The Unique Proposal
Shlok Agnihotri, the most sensible Agnihotri of the family, was now going crazy! And that was all thanks to his little wifey, Mrs. Astha Shlok Agnihotri, whom he was going gaga about.
Initially he was just attracted to her, but now... He felt he had gone too far. He had fallen in love! LOVE! That was something old that he'd done.
Her antics, her cheerfulness, her helpfulness, her anger, her understanding, her beauty, her unconditional love towards him.. Or just say basically HER. She had stolen his heart completely. And he was glad she did.
It had been 1 year since they both were forced to get married, and both did, just to keep their respective parents happy. In the beginning, everything was AWKWARD or even that was an understatement. It was so awkward that neither of them spoke to each other. But now, when and how did he fall in love, even he didn't know. He was glad that she had come into his life, but he realized it's quite late. He knew she was in love with, since she had confessed during Holi, when she was intoxicated, ofcourse. She wouldn't even dare to say it in all her senses. Was she still scared of me? He wondered. Anyway, moving on, Shlok was now planning to confess his feeling to her. But he was HORRIBLE at confessing, and he was sure about it. He didn't know what to do, but he had made it a goal to make it unique. After all, she deserved it, since she waited so patiently, still had hope in our relationship when he had lost it all, in the beginning ofcourse.
Suddenly an amazing idea struck his mind. He knew she was super excited when it came to bollywood music. She would start dancing wherever she would be if she heard bollywood music. So he thought of using what she loved, to propose to her. He wanted to propose, since they had never gotten a chance, and Shlok knew she would obviously want... Any girls dream where her loved one would propose to her, was pending, and he would pay off the loan, with "interest" of course. He smirked thinking what would her reaction be. And with that thought, he had left to make some arrangements.
Astha was busy cleaning her room when suddenly she recieved a message. She checked and was shocked! Why was Shlok texting her? He never did till now... But she was VERY happy! He had finally made the move. She was very embarrassed after the Holi incident and never wanted to face him after that, but after that day, something had changed. His face never carried a blank expression whenever he spoke to her after that. She finally read the text and was shocked once more! He asked me to get ready..for dinner? DINNER? Whaaat? Oh god, yay! Astha was very excited and with all the excitement she went to get ready, after texting him an "Okay :)".
Shlok was waiting for Astha in the car, when she suddenly appeared out of no where looking like the most beautiful woman of the world! In a red saree, with a black shimmer border, she looked simple, yet stunning, and was dressed to kill! Shlok couldn't move his eyes away from her.all the dirty thoughts running in his mind... Oh No! How was he going to spend the even ping with her.. Alone! I hope I don't scare her away! He thought and with all the hardwork, he tore his eyes off her face. She opened the car door, and sat in. Their journey to the restaurant was quiet. They had finally reached and Shlok asked Astha to go in, while he would park his car and come...
Astha got out of the car, but wasn't sure whether the restaurant was even open since it was completely dark. Okay not completely, but there were just a few candles lit up here and there, that didn't help at all.
Shlok had returned, and asked Astha to enter the restaurant first. She didn't find anyone in there. She looked around everywhere, and back at Shlok. Shlok asked her to look at a particular table. The bulb above the table was switched on and she found a big piece of chart with something written on it.
"Tujhe Dekha Toh Ye Jaana Sanam, Pyaar Hota Hai Deewana Sanam" and a rose kept next to it. She giggled and was confused what was that for. She looked at him once again.
Suddenly, the bulb above another table lit up. That also had a pice of chart with another song written on it. And then all the light bulbs above the other tables also lit up. Each table had a chart with a rose placed besides it.
She walked around the whole restaurant, passing by each table.
"Muskurane Ki Wajah Tum Ho".. She smiled with tears in her eyes. And picked the rose. "Teri Muskurahate Hain Taaqat Meri, Mujhko Inhi Se Ummeed Mili" she was touched, she turned around and looked at him. He was leaning on the door, smiling and looking at her, he was happy, she loved it...and that was all that mattered.
"Zara Se Dil Me De Jagah Tu, Zara Sa Apna Le Banaa" ... "Mujhe Teri Zaroorat Hai"... And that was it. She looked at him crying. He was shocked to see her cry. In no time he was in front of her. "What happened Astha? Why are you crying?" And in reply, she just hugged him and cried. She hugged him... For the first time. He was very happy! He was just so happy he couldn't believe it that it was really happening. "Thank You so much... You don't know what this means to me... I've never been so happy all my life... Thank you... So much...". He was touched. He just hugged her very tightly, almost crushing her in his large frame. "No.. Don't say thank you.. You deserve it Astha..." And other stood hugging each other for no one knows how long. Shlok broke their long hugging session... Moved back.. And went on his knees. Astha was shocked.. What is he doing... Is he..?
Shlok pulled out a small box from his pocket and said. " Astha... I don't know when did all this happen... You suddenly came, and changed my life... Thank you... You went through hell with me whevpn I treated you like a piece of furniture... I'm sorry... You still stayed with me, unlike some who would leave... Thank you... You filled my colorless life with your colors... Thank you... You came into my life and helped me... Thank you... And I don't know when, how or what happened to me... But I'm in love with you... Since I don't know when... But I surely know I am... So, Mrs. Astha Shlok Agnihotri, do you mind being my wife all over again?" He said while opening the ring box with tears eyes and a genuine smile.
Butterflies, and all the possible animals were in her stomach at the moment. The tears from her eyes were flowing like an open dam. She didn't even take a second to think... And just replied a small yes... And she put her hand out, and Shlok slid the ring in her finger.
Shlok could jump around and scream with happiness and joy he felt that moment. Astha made Shlok stand... And gave him a small kiss on his cheek and hugged him once again. "Thank you so much... Thank you very very much" she said crying. "Don't Astha... I'm not going to let you cry ever after this. Your life will be filled with happiness, joy, and bollywood music of course" he giggled. She laughed and looked at him. Shlok kissed her forehead, and looked into her eyes, to see what's there, but found nothing but love. Love for him. Only. And Astha did the same to find nothing but love and respect for herself. Only for her.
"I love you.. Do you know that?". He was shocked, surprised, happy... Everything.. He couldn't believe his ears. He just hugged her tight. Few moments later Astha realized that no one was in the restaurant. She broke the hug and went looking around, and found no one. " Shlok... Where is everyone?"
He just looked at her and asked "what do you think?". And realization dawned her. "You booked the whole restaurant? SERIOUSLY?! Oh my god oh my god oh my god!" She said running towards and jumping and hugging him! "OMG.. Thank you so much! Eee!" Shlok couldn't help but give her a little peck on the cheek.
The rest of the evening was the best one he had ever had after one whole year! And Astha couldn't help but keep smiling...
After the dinner, Shlok asked her "One Two Three Four, Get On The Dance Floor?" And winked. She burst out laughing and agreed to him. They both went on the dance floor, happiness, and only love surrounding them. Nothing else.
