She slowly took her hands away from him. Ruhaan’s smile faded a little as she took off her hands from his'. But the next second his eyes widened in shock when he felt her lips on his’. Mishti feeling him not respond to the kiss, pinched his hand a little getting him out of shock. Coming out of shock he pulled her holding her waist close to him while responding to the kiss.
“I LOVE YOU too Ruhaan!” Mishti whispered with broad smile panting after breaking the kiss and pecked his lips again.
Ruhaan’s smile was bright like sun light and he just pulled her into a tight hug.
“You want to kill me right?” Mishti asked feeling suffocated in his tight hug.
Ruhaan laughed loosening the hug but not breaking the hug. Mishti smiled bright. She broke the hug and looked at him. She is just staring him with smile while Ruhaan is looking at her back lovingly. Suddenly Mishti sat on her knee forwarding a ring to Ruhaan. He was surprised like hell.
“You just confessed your love for me… but here I am with proposal for wedding. Will You Marry Me Ruhaan?” Mishti asked forwarding the ring to Ruhaan.
Ruhaan could only nod being overwhelmed of the surprise Mishti has got for him and forwarded his hand. Mishti happily adored the ring to his finger. She then kissed his knuckles smiling happily. Ruhaan made her stand and hugged her again.
“Thank You Mish! Thank You so much!” Ruhaan said in happiness hugging her.
Mishti is just smiling. She spoke nothing. She doesn’t understand what to speak. All she is feeling right now is happiness. Lots and lots of happiness. She closed her eyes with content in his embrace. Ruhaan is still in processing of what Mishti has done. Here he thought of surprising her and confess his feelings to her but she has surprised him proposing him for wedding which he had not expected or would never even expect.
“Mish!” he called her and was about to break the hug.
“No! If you want to talk, talk like this otherwise don’t talk.” Mishti spoke adamantly.
Ruhaan couldn’t help but smile by her demand. He once again wrapped his hands around her making her smile huge. She then adjusted in his embrace and looked at him through his embrace.
“Tell me!” Mishti said.
“When did you get that ring? And where did you hide it all the time you were here? And yeah how did you get my finger size?” Ruhaan asked.
Mishti rolled her eyes listening his questions.
“Don’t you want to know whether it is real gold or not? Or how much it weigh? Wait or how much it cost? Or from which store did I get?” Mishti huffed looking away from him but trying to tighten the hug.
Ruhaan chuckled.
“Just answer the questions I asked. I don’t want to know other things.” Ruhaan said joining both their forehead.
“I won’t say!” Mishti huffed again with irritation evident on her face.
“Mish please.” Ruhaan pleaded.
“What will you do knowing it?” Mishti asked.
“Sayyyyyy!” he sang adamantly.
“I should bare this adamant whole life now. God save me!” Mishti spoke looking up into the sky.
Ruhaan giggled. Mishti smiled seeing his happy giggle.
“I got your finger size from your cupboard. I sneaked into your room one day, took out a ring, measured it with thread, and again sneaked out of your room. I got the ring umm… may be three months ago. And I hid the ring here in my this little pocket.” Mishti said everything and at the end showed the pocket.
Ruhaan kept smiling all the way she spoke.
“If you got it three months ago why didn’t you give it to me before?” he asked.
“I was scared!” Mishti spoke sighing.
“Of?” Ruhaan asked confused.
“Scared that you would say no, scared of losing our friendship.” Mishti said.
“Then why did you get it now?” he asked.
“Because I know you are going to do this.” She said giggling.
He shook his head in disbelief but with smile. He bent to her face and kissed her forehead lovingly.
“I Love You!” he confessed again.
“I Love… me too!” Mishti giggled.
She pushed him and started running.
“Mish careful!” warning her he ran behind her to catch her.
Mishti is giggling and running all the way when suddenly he came front of her and held her through waist smirking.
“Now where will you go Miss. Mishti Gadodia?” Ruhaan asked rubbing her nose with his.
Mishti smiled bright.
“Shall we have dinner?” he asked cupping her face with smile.
