Varun's POV

I am waiting for Preeti.I couldn't wait to see her face.What if she is still angry with me?She will throw away my ring into a dustbin.I chocked at the thought.

Preeti loves me so much.It's my foolishness to think like that.I took a deep breathe and averted my gaze.My eyes are glued to the door.I am counting seconds.Finally she came,she came in a sky blue colour saree.I couldn't take my eyes off her.

When ever I see her in a saree,my heart skips it beat for a second.I smiled at my thought and looked at her.She came to me and stood in front of me with a tantalizing smile on her lips.

I stood up and kissed her knuckles.She blushed a bit and sat there chuckling gazing away.

"Preeti" I sighed,I truly don't know what to say,I am literally out of words.

"Varun,Varun" Preeti snapped her fingers of my face and waved her hand dragging me out of my thoughts.

"What?!"I looked around and saw Preeti laughing at my expression.

"Varun,Are you okay?!"Preeti asked me and I looked at my angel blushing a bit. Strange!

She looked equally tensed as me.But why is she so tensed?!I don't know why?

"Yes,I am fine"I smiled goofily.

"Do you want to say anything?!" She peeped into my face and asked me curiously.

"Yes!"I nodded and pursed my lips.

"Anything serious?!"Her ecstatic face started showing sulky expressions.

"No,No...No...Nothing like that"I nodded my head fervently.

"Thank god,I thought you are planning some string operation"She sighed.

"Ahh...No...No nothing like that"I nagged

"I want to Pro......"I stopped.

"What do you want Varun?!"She looked at me sheepishly raising her eyebrow.

"I want to propose you"I blurted making her pout.

Her pout made me choke.

I drank a glass of water fully.

Why I am feeling so nervous. 

I am not a teenager,I am a grown up man.I mustered my courage and looked into her eyes.

They are conveying so many emotions.

They are eagerly waiting for my words.

I smiled at her and sat on my knees.

She smiled back nervously.

"Preeti,I love you"I looked into her eyes.

They are startling like stars.

"I don't know when I started loving you but as far I know from the day one you were born.We grew up together and I always felt a strong attraction towards you all the time,but my ego stopped my heart."I looked at her,She is looking at me face palming.

Her eyes are filled with happy tears.

She smiled a bit and I continued.

"I was a fool, I didn't confess my feelings.I was so worried and I literally ran away from you."I kept a sulky face.She ruffled my hair pinching my cheek.

"But you know my heart couldn't stop asking you,your smile.I masked my feelings,I prioritised my goal and  finally one day I achieved my goal."

"I was happy,no I was pretending to be happy and proud in front of my family"I paused and looked at her and clasped her hand sighing.

"Yet a part of me is always incomplete.It missed your smile,your mischief." I kissed her hand and wiped her tears.

She nodded and smiled with teary eyes.

"I looked around and there were no one to praise me,my achievement.I started wondering where is that pair of eyes always praised me for my very small accomplishments.Where is that girl who used to wait a whole day for my lame,silly smile."She slapped my cheek.

"How dare you to call it silly?!"She pinched my cheek and I laughed a little a bit.

I felt a bit calm, her touch and smile are so soothening.

"I started realising my mistake slowly.I left her brutally breaking her heart into million pieces." I lifted my eyes and looked into her eyes with guilt.I saw her wiping her tears.

"You came back so suddenly,like a drizzle, like a breeze.This time I don't want to miss her.I don't want to miss her again." I nodded my head for which she smiled happily.

"Varun" She made me stand up and hugged me

I embraced my arms around her instantly and whispered in her ear.

"Preeti, Will you marry me?!"

"Varun"She released herself from my warm hug and smiled and me nodding shyly.

"Please Preeti,Say something"I pouted.

"Yes!"She nodded again blushing and looking away.

"Thank you so much"I took her into my arms and whirled her few rounds.

"Varun,Get me down"She yelled frantically,drama queen.

"No!"I nodded snuggling my nose with her.

"Please"She asked placing her hand on my cheek.

"Okay!"I nodded and got her down.

"Why did you take so long to say these three words?!"She slapped me twice on cheek playfully.

My devil is back again....

"I already told you I am a fool,I fought a long time with my heart"I smiled.

"But why now?!A day before our engagement?!"she asked flashing her eye lashes in a disbelief.

"I want to make this day memorable for you, for us."I confessed.

"I love you"She placed a peck on my lips.

"I love you too"I made it into a passionate kiss.

Days passed finally and we got married with our elders blessings.

Life was never easy for us both.My profession was never a quiet one unlike her.

It treasured a series of puzzles in my name but every riddle and every puzzle became very easy for me because of my Preeti's prenece in my life. She became my constant motivational force.

She is a wonderful human being.She is a responsible daughter,a dutiful daughter in law, a lovable wife and beyond all She is a great mother.

Yes,she gave me the most beautiful gift,my son Aayan.

I am really lucky to have her in my life, My Preeti, my wife.

............The end...............
