Vahni POV:

It's Friday, and I'm beyond excited. I wake up early, feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. I jump out of bed and rush to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

As I head downstairs for breakfast, I can feel my mom's eyes on me. She's sitting at the kitchen table, sipping a cup of coffee.

"Good morning, beta," she says, smiling at me. "You look like you're walking on air. What's going on?"

I take a seat next to her and pour myself a bowl of cereal. "Vihaan proposed to me," I say, trying to contain my excitement.

My mom's face lights up with joy. "Oh, beta! Congratulations!" she exclaims, pulling me into a tight hug.

I hug her back, feeling happy and relieved. "Thanks, Mom," I say, smiling.

After breakfast, I head back to my room to start getting ready for my date with Vihaan. I spend hours searching for the perfect dress, finally settling on a beautiful red gown that makes me feel like a princess.

As I'm getting ready, I start thinking about how far Vihaan and I have come. We've been through so much together - the ups and downs, the bad phases when I thought it was all over between us. But fate had other plans, and here we are, engaged and about to go on our first date.

I look at myself in the mirror, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness.

I take a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. I head to the bathroom to take a shower, letting the warm water wash away any remaining nerves.

After my shower, I get dressed in the beautiful red gown I chose earlier. I do my hair and makeup, feeling like a million bucks.

As I'm finishing up, I hear the doorbell ring. It's 7 pm, and Vihaan is right on time.

I make my way to the door, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness. I open the door, and Vihaan is standing there, holding a bouquet of beautiful red roses.

"Wow, Vihaan," I say, feeling touched by the thoughtful gesture. "They're beautiful."

Vihaan smiles, handing me the roses. "I'm glad you like them," he says.

I take the roses from him, inhaling their sweet fragrance. I head to the living room to put them in a vase, feeling grateful for the romantic gesture.

As I'm arranging the roses, Vihaan comes up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You look stunning, Vahni," he whispers in my ear.

I blush, feeling a little shy. "Thanks, Vihaan," I say, smiling.

We head out to Vihaan's car, and he opens the door for me. I get in, feeling like a princess.

As we drive off to the restaurant, I feel a sense of excitement and happiness. I'm finally on a date with the man I love, and I couldn't be happier.

We arrive at the restaurant, and Vihaan opens the door for me. I get out, feeling a little nervous but also excited.

We're shown to our table, and we sit down, looking over the menus. We order our food and drinks, and then we're left alone to chat.

The conversation flows easily, and we talk about everything from our jobs to our families to our dreams and aspirations. I feel like I've known Vihaan my whole life, and it's amazing how comfortable I feel around him.

As we finish our meal, Vihaan reaches across the table and takes my hand. "I'm having an amazing time, Vahni," he says, looking into my eyes.

I smile, feeling my heart flutter. "I'm having an amazing time too, Vihaan," I reply.
