Rick led Rose forward after covering her eyes, they walked for just a few movements with Rick carefully holding her hand and helping her walk without falling.

They stopped at some point and Rose felt Rick going behind her and removing her blindfolds.

She opened her eyes when she heard Rick's whisper next to her ear, Rose was left in awe with the view in front of her. She felt tears of happiness filled her eyes.

In the front she saw the purple lanterns scattered around the area there was a small frozen lake in between which was also decorated with lanterns around it that were purple. Beside the lake was a big tree whose branches were spreading out. The tree was also decorated with lights, small lights were hanging on the branches in star shape. Under the tree, there was a big red heart standing with lights on it, and big letters of "I LOVE YOU" were lightning up.

The view was amazing and to make it even perfect nature played its role when the sky started showing its magic by covering the sky in purple colors of auroras.

It was like everything was in sync with the decor, the lights, the weather.

Rose got overwhelmed with feelings that she was experiencing, she felt like it was some movie set and things were not real.

She pinched herself to make her realize that it was all real.

This proposal was something she least expected. She thought Rick was not ready yet.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Rick and he led her near the tree, on the pathway that was covered with small lights, there was a small heart shape made in the snow visible when they got near it. Rick made her stand inside the heart and bent on one knee holding her hand in his, she listened to him when he took a few deep breathes before saying:

"ROSE, I LOVE YOU. He took a small gap and continued. I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN BUT IT'S JUST TOO STRONG FOR ME TO NOT ACCEPT IT. I WON'T DENY IT, I TRIED TO AVOID THESE FEELINGS INITIALLY, BUT YOU WERE SO IRRESISTIBLE THAT AS MUCH AS I TRIED TO AVOID YOU, I FELL FOR YOU EVEN HARDER"

"Even if you are not ready for this, give me a chance. I will not disappoint you. Though I don't have money as much as compared to you do, I promise I'll work hard and will try to fulfill all your wishes, but right now I don't have anything to give you other than love and respect.

Rose listened to every word that he had spoken, it was like she was dreaming and listening to a beautiful song.

She quickly went to her knees just as Rick was, there were tears in her eyes. Rick wiped her tears and kissed both of her hands that were in his hands.

"I LOVE YOU TOO RICK" he heard her say. Rick felt his whole body heat up with unknown emotions. The feeling that she will be her forever was immense. He quickly got on his feet and picked Rose in his arms and Swirled her around. He looked so happy as if a child had got his favorite candy.

She felt shocked by his action but that changed into laughter in another second.

"Rick what are you doing, please let me down," Rose asked him scared.

"Thank you, Rose, thank you so much for being my forever," Rick said while letting her down on her feet.

"Forever! Are you sure, won't you get bored of me??" Rose asked while joking

"Never! You don't know what effects you had on me, it's like you cast a spell on me, like couldn't get you out of my mind even for a single minute" Rick said sincerely

Rose doesn't know how she will possess all these emotions that he is showering her with. All she knew was now they both were together in a relationship. Her emotions were not settled yet when she found Rick guiding her in some direction.

She was not over with this surprise and now he has one more in his bucket.

Oh God! How should I handle all of this happiness all at once?

They walked just a little bit and Rose got the view where they were heading. Just by looking at it, she felt her body heating up and butterflies dancing in her body.

There was a small transparent glass igloo, beautifully decorated with small lights surrounded by snow.

They entered inside, it was warm and cozy, and she saw how beautiful the view was. There was a bed just under the glass. When you lay on the bed you can see the whole sky and when you see out you can see the vast area covered in snow.

Suddenly Rose remembered something, she turned around ready to say something when Rick interrupted her.

"I know what you are thinking about, but we will be only spending time here getting to know each other and admiring the view outside, nothing more than that."

"How did you get, what was in my mind," Rose said with shock-filled eyes

She was not ready to take things further just yet. Kissing or hugging was something normal to her but let's see if they will continue with their mind or if their hearts will take charge.

"I can feel your nervousness while entering inside, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable around me." He explained

"Even I want to take things slow," said Rick, again which brought a big smile to Rose's face.

So, what's next, Asked Rose?

"Dinner?" asked Rick

This makes Rose realize that she didn't have her dinner yet and her stomach growled, making both of them laugh.

Rick called someone and in just a few minutes the dinner came in.

Rose felt surprised.

"Where were you hiding this food, I didn't see anyone around" She looked at the table full of delicious food which was warm and tempting

"Sam is nearby in case of any emergency," Rick said

Rose nodded her head in, a 'that makes sense' manner.

They sat at the dining table and started eating.

Rose's appetite increased just by looking at all the types of dishes on the table and she started devouring the food.

Rick just admired her while eating. After dinner, they lay down on the big bed.

they lay on their back admiring the sky above them. It was clear with lots of stars shining brightly with some hues of purple aurora which started to fade off.

They both just lay there feeling at peace.
