Vihaan POV:

My family accepted her . . . I am so happy !! Its time that I should tell her my feelings but what if she rejects me? You are Vihaan Rajneesh no one can reject you, my brain argued. She has every right to reject you my heart doubted. So I decided to know her feelings first then I will propose her. 

As promised I made plans to make Shikha meet my family. Now here I am with my sisters, best friends and my brother too. I got surprised when he too joined us while I invited him just as a formality. "Its great to see you both together. I am happy that Vihaan accepted your love" Shikha said to Raunak who is holding Neethi's hand. I could not take my gaze away from Shikha, even though she caught me staring at her I did not look away. 

"Bro! Stop eating her with your eyes. It will be embarrassing for her" Preeti warned me. "I am not eating, I am admiring and loving her" I said with a smirk to which Kaira and Preeti giggled. "Arjun!!" hearing it from Raunak I averted my eyes. "Hello Arjun! Good to see you" I greeted him politely. What is he doing here!! Shikha made him sit beside the empty chair next to her. "Sorry I came here without invitation" Arjun said feeling uncomfortable. 

"You are also part of our group, so please make yourself comfortable" Preeti said in pleasing tone. "I just came to inform something to Raunak and Deepu" he said. "Deepu?" Neethi asked. "Thats me, Arjun calls me Deepu. Its his right" Shikha said smiling and Arjun ruffled her hair. Their PDA will kill me one day . . "I have urgent work so you people handle things" he instructed. "When are you leaving?" Raunak asked. "Now! I called you both but I think signals are weak here" Arjun answered.

"You are leaving again! When will you be back?" Shikha asked like a small child. At that moment I wanted to hug her, may be my daughter will also do the same in future. I smiled looking at her. "In a week. Now cheer up, I cannot leave if you are sad like this" Arjun said pulling her cheeks and she smiled. "Take care and do not skip food. Do not dare to forget calling me" Shikha warned and Arjun shook his head. "Not able to bear her!! That is my D" Abhay said and Shikha punched him. 

She is between the two people whom I envy the most. What is it with this Abhay . . he teases Shikha and calls her D!! Strange!! "Do not worry about office, Raunak Sir and I will do our job" Shikha assured. "Sir?" Arjun raised his eyebrow. "He is my boss so I should respect him" Shikha mumbled. "You can call him with his name. No one is your boss, not even me. Do you get that" Arjun shouted in his authoritative tone making all of us shocked. 

"Yes I do" Shikha answered and Arjun kissed on her head. "See you all, enjoy" he said to all of us and left. "I told you not to call me like that, Now see Arjun shouted on you" Raunak whined. "Leave that, Lets play game now" Kaira suggested. All of us finalized Truth or Dare . . . Game was going good and now its Shikha's turn. "Dare" Shikha said confidently but I cursed her choice. Neethi is opposite to her and she is famous for torturing others with her challenges.

"Kiss my brother" Neethi said making Shikha gasp. I felt happy but did not show it. Neethi winked at me and I gave her a small smile, this devil cares so much for me. I looked at Shikha who is battling her thoughts . . . "Common! Fast" Neethi insisted. Shikha gave a broad smile and nodded. If we think we are smart then its wrong till we find the smartest. Yes!! I thought Neethi is smart but forgot Shikha is a step ahead of her. "Abhay! May I have your hand" Shikha asked and immediately he offered his hand. She kissed on his knuckles and he blushed. 

Why should I bear this torture? I glared at Neethi for her stupidity, she forgot even Abhay is here and even he is her brother. "I thought you will kiss on cheek" Kaira commented. "If you want I will do that too" saying this Shikha kissed his cheek making me bang the table. "Do not worry bro, She is my friend from childhood. So she kissed me, Just think how awkward it will be for her to kiss someone randomly" Abhay said and I realised what he said is true.  I forgot even her brother Aditya and her boss Raunak are here. How can she kiss me? But she kissed Abhay!! 

