Bhoomi and Varun met quite often,he never made her feel that they were meeting for alliance. He maintained a friendly approach. Varun had started developing strong feelings and was waiting for one chance to confess. Varun learned that Bhoomi was very well read, she had vast knowledge on many topics. Yet she was down to earth, she loved street food. Varun knew one thing Bhoomi was a strong girl and the exactly one he wanted . She sometimes would give him suggestions regarding his business and he would just gape at her admiring her intelligence. Situations which Varun would handled with aggression, Bhoomi would solve issue in a more subtle way.  

It was Sunday and Varun had gone to  his parents place. While having his breakfast with his family he looked at his family  once then cleared his throat. Diljit smiled; ''spit it out...youare  like as if sitting on a hot plate'' His Mom and Granny laughed

Varun; ''I have found my life partner....her name is Bhoomi ''

Karuna smiled wide; ''How does she look??? what does she do??? where is she from??? her family ??? When are you bringing her home?

Varun; ''Mom why didn't you try of investigating service . I haven't proposed her yet... I am nervous. I am planning to propose her in a grand way''

Varun's Granny looked through her glasses; ''Varun, son if you are sure. Just speak your heart , you don't need a big grand arrangement to let her know your heart . Just take her to her favourite place and open your feeling to her then let her decide ''

Varun; ''What if she says  No''

Karuna; ''Then make her believe and bring her home . we will help'' Varun nodded and messaged Bhoomi , asking her out in evening'' 

Evening

Varun took Bhoomi to her favourite beach . He bought 2 cones , strolling near the waves. Varun took 2 steps ahead and stood infront of Bhoomi she smiled, Varun licked his cone walking backwards he stopped making Bhoomi halt her steps; ''what ???''

Varun took a look at her face,he took a deep breath; ''Ok here it is, Bhoomi I am in love with you...and want to spend my life with you''

Bhoomi's smile vanished , she wiped her forehead once ; ''Varun..why???''

Varun; ''Why???? Bhoomi because I like you ...want to marry you''

Bhoomi; ''I can't''

Varun; ''why???''

Bhoomi; ''Because you will get bored and hate what you like right now and don't say no because this happens every time. They like me first and then  there is something missing in me. Varun we are good friends and I don't want to go through another rejection it hurts ....there have been guys I liked , I saw a perfect partner in them. But they rejected me in most harsh possible way. I can't do it again Varun....I am sorry''

Varun took her hand between his palms; ''you know I want to say sorry on behalf of all those guys...or you can say I am apologising to girls I rejected. But Bhoomi we all are humans...scared of one thing or the other . May be your perfection or their imperfection scared them...before proposing you even I was scared...more than ever I have been in my life. But having a fear should not come in the way of our life...we should never stop taking chances...so take this one  . Come and meet my family'' 

Bhoomi looked a Varun's smiling face, something about him pushed her heart to  believe him and she accepted.

Bhoomi was more nervous than ever after reaching Varun's place, she knew he was rich. But didn't knew he was one whose family was in the list. She was greeted with open arms by Varun's family. Bhoomi was in an awe...his Mom Karuna was a graceful lady, she must have been a beauty in her bloom years. His granny was a lady with an open mind. And Diljiet was the most funny loving guy, he gave his son independence to make his own name. His family never questioned Bhoomi on her skills of cooking, singing and all. They greeted her like Varun's any other friend discussing normal things with her...Bhoomi loved them. Bust instead for clearing her confusion it aggravated it. Varun dropped Bhoomi home , she asked him some time to give him and answer.

Bhoomi couldn't sleep that night, her heart pushed her to accept his proposal but her head threw more questions and doubts. He is richer than her family by many folds, his mom and granny were so graceful and Varun must be expecting someone like them. Bhoomi's mind started degrading her...she pulled her hair and dialled her Brother. Brijesh was the only one who would give her the right answer. 

Brijesh smiled looking at her no. ;''yes darling'' Bhoomi narrated all about Varun his family and her doubts ..Brijesh smiled and asked; ''you like him...don't you''

Bhoomi replied after a pause; ''yes...but''

Brijesh; ''Bhoomi....but kills all possibility of getting positive results . Bhoomi in business we believe in taking risk even if there are 50 percent chances ...we do this because we know if we succeed  we will earn and if we fail we will know our flaws you don't get answers unless you take a chance...Bhoomi life is a one time business...we are suppose to take chances . Has your heart  ever been this confused about any guy''

Bhoomi; ''No''

Brijesh; ''then go and say yes...you will know ''

Bhoomi; ''I am scared''

Brijesh; ''we all are....but if you don't you might lose a good chance...got my point''  Bhoomi thought for a moment and messaged a yes to Varun. without waiting for his response. She turned her cell on silent jumped on bed and covered her face...after twisting and turning for few hours she checked her phone. Bhoomi's face fell she walked to her bed with heavy feet . Now she feared of losing him

Morning Bhoomi woke with a headache, she got ready and gulped a tablet. She was only thinking about one ..Varun, she felt the pain of rejection again...difference was the intensity this time was more. As she walked out of her apartment complex....her feet got glued to a place looking at the view infront of her. Varun stood there leaning on his car with a big bouquet of red roses. Bhoomi's legs did not wait for her brain to command , she walked to him like a robot. ''When did you come''

Varun; ''An hour after I saw your message''

Bhoomi; ''Why didn't you call''

Varun ; ''Wanted you to have your beauty sleep, plus I knew you would have turned your mobile off or on silent ...all worried and nervous. So thought let me see you in morning''

Bhoomi blinked, he knew her so well. Varun extended the the bouquet and Bhoomi took it...Varun gave her a handsome smile; ''Marry me....'' He opened his arms Bhoomi had no confusion left in her. She walked into his arms leaving giving herself to him...Varun lifted her  once making her squeal...

After a month

Jaya and Arun were  on the moon, their rejected one was getting settled with someone they had never dreamed off. Brijesh was took happy for his little sister and Avini kept on suggesting Bhoomi  on how to keep husbands interest alive. Bhoomi had left all her inhibition , she was herself involved in her marriage preparation...she wanted to make her big day to be the best.

Bhoomi Varun exchanged rings in presence of their parents and other guests , after photo shoot and greeting the guests. Varun took Bhoomi out , away from everyone...he pulled her close; ''Thanks ....that day when I proposed you, and you left without answering . I couldn't sleep...and when you said yes....I lost all sleep due to happiness''

Bhoomi smiled; ''me too''

Varun; ''Bhoomi ...you feared being imperfect and I know I am not perfect. So lets make 2 negatives into the biggest positive of our life'' Bhoomi looped her arms around his waist hugging him tight; ''I love you Bhoomi''

Bhoomi giggled; ''and I love you  Varun....a lot'' Varun kissed Bhoomi's cheek deep as she didn't wanted her make up to get spoiled..Holding their hands ,Bhoomi Varun made their way to the hall and to the life ....ready to live all the imperfections.
