As the Moments event planner company started their trip in night for this royal wedding, in other location, a couple also started their journey in a car for the same destination as they weren’t in a hurry to reach the destination.

They took full ten days for two to three days of journey, they visited their old friends, visited some places like Lunavla, Mahabaleshwar, etc., all in all a happy vacation which deepened their relationship and arrived at their destination as the same time as Barry’s entourage. Guest started to come a day before and was arranged; first thing Raj did after Barry returned was to inform him about Meera and Him, as his friend he was happy and relieved Meera of his duty which was not much either way.

Meera and Raj enjoyed festivities with happy mood and full enthusiasm and happiness, while there was nothing much to do, they did explore the city enjoyed the beauty of the city, of lakes in Udaipur at its fullest.

They enjoyed their time being together to the fullest, today Raj was standing near the one of the Ghats with Barry when he asked him with solemnness “Raj, what are your plans regarding Meera, the way you two behave when you two are around each other makes even others happy for you”

Barry thought for some time before suggesting merrily and with caution in his voice “My friend time wait for no one as you already know. You have already told me your story and there was a time in that, when if you have told her your problem then, your separation wouldn’t have been that long, tomorrow will be the last day of my wedding festivities after which she has return to U.S. so do you want to be separate from her even now?”

Listening to his friend’s advice he knew his friend was right. Today was the day when Barry is going to marry with Indian customs so he didn’t tarry but Raj stayed there, near the Ghats enjoyed the serene and calmness of water until the evening when the sun eventually started to set and colored the lake water with a tinge of saffron until his thought reached what he should do as she will return to the states if he didn’t do anything about it.

He returned to his room, called for Prashant to check the arrangements for the proceeding wedding ceremonies after finding everything in accord to arrangements he instructed Prashant to make some arrangement for him, after hearing what he has to prepare a smile leaked from Prashant’s lips, he understood that his friend has finally decided to make a move so he didn’t delay and left to make the preparations.

As the ceremonies proceeded, Raj attended it with Meera as they knew the time they have is limited, after the proceedings were over, he invited Meera to come to a palace which he arranged with the help of Prashant.

It is place which is like a canopy after the little bridge on the water or in general a gazebo in the middle of water, it was an ancient structure which was built by some king as he wants to spend some time with his queen while sitting it midst of water and enjoying their time by dipping their fits in the water. You can say a ‘Bawri’ with a sitting arrangement in the center of it. It also has all kind of carving on the boundaries which were made of white marble.

Raj with the help of Prashant made the little pond covered with fragrant candles and flowers with little lighting. That changed the overall feel of the place.

When Meera saw this place, she was pleasantly surprised and happy that her little rascal finally doing something romantically and couldn’t help herself from commenting “At least you have learned being romantic with being with the Boss”

Raj looked at her and smiled, he didn’t provide a retort and led her sit on the edge of sitting place and drowned his legs in little cold water, she did the same but baffled by his behavior.

Raj knew she would be spooked if he didn’t explain her things as she knew how much this guy kept in his heart so he spoke “Senior I was most happy these past few days in last five save for the night we met, I love being with you, as today I was chatting with Barry about you and I came to realize we don’t have much time to spend together”

After a sigh he continued “After that I spent all my time thinking there and remembered of elderly couple whom I met on assignment when I joined the company. They were an elderly couple who sometimes fight for nonsensical reasons and rest of time they enjoy each other’s company. I was baffled so I asked the grandpa about it and his answer stunned me”

Raj looked at Meera to see her reaction she was listening keenly as she knew there was meaning behind him telling her this story so when he stooped she asked “What did the grandpa said” following the rhythm of the scene.

Raj looked at her lovingly and continued the story in nostalgic tone “ He told me that there was a reason why they both fight for no reason, and that is that they were a loving couple from the college time and just as the college finished she become pregnant, she didn’t want to abort and he didn’t force her. He got the job from campus, so there parents didn’t oppose them and they married happily. After some time they welcomed baby boy which they raise by using all their efforts. As he grew up their love grew with him, they fight like normal couple when their views are different or for reasons related to the boy”

Raj paused for sec drink some water and continued “the boy grew up and left for the college and suddenly their life’s was missing a part they no longer had a reason to fight and they don’t know how to keep themselves busy so they invented this method after trial and errors but to their surprise there was an element that made their relation even better than before and that was talking. As they fight, they talked about themselves as the child was gone so their relationship became better and they continued this practiced until they died the next year I met them, from old age and both of them died together”

He finished his story and looked solemnly to Meera took Both her hands in his hands and told her “Meera, you are the only one who I can talk to my heart’s content, I was inspired by them about most of the relationships in the world and afraid because I have seen people in relationship who fight and all they literally do was the fight so I was afraid of commitment and I am sorry for that but this time I don’t want to let you go so...”

He put a hand in his pocket took out a box and opened it , there was simple yet elegant necklace in it which he put in between them and picked from where he left “ so by saying your name today for the first time I ask you, are you willing to fight me for rest of life?”

He had a content and serene expression on his face as he was able to say what he wanted to and conveyed his feelings.

Meera on the other hand listening with rapt attention almost couldn’t believe that this little rascal who didn’t even have courage to ask her be his girlfriend is asking her to marry him directly. She was shocked, happy, nervous, tongue tied and lost at the same time; she didn’t have time to digest this shock as she looked at him nervously, but by looking at him and what she found she couldn’t hold her laughter.

She found that Raj was in much worse condition than her, he was content to say what he wanted to but when he realized that he just called her by name and proposed her, he lost all his strength in the body and didn’t dare to look at her, he has hanged his neck so low and is looking at water below.

His reflection of facial emotion was a look that she found about him so amusing as he looked most cute to her when he was nervous if he had the little strength he would run from here so fast that he may have chance in the national tryouts.

She didn’t tease him and seriously considered his proposal, she loved him but she didn’t expected him to suddenly propose him, she considered everything for few minutes before saying “why the hell you didn’t bring me the ring if you are proposing and why in the hell are not helping me wear the necklace”

It took Raj few minutes before he realized that she agreed and he replied somewhat happy and dejectedly “I don’t know your finger size Senior so I didn’t buy the ring and if I really bought, I would definitely run hallway of what I did.”

Meera didn’t really know whether to laugh or cry about this so simply ordered him to help her with necklace, it isn’t that she couldn’t wear it herself rather she wanted him to it. It was a woman’s nature that she wanted to be adored by her man.

Raj looked at her and replied sincerely “Senior, I used all my courage and energy to propose you. I can’t even lift my finger as they are cold from nervousness.”

After hearing this reply Meera laughed even more than before and Raj too joined as he found this situation funny.

Meera closed their distance took both his hand and sat beside him until he became comfortable, then he helped her with the necklace, she didn’t looked at it before really but after carefully looking at it she liked it even more, it was unclear because of necklace design or emotions that were now attached to it that it become her favorite instantaneously.
