Promise

'Oh, I am getting late' I thought to myself looking at the wall clock of my bedroom which was showing 8 of evening and the cafe was supposed to be closed at 9pm . I quickly combed my hairs and applied little makeup because he like the simple me.
Suddenly I received a call. Its from the cab driver whom I called a while ago. I reached for my purse and paced towards the door.
I headed outside my apartment and popped inside the cab still looking into the small mirror I took with me.

I was sitting on the chair of the cafe , running my hands on A❤️R(Aruhi❤️Ruhan) etched on wooden table and remembering those days when we used to met each other before he went to Germany but he made a promise with me that we will meet again. We were friends since childhood but became lovers in college times. Now He just came back to India for business and I decided to meet him at our place to relive our love memories.

'Will he keep his promise?' I mumbled to myself making lines on my forehead. I waited for 45 minutes and then walked outside the door which was about to close.

'I will not spare him' I groaned.
I was standing outside the cafe and was about to book a cab when suddenly a car appeared in front of me. A tall gentleman wearing a well fitted suit and properly jelled hairs, stepped outside of the car.

'You are late Mr NRI ' I said crossing my arms

'sorry to keep you waiting your highnesses ' ruhan said and bowed slightly at me, which made me chuckled.

'now what will we do the cafe is already closed? ' I said in a stern voice.

A sudden silence developed between us.

'just sit in my car' he answered.

'if I say no' I said arching an eyebrow.

'then I will go alone' he said shrugging his shoulders.He went inside his car. I am stubborn I won't go with him. He started the engine and about to leave and I was still standing looking away from him, trying to stop myself.

' I... I am coming' I said and give up. I sat inside his car on the seat beside him .

Car stopped in front of a small park. He stepped outside from his car, walked to the opposite side opened his car's door and he reached for my hand. I held his hand and walked outside of the car towards the centre of the park .I looked all around the park.

'remember this park?' he asked.

'where we used to play together'

'if we want to relive our memories then nothing is better than childhood memories.' he continued with a smile

I touched every single memories of our childhood, the grass on which we ran after each other, that slide where we used to fight for who will go first and my favourite swing where we used to push each as high as we can. The innocent laughter we shared with each other keeps rolling in front of my in the form of memories. I was about to cry in happiness. Then I realise his hand sliding on mine. He held it with soft grip looking onto the smile he missed in Germany.

'those memories are precious to me as well but I don't want to stick to them to my whole life ' he said making my smile disappeared.

'But I want to live our new beginning' he continued with a slight smile.

He shoved his hand through his pocket, took out a box , bend on his knees and opened the box with a dazzling diamond ring inside it.

'aruhi.. do I have permission ? ' he said seeking an answer in my eyes who said yes to him. He hugged me .

'but I still didn't forgive you for keep me waiting' I pouted with fake childish anger.

'I will take care of it' he said with a satisfied grin on his face and pulled me closer in his warm hug .

Now A weds R is written on that wooden table.
