Found Life In India

I Love You

Kimaya's POV

Its 2 am. I'm sleeping. I hear my phone buzz. I unlock it to see a text from Abhi: We need to talk. Meet me at Pashan Lake today-11am.

I reply: Its too far from my house!

His reply: I know. That's why i said 11 or i wouldn't mind NOW! So pls. I'll be waiting.

I reply: Okay.

Abhi's POV

"Hey! Anything serious?" She asks as she sees me throwing stones in the lake water. She sits down beside me. Pashan lake is a very remote place. Its never crowded. "My parents wan't me to get married." I say without looking at her. I can see her face turn pale. There's an awkward silence between us for 4-5 seconds. Then finally she says "so?" Seriously?! That's all she has to say?! "So? You don't have anything to say?" I ask.

Kim: Um... so what did you say? I mean did you agree to get married?

Me: I said 'i need time'. Mom wants to know if i have any girlfriend or should she start preparing for an arranged marriage.

Kim: And?

Me: And?

Kim: So do you have any girlfriend?

Kimaya's POV

Abhi forces a short, fake laugh as i ask him.

Abhi: Seriously girl? That's all you've known me since so many years?

Me: You're a virgin?

Abhi: OFF COURSE I'M A VIRGIN! I've not even kissed a girl yet! Just because i'm from USA doesn't make me a playboy!

He says this in a very harsh and serious tone as if he's scolding me.

Me: Sorry. So why have you called me here?

Abhi: You don't feel anything right! Sorry Kimaya to waste your time as well as mine. You may leave.

He says this looking straight at me. I feel myself weaken.

Me: Hey i didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry. But how do you expect me to react?

I say holding his right hand with my left.

Abhi: I don't wanna have an arranged marriage.

He says in a tired way.

Me: But you don't even have a girlfriend to have a love marriage.

He looks at me quietly, expecting me to understand whatever's going on in his mind without him saying it. His deep sky blue eyes have so much pain in them that i am not able to control anymore and i stand up dusting my clothes. Seeing me stand even Abhi gets up.

Abhi: All okay?

He asks with a confused expression. I rush in his arms and hug him tightly. He stands still for sometime in shock and then wraps his arms around me.

Me: You're warm.

Abhi: Just because of you.

I step 2-3 inches away from him to look at him.

Abhi: Lets come straight to the point. You mind if i tell you something?

Me: No. Go on.

Abhi moves closer to me placing his arms on my waist. "I love you." He says smiling a bit. I need time to take in whatever he just said. I always wanted to tell him this. I'm so glad that he took the first step. "I love you too." I say blushing, looking at his now laughing eyes. He then sits down on one knee and says "Will you marry me, pls. I cannot imagine my life without you anymore Kim." "Yes." i reply smiling. "I will."
