Manik looked at the woman in front of him as he kissed her forehead, her voice still ringing constantly in his brain. It was beautiful as she felt all the things that he feels. He can feel the shudders that runs through her as she says her feelings. He knew she is also scared, her fear and his are different.

She fears losing what she just got while he fears her leaving. She fears attachment because leaving a family which she got after praying and begging would be way too complicated for her.

The gaping hole has started to fill as he gaped at her sensual form. Her lithe body sliding his body as he put her on the floor. Her every curve, her every nook and corner, he felt it all as his hands glided over her.

Nandini heaved as his hands glides her and she pulled him to her lips to kiss which he willingly helped her with. She felt him taking her in his arms. He kissed her in ways she couldn't express, his chapped lips felt hard on her soft ones, biting and pulling away finally she heaved in breathes as he again pulled her in a kiss.

Manik whispered "so soft and pretty" as he stared at her face which looked red from all the adrenaline rush that they both felt. Nandini blushed a bit more as they both stared at each other and smiled.

She kissed his neck as he hugged her tightly. Hiding in his neck she smiled and kissed his neck continuously. Suddenly, after confessing what she felt, everything felt easy to her. the point of not being a control freak still stands but with that there's a feeling of demand that makes her want to say to him that he cant leave her now, he is hers.

She still kept quiet and kept pulling tighter in the hug. Manik felt a little distressed understanding her emotions and said "now, I am yours and you are mine."

Nandini whispered in his neck "you are mine and mine alone." Don't leave me...

Manik understood as she stopped speaking and smiled saying "I am not leaving you alone."

Manik smiled as she loosened her grip for a second before tightening it again and smiled in his neck.

Manik whispered to her ear "I guess, now marriage isn't a problem at all."

"I want a proposal from you and I don't care how you will give me that." Nandini said pulling away from the hug and Manik smiled at her.

He pecked her lips and said "of course."

He then straightened and stood aa little away from her and said "go get ready now."

Nandini looked at him and asked "for what? We don't have any meeting now..."

"get ready in a nice dress. Go!"

She whined a bit when he forced her to get ready.

Manik smiled at her as she came wearing a cute black high low lace dress. Nandini twirled for him and he smilingly sling his arm around her shoulder whispered in her ears "you look marvellous and every time I look at you, my breathing stops too."

Nandini smiled and her eyes glittered, she looked at him as he opened the door for her, Nandini thanked him and he too, for the first time, didn't said anything flirty.

"Manik, why have you blindfolded me!" Nandini said as soon as Manik took her out of the car.

"because you won't keep your eyes shut." Manik said as he looked ahead and finally reached the place he wanted to take her to.

The amusement park.

Nandini felt her blindfold being taken off and looked around as suddenly light fell on her and Manik.

Nandini looked around to see a whole lot of crowd is there and the amusement park is covered in flowers and lightings. The crowd had a flower in their hands as she turned towards Manik in shock.

Manik was on his knees as she turned and whispered "Manik what are we doing here?"

Manik smiled at her surprised look and said "I love you, Nandini. Remember, I told you how I can't give a crowd and all, today I give you my everything and take yours for me. I am giving you the crowd which I thought I can't afford. Will you marry me? will you be mine?"

Nandini looked at him as he extended his arm towards her and the crowd started throwing flowers at them as she just puts her hand in his. He looked at her with his shinning eyes as her head bobbed and tears falls from her eyes. She smiled as he made her wear a ring. She smiled at him and pulled him into hug.

The roses mixed with many other flowers falls on them. Suddenly Nandini feels a pat on her dress as she looks behind her to a kid holding a flower of iris and said "hope."

She smiled and looked at Manik who in return smiled saying nothing.

Another kid comes and hands a plum blossom looking at which Nandini smiled and said "promise..." The little kid smiled and nodded while another one came forward giving her a tulip and said "love."

Manik smiled as Nandini collected all the flowers and finally the kids who were giving her flowers stood in a line and said "you are the hope and promise, you are memory of good and bad, you are the reason of the happy moment and you are the one I can't stay without. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?"

The kids completed and turned around showing their backs to Nandini as she gasped reading the letters on the kids back "GIVE ME YOUR LOVE."

Nandini looked at Manik overwhelmed and then he said "I love you."

Nandini kept her head on his shoulder as people applauded and suddenly some reporters came forward but before they could say something, Manik pulled Nandini away and to the car.
