The proposal

I have been waiting for this day to come into my life for the past five years. We know each other a lot. Days will not pass, if we don’t meet and talk with each other. We fight, we laugh, we cry and we study and teach and play pranks with everyone we like and dislike as well. Everyone had an evil eye on us because of our friendship. She feels my pain as her own pain. And I had taken care of all her worries and used to console her .Whenever she needed a shoulder to cry, I was there. We called this feel as friendship and more than that often.

But even worst things happened in our life. Time made us separated for three years. I went to US to do my higher studies and got a good perked job and she entered into her dream world of research in NASA. We didn’t find time for each other. No calls, no e-mails, no messages for these many years.

Last night, I got a surprise call from her. She wanted to meet me and discuss about an important decision to be taken in her life to me. Yes, she is gonna propose me today. And I got the feel of thousand butterflies flying inside me. Ahhh!!!! It’s going to be great, I hope.

I am waiting in this park bench for the past one hour. It’s not her fault, she is not late. I came early due to eagerness to see her after years. Finally she arrived. Slowly I raised my eyes to see her. She looked stunning in the beautifully wore red saree. She haven’t changed much, but she looked amazing than ever. She walked towards me, as if I am the Prince waiting for her Princess.

I thought to make fun with a dirty idea, to capture her love upon me. When she was walking towards me, the trees in the park showered flower petals over her to welcome her to the world of love with the flower carpet. Once she arrived, we smiled a lot without words to express.

Then we begin to talk without knowing where to start. Recollected our old days and fun we did in our college. And often silence interrupted our lovely talks. And I started to play my game. Before she can tell anything, slowly I raised my voice and revealed her that, “I am in Love”. She is stunned and at the same time, I can see her big laugh fading into a little smile. I felt happy to see her frowning at me and continued to describe about the beauty of my lady love to her in a very romantic way.

As I reached to some extent, she interrupted me and came forward to tell something serious. With her cheeks slightly blushing, she cunningly said that, “I am in love too”. And I felt my entire love castle is shaking from the ground. And she started blushing even more as she catched my eyes. I thought to play a game, but it turned against me itself. When she told, she is in love, I made a stupid question “How“instead of asking “Who”. I was in an uncontrollable rage and not able to look into her beautiful eyes anymore where I will sink deep. At one point, I felt I am behaving stupidly. And I wanted to run away from that place.

Before I can think about anything and take a step further, she gave me a tight slap. Saying, “Idiot, the guy whom I m in love with is “You” stupid. And I know, your lady love is none other than me”. I don’t know, whether I should laugh or cry due to the overwhelming joy. I realized her love upon me in her confidence, that only she can fulfill my next half of life. And I will be her man of dreams. And we walked towards home holding hands to propose to our parents to tie the knot rounding the fire and to be blessed by all.

It’s a very simple proposal. Happy endings
