CHECKED AND SOUL-MATE...
Leaning her head back in the car, she reviewed the list of things-to-do for the last time.
Shiv was nicely tucked in bed at her mom place?
Checked
Luggage was packed?
Checked
Tickets and Passports were secured in her purse?
Checked
Flight to London was confirmed?
Checked
The last request by Him was getting fulfilled?
Ruefully, looking down at the dark blue gown, she whispered.
Checked
Taking a deep breath, she let the driver lead her to the place, he was advised to.
Her body was shivering with new kind of sensation.
It wasn't like she wasn't in a relationship. Heck, she just get free from that worst thing three months before as her divorce was finalized. But he, was a different case altogether. Her first childhood crush. Her first love. Though his commitment phobic nature had pulled them apart and made her get married to that shun of a man, but he was never a deceiver. So when he asked her for a night out, A night for him to cherish and be content with, A night without regrets, she had to give in.
---------------------------
As soon her foot stepped out clad in sleek silver heels, he braced himself only to get stumped by her gorgeousness.
Devine. She looked
Her hairs- curled. Her eyes- smoky- highlighted. Her skin- flawless.
Gosh. How could he tell her goodbye.
As she approached him with steady steps, he gave a final look to the decor around before greeting her with a smile.
Surprised- understatement for her.
On plush green carpet of grass was the bench, they both used to share earlier in childhood. Their families had used to come here for picnics but the falling sun, blue sky and dimly lit oil lamps scattered around do added another level of Romance-izam to the place.
"You look Beautiful" He appreciated.
"Your choice was great" She smiled and complimented back.
" You look great too" with those sexy gelled hairs. She wanted to say.
" Thanks ... Come here..." Holding her hand tenderly, he lead her to the set of folding chairs separated by the table. Presented beautiful flowers, which she gladly accepted.
Making her sit , he set the take it dinner from the basket along with a bottle of red wine.
Astonished. She was with each act.
" I hope you like my choice of menu" He asked humorously before taking his place- opposite.
" You know my taste too well Arjun" And he knew.
Filling her glass with wine, he let her serve herself first before he took the pleasure.
" How's Shiv?"
" Naughty as much as a two year old could be" She replied with a motherly smile.
" He is adorable. Like you" Putting the bite on fork in his mouth, he looked at her, making her blush on each exposed and unexposed area of skin.
" Thanks"
" How's Aunty Uncle?" She inquired.
" Great... Worrying for my marriage"
Raising het brow, she inquired- friendly.
"And you?"
Busy in his food, he replied" Earlier I was dodging them... Now finally, Sitting with someone I want to be settled with"
Air left her system. Jaws Dropped. Eyes wide fix on him.
" Arjun" She called when he didn't spare her a look for next minute.
Realising a breath, he leaned back and look straight into her eyes.
" It's The Truth"
The fork left her fingers with clatter.
Getting up, he came closer, keeping her eyes engaged with his, before hunching down on his knees.
" I know Arohi... I always was a Commitment phobic person... I never realized your worth till, I lost you but now, I am phobic to the thought of loosing you again... Don't go... Stay here...Stay for me... Marry me..." Heart was shown in his eyes.
Her heart paced- fastly. But then, things have changed.
" I am not the same Arohi, Arjun. Things have changed. I am a mother now before anything".
"And I want to be father of that same child...I want him...want to have him my name...just allow me and I promise, no regrets will ever seep in our lives."
How she wished to give in. But holding herself back, she got up.
" I have a flight to catch tomorrow"but before a step away was taken, she was pulled back into his hard grip and her lips were captured by him in a pleasured kiss.
" Stay for me, please" He was pleading.
" Hmmm" She hummed against his lips and taking it an acceptance, he pushed the ring in her finger after taking it out from his pant pocket.
" I love you...only you" He said peering her hand next with kisses.
" I Ave loved you...always you" She confessed, hugging him tightly.o
Really engaged?
One look at the ring. " Checked"
One look at the man."& Mate...Soul-mate".