Mishti smiled nodding. He guided her to the table and pulled the chair for her. She smiled and sat on the chair. He was about to go to his chair but she held his hand stopping him. He looked at her questioningly. She showed the place beside her. He smiled understanding her and nodded. He pulled the chair beside her chair and sat beside her. She smiled bright.
“Ruhaan!” Mishti called him when he is serving into the plate.
“We should inform our parents.” Mishti spoke worried.
“What do you think? Would they be okay with our relation?” Ruhaan asked looking at her.
“Umm… I don’t know.” Mishti said.
“What if they say no?” He asked.
“Then we will take help of Doll and Mr. Irritating Creature. Give this task to them.” Mishti said smiling sheepishly.
Ruhaan chuckled.
“As if they have less problems in their love story! Remember even they didn’t get the approval yet.” Ruhaan spoke shaking his head.
“Would papa really say no?” Mishti asked worried.
“That you will know only when you tell him that you love me.” Ruhaan said shrugging.
“What about uncle and aunty?” Mishti asked.
“I am sure they like you. They won’t have a problem as far as I know them.” He said.
“But…” Ruhaan interrupted her by putting a morsel of food into her mouth.
“Let’s not overthink. Let’s go with the flow.” He said.
He doesn’t want to tell her that everybody except her knows about his feelings for her. Anyways she would know once she goes home. He just wants to see how would she react when she gets to know that everybody knows.
Mishti nodded trying to overcome the fear she is feeling in her at present. He signed her towards her plate indicating her to have food but she shook her head. He raised his eyebrow while she opened her mouth making him smile. He just fed her smiling bright.
“Where is ice cream?” Mishti asked as they got done with their dinner having some cute talks.
“You just had gulab jamun as your dessert Mish.” Ruhaan said shaking his head.
“I call only ice cream as my dessert.” Mishti said.
“Mish it’s already winters. No ice cream.” Ruhaan said strictly.
“But I promise to have warm water as soon as we go home.” Mishti said making an innocent face.
“The way you had that night?” Ruhaan asked raising his eyebrow.
“You remember?” Mishti asked surprised.
“Of course I do. I remember every thing about you.” He said looking at her.
Mishti smiled and hugged him tight.
“You are such a cute boyfriend!” Mishti said.
Ruhaan chuckled.
“But it’s our special day. I won’t disappoint you. I will really have warm water. Let’s have some ice cream pleaseeee.” She acted the cutest way she could.
Ruhaan can’t stop himself from melting like always.
“Okay! Fine!” he said giving up.
“Yes! Let’s go and have from the road side vendor.” Mishti said.
He nodded and smiled. Mishti held his hand and they both moved towards the door. Ruhaan tried to open it only to understand it is locked.
“It’s locked!” Ruhaan said.
“Locked? Let me see.” Mishti moved front and tried opening the door to find it locked as Ruhaan said.
“Now how?” she asked looking at Ruhaan.
“Let me call Sanskar. He only spoke to the staff about all the arrangements while I was explaining them how to do.” Ruhaan said.
Mishti nodded. Ruhaan called Sanskar. Sanskar who was working in his room smiled seeing the id. He took the call.
“Hello!” Sanskar spoke as he took the call.
“Sanskar! Do you have number of any staff of the restaurant. The door is locked.” Ruhaan directly came to point.
“First tell me is the mission successful?” Sanskar asked.
“Of course yes. Why do you get that doubt?” Ruhaan asked.
“Because I couldn’t trust any of you.” Sanskar said chuckling.
“You idiot you planned it!” Mishti shouted making Sanskar chuckle more.
Mishti had made Ruhaan put phone on speaker when he dialled Sanskar’s number. Ruhaan shook his head smiling and hugged Mishti to calm her down as she is all ready to burst in anger at Sanskar.
“I will inform the staff. They will be there in five minutes. Till then Happy Romancing!” Saying Sanskar immediately cut the call.
Mishti stamped her foot huffing angrily. Ruhaan chuckled and pulled her more into his hug.
“This guy is the most irritating creature of my life.” Mishti stated twisting her lips.
