If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever (together my love)
I'd ask the sky just what we had
It showed forever
(together my love)
Zahra stepped out of the stretch limo he had sent for her and surveyed the scene in front of her. It was so silent, she could hear the wind whispering to her as she gazed up at the large marble building in front of her. Against the cold marble, someone had laid out a red carpet that sprawled on and on, up the stairs and vanished into the darkness of the open doors. She took a step forward, her white churidar glistening in the light.
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever
(together my love)
Zahra walked into a magnificent hall, her heels echoing with each step. Looking around, she saw the red carpet still extended and again vanished into the shadows. Looking around, she could see thousands of roses covering the room, their sweet aroma taking over Zahra's sense and she smiled lazily. Looking up, in the balcony was an orchestra, playing away so soft, Zahra had mistaken their music for mere humming in her ears.
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
(together my love)
Let the love I have for you live in your heart
And be forever
(together my love)
Looking back at the end of the red carpet, Zahra noticed a shadow hidden in the shadows. She craned her neck trying to get a closer look and without warning Prem walked out. She hastily tried to stifle the gasp that emitted from her mouth but found it difficult as Prem was dressed head to toe in the darkest of blacks, a while shirt peeking out from behind his blazer. All thoughts were chased away from her brain as she literally could feel herself losing it in his dark eyes. She tore her eyes away from him and widened her arms.
"Prem, ye sab - "
"Shh." He stopped her.
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
If every word I said could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
He walked towards her, closing the space between them. Zahra's fingers found the edge of her duppata as she fingered it nervously. Smiling at her, Prem leant forward and freed the duppata out of her grip. He carried a single rose in his hands.
"Zahra."
Smiling, she looked down, blushing crimson. There was nothing she loved more than the sound of her name on his lips.
"Zahra."
Her gaze still down, she smiled wider, trying to hide it when her eyes caught sight of the ring around the stem of the rose. Her breathing cut short.
"Zahra." he now whispered.
Her mind whirling, she tore her gaze from the ring and looked into his eyes. Her own eyes welled up for never had she seen so much sincerity, so much love for her in another person's eyes.
"Marry me."
She took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions at bay.
"Yes." she breathed back.
Forever, forever
I'll be so happy loving you
