I parked the car in front of her house, waiting for her to come out. After a minute or two, she opened the door, flashing her dimples. I stood there wide eyed. She wore a pink pastel short dress,her hair tied into a high ponytail. She jogged up to me, jumping on me.

After a ride of 20 minutes, we reached the amusement park. I wasn't a fan but Rey told me about her love for rides. And there I stood in front of a hyper roller coaster. My palms were sweating but it all felt nothing when I saw her face. She was smiling bright and amused.

I was feeling nauseous after finishing the ride and Auro noticed it.

"Hope? You don't seem well..", she asked worried.

"I'm fine. It's just I'm a bit scared of rides.", I held my head as my vision blurred a bit.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry. I had no idea.", she said patting my back.

I smile looking at her, giving her a peck on cheeks. Her cheeks flushed a red tint.

It was still early in the afternoon, we had lunch and she kept on teasing and winking at me the whole time, making me flustered.

We walked towards the car when she suddenly pressed her body on me, trapping me in between her and the car. Her hands found way to my back, sliding down towards my butt. I stood there dazed trying to process everything. She grabbed my butt leaning close to me. Before I could say anything, she stepped back, jiggling the key in front of my face. "Let me drive. I wanna take you somewhere."

Throughout the whole ride, she kept on squeezing my thighs and placed my hand on hers. I was trying hard not to bulge. But she wasn't helping either. When I saw her perfect jawline, my mind ran through the wildest fantasies. Shouldn't have wore skinny jeans.

I was so focused on diverting the sexual tension that I didn't noticed we already reached. I got out of the car and my heart started beating rapidly. Mausoleum. Auro went to the florist & bought a bouquet of blue heart Lily. She took my hand leading me inside the building.

"Hey, take me to her.", she said and I nodded avoiding eye contact. After crossing several columns, we stood in front of her cremation niche. She placed the flowers in the vase and burnt the incense sticks.

"Hey Kate! I'm Aurora. This idiot may not have told you about me but I know you very well. How? Because this boy standing next to me, loved you so much. He may not have got the chance to say this, but trust me, he really loved you.", she turned her head towards me and gave a smile, nodding.

"And there's one more thing I wanted to share. He had proposed me recently. That's doesn't mean, his love for you have faded. It won't, ever. I'm taking a small part of his heart, residing in it. You were a strong girl, Kate. I admire you, I really do. Don't worry him. I'll take care of him. I hope we'll meet often.", she clasped her hands giving out a hearty laugh.

What did I do to deserve them? One gave up on her life for me and the other gave me a new life. I tucked my lip hard, trying to not cry. But I ended up letting out stifled sobs. I was pulled into her warm embrace. Staying there for some time, she let me go.

"Talk to her if you want. I'll be waiting outside.", she gave me a sad smile and started walking and I grabbed her arm saying, " You spoke out my heart, there's nothing left."

I was driving back to the amusement park. The night sky was rolling up slowly. She was again touching and teasing me the whole time. I occasionally cleared my throat or my grip on the steering wheel tightened on her fingertips brushing against my chest or down.

On reaching, she shot me a confused look. I took her hand and stood in front of the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel kiss always sounded cliche and off boat romantic to me but now thinking about it, I got butterflies in my stomach, added it was on her bucket list. I excused myself and went to the operator giving him some instructions, which he agreed to.

I halted on my track, admiring her twinkling eyes, her head motioning in light circles along with the Ferris wheel running. How her lips slightly pouted as she counted the number of cabins, nose scrunched when the speed increased.

She came running towards me, clinging to my arm, "Hope, can we ride that. Please... I promise it isn't dangerous as the previous ones.", she pointed at the Ferris wheel, giving me hopeful eyes. I nodded. We got the tickets and went inside the cabin. She sat in front of me, her head stuck on the glass, as she admired the view outside. I silently took out my phone taking a whole score of pictures of her.

"Hope...", she turned around and let out a gasp, covering her mouth later.

I was on my knees again, asking for her hand. She slowly placed her hand on mine, looking at me in anticipation. I took put a small red velvet box on her hand. Her eyes widened for a brief moment, as she looked at the box and then me. She opened the box and tears started pooling at the corner of her eyes.

"A&H forever.", she read out the engraving on the promise ring, tracing those letters repeatedly.

"May I?", I asked and she nodded rapidly. I placed the ring on her ring finger. And handed her another identical one. She did the same, clinking my ring with her.

The Ferris wheel stopped with our cabin hanging at the peak. Auto looked at me, shocked.

"Omg..omg.. This is happening. I can't believe it's happening..", she kept on mumbling while wiping her tears.

"H-Hope how did you know? A-Am I dreaming? T-Tell-", I cut her off by pressing my lips onto her. She mumbled some incoherent words into my mouth before closing her eyes, melting into the kiss. I pulled her by her waist, killing the gap between us. Her hands clenched on my shirt. I sat on the bar, making her sit on my lap with her lips still attached to mine. We broke the kiss, catching breathe, with her forehead resting on mine.

"Hope, I love you."

"Love you too baby."

"Together?"

"Forever."
