2nd July 2016

Nikhil's POV:

I took about an hour to get ready today. My dad once told me that black blazer can never go wrong, so I decided to go with his choice and opted for a simple black blazer with a lavender colored shirt. 

I was excited, nervous, stressed, maybe shy, tensed, restless above all scared, what if it is a no?. I could not lose her. I fell for her from the day I saw her.

I don't know if it was her eyes or voice or personality or nature or looks or simplicity, but whatever it is, I fell for her pretty hard.

I looked at the ring I bought for her.

I knew she didn't like flash mob so I selected a very calm and beautiful place. I had done all the necessary arrangements and then she came.

She wore a simple blue dress. She looked extremely cute, beautiful, elegant, glamorous and hot at the same time.

She kept looking at the decorations and was amazed. Maybe she started speculating that I was going to propose her today. She came and stood before me. Neither she spoke not I did instead we kept looking at each other and this was heaven for me.

Deeksha's POV:

I picked a powder blue skater dress with white floral appliqué detail. I never used any primer or foundation. I loved being natural. 

I applied a light shade of eyeshade, a thin line of eyeliner and for the final touches, I went for a mascara. Beige sandals, hair half tied up and a youthful pink lip rounded my lookout.  

I was highly anxious about tonight but was spellbound when I reached the venue. I pinched myself just to ensure that it was not a dream.

The love of my life was in front of me and I was anticipating that he would propose to me at any moment.

And then he started coming closer to me. Goosebumps all over my body. This was totally unexpected. I never thought Nikhil would do so much for me.

Everything seems so amazing when you are in love and you get so many beautiful reasons to be happy and the most beautiful reason was currently in front of me.

He held me tight, both his hands possessing my arms with a negligible gap between us and said looking straight into my eyes 

"Deeksha, listen to me carefully. Whatever I am going to tell you now is the biggest truth of my life. I love you. I really really do"

My happiness could not be described in words. Tears welled up in my eyes. I didn't know the reason but I wanted to bury myself in his arms and cry.

And then he continued,

"Look into my eyes Deeksha, do you find love in them? if not then listen, you mean the world to me. Since the day I have seen you I have fallen for you. I won't force you for anything, after all, it is your life, your wish. I can't force you to love me, that is...."

And I cut his crap by hugging him,

"You just have no idea since when I have been waiting for this day", I said in between my sobs. I don't know for how long we stayed like that. 

"So?", he asked caressing my hair. 

"So what?", I asked slowly breaking the hug. 

"So tell", he instructed as if I am a kid

"Tell what?", I asked trying to be as sincere as I can

"Deeksha"

"Nikhil"

"Fine", he said 

He looked so adorable. But then this was out moment. I wanted it to be special to both of us. 

"I love you Nikhil", I said honestly. Only I knew how much I loved him and I was absolutely sure of my feelings for him. 

And then the expression on his face was priceless. It looked as if he had conquered the world and then, oh my he knelt down before me. He took out a ring and asked,

"Deeksha, will you marry me? "

I couldn't ask for anything more than this. This was the ultimate. I could barely speak anything except a nod, a yes and tears of happiness. Next moment, he slipped the ring was on my finger and we were officially engaged.

Nikhil held the car open and I got in. He made me feel safe and protected like his doll. We reached home. We had a brief hug and he pulled me by my wrist when I was about to go. 

But unfortunately my home was located in a very prestigious locality and strictly no PDAs were allowed. I let my hand go and entered the home but I had already started missing him.

It was the happiest day of my life. I felt different. I felt loved, wanted, desired and special. Love is truly the most beautiful feeling.
