The Guy I Met In College (COMPLETE)

Ready

It's been a whole month and the search for Aman has continued on. My father revealed that he sent Aman on a trip with another agent to receive some drives from and undercover assignment. But on the way back, Aman's pilot crashed the plane due to something wrong with the landing gear. We have no connection with Aman or where he is. All contact with the other agent was lost and there is nothing from the pilot either. I am worried about him... even though he isn't here everyone is still planning the engagement. My dad believes Aman is invincible and can't die. Which I sort of believe, I mean Aman has been through so much and is still alive! Yet here I sit mopping because I miss him so much.
"I think she'll like it!" Aisha says walking into the room with the group following behind her. They all walk into the sitting area and crowd around where I'm sitting. Then, they stare at me like they are expecting something from me.
"Yes?" I ask a bit harshly.
"Told you she wasn't in the mood!" Anjali squeals  pointing a finger at Kabir. He just gives her a look and looks back down at me.
"We have a surprise for you!" Alina says excitedly.
"Kya?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"You'll have to come with us and see!" Aisha says smiling. I look at everyone and know they won't budge until they get me to come with them. I sigh and stand up fixing my shirt.
"Challo!" Gene says excitedly and runs out of the room with Kabir and Rajveer following him. Well they seem... eager. I smile slightly and continue walking with Aisha. We head towards the backyard and when we get out there my jaw drops and I stop walking. This is... amazing. I see a gazebo set up and a huge tent set up a few feet next to it. It has tables and everything! Lights strung inside and out of both the gazebo and tent. I walk over and stare at everything in amazement. This must be for the engagement...
"So what do you think?!" Tina squeals.
"It's amazing," I breathe out walking under the gazebo and slowly turning around.
"We thought we'd have everything ready for when Aman comes back," Gene smiles. I turn and look at Gene with tears forming in my eyes. I miss him, I miss Aman.
"How do we know he's coming back for sure?" I ask stepping out from under the gazebo.
"I know Aman, he's strong... he's going to come back," Aisha says walking up to me with a faint smile.
"When?" I ask looking down at the ground.
"Is now a good time?" A familiar voice says and I look up. I divert my eyes from the group then to the tent where the voice came from. Tears well up in my eyes and my feet start fast towards him. I throw myself into his arms and he lifts me up slightly, hugging me tightly. This has to be a dream...
"It's not a dream baby," Aman whispers into my ear and a smile forms on my lips. I have got to stop thinking out loud! Aman puts me down and pulls back from our hug smiling down at me, I notice a bandage on his temple but other then that completely in shape.
"Where have you been?" I ask feeling tears rush down my face.
"Trying to get back to you, I arrived back this morning, I had to take a long journey back to here. I came back for you," he smiles wiping away my tears with his thumbs.
"You have to start telling me things Aman! I don't want to lose you!" I sob and he pulls me into a hug kissing my temple.
"I'm so sorry baby," he says rubbing my back. I smile slightly while keeping my hold around him. It feels like forever since I've been in his arms. I missed him.
"Look who's back," my dads voice cuts through my thoughts and I pull back from Aman.
"Good morning sir," Aman says straightening his back.
"No need for that," my mother laughs clinging to my father's arm.
"When are you two getting engaged?" My father asks while stopping in front of Aman and I.
"As soon as Priya gets her outfit," Aman answers looking at me with a sly smile on.
"Don't you have to get an outfit too?" I ask.
"I've had one picked out for a while now," he says winking at me. I smile and kiss him on the cheek before looking back at my parents who are smiling at us.
"Alina, Tina, Aisha, Courtney, Anjali and I, are taking you shopping," my mom says with excitement in her voice.
"What about Mel-" Tina pipes up but Courtney nudges her arm. Aman releases his arm around me and stares at Tina with confusion on his face.
"What were you about to say?" He asks taking a step away from me.
"I um..." Tina says hesitantly.
"Were you about to say Melissa?" Aman asks with his voice becoming a bit shaky. Tina's silence confirms what Aman asked. He strides right up to Tina and holds her arms gently shaking her.
"Where is she?" He asks with hope heavy in his voice.
"Kitchen," Tina says smiling slightly. Aman gives Tina a kiss on the forehead and runs into headquarters. We all smile at each other and follow behind him. I manage to get in the door before the group and we rush after Aman to the kitchen. He turns the corner and I hurry to see them. I stop at the entrance, they group stopping too. I watch smiling as Aman slowly walks up behind his sister. She is reaching out for a cup in the cabinet but seems to be struggling. Aman grabs the cup for her and she turns looking at him. Her mouth dropping open and tears quickly filling her eyes. Aman is smiling at her with the cup still in his hands.
"Your cup," he smiles and she jumps into his arms hugging him tightly. He puts the cup down quickly and wraps his arms around her.
"I'm so sorry Aman!" She says sobbing.
"Shhhh, it's okay, I can't believe your here..." he says holding her tightly like someone is trying to take her away.
"I had to come to my brothers wedding," she laughs lifting her head as Aman slowly releases her from the hug.
"Who told you," he asks wiping away his tears with a smile forming on his lips.
"Your fiancée," Melissa smiles looking over at me. Aman looks at me and strides over towards me smashing his lips against mine roughly but passionately. I wither slightly in his arms but pull back remembering the group standing right next to us. He holds my hands and smiles.
"Thank you Priya," he says lovingly. I smile and look over at Tina before looking back at Aman.
"Tina helped too," I giggle and he looks over at her. She giggles as he goes over to her and hugs her. They pull back from their hug and he looks back at Melissa.
"Bring it in everyone!" Aman says happily and we all crowd around him in a group hug. Everything feels perfect. I can't believe this will soon be my life, my family. I'm ready for this new chapter of my life. I'm ready to be Mrs. Mathur. Priya Mathur.
