I Do.
Today was going to be her first date with him..Her heart was beating faster than she thought. "Control yourself!" she scolded," after all you're just meeting him after 1 year.." she said to herself with a shy smile.
He was going to pick her up for lunch and then show her around Mumbai, a place that she had been to since childhood, a place she thought was just a stopover to her actual destination. She wasn't interested in lunch, was n't interested in seeing the place, all she knew was that she had less than an hour to get dressed.
She didn't know what to wear,she didn't want to look dressy,yet wanted him to notice her. Ofcourse he had noticed her,that's why the date, but today was the day that she has been preparing for nearly a year now....
Without wasting any time, she supported her jeans and a purple t-shirt. "Okay not too casual and not too dressy...just right i hope", she whispered to herself.
Half-n-hour later she gets the call she had been waiting for all morning.
"Okay, I'm downstairs, wanna come down.",he said.
"AAAH!...He was here." she panicked. She quickly ran in front of the mirror to scan herself just one last time. Outfit. Okay. Make-up.Okay. Accessories.Okay. Hair! Hair had to be more than okay. "The first thing I notice about any girl is her hair"-he had said to her during one of their telecons. Okay, Can't be bad, just had them colored and blow-dryed from the best salon in town, they smelt nice too. Thankyou Wella.
Right.Now the time to face him. She landed 14 floors down and now she couldn't feel her heart rate. It had gone up and was beating at 500kms/hr. She walked out. He was there in his flashy red car waiting right outside the glass door. She hated that moment. That was the time of judgement. When he was staring at you from the time you walked out of the elevator till you walk through that door and down the steps ,open that car door and sit. "Phew! Made it without tripping or puking on the way", she sighed.
He looked just like she had expected him to. Rugged, Handsome, Strong,Stylish.....Perfect!
The hellos were exchanged rather casually and she was hoping that he put up the volume of the music so that he wouldn't hear her heartbeat."Gosh! He looks cute like always." she said to herself trying to hide that excitement.
So they drove around town and this time unlike their normal and bland conversations on the phone, there were some flirtatious looks and comments exchanged. Everytime he would say something like that, her heart would stop beating for a moment as he would look straight into her eyes. She couldn't look into his eyes. She was just too shy that day. She was hoping that she would stop blushing so that he wouldn't think that she had applied alot of rouge.
"So what about salsa? Want to teach me since you already are a teacher." he asked with a twinkle in his beautiful eyes.
"Where?",she asked,nervous about how she would perform in front of him,"There's no place to go."
"There is...my place." he said.
Pause. Silence. Looks.
"That is only if you are coomfortable with it." he added quickly.
"Sure!", she said. She had known him long enough to know his intentions. Pure and Clean was what he associated with.
They went home. Neat house. Good Furniture. Spacious as well.
He took her for a quick tour around. She loved it immediately. It was so warm. So homely. So welcoming.
They sat and spoke for a bit, watched the telly in the living room,binged on a few crisps. She even managed to show him a few salsa steps, but he didn't seem that interested. She knew that. She was a dance teacher and she had learnt on how to evaluate a student.
Then came the moment. This was it. She had to do it. It was now or NEVER and she didn't want the latter.
Deep Sigh. Okay. Here it was. Coming....and,
"Umm..you had told me that you wanted to tell me something. Do you want to now?" she said finally.
She had decided,if this was something irrelevant, she was going to interrupt and tell him.
"Well.." he had started,"here's the thing. I really like you. Not just like you but over the past few months, I have found myself so attached to you and gotten really close to you. I have come to this conclusion, that I want to be with you forever."
He came closer now.Held her hand.Tight. She was probably in coma by now. The shock was immense for her.
"I love you alot. I want you to be my wife. I want to get married to you.I see myself growing old with you. Will you marry me?" he completed.
She sat still. Not knowing whether she was dreaming. Her heart had now stopped beating. She had come down to India especially to tell him how much he meant to her.How much she loved him. How much she craved for his love. She was besotted by him. No, she was madly in LOVE with him.
Today,after one whole year,she is content and happy with her decision. She has experienced alot in this one year. Unlimited happiness with him around. Just happiness. Sure they have had their share of fights and arguments but nothing beats the making up part. Today they are strong in what they believe. He is her strength, her faith, her courage,her happiness, her...Everything.
Happy Anniversary Love! Thankyou for giving me the best year of my life. Am just so glad that will also get to spend the rest of my life with you. Love you.
