I'm going to propose her. Again. Tho we are engaged, these two past years were very harsh to us.

We weren't able to give each other the quality time much, as I was caught in my own work, whilst Preshtha had her own internships & projects.

Through all the adversities, our relationship has survived and it's time to bloom it in something more beautiful.

"Preshtha I need... um... you to wear this dress" we are currently in Paris and she figured it out as soon as we reached here yesterday.

I'm going to propose her in front of the Eiffel Tower, little does she knows that our families, Ragini, Riddhima & Manas are here as well, it's just they are in different hotel than ours because I want to see the priceless expression on her face.

"You selected this?" she kept ogling with her mouth hung low, at the dress.

I nodded slowly, "Yes... is it nice?" I got nervous, What if she didn't liked it? Ugh. My suprise is done.

"It's- It's Amazing, Rudra" she squealed, hugging me tight. It instantly, brought a wide grin on my face.

"Wear it and show me... I'll-I'll wait outside" I said scratching the back of my neck. She raised her eyebrow in shock, a small smile was playing on her lips.

"What happened to the Rudra, who used to ask me to get changed in front of him" she came near me, her playful gaze was turning me on.

"I'm not in the mood" I sternly said, but her finger traced the corners of my face, sending shivers down my spine.

She's the one who's dominating today. Woah.

"Really?" Her seductive voice was making it more hard for me to control. Not today Preshtha. I'm already nervous.

"Yes.. get ready now"

She pouted and distanced herself, "Purna un-romantic zhala aahes tu" (you are so unromantic now) she said, "koni midali tar nahi na? (Do you have any other side chick?) Her eyebrow raised in doubt.

"Nahi ga (no)" I shook my head, "mi kashala gheyla aalo asto tula mag ( why would I have come to pick you up then)" I made those cute puppy eyes which would make her melt easily.

It was indeed successful, "You got a point" and she kissed my cheek.

"I'll get ready then" I nodded, whilst I changed myself into a suit.

After what felt like eternity, Preshtha opened the closet's door and she looked beyond beautiful.

My eyes couldn't even blink, how can she be so beautiful and just slay everything she wears.

I gulped looking at her, just phenomenal.

She giggled, looking at me, "How am I looking?" She came closer to me and threw her arms around my shoulders. I wrap my arms around her waist.

"Elegant" our noses were rubbing against each other, the intensity in my voice increased, almost turned hoarse.

It was taking everything in me to not get started here, I placed her hair back and nibbled onto her earlobe making her moan.

She clutched onto my white shirt as I continued the assault from her earlobe to her neck.

When I found her soft spot, my skillful tongue started doing its work.

"Ru-Rudra" she moaned

I losed the contact from her skin and a fresh new hickey was placed on her neck.

A smirk formed on my lips, I caressed the mark of my love, whilst she hissed in pain.

"I hate you" she mumbled, coming closer to me, hugging me.

"I love you too" I chuckled. My fingers digged in her flowy long hairs.

- - - - -

It was around 8 in the night and we reached near Eiffel tower,"Preshtha... I need to blindfold you" I said, raking my hair nervously, "We are almost here"

"W-Why? I can come like this, right?" A frown formed on her face, "Preshtha, I said na it's a suprise"

She let out a sigh and nodded, shr turned her back towards me,& I slipped on the satin cloth around her eyes and helped her walk out of the car.

I hope she likes all this.

"We are here" I nervously said. There layed a red carpet of rose petals and our families and friends were already standing in the corner waving at me and giving me thumbs up.

The romantic instrumental music was playing in the background.

Shit, this is happening for real.

I let out a nervous breath and walked 4-5 steps ahead of Preshtha.

"Shall I remove the blindfold?" She asked. Adrenaline rushed through my veins, just as she asked the question.

"Uh-yes" I hesitated.

C'mon you can do this Rudey. You have always waited for this moment and here it is.

My conscience motivated me. I took a long breathe and soothed myself.

She took out the blindfold and gasped at scene which was displaying in front of her. Her wyes widened as she saw our people standing in there, they hooted looking at her.

I took out the ring from my pocket and kneeled down in front of her, people started accumulating near us and it worsened my nervousness even more.

"Preshtha, all my life I have been a loner I'm still, but when I started spending time with you in the college it felt good being a loner with you" people started hooting, whilst Preshtha nodded, motivating me to speak ahead.

