She sat there frowning as she waiting for him deep in thoughts. Many scenarios running in her mind as she tries to figure out why he had wanted to meet her so suddenly. He had become distant in the last few weeks and it made her wonder has he found more beautiful girl than her.
Hearing roar of his bike she came out of her musing and rise from her seat to greet him. However, something was going on in his mind as he take his seat without returning any greeting or meeting her eyes.
Without missing heartbeat he started to talk, “Em, I understand we only know each other for only one year and had been together for only a few monthes but I am trying very hard for this thing to stay that way,” her heartbeat accelerate hearing his words, He continued his speech, “and you once said that meeting me was new chapter in your life,” he take deep breathe, “and I want that chapter to finish today.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she tries to understand his words, she had not expected this kind of separation sure she knows she was too good for him but maybe once in life, she could have been lucky…. “Ohk, it's ok,” she said taking deep breathes as she stars down in her lap blinking her eyes to stop tears from falling down.
“Em, are you listening?” He asks waving his hand in from of me, making her loke up at him.
“Yeah, what..what were you saying?” she asks, holding herself together in front of him.
“I was saying, you remember how we exchange something every month?” He asks again.
Not understanding why he was bringing up this thing at this time, she answers uncertainly, “Yeah...But what about it?” she asks him, hoping that he could not try to take the thing back which were beautiful memories for her.
“I want something from you this very last time before our chapter finish.” He said calmly.
“What you want?” she questions with so many emotions that his heart break.
“You see it is not really taking or stealing, it’s only borrowing,” He said slowly.
“Do you intended to give it back?” She questions him.
“No,” he said without thinking or missing a heartbeat.
He slides a book toward her indicating with his hand to open it. As she started to opens the book she realizes it was some kind of box rather a book. Seeing the content of box her heart stop for a moment.
“I want your Heart Em. I want your love, for us to start a new chapter in our life, ” he takes a deep breath before saying his next words, “I want to spend my life with you, grow old with you. I want to fulfill my dreams with you because without you there are no dreams. Will you marry me?” By now he was kneeling before her with hope in those ocean blue eyes and a warm but nervous smile on his lips.
“Yes,” She answers without thinking because she knows all this time she also wanted to start that new chapter of life with him.
