ARNAV RAIZADA

I stood in my position looking at Manav and Khushi trying to get everything together, I tapped on the mic to make sure it was working because Manav had forced me to sing for his proposal, I didn't even know I could sing, but it was okay, I was more than happy to sing for Manav and Anjali.

Ansh was supposed to be here anytime with Anjali, and so we had to make sure everything was perfect before she arrived, it was something extravaganza, but it was definitely beautiful, I couldn't wait to see how happy she was going to be.

I knew she had been secretly waiting for Manav to propose her, she has been planning her dream wedding in her journal for ages now and finally it was going to happen.

I looked at my Bindiya, looking her beautiful self, today she was dressed in a baby blue Patiala and mannnn, did that color look good on her. I just smiled as I stared at her, she was so busy and so oblivious of how gorgeous she looked to my eyes.

For a moment here, I couldn't even believe she was with me, how did I get so lucky? Suddenly she looked at me and smiled and then looked away, oh that smile was going to kill me one day.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, I pulled it out and found a text message from Ansh.

"On our way. Be there in ten."

"Hey guys, Ansh and Anjali have left from home, they'll be here in like ten minutes, you ready?" I spoke on the mic so they could hear me.

Manav gave me a thumbs up and then looked at Khushi who said something to him so he nodded and walked away while she finished up whatever she was doing and then walked aside too.

A few minutes later, another message popped up from Ansh, telling me they were already here, I don't even know why but suddenly I was nervous and I wasn't even the one proposing.

I had to start singing as soon as Anjali walked in, and Manav was going to do the rest, I looked at Khushi who was standing a bit further from me smiling happily, she was so excited about this proposal, it was cute.

A few moments later, we saw Anjali walk in, she seemed a bit confused as she looked around at the decorations we had done, I started singing and she looked at me, I was sure she was wondering why I was singing, we had made sure she had no idea whatsoever about this proposal until now where she might be finally getting an idea.

Khushi gestured to her to keep walking so she continued walking until she was in the middle, she stopped as Khushi pulled a string through which she was showered the flower petals, Anjali smiled and twirled around happily as Manav finally walked towards her.

Yun to teri mehfil main, oh maahi.. kitni dafa hum hai aaye...
Haan tu hi ha tujhse hi hua hai, ishq tujhe yeh bataye...

Tujhse hi karun gallan dil di sachiyan... tere hi liye bandh dora pakkiyan...
Chhadeya main jag sara, chaddi duniya... maahi teri yaarian na honi kachiyan...

Mere liye tu hai mere... mere liye... main hoon tera...

Manav went down on his knees while Anjali just stood there in surprise, he opened up the box with the ring and held it out to her, he said something to her which I couldn't hear because I was too busy singing and just looking at my Bindiya who was looking at Anjali and Manav and just admiring them.

She had these expressions on her face that I couldn't even explain in words but they were beautiful, it was like falling in love with her all over again, every time I looked at her, I fell over and over again.

Anjali nodded as she held out her hand while Manav slid the ring on her finger and both Ansh and Khushi clapped for them happily while they shared a hug, I just looked at Khushi while I continued singing and finally she looked at me.

Right now, I was singing for her, it was like the lyrics were meant for me to sing them for her you know? I hoped she knew that because there was no other way I could tell her how much I loved her.

Manav had picked such a beautiful song for the proposal, I mean the lyrics were just so self-explanatory and so beautiful

Koi bhi le imtihaan, chahe lele meri jaan... jane anjane tu kabhi na chodna..
Roklu saans bhi, waqt kya cheez hai... saamne hi rehna, dil kabhi na todna...

Khudko tujhe saunp ke vaada kariliya... ranjha banke ishq thoda zyada karliya...
Honton se nahi... tere dil se naata hai... haal jo mera puchle, mera din banjata hai...

Mere liye tu hai mera... mere liye... main hoon tera..

I placed the mic aside one I was done singing as I walked towards Khushi, I stopped beside her and put my arm around her waist pulling her closer.

"Someday in the future, this is going to be us." I smirked at her.

"I would love to think about that." She giggled and then we both looked at Manav and Anjali again, they were now just talking about something so we left them alone and walked away, picked a spot and sat down.

"It was beautiful wasn't it?" Khushi smiled at me.

"It really was, the set-up, the planning, the execution, even the song." I smiled.

"You sing so beautifully, for a while there I was mesmerized by you."

"And I, by you." I smiled as I leaned in to kiss her, I wasn't expecting her to let me kiss her, especially out here with my friends around, she seemed kind of shy but she didn't stop me, she let me kiss her and she kissed me back too.

I guess watching Manav and Anjali's proposal just made us feel all those feelings you know, like you just feel so much in love with your partner just because you see two people being so much in love and you remember you also have something like that?

I don't know if anyone has ever felt that or not but I have...

After we pulled apart from the kiss, she blushed as she looked down at the floor without saying anything so I too decided to stay silent, I just grabbed her hand and held it while we both sat there silently.

I looked around for a moment trying to spot Anjali and Manav or even Ansh but I couldn't see any of them, I looked back at Khushi and found her smiling.

"What's making you smile so much?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"Oh come on, tell me, there must be something."

"It's just that after my last relationship, I got too scared of being in a relationship and always imagined the worst, even when I agreed to be with you, deep down I was a bit worried that things might go just like it did before...

But now, after all this time, I finally realized I was so wrong to be worried and I am really glad that I decided to give us a shot, I wouldn't have been this happy if I kept on being scared of relationships.

You've shown me what a true relationship should be like... I know we are just starting out but I am so happy than I ever was and I just can't stop smiling because every time I look at you I just feel something inside me that makes me want to smiling continuously."

"Aww, that's sweet."

"Hey guys, it's our day today, stop with your romance." Manav said as him and Anjali walked towards us holding hands.

"Shut up." I said as Khushi and I both stood up while we laughed all together.

"Where is Ansh?"

"He went to use the restroom, he said we wait for him in the car, are you guys ready for dinner?" Manav asked.

"Dinner?" Anjali looked at him in confusion.

"Yeah, we booked a place for dinner, just us to celebrate our engagement." Manav smiled at her.

"I can't believe you're engaged." I said as I pulled her into a tight hug. I was happy for her, but her being engaged also meant that she would get married soon and go live with Manav and I was going to miss her so much.

"I know neither can I." She smiled happily.

"Anyway we should get going." Manav said so we all nodded and started heading towards the parking lot, while walking, Khushi slid her hand into mine and held it, as soon as she did that I looked at her.

"Your one sided love isn't always going to be one sided, one day it will be two sided." She whispered.

"I hope it's soon."

"I hope so too." She giggled.
