Aasha's Pov

Soon we finished our dinner and its time to leave the house. Ananya compelled Neha to stay with her. So Neha is staying here. Its already 10 pm. 

"Remeber this is your family. You can come here whenever you want to, okay beta?" Uncle said placing his hand on my head. 

"Sure uncle" i said. Everyone said bye to me with a smile. Mr. Mehra and Zarah also left in their car. When me and Mr. Malhotra was about to reach the car, Varun stopped me. I looked at him. Even i also wanted to talk with him. 

"I will leave you two then" Mr. Malhotra said and was about to go. But i stopped him by grabbing his hand. 

"Its okay" i said with a smile. He nodded at me holding my hand tightly. 

"I know you don't like me. But i really love Neha, Aasha. Please give me a chance" he said in his shaky voice. 

"You're right. I don't like you. But i saw real love and sincerity in your eyes. If you again hurt Neha then i won't leave you" i said. 

"If you hurt Neha again you will face my wrath my lil brother. And you better be ready to face Neha's parents. If they say no then that means no" Mr. Malhotra said. 

"I won't hurt Neha. Not even in my dreams. And i will convince Neha's parents" he said. 

"And Aasha, thanks for saving my brother" he said with a smile. I too smiled at him. Then he left the place in his wheel chair. Mr. Malhotra opened the passenger door for me. I sat inside the car then he closed the door. He walked towards the other side and sat in the driver seat. He started the car. There was a comfortable silence in the car. But he took another way. I looked at him confused.

"Its not a the way to my place" i said. 

"I know" he said. 

"It will take at least an hour to reach the place. So now take some rest" he said patting my head. I nodded at him. But i didn't feel like sleeping. I just looked outside the window. I recalled whatever happened today. 

My dream… That dream of mine changed everything. What If i didn't took that dream seriously? What if i neglected that dream? I shuddered at the thought. Thank god! I didn't neglected my dream. But then i remembered how i first saw Mr. Malhotra in my dream and that fortune cookies. I smiled at that thought. I closed my eyes. But didn't sleep. Just reminiscing all events that happened in my life. 

"I saw you here for the first time in this footpath" i heard Mr. Malhotra's velvety calm voice. Then only i realised that the car has already stopped on the road. I looked at him. He is looking outside the window with a smile. I followed his gaze. He is looking at the footpath which is empty as it was late night. The footpath is shimmering under the yellowish street lamp in this dark night. 


"You were feeding cookies to a small puppy while playing with it with a beautiful smile on your face. That day you were wearing a white dress, looking like an angel" he said turning his face to me, looking straight into my eyes. I looked at him confused. 

"Oh but i didn't remember" i said.  

"Only i saw you. You didn't saw me" he said with a smile.

"Oh" i said. When did i fed a small puppy? But i heard him saying that he saw me in a park in the phone call. I was deep in my thought. He started to speak again. I looked at him with a frown. 

"Actually i didn't saw your face clearly. You were kept playing with that puppy testing my patience level. When finally i got a chance to see your face, i was awestruck by your beautiful, innocent face. Your that innocent smile that stirred something inside me. With your doe like eyes, swaying earring, clanking bangles, you seduced me without even you knowing it" he said with a fainy smile while looking at the foothpath. Its like he is recalling that day in his mind. I blushed when he said i seduced him. He looked at me with a smile and touched my cheeks with the back of his hand. I shivered feeling his cold hand against my hot cheeks.

"Don't blush. Or i will do something which i will regret later" he said in his husky voice. I looked down at my lap blushing more. I heard him chuckle then he removed his hand from my cheeks and started the car. I don't know but my heart started to race wildly. The car came to a halt in front of the park which we both came together last time. 

"Lets go" he said offering his hand to me. I took his hand and came out of the car. 

"Its late. The security gaurd won't allow us inside" i said. He just smiled at me but didn't said anything. We both stood in front of the park gate. 

The security gaurd didn't said anything but only smiled at us. I looked at Mr. Malhotra. He smiled at me and we both entered inside the park. The park is not dark because of the garden lights. The garden looks so mesmerizing at this hour.

I gasped when i looked at one particular place which is also my favorite place in this park is decorated with fairy lights. The bench and the tree behind that bench is also fully decorated with fairy lights. 


