Mayank offered his arm to Nupur and gracefully placing her hand in his, Nupur felt as if she was floating towards the table laden with roses and wine glasses. Pulling out a chair for Nupur like a true gentleman, Mayank nodded to the waiter and simultaneously two things happened that were enough to make Nupur catch her breath.
That nod made the waiter served them apple malt instead of wine as Nupur was expecting and just when she raised her questioning eyes to Mayank he whispered in a caressing voice,
*princess i prefer getting drunk in ur eyes.*
feeling warm Nupur was just left staring at him and basking in the lovefilled expression she realised that something else had changed. Soft music was playing in the background and Nupur watched as Mayank stood up and walked to her, offering his hand to her for the second time that evening,.
*will u honor me with a dance beautiful?*
as if in a daze Nupur placed her hand in his and was escorted to the a little space a few feets away from their table that was serving as a dance floor.
Pulling Nupur in his arms Mayank softly moved with the music and effortless guided Nupur to follow.
'i am so happy Sam insisted on this, otherwise how would i have held u in my arms without breeching proprieority?'
with this he leaned and burried his head in her neck and softly caresed the smooth skin with his lips, sending shivers of pleasure racing through her body.
'i missed u princess.. I missed holding u in my arms..'
Nupur wanted to say so much but her voice was choked with the tears. She was finally in his arms. She was finally with him when he called her princess not miles apart. His strong and warm presence was playing havoc with her deprived soul.
'i missed u too Mayank.. I missed feeling complete..'
Mayank groaned and the way his lips sought her skin was prove enough what her words did to his senses.
Just being this close to each other was making them breathless with need to hold eachother forever.
Mayank chuckled softly and Nupur looked up with narrowed eyes. Still grinning Mayank leaned back and as if touching him with his eyes said, *perhaps i never told u, but ur blush is a big boost for my male ego.*
*and why exactly is this so?*
*because.. (he moved closer) its not easy to make a gorgeous princess blush by mere words.. I wonder how will u look when i will hold u in my arms without any barriers on our wedding night..*
he emphasised on the word wedding night and Nupur was sure she was all red.
*beautiful.. Look at me...*
Nupur looked up shyly and without breaking the eye contact Mayank said simply and confidently, *will u marry me princess?*
nupur's heart was about to burst from the emotions those three words ignited in her heart.
Without blinking to stop the tears of joy, Nupur let her voice flow with the tears and said, *i will Mayank.. I will marry u because i love u...*
just the expression in his eyes was enough to make her realize how much he wanted to kiss her lips to seal these words forever.
*as u have guessed, i prefer to be alone with just u and kiss u until u forget everything except what u just said..*
*i wish for that Mayank..*
taking a deep breath to control his raging passion, Mayank realized he has yet to give her the good news.
*before u are ready to give up everything to be Mrs Mayank Sharma, i want u to know, i m no longer a good for nothing man.
I was a week ago appointed as a manager in one of the most thriving multi national companies of this country.
His words brought fresh tears to her eyes but before congratulating him she cleared, *u were never good for nothing Mayank.. U are and always will be perfect.. My Mr Perfect..*
by now it was agony to be in a place where the table had to keep them apart to keep the eyes of the waiters around them lowered.
*princess.. I think we should get done with the not so appealing dinner and make our way out of this place so that i can hold u close and kiss u to assure myself that u r real..*
smiling naughtily Nupur replied, *then why wait? I m no longer hungry for food..*
the undertone behind that sentence was enough to make Mayank get up and quickly talking to the manager about their change of plan, held her hand and lead her out of the restaurant.
Fresh air touched their warm, burning faces and still holding her hand tightly in his, as if afraid she will disappear, he quietly walked away from the glittering restaurant until they were in a secluded spot and it was then that Mayank pulled Nupur in his arms and placed his lips on hers seeking for reassurance that Nupur's passionate heart was all in to provide by kissing her with the same ardent passion.
Only when their need for oxygen could not be avoided did they move apart and Mayank whispered breathlessly, "i love u princess..." and softly holding her hand in his he quickly placed a ring on her finger..
Just feeling that ring on her finger made Nupur feel enchanted, but when she looked at it, she felt as if all were dreams had come true. It was a small diamond ring but for Nupur it was the most special gift of her life.
Looking up at him, this time, she leaned closer to him and sealed her lips with his.. Words were no longer going to suffice what they felt, so they decided to take held from love gestures.
**
By the time Nupur entered her home back, she was no longer just Nupur Bhushan. She was to-be Mrs. Mayank Sharma. She took a deep breath to bask in all the alien feelings of being proposed and considered worth enough to be married to Mayank. It was unbelievable. Rubbing her fingers over the ring, she finally felt the joy of being committed to a person. She now knew what her future name would sound like, "Nupur Mayank Sharma .."
