"Raina...i got you after so long ..i dont want to lose you...i wanted to make things special..." He smiled as they entered the cottage..

She sat there over thecouch and asked him...

"So this was where your parents got married?"

"Yeah...its beautiful isnt it?"

"Yeah it is..."

He went to her as helifted her up in his arms and carriedher to thesmall kitchen which had a wooden look with those tables, chairs and even the shelf...

"Sit here" he made her sit over one of the chairs as he served her the warm soup...

"Have it or you will freeze here"

He sat next to her with his bowl of noodles as she looked at him sternly...

"What?"

"Where is mine?" She asked.

He gave her a look as he continued having his noodles. She fumed with anger as she pulled his fork away and ate it while she collided with him. Their eyes met for a moment as he smiled while she pulled herself back and smiled walking upstairs

He followed her when he saw her enjoying watching the snowfall through the window. He held her from behind as he spoke up...

"Do you have any plans on writing even about this in your column" he said

"What?" She smiled...

"Yes because of most times i am the one you write about" he said...

"Because I love you" she said facing him this time...

The intense look was sending chills down her spine as he pulled her closer and soon their lips met... Melting in his hold she gave her in while he took her to bed. Cuddling with each other under the sheets both fell asleep under the essence of their purity in love...

.................

The moment his mother got to know about him coming back she made everything ready. She was throwing a surprise party for his surprise engagement that she planned. She even hid it from Ashika and sent her an expensive black saree for the function..Ashika was a bit surprised but she was told that it was the theme and thus she didnt ask much.

Finally the evening set in and the whole of the mansion shimmered with lights. She was too happy seeing Ashika dressed up the way she wanted to see her...

"You look so beautiful daughter" she smiled...

"Thanks auntie.."

Ashika looked around as his mother smiled teasing her...

"My son will be here any moment...till then enjoy the party...i will be back"

She took her leave as she attended the other guests. She was too happy that day... Soon after an hour later Nirvaan was standing at the doorstep in a quizzical look...

"Nirvaan" Ashika waved at him as he smiled at her...

He was about to ask herthe reason for the party when his mother came to him and took him to the stage without letting him speak a word...

"So ladies and gentlemen I... would love to welcome my son...Nirvaan and my daughter in law Ashika Sharma...please give a huge round of applause for them..."

Nirvaan was flabbergasted as he stared at his mother in shock. Ashika too was surprised by this sudden act. The crowd clapped for them while Raina wiped hertears standing at a corner of the doorstep. She turned and left silently without coming in notice...

"Mom...what is this?" He asked...

"Its your engagement today son"

Soon they were handed two rings and they stared at each other. He looked around to locate Raina but couldn't find her. He was forced to slid the ring into Ashika's finger while she did the same. The crowd congratulated them when he took a chance and walked out ti to the lawn in search of Raina....

..................

The alarm beeped several times when she closed it up and rubbed her swollen eyes. She checked her phone...there were about 57 missed calls with 30 messages all together waiting for her. All from Nirvaan. Her phone rang again as shechecked the time of the last call...4.45 am...that meant he was all awake just ringing her up. She answered it half heartedly this time...

"Raina...oh thank god that you answered the phone...thank you so much. I konw what you mustbe feeling but trust me i didnt have any idea of this surprise party and the engagement...it all happened so quick that mom didnt even listen to me" he said all in one breath...

"Congrates Nirvaan... I am happy for you...i will begoing back to Paris tonight..." She said informing him about her departure...

"What? No jaan please...you wont do that please i beg u...i will talk with mom...do you even know how i searched for you like crazily all around? I didnt even shut my eyes even for a second since 12 am of the night...i love you Raina.." he said...

"But your mom will never accept me"

"Do you love me or not?" He asked her...

Shefell silent as she looked outside the window. It was partially lighting up witha soft breeze blowing outside...

"I do" she said...

"Then try trusting mejust once...dont leave...please"

"I wont.." she said...

"Thanks...we will meet soon...for now let me sleep for some time if you allow"

She smiled...

"Yeah go to bed...i love you"

"I love you too"

The call disconnected as she had a satisfied smile over her lips. Autumn was there painting the ambiance in shades of orange and yellow...the crisp dry were melting down her heart with a different feeling all together. Love was like blended well in the air itself...she took out her diary as she sat over her bed curling up her knees as she started writing ..

""AUTUMN....with the advent of it in the ambiance...the whole of nature seemto wear an aureate shaded veil. The crisp leaves left my heart filled uncountable memories of the time when we first met. Those were the days when he was lost in me. I never realised that someone like him could like me. He was so different from others. He painted my life into a rainbow and filled it with all the bliss he could acquire. I was in awe with him being by my side...may be that was love...that was the feeling of being loved...""

She smiled closing it as her heart danced with the same old feeling of love. It seemed to her like those butterflies were rejuvenating filling her life with the bliss she missed all those days when he wasn't near...
