Understanding the meaning of Love with MaAn

The Proposal Day

NOTE: SORRY FOR THE DELAY GUYS!! I HAD SOME ACADEMIC DELAYS!! THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG UPDATE!! 

Precap: Anurag grinned mischievously, his eyes twinkling. "Wait and watch, Mummy. Kal sab clear ho jayega."

Before Anupamaa could press him further, Anurag gave her a quick pat on the shoulder and dashed back to the garba circle, leaving her intrigued and a little anxious. Whatever he had planned, she knew it would be something creative, thoughtful, and undoubtedly entertaining.

Anupamaa shook her head fondly, a small smile playing on her lips as she rejoined the family in the festivities. Tomorrow promised to be an unforgettable day, and she had no choice but to trust Anurag's plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anupamaa lay in her room, her thoughts restless as sleep evaded her. The entire night, her mind swirled with excitement and nervousness about how she would propose to Anuj. She wanted the moment to be perfect—memorable, magical, and special, just like him. Her heart fluttered at the mere thought of his reaction. Would he smile? Would his eyes sparkle with happiness, as they often did when he looked at her? Would he say something that would make her heart race even faster?

But with the excitement came a trail of worries. She couldn't shake off her fears

- Joh suit kal pehen na hai... uska delivery late hogaya toh.. 
- Sab ke saamne theek se nahi bol payi toh..
- Anuj ko sab ke saamne embaress kardiya toh???

Each concern felt heavier than the last, but her determination to make the day special overpowered her anxieties.

Unable to lie still any longer, she moved to the dressing table and opened the drawer. Her eyes fell on a bundle of neatly folded sheets of paper. She picked them up with care, as if holding a treasure, and sat back down. These were the letters Anuj had written for her during Navratri—nine heartfelt notes that had accompanied nine exquisite sarees he had gifted her, one for each day of the festival. She couldn't help but smile as she read through them again, her fingers lightly tracing the words that seemed to carry his very essence.

Each letter was a reflection of Anuj's deep love and respect for her. It was as if he had poured his soul onto the paper, letting her see the depths of his heart. As she read, a warmth spread through her chest, and she found herself talking aloud to no one in particular. "Yeh Anuj bhi na... Itna pyaar koi kese karsaktha hai... Aur toh aur... mujhe itna sammaan dethe hai... Mujhe lagtha tha... ese ladke sirf filmo mei hothe hai... mujhe nahi pata.. mera kis janam ka punya hai... mujhe Anuj jesa pati..... ".She paused mid-sentence, her eyes widening as realization hit her. She chuckled nervously and lightly smacked her forehead. "Anu... kya bol rahi hai.....Abhi bhi pati nahi hai woh tera... Gadedi... propose bhi nahi hua.... Aur toh kahan pohoch gayi Anudi..."

She shook her head, a sheepish grin on her face, and tucked the letters back into the drawer, her heart feeling fuller than ever. The love she felt for Anuj was overwhelming, almost surreal, and she knew she wanted to make their moment nothing short of extraordinary.

As she finally lay back down, her determination crystallized. Tomorrow was going to be perfect. She would wake up early, get everything in place, and ensure not a single detail was overlooked. She closed her eyes, imagining how the day would unfold, and with that comforting thought, she drifted off into a light but contented sleep.

The first rays of dawn broke through the curtains, gently kissing Anupamaa's face. Her eyes fluttered open, a soft smile gracing her lips as the memory of the day's significance came rushing back. "Aaj ka din bahut khaas hai," she whispered to herself. Her heart swelled with excitement and nervous energy, but she knew what she had to do.