"After playing with that puppy, you came to this park. You were eating burger while watching something on your phone. Now remember?" he asked me with a gentle smile. I looked at him shocked.

Is he talking about the day when i attended interview in his company? 

"Two cute kids also talked with you that day, orphanage father also came that day to talk with you. Now remember?" he asked me. 

"Yes. I remember" i said with my wide eyes.

"Look there" he said looking at another side. I followed his direction. An another tree is also decorated with fairy lights. 


"I was watching you behind that tree" he said with a chuckle. I looked at him shocked. 

"You followed me to here that day?" i asked him surprised. 

"Yes. How can i not when you put a spell on me?" he said grabbing me by my waist. My heart started to pounding wildly against my chest. 

"The moment i saw you…" he said placing my hand on his chest. I felt his thumping heart beat against my hand. 

"My heart beated loudly like now. My heart said that you are the one for me" he said. My breath hitched in my throat.

"Here… " he pointed at the bench and continued. 

"I saw you shedding tears while talking with the Orphanage Father about talking about your family" he said. I remembered that day my conversation with Father. I looked down to hide my teary eyes. He placed his index finger under my chin and raised my face to only meet his intense gaze. 

"When i saw you shedding tears, i had a sudden urge to wipe your tears and wanted to protect you from the world. I even surprised to feel something like this for the first time. But it didn't take much time to realise whats that feeling is" he said taking a deep sigh. 

"But soon you disappeared from this place. Then i let it in the hands god. I had a confidence that i will meet you again. And you bumped into me in the cafeteria. Isn't it is a destiny?" he asked me with a chuckle. I looked at him with my moistened eyes.  

"One question kept repeating in my mind and that is what happened in your family that made my angel cry. And after you joined in my office i soon found out that you're from sharma family and i also came to know that you transferred your shares to your father" he said making me shocked.

"You knew everything long before" i said with a small smile. 

"Are you upset because.." i cut him off. 

"No. I am not upset" i said with a reassuring smile. I kind of guessed it that he must have known about my family background. Because when i exposed my identity in the beach to him he didn't react that much. 

"You're like a mysterious puzzle. The more i wanted to solve the puzzle the more i lost myself completely…in you. I knew when i fell in love with you, Aashu. But i don't know when my love grew deeper and deeper for you like the depth of ocean. I always maintained a cold face to others. But with you its always different. You bring my actual self when i am with you. 

Today seeing you talking and laughing with my family, i felt content in my heart. After my mom's death i always felt something is missing in my house, in my family. But today i felt an immense satisfaction, Aashu. 

I want to share my family, my house, my room, my life with you. I want to share my everything with you who has became my everything.

But i don't want to share you with anyone. Not even with our children. You know right, i am very possessive when it comes to you. I want you all for myself. I want all your attention for me only. I know i must be sounding like an 'attention seeker' but what to do? I can't help" he said with a chuckle. I too chuckled with him with tears continuously flowing down on my eyes. I clutched his shirt tightly. He wiped my tears with his thump pad and cupped my face. 

"I want to be the person with whom you can share your happiness, pain everything. I don't know how to measure my love for you. I don't know how to express my love to you. But i know one thing that i won't hesitate to go to any extent if any one dared to make you shed tears from your eyes.  

I want to spend a lot of time with you. I want to have a lots of talks with you. I want to go on a lot of dates with you. I want to create a lot of romantic happy memories with you. 

I want to be the only person who knows all your secrets. I want to know more about you, every single details about you. Like what makes you smile, what makes you angry, what makes you happy, what makes you blush and what makes you whine. I want to explore you like how a tourist explores every nook and corner of the city" saying this he joined his forehead with mine. I closed my eyes letting the tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Let me spoil you with my love, Aashu. Let me take care of you, Aashu. Lets be together" he said with a sigh pulling away from me, looking into my eyes. He took a few steps back from me. I looked at him confused. Suddenly he went on his knees making me gasp. He fished something in his pocket then took a velvet box and opened it with a smile. He stretched the box in front of me giving me his full bright smile. 

"I Love You, Aashu.  Be my girl and Let me be your man, Aashu " he said looking into my eyes.