"Shall we leave now?" Shikha asked Aditya and its evident on her face hat she does not want to stay here. "We are getting late, Bye" Adi said and they left us. "I am sorry, I forgot even Abhay bro is here" Neethi said. "You should not do things like these" Abhay said and left in frustration. "I will talk to him" Preeti went after him. Raunak started consoling Neethi who is crying now. I sat holding my head thinking what to do. . ."You should confess your feeling to her" Kaira suggested. "I am scared" I said her the truth. "Unless you say how will she know? She should know it  . . Even I too felt the same before confessing my feelings to you. I think she too likes you" Kaira said making me think. My best friend always guides me properly . . .

Deepshikha POV:

Everyday morning I wake up cursing my alarm but today its a phone call, the name flashed on the screen made me sit immediately. "Good Morning!!" his voice sounded like a wake up song. "Good morning RV!" I said closing my eyes. "Get ready soon I will pick you in one hour" he ordered. First he disturbs my sleep on weekend and now ordering me to come out . . I feel like hitting him hard. "No excuses please" he said before I could say something.

With no option left I got ready and he came exactly in one hour. "Someone is punctual like me" I said proudly . . "That I am, now dont waste time and come fast" he said. No one can argue with him or even if we do we cant win, may be that is why he is the great Vihaan Rajneesh. After a long drive we reached some place and my eyes were delighted at the view.

There is a small white hut shape space with a table and two chairs, greenery around and view of blue sea which added more beauty. We sat there silently and only crashing of waves audible to us. It gave me so much peace making me forget everything, "Liked it?" Vihaan asked. "More than what you can imagine" I answered genuinely. He took my hand and made me stand, then he went one knee. My eyes went wide seeing him . . 

"Will you marry me Shikha?" he asked lovingly making me shocked. Yes! I am shocked and there are two reasons for that. First - I expected I love you but not what he said and Second - the great Vihaan Rajneesh who never bends for anyone is on one knee for me!!  

"Are you sure?" I asked making him stand, "Why are you asking me like that? Dont you trust me?" he asked in hurt voice. "Its not like that RV! You directly proposed me for marriage . . So I am just shocked" I explained.  "I love you so much that I cannot loose you. For me marriage is the biggest commitment and I promise you that I will love till last breath of my life" he said with so much passion that my heart stopped for a second.

"You do not know anything about me RV! As of now I cannot tell you about my past. So when you completely know about me then we will think about this" I said not facing him. He made me look at him and held my shoulders . . 

"Do you love someone?" he asked and I nodded no.

"Any affairs, attraction, commitments .. or anything like that" . . again its no from me.

"Will your past affect our future in anyway?" he asked and I started thinking. This is an important question and I have to get answer for myself too. After proper thinking I answered him. "No RV! It will not have any negative effect" I answered. "Then!! Its sorted right?" he said and I smiled thinking he made it so easy which I was making complicated. "Even your parents do not have any problem, my mom went to your home" he said winking at me making my jaw drop.

"How are you so sure that I will not reject you? You even sent your mom for proposal" I asked crossing my hands against my chest. "hmm . .I know that. Even if you say no .. my love would have shown its charm on you" he said and I gave my best smile. "I am impressed with your answer, I thought you will say I am Vihaan Rajneesh and no one can reject me" I said mimicking him. "Actually I thought of doing that but my heart did not allow me to say so" he said smiling.

"So?" he said expecting some answer from me. "I cannot say that I love you as I seriously do not feel it. But I like you" I said and I saw he is hurt. "Its ok, I can understand" he mumbled. "We will get married only after I share my past with you, meanwhile lets fall for each other" I said but he did not react. After sometime he understood my words and hugged me. "You scared me idiot! I love you so much" he said reflecting his happiness.

"I already fell for you so its your turn to fall" he corrected me. "Still you can fall for me! Cant you?" I asked raising my eyebrows. "Can can" he said and we both laughed.
