The Secret Symphony of Love

Part - 26

The stars shine brightly in the sky, a gentle breeze carries the crisp scent of the night, and the world feels still as Alex and Siya lie on a soft blanket in the middle of the glowing hill where Alex proposed.

Siya: (resting her head on Alex’s chest, her voice soft and dreamy) "Alex… this feels unreal. Like a dream I never want to wake up from."

Alex smiling as he gazes up at the stars, one arm wrapped protectively around her.

Alex: (Smiling) "It’s not a dream, Siya. It’s us. And I promise, I’ll make every moment feel like this - magical."

Siya tilts her head up to look at him, her face glowing with happiness, a smile spreading across her lips.

Siya: "You know… I never thought I’d find someone like you. Someone who makes me feel so safe, so loved."

Alex looks down at her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. His eyes soften as he sees the contentment in her expression.

Alex: (quietly) "And I never thought I’d find someone who’d make me feel whole. You’ve done that for me, Siya."

As Siya closes her eyes, enjoying the rhythm of his heartbeat, Alex’s mind drifts. He recalls his earlier conversation with Noah.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Recalling,

Noah: (on the phone, teasing but serious) "Alex, you need to tell her the truth. She deserves to know who you really are."

Alex: (gruffly, trying to dismiss it) "Not yet, Noah. I can’t. What if… what if she leaves me?"

Noah: (sighs) "If she loves you, she’ll understand. You can’t keep hiding this forever. Don’t let the truth destroy what you’ve just started."

Alex had brushed off Noah’s words at the time, but now, as he looks at Siya’s calm face, her innocent smile, he feels a pang of guilt. He leans down and kisses her forehead deeply, as if trying to imprint this moment in his memory.

Mid-night,

Alex and Siya leaves for resort nearby hill station which Noah has already booked for them. A black car picks them up, and after a few minutes of scenic views, they arrive at a high-end resort nestled in the hills. The night manager greets them warmly.

Night Manager: (with a polite smile) "Welcome, Mr. Vanden. Your suite is ready. We hope you enjoy your stay."

Alex nods, his arm lightly around Siya’s waist as they walk inside. Siya, curious and excited, follows him to their suite. As Alex opens the door, they both stop in their tracks.

The room is lavishly decorated with flickering candles, rose petals scattered across the floor and bed, and a faint aroma of lavender in the air. The ambiance screams "honeymoon."

Siya: (her eyes wide, cheeks flushing red as she looks around in shock) "A...Alex! What… what is this?"

Alex leaned casually against the doorframe, his signature smirk lighting up his face. His piercing gaze drank her in, her blushing cheeks and shy posture only fueling his amusement.

Alex: (teasingly) "Too much? You deserve so much more, angel,"

His deep voice dripping with mischief. She bit her lip nervously and took a hesitant step inside.

Siya: “But Alex… this kind of setup… it’s…”

Alex: (interrupting) “Romantic?”

Stepping closer, his tall frame towering over her. His fingers brushed a strand of hair from her face, lingering just long enough to make her heart skip a beat.
