~~~ Part 2 ~~~
Riddhima and Kannav soon reach the restaurant, where Kannav has booked a romantic candlelight dinner for them both, a table for two, or so Riddhima thinks until she actually sets step inside Blue Moon [note: this is just a name i thought of, i have no idea if its real or not, so just plz bear with me...]
She is totally amazed, completely awed at what she sees. The whole restaurant is empty, and no one is there. Its dark, and there's only one visible table right in the middle, beautifully lit with candles - that create an atmosphere so romantic, yet silent, that anyone can fall in love there, without having to say a word - which Riddhima gets glimpses of through the flowing curtains around that single table - red and white curtains -
creating the perfect atmosphere for two people in love to be.
Riddhima calls out to Kannav, whom she assumes is right behind her, but when she turns around, no one is there. So she turns back, scared, but then, there is Kannav, right in front of her, with a bouquet of red roses, and hiding his face.
Laughing, Riddhima removes the roses from covering his face, and gives him a kiss on the cheeks.
Kannav: Wow! Bina maange kiss. Yeh kisliye?!
Riddhima: For planning such a beautiful candlelight dinner for just the two of us. Bohot romantic hai. I love it, and it's a wonderful surprise.
Kannav: I know ki tumhein yeh bohot pasand aayega. Lekin, asli surprise toh abhi baaki hai.
Riddhima: Kya hai?
Kannav: Abhi nahin. Pehle khana kha lein. Phir batata hoon. Waise bhi, mujhe bohot bhook lagi hai.
Riddhima: Kya yaar. Itne romantic atmosphere mein tum kehte ho ki tumhein bhook aa rahi hai, aur surprise bhi nahin bata rahe ho?!!
Kannav: Haan darling, kyunki I always save the best for the last.
Riddhima: And the best is still yet to come?
Kannav: Of course darling. Ab chale? Khaa lein? Varna surprise bhi der se milegi.
Riddhima: Haan, chalen!
Riddhima and Kannav finally go and sit at the table meant for, and specially set up for them. They order their food, through the only waiter who is around, who comes when Kannav and Riddhima are seated, and while waiting for the food to come, they hold each other's hands and talk, all the while staring into the other's eyes.
Riddhima: Vaise Kannav, yeh poora restaurant kyun khaali hai?
Kannav: Tumhein ab notice hua?
Riddhima: Stop it na!
Kannav: Okay, okay. Vaise, yeh sab... It's all part of the surprise.
Riddhima: Really?
Kannav: Haan. Aur poochna mat ki surprise kya hai. Main abhi nahin bataaoonga.
Riddhima: Tumhein kaise pata?...
Kannav: Because I love you...
Riddhima: Awww! How sweet. I love you too.
They continue to stare into each other's eyes, coming closer and closer each time, each second, each moment. They are just about to kiss, when Riddhima notices the waiter coming in with the food, right behind Kannav. So she pulls away, all the while silently laughing at Kannav, who is still waiting for her to kiss. Finally, Kannav, embarrassed, pulls away.
The waiter sets the food on the table, and Riddhima and Kannav eat in silence, just staring at each other, with the only sound possibly heard is the sound of their spoons, forks, knives, clanging against the plates - and also probably their heartbeats, the heartbeats of two people, two people who are in love.
Riddhima is the first to finish eating, and when she does, she sets the spoon and other cutlery down on the plate, waiting for Kannav to finish, which he does just moments later.
Riddhima: Ab kha bhi liya. Toh surprise bataao na?!!
Kannav: Nahin, abhi dancing..
Riddhima: Dancing. Lekin abhi toh humnein kha liya.
Kannav: Not to worry, slow songs honge. Slow aur romantic, jaise tumhein pasand hai.
Riddhima: Wow! Tumne toh sab kuch mere pasand ka hi rakha hai. Pehle, mere favourite restaurant mein booking, phir woh red roses, mera favourite khaana order karna. Aur phir dancing, aur woh bhi mere favourite gaane par?! Aur tum kehte ho surprise abhi baaki hai.
