"Of course, I will marry you," I said and hopped on Tejas.

He caught me with one hand and stabilized us before we toppled backwards. I was so happy that I couldn't think of anything else other than his proposal.

This is such a big and wonderful surprise. I never imagined that Tejas would ask me for marriage - we are still in our last year of college, so the talks of marriage were going to start some years later even if it was fixed from my side that I was going to marry him only. I didn't know that Tejas was already ahead of me this time also.

I hugged him tightly, and he stood up, holding me against him. I sensed him trying to move me away, so I increased my grip on him.

"Just one more minute. I am still processing your proposal," I told him.

His laughter travelled through me. "You already said yes though. I am not pushing you away, Hamster. The ring is waiting for you."

The ring?! Oh, yes, I completely forgot about it.

I shot him a sheepish grin after breaking the hug, and he took a deep breath as his gaze danced over me.

"Just so you don't misunderstand, this is not our engagement," he said.

"It isn't?" I asked in surprise. "Then why are you dressed like this and giving me the ring? You look very handsome, and even I have come prepared coincidentally."

He smirked. "It wasn't a coincidence. I am very happy that you loved the saree. I was afraid if aunty and the girls will be able to carry out the plan or not, but they did a fantastic job."

I was no longer surprised and pointed at myself. "I won't question your perfect choice."

He nodded knowingly. "Yes, my Hamster is very perfect. Can I please put the ring on your finger now?"

"You can, but if it isn't our engagement, then what is it?" I asked him as I raised my left hand towards him.

He held my hand and smiled. "This is a pre-engagement promise ring. In no way, I want you to feel that I am not serious about you or would change my mind in the future. Bhoomi, I promise to always love you, cherish you, protect you, and most importantly, wish to call you my Hamster for the rest of our lives - and even after death. Will you please accept my promise and dreams that I want to build with you?"

A tear rolled down my cheek as I admired him saying such sweet words with so much sincerity.

"Yes, Mr. Tejas Prakash Jaiswal, I accept your promise," I said.

He wiped my tears and gently slid the gorgeous ring on my ring finger before pulling me into a warm hug. The sound of applause, and our friends and family cheering in celebration for us seemed lighter in front of my heartbeats.
