Naira looks at him.
"Huh did you say something mendak? " she said rubbing his waist.
He clicked his tongue.
"ek second jaan my phone is ringing"  She nodded and he left,
'Good she has no idea it was for her the surprise isn't ruined' he was relieved for that one thing. he quickly dialled the number.
"What's this you messed it up, you know how much money I paid for that sign it is suppose to say..
Naira was waiting for him.. he came back after a few minutes.
"Kartik sab kuch theekh haina?" she had a worried look. He cupped her chin.
"Sab kuch theekh hojayega"
"Kya matlab" she asked puzzled..
"aree nothing jaan"  he came and hugged her from the back. She smiled and held his arms that were around her. "aww yeh dekho" she saw something in the air.
"Will you marry me jaan?" She read out loud and smiled then the realisation hit her.
"Will you marry?.."  she turned and saw him on one knee
"Me jaan?" He finished her sentence, she looked at him and again at that banner.
" you did this, this proposal" she could feel her eyes well up. He nodded.
"Wait that means the first sign was for..
"For you only" he held her hand. She was still in shock.
"Naira my sweetheart, my jaan"  Naira's teared started to form.
"my baby, my world, my Kittu's mumma, the love of my life will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" now tears fell, her Kartik the love of her life her everything was proposing marriage to her.
"yes, yes, yes of course my life, my love" he grinned hearing her and slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand, She held his hand making him stand up and they cupped each others faces, and kissed passionately and then hugged tightly.
"I love you jaan I love you so much"
"I love love love you baby" she said tightening her grip on him. He broke the hug and wiped her happy tears, she did the same to him as he'd also been crying too, as both are emotional souls. He kissed her temple, then they both thanked the violinist and she left them to it.
She looked at the giant rock on her finger.
" do you like it?" She nodded
" its beautiful but can i say something, and promise me you won't get angry?"
" I can never be angry with you say, without hesitation."
"This is beautiful.." but this" she held the ring on her chain. "This is a family heirloom your nani's ring and I can't part with it I love it,  and Kar.. she was cut off by his lips on hers.
"You are amazing jaan, you care so much about my family even I love my nani's ring." He hugged her and they decided to make that the wedding band.
The sun was setting, they kicked their shoes off, and walked hand in hand to the beach near the water.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck, the water made their feet wet. She let out a delightful squeal. He chuckled in her ear, and kissed her cheek.
" tum khush hona?" She smiled with a full smile.
"Bahut bahut khush hu" she caressed his cheek.
"I have a fiance" she giggled expressing her glee . He smiled turning her to face him, and held her by the waist. she looped his neck smiling,
"Offo my dress is getting wet"  she pouted
"We can't have that" he lifted her up so is standing on his feet.
"I love you miss fiance" he said
"I love you Mr fiance" she responded, and they kissed.

"Oh your being serious babes?" She nodded.

"Hmm I know, have you expressed this to him?" She shook her head.
" no I'm I.. I don't want to push it, it's fine I'm so happy we are engaged."  Kartik heard everything and he was thrilled by his decision, he quickly made some phone calls, then went to check on Kittu. He then came downstairs and came to the main room.
"All set for tomorrow?" Asked Piya
"Shh wait Is she?" He said seeing his Naira.
"yes she just dozed off"
"So tomorrow?"
" hmm actually let's speak out there, just incase she isn't fully asleep it will ruin her surprise"

"I've booked the room for her at 1pm, you can collect them from here, and meet us there?"
"Yes little bro, it will be epic"
"I sure hope so.." he waved Piya off. Then walked back to the main area, she was in deep sleep, he smiled at her angelic face. He leaned down and carried her up bridal style. "Come on jaan time for bed" he took her up the stairs and she leaned into him, he gently placed her in the bed.
"love you mendak" she said in a sleepy tone. he smiled at her comment. He leaned down "love you more" he placed a kiss on her temple, and got into the bed, within a few seconds and this was a sweet feeling when she stretched her arm out and rested it across his chest, he held her frame in his arms, letting her rest her head on his chest it was a sweet picture.
