! We'll take two
As the waiter moves away, Zac seizes the moment.
Zac:slightly nervous, but determined) Speaking of sweetness... Fatima, I-
Before he can finish, Fatima interrupts, her eyes wide with excitement.
Fatima:Oh! Did you hear about the wedding expo coming up? We should totally go! Imagine all the styles we could pick!
Zac's heart sinks just a little, but he plays along, smiling at her enthusiasm.
Zac:(smirking) Yeah, I guess that'd be fun... but maybe we could skip the expo and go straight to the alter?
Fatima laughs, thinking he's joking, oblivious to the underlying seriousness of his words.
Fatima:You're such a dork! But seriously, we need to plan for that. Don't you want a big fairy-tale wedding?
Zac glances at the dessert plate, weighing his options. The waiter arrives with their desserts, placing the decadent cakes in front of them.
Waiter:Enjoy!
Zac:(turns serious) Fatima, can I ask you something?
The playful expression fades slightly from Fatima's face, replaced with a hint of curiosity.
Fatima:Of course! What's on your mind?
He opens the small box, revealing a glittering ring nestled inside. Fatima gasps, her hand covering her mouth in shock.
Zac:(earnestly)I never thought I would find someone as amazing and inspiring as you. You make every day brighter, and I can't imagine my life without you.
He takes a deep breath, his gaze locked onto hers, vulnerable yet hopeful.
Zac:Will you marry me?
Fatima:(shocked) Zac
Zac: Yes Or No?
Fatima Takes A Deep Breath
Fatima:Y- Yes
