'I was dumb to leave you and go...I was a fool to break your heart and walk away without a valid reason while it was just you who stayed in my heart even if I tried hard to break the bond I shared with you...I love you, I always did its just that I never accepted it,but today right here I want to tell u that I promise not to leave your side now whatever the situation may be...I love you forever'
A huge round of applause was heard while she shuddered coming out of her thoughts. She was still in his hold as he was busy smiling at the crew who were happy with his act.
'Hey how was it?' he asked her,
'It was the best moment of my life even if u don't mean any of those words' she was about to leave when he pulled her closer by her waist and whispered to her,
'Yes it was a play, but my act was real'
She looked up at him in disbelief. This time he held her hand dragged her upstairs though she tried hard to get out of his hold.
'What do you wa....'
She was amazed. The terrace was lighted up with lights with a heart over the floor made with candles. She took a step ahead to find it filled up with rose petals...
'Its for u' he said standing right behind her as she stood there numb,
Pulling her closer from behind he removed her hairs to one side. Little did she know a shining heart shaped pendant rested around her neck. He kissed her nape as she pressed her eyes closed. The soft wind was making her curls dance to its rhythm as he soon decorated her bare ears with little heart stud earrings and whispered to her,
'I love you'
Their eyes met as she turned to leave while he pulled her back,safe in his arms,
'I waited for 1 and a half year thinking that may be u would change your mind and return,just like any other break up over stupid issues...'
'But I...'
'Let me complete please.'
He looked down.
'I even begged u for US, for the love we shared,and what you did was to just throw me away, why did u return this pendant set? I returned your gifts because we were over right there' she said with her voice choking...
He was numb this time. A soft breeze blew away the candles as they stood there silent...may be the silence was speaking,but what they were going through was indescribable. The pain they endured was finally taking the form of tears,
'Can I speak one last time' he spoke up breaking the ice between them,
'Mm yeah' she wiped out a tear as she stood away,
He stepped closer as he sweeped her off the feet and carried her inside the heart made out with candles,
'What are u upto'
'Ssh...'
Dropping her there he went down over his knees. Holding her hand in his he looked up while she wore a confused look,
'A few moments ago it was the character of the play who proposed u,but here its your real life hero who is on his knees begging for forgiveness. I love you...I love you like a promise to myself...I love you like you are my last breath....so...will u be my forever ??'
She was hypnotised by his words. A captive to his love, how could she deny to a thing she have been wishing for to happen. She nodded with tears as he took out his own ring and slid it through her finger,
Moments later they sat there over the terrace with a colourful lantern casting a magical love spell over the duo. As usual they were busy gazing the stars when he spoke up,
'Since we are engaged now u won't talk with that stupid Rohit'
'Hehe jealous'
'Obviously, I hate the guy'
'U hate every guy what's the difference' she giggled,
He leaned a little closer as she smiled. Cupping his face she pulled him closer as they sat down nuzzled..
'Its awesome' he muttered,
'What?'
'This...this night, the moment, its awesome, I love you' he gently pecked her lips,
'I love you too I hope this is our forever?'
'Its even after life,this love,its for ages to come'
She smiled as he got closer while their lips met and very soon they drowned themselves in the ocean of love....
-Sheena..