"I agree I was a cold person back then, I'm still A little, but you know what? You never complained about that even when my Parents and friends asked me to mix up with others, you just let me be" A tear slipped down my eye without my acknowledgement. I wiped it off with my shoulder.

"You made me comfortable with you Preshtha, just the way I was and maybe that's what I have always needed, someone to accept me the way I'm. And you are that someone for me, Preshtha tsk bubble." Preshtha sniffled looking at me.

"Please, can you do the honour of marrying this cold and stupid boyfriend slash fiancé of yours? He will be thankful for the whole lifetime" I chuckled, knowing I just adressed myself as him.

She took a step forward and I stood up immediately.

She cupped my face with a wide smile plastered on her face, whilst tears makimg the way from her eyes to the cheeks.

"Yes, I'll marry you" she forwarded her hand towards me and without wasting any time I slipped on the ring.

I kissed her forehead and engulfed her into a bone crashing hug, whilst everyone were hooting and clapping.

"How was the suprise?" I rubbed her back.

"It was----- unexpected" she said after a long pause, as if she was trying to find a perfect adjective.

"Preshtha is finally going to be my daughter-in-law" I heard mom coming forward to us, I broke the hug and reflected back the joy.

"Finally, yes" I squealed.

Preshtha bent to touch mom's feet but mom stopped in the mid way and hugged her, "You will be more like a daughter to me Preshtha"

"Yes and we are trolling Rudra" Preshtha giggled.

"Don't worry I'll troll you with your family, ho na mom??" I asked Preshtha's mom

"Of course. I have lot of things to tell you about her" her mom shooted me a thumbs up, chuckling at us.

I childishly stuck out my tongue. Making Preshtha fake her anger

- - - - -

It was 2 in the night and I returned back to the hotel now. Preshtha must be almost asleep by now 'cause even she spent time with Ridhima and Ragini after the marriage proposal ceremony.

I was a little tipsy, because Manas forced me take on few shots.

I took out the key of my room and unlocked it.

The room had red and pink neon lights on, whilst Preshtha was sitting in her night suit arranging the candles.

"Preshtha?" It came more out of as a question which said, what's happening.

"Hey, you came" she took a piece of cake and shoved it into my mouth, feeding me.

"Umm.. why this? All of a sudden?" I asked her taking another bite of the cake.

"Because I want to make you feel special too" she patted my cheeks and placed the plate on a teapoy and took a box and gave it to me.

Signalling me to open it, I did so and it had a expensive watch in it, "How's it?" She asked me.

"It's nice but you didn't had to---" she cut me off my placing a hand on my mouth

"I bought this for you from my paid internships" my eyebrow raised in shock.

Damn. She really is something.

"You will be wearing this from now on" she giggled and I instantly nodded.

She sat on my lap, "You really made me feel special today Rudra... I never thought that someone could ever love me so much that, the person would do anything to be with me" a smile was playing on her lips.

"All my life I was been told that I was fat and I need to lose weight otherwise no one would love me... but now... I have a guy who just loves me the way I'm and isn't embarrassed of me----"

"I would never be" I cut her off, "You are chubby but you are healthy and fit which is fine, you don't need to attain a certain body type--- it's not worth it" concern took over me.

"Yes, you changed that perception" she pecked my lips.

"I'm glad"

I picked her up and she got scared all of a sudden, "Put me down" she squealed, "You might fracture your hand"

"Uh-oh. You are forgetting that I carried you till the hospital when I saw you for the first time" I said, "Plus, I'm stronger. I do the weight training in gym"

She zipped her mouth immediately and shut up.

I laid her on the bed, "Dare you again make jokes on your weight. I have better comebacks"

She giggled, "okay"

"No okay, promise me"

"Promise Rudra" she held me by my collar a bought my face towards her.

She planted a kiss on my lips, which made me want to kiss her more.

Without any hesitation, I got on the top of her and started devouring her lips

She started unbuttoning my shirt, which startled me and I stopped kissing her.

"Are you- Are you sure?" I asked her.

"Yes" she nodded.

"I don't have a condom" I bit my lip.

"We are getting married anyways. Please, I need you" she looked sexually frustrated.

It unknowingly turned me on more.

"Okay then"
