Taming My Husband

The engagement day

Noor's POV

It is the D-day and surprisingly Arjun is very calm and happy. It seems that his talk with Nissa went well but I still have my doubts. Roon is with Nissa at this moment and bringing her here for the surprise. I really hope that for Arjun's sake, Nissa will say yes.

Anyways I have all the reasons to be ecstatic. I have mended my fued with Adi and I am so happy. It feels great to be back in his arms. He is so hot! By the way I haven't seen him since morning. Where is he?

Wait what's that smell! Chocolate. Yum. Now I am hungry. God! This is so delicious. Hmm. I can eat this all day. However if I keep eating like this then I will definitely end up like a buffalo by the time Arjun gets married.

My eating session gets interrupted when light goes off suddenly. And then a single light flashes at the door. The door slowly opens and there comes Nissa.

The spotlight is on Nissa and then I see another spotlight on Arjun. I guess this is the time for the grand proposal.

'Nissa, I remember the moment when I saw you for the first time. It feels like yesterday when I saw you running towards me, your pigtails bouncing with each step. It has been 20 years since that time but I still remember your face from that day. To me you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen or I would ever see. In that moment I decided that I was going to marry you when I grow up. And here we are.

I have a few confessions to make. I was the one who scared away all your potential boyfriends. I was the one who beat the guy who wanted to kiss you back in college because hey, I couldn't let anyone kiss my girl right! I know you will probably be angry with me that I messed up your chances of having a relationship but the fact is that I am your prince charming and you are my princess. You have been since you were 5. No one can love you as much as I do and that is the truth.

I asked you to be my girlfriend only an year back because I wanted to achieve something before being with you. I wanted to be the man you deserve. I wanted to be someone that you could possibly fall in love with. And also I knew that had we been together when we were still young, I would have married you a long time back, may be even forcefully despite knowing that you might not be ready. And the reason is that baby I am madly in love with you and each day that I spend with you without being married to you is like having my dream right in front of me and yet knowing you can't have it no matter what you do because your dream is not ready to be yours.

And I know that I messed up when I finally decided to be with you. I guess I thought that you already knew the depth of my love for you so you would never leave me and I took you for granted. And that's where I was wrong. And I am so sorry for that. It took you leaving me to make me realise that I have been so stupid to not express my love to you clearly.

So here I am, expressing it in front of everyone. I love you. I have loved you for the last 20 years of my life and I will continue to do so till the day I take my last breath, maybe even after that, if possible. I promise that I will be the best husband for you and I will cherish you, love you and accept you with all your craziness. I promise that I will be more sensitive and understanding especially when you don't feel like being with me. And I promise that I will try my best to make sure that you don't feel that way towards me. I love you Nissa, always have, always will'.

Arjun bends on one knee and asks, 'Will you please do the honour of marrying me and be my wife, forever'.

Oh my! That was so beautiful. Nissa please say yes. And then I notice the stream of tears running down Nissa's face. I think she is in shock.

But soon Nissa falls down on her knees taking Arjun in her arms and replies,' Yes Yes Yes. Of course I will marry you Arjun. I can't imagine spending a single day of my life without being married to you'.

Arjun asks,' Are you sure? I won't force you this time'.

Is he stupid? Which girl in this world can ever say no that proposal!

Nissa replies,' I love you Arjun. And I am going to marry you even if I have to force you into it. In fact, I think I am going to kidnap you with the help of Noor and Roon and force you to marry me at gunpoint if need be'. That brings a huge smile on Arjun's face,' Oh sweetheart! I love you and there is no need to kidnap me. But if that is your dream then I would definitely let you kidnap me willingly'.

Awww! They are so cute.

I feel someone's hands on my shoulders and I turn to see Adi standing there looking at me with so much love. 'You are crying', he says wiping my tears. 'I know. How can I not. My friends are in love and they are getting married. I am so happy for them', I say. 'I need to tell you something. Will you come with me?', he asks. 'Is everything alright', I ask seeing the sad expression on his face. 'Everything's fine. I have a surprise for you'. That gets me excited. 'Wow. Adi I love your surprises. Let's go'.

I follow Adi into one of the guest rooms in Arjun's house. He makes me sit on the chair and he sits in front of me on his knees. 'Adi why aren't you sitting on the chair?', I ask surprised at his action.

He looks at me and I see a myriad of emotions cross his face. I can see sadness, pain, regret, fear and most of all love. Now I am scared. What is his surprise.

'Noor I love you. I love you so so much. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't thank you enough for choosing me. I have hurt you and made you stay away from your friends, your family and I believe that I have been a very bad husband. I never believed that I am going to marry one day but when I saw you I knew that I couldn't let you go. I was selfish. I knew that I wasn't the best for you and I still married you. It was wrong of me to take advantage of your feelings when I knew I couldn't reciprocate them.

And when I doubted your loyalty to me, I proved yet again that you deserve so much better. And now that I am in love with you, I can't be selfish anymore. I have decided that I am going to let you go. You deserve another chance to find the right man for you. It is going to hurt me a lot but your happiness is my priority now. I can do anything to make you happy. And I have realised that your happiness is not with me.

Here are the divorce papers. I have already signed them. I will talk to both our families and explain that I am not good for you and I am sure they will understand. I love you Noor. Always. Remember that', he ends his speech by placing a gentle kiss on my lips.
