Loving You Again

chapter 22

~3 years ago~

Armando knew that now he would not be able to hide anymore.

How could he? He was doing a pathetic job at it.

But he had so many doubts in his head.

'What if she refuse?'

'Am I going too fast?'

'Is she even ready?'

'Armando! Don't forget who you are! Just be Armando Enzo Argento and have his guts.' He mentally scolded himself.

'But that's actually the problem! I can't be that Armando with her. That Armando is cold as ice, he might have the confidence of a lion but is a total rude jerk. With Myrah, it's different. I want to have the strength of a lion to protect her but I also become like a love sick puppy.'

'Ok, whatever it's now or never.' He took a deep breath and held Myrah's hand.

He made her get up and got on his feet as well.

"I was comfortable." She pluckered her lower lips.

Armando kissed her forehead making a smile appear on her lips.

How much she loved these sweet gestures from him. It meant everything to her.

He held both of her hands in his and said while looking in her eyes.

"I love you, Myrah." His eyes held so much love, genuinity and a little of fear?

Suddenly, he dropped down to one knee.

"What?" Myrah's eyes widen.

Armando heartbeat increased even more in nervousnesss looking at her reaction but decided to continue on.

"Myrah, Before I never belived in love at first sight but, the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew at the back of my head that you are the one. From that day, I looked forward to each day to see you. I never had the guts to talk to you until one day you did not come to work. My heart went restless knowing that I won't get to see you for a whole day. Then, I realised that I don't want to be in a world where you are not by my side. Living one year away from you was the hardest phase of my life. There were numerous times that I would pack a bag and would go to the airport to come back to you. But I stopped myself because I remember the look of pride in your eyes each time I shared my achievements to you and this made me work harder just for that look in your eyes which made me so content. I love you so so much to the point that it hurts, I want to marry you and make many babies with you, I want to grow old with you, So Myrah Bianca, will you marry me?" Armando removed a little blue box from his pocket and opened it.

At this point various gasps and sobs escaped Myrah's mouth she was a crying mess. It was the first time Armando opened up like this to her.

"Will you?" Armando asked again as he swallowed a lump that was forming in his throat.

"Yes, I will. I will marry you Armando." Myrah got down on her knees and hugged him. She nuzzled his neck and cried her heart out.

This man made her feel so special. She felt good about herself. For the first time on this date she did not loathe herself. She did not feel like she was unwanted or a mistake in someone's life.