Ruhaan smiled and kissed her head making Mishti smile. Soon they hear the door opening sound and looked at the restaurant staff who opened the door.
“Sir here are the keys which Mr. Maheshwari has asked me to give to you.” The staff spoke.
“Thank You!” Ruhaan said.
“I hope you had a good time sir and ma’am. Hope to see you again!” he said politely smiling at them.
Ruhaan and Mishti smiled nodding before leaving.
“Your car? How did it reach here?” Mishti asked surprised.
She loves his car so much as it has the system to open and close the car roof.
“Why is it important anyways?” Ruhaan asked.
Mishti shrugs and gets into the car as he opened the door for her. He takes the driving seat and opens the roof before even starting the car. Mishti grins happily and immediately stands on the seat letting half of her body out of the car and widening her hands letting the cold winds hug her. Ruhaan smiled as he drove away. Mishti enjoyed the whether happily smiling while Ruhaan kept driving the car. It was a long drive. Mishti smiled seeing the whole road empty as it is already very late at night.
“I LOVE YOU RUHAAN!” Mishti screamed spreading her hands happily.
Ruhaan was surprised as well as overwhelmed hearing her scream.
“Mish get down!” he called her.
“I LOVE YOU RUHAAN!” Mishti screamed again happily.
Ruhaan could only feel contended with her act. He knows that this the most beautiful day of his life and this moment is the best moment of his life. He would never in his life can get this beautiful moment in his life. Mishti bent down and suddenly pecked his cheek making his eyes wide.
“Get into the world before it’s too late my king!” she whispered bringing him back into the world.
He smiled bright. She got herself settled inside the car.
“Stop! Stop!” She said.
Ruhaan looked at her but stopped the car making sure it is safe.
“What happened Mish?” he asked worried.
“Let’s walk for few minutes.” She said getting down the car.
“Mish it’s already very late!” Ruhaan said getting down.
Mishti just held his hand and started moving. He couldn’t help but only give in.
“Ru!” Mishti called him when they were walking with their fingers intertwined and beautiful smiles playing on their lips.
“Hmm!” he hummed.
“I Love You!” she muttered staring him lovingly as she turned towards him when he hummed.
He looked at her with his bright smile. He never knew that their confession would make the moments even more beautiful. Every moment is felt so beautiful.
“I Love You too!” He whispered turning completely towards her kissing her forehead lovingly.
Mishti closed her eyes feeling his lips on her forehead. She just felt this moment to stop there. She just kept her hands around his torso and hug him tight.
“I just want this moment to stop right here. Everything is so perfect!” Mishti spoke as she closed her eyes by placing her head on his chest listening to his heart beats while he tightened the hug putting his chin on her head closing his eyes.
The calm atmosphere around with no vehicle noises made it so peaceful. Both of them just felt content in each other’s arms. They both are just in their world when Ruhaan’s phone rang making him to take one hand from around Mishti which Mishti definitely didn’t like. She pouted looking at him while he smiled pecking her forehead again.
“It’s from Doll!” Ruhaan said as he took the phone from his pocket.
He took the call and kept it on speaker as he knows his Mishti would want to listen.
“Finally Jijsssss!” Ragini screamed happily.
Sanskar has informed her about their confession which made Ragini very happy.
Ruhaan chuckled while Mishti smiled seeing her Doll happy for her than herself.
“Now come fast home. I want to hug you both very tight. And also I am sleepy. I can’t stay awake anymore. Chollyyyyy!” Ragini spoke everything cute.
MisHaan could only chuckle at their Doll’s cuteness.
“Will be there in twenty!” Ruhaan spoke.
“Drive safe! See you soon!” Ragini said before cutting the call.
Ruhaan looked at Mishti who is already looking at him.
“When did you tell her about your feelings for me?” Mishti asked.
He broke the hug and held her hand walking back towards their car.
“May be very long ago!” Ruhaan said.
“Like in last birth?” Mishti asked sarcastically.
Ruhaan chuckled shaking his head as no.
“May be in our summer vacation!” he said.
Mishti nodded.
“Atleast I told her. But you didn’t!” Ruhaan mocked her.
