Deeksha's POV:

"You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you"

Oh no, I knew Nikhil was calling because he got the best ringtone and now I wasn't finding my phone. Damn, this always happens.

"Where were you?", was his first question when I picked.

"Lost", I giggled.

"Forget it. Guess what, mom told that the wedding date is almost finalized. We will be married within 3 months from now. Isn't that great?", he said jubilantly.

"Yeah", I nodded. 

"I really can't stay away from you anymore", he said. I was so lost that I didn't know how to react. 

Wedding meant that I had to go away from the two people who were my lifelines. Before Nikhil, my life revolved only around mom and dad. They had a solution to my every little problem.

I still remember those days when dad used to teach me how to ride a bicycle, when I used to sleep on mom's lap, that moment when I got the first rank in the first standard, when I slipped in the bathroom in third, when I met with an accident in sixth and my mom had walked 7 km barefoot to a temple praying for my recovery, when I topped my school in 10th and what not.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Knock knock", he coughed. 

"Sorry, Nikhil", I said slightly disappointed 

"Sorry? Come on Deeksha, the answer has to be who's there?", he said teasing me. 

"Hey, are you fine? what happened?", he asked worriedly. Probably he had heard me gasping. 

"Deeksha please tell me, what am I supposed to infer if you keep crying like this? Oh, wait, you still want to marry me right? Or is it a no now?", he asked continuing to worry. 

"Gosh! No Nikhil", I said. 

"What? Are you seriously telling a no?", this time he sounded agonized. Is he mad?

"No, I mean of course I want to marry you. It's just that I will miss mom and dad after a few months. It will be very hard to live without them", I said trying to control my tears. I was extremely attached to my parents.

"Oh, I understand. But you don't have to worry princess. I have promised your dad that I will love you more than they do and I think I have already started fulfilling that. You have no clue how do you make me feel Deeksha", he said

"How?", I asked

"What?", he asked with a surprise

"How do I make you feel?", I asked again. Damn, I was myself shocked that I told this.

"You seriously want to know?"

"Yes," I said shyly nodding my head.

"You make me feel worth living. I love you so much Deeksha, you have no idea. I promise you I shall always value your happiness more than mine. I don't just want to be your husband instead I want to be your best friend with whom you can share every little thing without any hesitation.