Kannav: Haan. Toh chalo, dance karen?
Riddhima: Of course.
Riddhima and Kannav get up, and go just a little away from their table, within the boundaries of the curtains that is. Kannav says loudly, giving instructions to someone to put the music on. Riddhima gets into position, hugging Kannav, her head burried into his muscular chest, smelling his scent, (his versace men's cologne, to be exact...LOLz), and smiling secretely to herself. Kannav also does the same. Hugging Riddhima, he rests his read lightly on her shoulders, turning his face to her, burrying it in her hair, and smelling the fragrance of her freshly washed hair. The song then starts to play, and Kannav and Riddhima begin to move in time to the beats. (although there may not seem that many since its a slow song anyways...)
They dance on the song Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai, from Jism... [LOLz... i couldnt think of anymore slow and romantic song at this moment of time, my mind is too preoccupied...]
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe
Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe
Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Yeh Pal Hai Apna To Is Pal Ko Jee Le
Shwalo Ki Tarha Zarah Chal Ke Jee Le
Pal Jhapakte Kho Na Jana
Chuke Karlo Yakin Na Jane Yeh Pal Paaye Kahan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Baahon Mein Teri Yun Kho Gaye Hai
Armaan Dabe Se Jagne Lage Hai
Jo Mile Ho Aaj Hum Ko Door Jana Nahin
Mitado Saari Yeh Duriyan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe
Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan
When the song ends, Kannav pulls back slighty, looks at
Riddhima, smiling, and he too smiles, before going back to
burrying his face in Riddhima'a hair. But before he can
complete his action, the candles are suddenly blown off, and
there's total darkness. Kannav pulls away from Riddhima, and
she being afraid of being left alone, gets kind of scared. She
turns around and around, trying to look for Kannav, but she
can't even seem to see a thing.
Suddenly, a spotlight is turned on, and shone on Riddhima.
Finally able to see clearly in the "dark" again, she looks around
for Kannav, and is surprised to find him on his knees in front of
her, holding out a tiny box containing an engagement ring
with his right hand.
Riddhima looks at Kannav in surprise, while Kannav is in turn
looking at her with a kind of love that very few can be able to
describe, let alone feel. Kannav, in that romantic atmosphere,
with his mood and feelings more of love than anything else at
that moment, he begins to pour his heart out at Riddhima.
Kannav: Ridz, jab se maine tumhein dekha hai, main toh
tumhein dekhta hi reh gaya. Hum toh bachpan ke dost zaroor
hain, lekin is dosti se zyaada main tumhare liye kuchh
mehsoos karta hoon. Haan, mujhe pata nahin ki yeh ehsaas
mujhe kab, kyun, kaise, ya kahaan, mehsoos hone laga, lekin
yeh zaroor pata hai ki is ehsaas ko sirf pyaar kaha jaa sakta
hai. Riddhima, main tumhein bohot pyaar karta hoon.
Tumhare saath har din bitaana chahta hoon, har raat tumhare
saath rehna chahta hoon, tumhaare paas, itne kareeb ki
tumhein kabhi kisi bhi cheez ki kami mehsoos nahin hogi.
Tum meri bandagi ho, meri deewangi ho, aur ab main tumhein
apni zindagi ka hissa banana chahta hoon. Tumhein apne
paas hamesha hamesha ke liye rakhna chahta hoon. Bolo,
kya tumhein yeh baat manzoor hai? Kya tum mujhse shaadi
karogi? Will you marry me Riddhima?
This whole speech literally made Riddhima speechless. She
struggled to find her words, the proper words that would be
a proper and fitting reply to the question that Kannav just
popped. However, she could come up with nothing better
than if's and but's...
Riddhima: If...lekin...but...par...
Kannav: No if's and buts Ridz, mujhe tera jawaab sirf haan
ya naa mein chahiye hai. Actually, sirf haan chahiye hai.
Riddhima: Mera jawaab hai...
