Well this is going to be the final chapter in this little story... I had put in a lot of effort and thought into this and I am very glad that you have all liked it so far... If you like DiRa moments (Oh come on! I know you all do) there's a very fat chance that you will like this... Also I have tried to make this a little extra romantic as it seems that we might not get to see a lot of DiRa romance after the honeymoon episodes... (Though I really REALLY hope that we do get to see them...)
Now let's get right to the story...

(The story begins right from where it had been left off)
**Flashback**
*Ratan's POV*
He sat quietly till they reached the hotel's private beach patch. He got down and when he saw the driver getting down to open the door for her he gestured to him to tell him not to and Ratan himself opened the door for Diya, took her hand and entered...
** End of Flashback**
*Ratan's POV*
He hadn't seen anything like it before... He had no idea how Diya managed to do all of this... They were the only two people on the beach except for the waitress who was standing next to an outdoorsy table lit up by fairy lights and with orchids and oriental lilies as the centrepiece... That was the only part of the patch that had been lit up... the rest was all just aglow with the light of the full moon in the clear starry sky... The scenery seemed to be right out of a romantic movie what with the night and the sea and the absolutely perfect setting... He could hear the song "A thousand years" playing in the background... He looked around and saw a huge speaker at a far corner... He turned to the gorgeous lady who had planned all this just for him.
"Diya wow. Yeh sab aapne kab aur kaise kiya?" She simply shrugged and said "Hume bahot bhook lagi hai Ratan. Dinner kar lein?" "Oh sorry... chaliye..." He lead her to the table that had been set up just for them and pulled out a chair for her. When he had made sure that she was seated comfortably he took his place and gestured for the waitress to come over and just as he was about to ask her for the menu card he looked at Diya and said "correct me if I'm wrong but aapne aaj ka menu pehle hi decide kar liya hoga right?" Diya gave him a huge smile and said "Arre waah Ratan very good... Yeah humne order already place kar diya tha..." she looked at the waitress who nodded and left to bring them their food... When she returned Ratan was surprised yet again as she had brought them a large pizza with garlic bread as the side dish and their drink for the day was coke and that too in wine glasses ! The waitress served them and left them alone. Ratan said "Diya aapka pet name mujhe Mr. India se change karke Wonder Woman rakh dena chahiye. Aapne akele hi yeh sab manage kar liya aur wow aapne khana bhi mera favourite hi order kiya hai! Kaise kar liya aapne yeh sab?" Diya smiled subtly and just said "Ratan pizza thanda accha nahi lagta..." and picked up a slice of pizza and started eating...
Twenty minutes later they were done with their dinner... Ratan helped Diya out of her chair and lead her away for a moonlit beachside walk...
*Diya's POV*
They walked away from the table and took the slowest and most romantic walk that Diya had ever taken in all her life... The gentle beach breeze made her long hair fly just a little... Diya stopped for a second thought of something and remoived her chappals right there... Ratan saw what she did and he did the exact same thing... They left their chappals behind and probably also all their inhibitions... As they walked into the light of the lovely full moon she felt a firm grip of a certain hand in hers... She blushed but offered no resistance or awkwardness... Actually it felt right to her... It felt as if his hand in hers just added to the beauty of that night... So instead of just letting her hand be limp in his hand she decided to hold his hand as tightly as he held hers... When she did that he turned towards her and looked right into his eyes again... the eyelock was just for a millisecond but it gave her the same sense of giddyness that she had experienced earlier during the boat ride... only this timeit was much stronger...
She knew that what she was feeling was not love... she hadn't fallen in love with Ratan yet... True that the way she was on led to love but she was not there yet... not even close... but she was definitely on the way there... Today what she had felt for Ratan was unlike any sensation she had ever felt...
"Diya hum wahan unn rocks ke paas chalke baithein?" Diya was kinda startled to notice that this was the only sentence that he had said since dinner and yet the long silence between them hadn't been even slightly awkward... it had felt natural... everything so strange yet so perfect tonight... "Uh... Diya agar aapko nahi baithna toh hum walk continue kar sakte hain... Waise bhi this is like the best walk I've ever had in my life" Ratan said looking directly into Diya's eyes... The intensity of the moment made Diya lose her composure for a just a second before she said "Oh let's sit down for a while. But haan I must say ki yeh sahi main ek kaafi memorable walk thi..." "Of course Mrs. Ratan Maan Singh.. aap mere saath hain... Har moment yaadgar hoga " Ratan said with a smirk.. Diya rolled her eyes at him and he led her to take a seat by the rocks...
They sat down on the sand so close to the sea that the light waves touched their feet from time to time... Ratan's arm slid around Diya's waist and she leaned into him as they sat looking at the stars... "Diya ab bataaiye aapne mere yeh sab kaise kar diya? Yeh sexy dress, yeh private beach date, mera favourite khana...kaise ka chodiye kab kiya aapne yeh sab... kab plan kara kaise execute kara aur woh bhi aise ki mujhe koi idea hi nahi laga aur jabki aaj toh pura din main aapke paas hi tha toh kaise kar paayi aap yeh... " Diya covered his mouth with her hand and said "arre saans toh le lijiye Ratan..." Ratan kissed the hand that covered his mouth and Diya took away her hand and blushed... "Hum kal aapko sab detail mein batayenge... aaj ki shaam inn sab discussions ke liye nahi hai... " She said and smiled... and Ratan nodded...
The time passed by and they just sat there holding hands and cocooned around each other looking at the sky and feeling the presence of the other... Neither of them had thought that this was as ever going to happen between them and here they were extremely comfortable with each other. It would have felt out of character for them at another time or place but tonight it all felt totally right...
After sometime Ratan turned to look at her and looked right into her eyes... Their faces were just a couple of inches away from each other's... No one moved for couple of seconds till a breeze blew a few strands of Diya's hair into her face... Ratan reached out and moved the hair away from her face and then put his hand under her chin and pulled her face closer to kiss her... One final time when he looked into her eyes he probably saw the hesitation that she had in her mind as he backed off after just placing a peck on her forehead... "Diya don't worry... I'll never force you to do something that you aren't ready for... You know that right...? " That cleared all the doubts that she had and she grabbed him by his face and kissed him squarely on his mouth... He was shocked at first but after couple of second he pulled her so close to her that not even air could pass from between them... He kissed her with a hunger that made her feel a little lightheaded... They kissed and kissed and kissed till their breath came out in short gasps..when they were done with all their passionate making out they still didn't lean away from each other and stayed in the same position for a few more minutes when Diya said " Bas aaj ke liye itna hi" to which Ratan mischievously replied "matlab bas itna hi surprise yaa bas itna hi romance?" and wiggled his eyebrows at her... She blushed a deep scarlet and punched him slightly in his arm and said "dono hi cheezein..." "I know Diya... I'm kidding... after today I can't say that I'm in love with you par aaj ke baad yeh toh pakka hai ki woh din aayega zaroor jab mujhe aapse beyhadh pyaar ho jaayega... Aur don't ever worry that I would ever make you do something that you aren't comfortable with... I want things to go slow with us... " He kissed Diya's cheeks, got up and offered her a hand to help her get up... She got up and gave him a quick kiss on his lips took his hand and let him lead her to their future which was brightly lit up with the light of a love that had just begun to develop...