“Are we going to mock each other now?” Mishti asked.
“You just want to spoil our special time!” Ruhaan spoke huffing.
“Whatever!” she said getting into the car.
“I am so tired now!” Mishti spoke as she got settled in the car.
Ruhaan just smiled and started driving. That’s when he felt her head on his shoulder.
“You tell me from when did you know you have started liking me more than a friend?” Ruhaan asked.
“Ummm…. May be when I fell ill the day we had ice cream that late winter night!” Mishti said smiling.
“We both just had to hide from each other, aren’t we?” Ruhaan spoke shaking his head as he felt disbelief of themselves for hiding for more than a year about their feelings.
“I was scared!” she said shrugging.
“As if I was not!” he muttered.
Mishti just smiled. She closed her eyes in content with smile playing on her face placing her head on Ruhaan’s shoulder while he continued driving with smile that showed the happiness which his heart is filled with. He could feel a lot of peace. All he could pray is to have that peace forever. The whole drive was just silent. A very comfortable and peaceful silence. They could even hear each other’s heart beats that are matching the rhythm of each other’s beat. It was like his heart beat is giving a perfect rhythm to hers and vice versa. They liked even that silence. If it was any other time Mishti would have got irritated of the silence but this silence made her feel really good. She just wants this all the time. Him beside her and the smile on both their faces. She took her head away from his shoulder and pecked his cheek suddenly making him wide eyed.
“Concentrate Mr. Ruhaan!” Mishti spoke chuckling.
“Do not perform such stunts. They are really dangerous to our lives while driving!” Ruhaan spoke giving a look to her and concentrating back on his driving.
“STUNTS?” Mishti exclaimed and hit Ruhaan angrily.
He chuckled and kissed her head as she kept her head back on his shoulder.
“I Love You!” She confessed again.
He smiled and whispered back an “I Love You too” for her making her grin even more wide if possible. She is not able to control herself from confessing her love from the time of their confession. She just wants to show him how much she is in love with him. She didn’t understand or didn’t think that anything would be better than telling those three precious words repeatedly to him. And he is really happy every time she said those three precious words to him.
He stopped the car as they reached their homes. They had their ice cream in the way as he couldn’t stop himself from fulfilling her wish. He had told her like fifty times to have warm water and she promised she would before going to sleep. As soon as they got down they saw Ragini running towards them. She just hugged both of them tight together as they stood beside each other. Both of them smiled as her hug showed all the happiness.
“Finally my Mish got the one!” Ragin smiled happily and kissed Mishti’s forehead lovingly making Mishti smile bright at her sister’s love for her.
“You are the best Jijs!” She hugged Ruhaan tight while he hugged her back caressing her hair.
“You both bid good nights for the day and come. I am going to the room! Good night!” Saying she went inside like a bullet train giving them privacy once again.
Ruhaan pinned Mishti to the car as soon as Ragini left inside. Mishti smiled putting her hands around his neck.
“Now do all the mischief Miss. Mishti!” Ruhaan whispered brushing his lips on her lips.
Mishti felt weak in her knees suddenly. Her grip around his neck got a bit tight making Ruhaan to hold her waist protectively understanding his affect on her. He pulled her close to him.
“Ru…” she was interrupted by him as he placed a finger on her lips.
She got drowned in his orbs while Ruhaan kissed her forehead lovingly. He just lingered his lips on her forehead for few moments after kissing her forehead.
“Don’t forget to have warm water before going to sleep. Good Night my queen!” He whispered before kissing her right cheek which made Mishti’s cheeks red.
He smiled seeing those red blush cheeks.
“Let’s meet tomorrow. Have a sound sleep!” He said leaving her.
Mishti nodded and was about to go looking down in shy due to his intense gaze but Ruhaan held her hand. She looked at him. He also gazed her. She moved close and kissed his forehead with smile on her face cupping his face, after the forehead kiss she spoke.
“Good Night Ru! Mishti dreams!” she said with mischievous wink making him chuckle.
She left him and ran inside smiling like a lunatic. Ruhaan stood seeing her running inside with bright smile on his face.
