FROM STRANGERS TO SOULMATES (RE-EDITED)

CHAPTER 29 : LOVE PROPOSAL

TIME SKIP

JUVIA'S POV

Now me and my friends are on our way to Levy-San's house in a cab.

"Yeah stop here, driver. This is the place where we need to get down." Lucy-san told him.

We got down in front of the Mcgarden's Mansion. After clearing out the security check in the main gate, their servant led us inside the mansion.

We saw Levy-San sitting on the sofa along with her parents. We greeted her parents and gave her a warm hug and wished her, "Happy Birthday". She wholeheartedly smiled at us.

Then she introduced me to her parents, "Mom, Dad!! She is Juvia, Gajeel's sister."

"Oh!! Didn't know our future son-in-law had such a cute and beautiful sister. Nice meeting you, dear. Now you are also a part of our family." They flashed their warm smile.

"Okay girls, come let's go to my room." She led us to her room.

After going to her room, we gave her presents which we brought. I gave her a silver floral bracelet, Erza-San gave her a photo frame which contains a group pic of our gang which we took after the sports event and Lucy-san gave her a trilogy collection of her favourite author.

Levy-San began to tear up, "you girls are the best. I'm blessed to have you as my friends. Thank you guys."

"So Levy, what gift did your parents give you?" Erza-San asked her.

She smiled brightly and wiped her tears, "They gave me the permission that I can marry Gajeel anytime."

We congratulated her but her face adorned a frown, "But before that Gajeel must bring the proposal, will he do that? Moreover, he didn't call me till to wish me birthday." She pouted.

"Lucy, Erza, why did you guys bring a bag? Are you staying over here with me?" She asked them.

Their bag contained the dresses required for 2 days stay at the beach resort.

I packed my bag, told Gray to bring it with him, at the start he didn't agree but later compiled it to my order.

"No, we are taking you to a place and we are going to stay there for 2 days." Lucy-san exclaimed.

Soon after eating the lunch, we left for the beach resort, obviously to Levy-San's guessing.

GRAY'S POV

Now, I and Natsu are on our way to the resort, Gajeel and Jellal went ahead of us to prepare the things for the party.

We got late because the artist took sometime to finish the final details of the portrait at the last moment.

But the portrait has turned out to be quite a realistic sketch. Hope my Juvia likes it.

"Hey Ice-prick, Juvia made you her servant huh!!" Natsu teased me.

I raised my brows and gave him a questioning look, "what makes you say that huh?"

He pointed to the extra baggage I was carrying along with my bag. "Shut up, I'm helping her out. Don't ruin my mood." I growled at him while he was still laughing.

We soon reached the resort and took the direction towards the birthday hall from the receptionist. The hall was situated at the first floor's left wing.

As we entered, it was indeed decorated splendidly and much to Levy's liking.

Blue, white and red balloons covering the wall and floor with a red carpet and a central stage.
