40) Fated

Yamini Pov

"How about 70-30?" Lucas Melcome asked me. He's just another CEO present in the international business meet.

I heard his company is holding quite a good position in the Italy and US market since a few years. It's his ancestoral company but he took over it since he's the only child. He's done a lot of improvement. I had to study about the people who are attending the party so that I'm not clueless. He's already had a contract with Shayam a couple of times and it's quiet profitable. But this time the profit might take time since the idea he's proposing might take time. In business you can't wait for as long as 3 years to get a benefit of the investment. It's not a good idea. I have to avoid him.

"Umm..I'll have a talk about it to Shayam once I'm back there. I'll connect you with him if he's interested in the deal" I said. Though I'm hundred percent sure Shayam is no way gonna consider it. This is the way to tackle these business minds. It's very easy to be in rival with someone. You never know with whom they have a secret contact and when they'll back stab you. So it's good to just bite your teeth and smile at their monkey faces.

"Oh! I'm sure he'll never decline my offer. Actually no one can" he smirked at me. I know what this idiot is aiming at. I'm not that dumb not to figure out what he wants.

"Oh! I'll make sure he contacts you then" I smiled at him. A fake one.

"Then cheers for our future deal" he said.  The business meeting was successful and the deal which was important for the company is done. I met a few important people who was impressed by my work. I'm glad they are willing to help me. Now I'm in the after party just chilling around.

I saw Lucas picking up two drinks from the waiter and passed me one. I smiled and took it from him.

"Cheers"

We clicked our glass and I took a sip. I can feel the alcohol burning my throat as it slide down to my stomach. I'm not a regular drinker. I can't skip it in such parties.

Suddenly I started missing Arjun very much. I remembered the nightmare which shook my soul. I saw him leaving me and never coming back again. I screamed out loud and woke up to see sweat beads in my forehead. I calmed down after talking to him. I literally can't imagine my life without him now. These two years were the best time of my life. He completes me in every way. I miss him now.

"Up for another one?" I came back to reality to see Lucas pointing at the drinks section. I didn't want to drink but I know if I don't get my head loose I'll again have that insecurity in my mind. I hate that.

I nodded and he lead me to the drinks table.

"Shots please"

The bartender places five shots for each of us. I finished it in no time.

"Wow! What's with the hurry?" He chuckled. I payed no attention to him and asked the bartender to refill the shots. Suddenly my phone rang and it's Vivan.

"Excuse me please" I said in a drunk tone. Going to a corner of the room, I attended the call.

"Hi!" I giggled. Alcohol effects.

"Hey Yami! Where are you?" He asked.

"I'm at ...I'm at ...a ..a bar..." I stammered.

"Oh shut! Are you drunk?" He asked and I giggled at his panicked voice.

"Yes" I grinned.

"Oh shit! Yamini why are you at the bar now? Isn't it too early for a drink?" He asked.

"It's an after party" I said stammering. Suddenly my head started to spin again. I wanted to drink again.

"Talk to you later, I have to drink and get drunk now" I ended the call. Going to the bar counter.

Lucas grinned seeing me again. Gulping down the shots, my head felt light. I felt Lucas leaning close to me. My head started spinning and I found my body getting out of control. I loved this feeling.

"Will you go on a date with me tomorrow beautiful?" He said. Before I could reply, someone else spoke.

"In your next birth" that's when I blacked out.

"Morning beautiful" my eyes widened to see Arjun sitting on the bed side shirtless, holding a pill and a glass of water. Ignoring my pounding headache, I pounced on him, hugging him tightly. He put the glass on the table and hugged me back slipping his arms to my waist.

I shifted myself to his lap once he's on the bed. He made me have the pill. I pushed him on the bed and I curled to him, clinging to him like a koala.

"Baby, get up" he said.

"I miss you" he chuckled and kissed my head. I snuggled close to him chest.

"I missed you too. So much until I'm done holding it back" That made me smile.

"I love you. You never fail to make me happy" I said. He pulled me closer if that's possible.

"That's my job beautiful" he kissed my head. After our make out session, we got ready. I was so excited when he told me we are going to spend two more days here for sight seeing. We got ready and went to Disneyland.

"Wow! I want to go in each and every ride" I squealed seeing how cool the place is.

"Sure babe. But first let's get something to eat" he said. We went to a hot dog shop and ordered our food. After eating, we went around and got into every ride. It's almost four hours since we arrived here and it's so exciting.

Finally we came to the roller coaster ride. I am always thrilled about it. When I was about to go I the entrance, Arjun held my hand.

"Babe" he called me suddenly.

"Hhuh?" He seemed very nervous suddenly. He pointed his head to my left and I turned to find the people sitting on the roller coaster ride holding chart.

My eyes widened and immediately my hands went to cover my mouth. Tears started appearing in my eyes seeing the banner. It says..

Will you marry me, Yamini?

I turned to see Arjun who already knelt down with a black velvet box in his hands. I was speachless. Is he proposing me here?!

"It's been almost two years since we were in a relationship and I don't need any more time to know you're the one for me. You have always been there for me and never left my side even though I hurted you a lot in the beginning. It's so funny to think we were already arranged to be married.

You have always filled me with happiness and I know my life without you is nothing. So I don't want to let that happen. I don't want us to be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. I want to take our relationship to the next level. I'm officially asking you to give me your hand forever. I promise to protect you and love you unconditionally. I love you for not only what you are but for also what I am with you.

So Yamini, will you marry me? Will you make me the happiest man alive?" He asked.

He opened the box revealing the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. My eyes filled with tears. The people around started squealing and I'm damn speachless right now.

"Yes! Yes!" I squealed and he smiled widely. He stood up and slipped the ring to my ring finger. Pulling me close, he hugged me tight and kissed me passionately. The people around started cheering us and I can't believe this just happened.

"You make me so happy" I said in-between the kiss.

"I love you babe" he kissed me more.

"My dad will kill you if he comes to know about it" I said and he chuckled.

He pointed his index finger to the left and I turned there to find all our friends, his parents as well as mine. Our friends were grinning and cheering for us. His parents has tears in their eyes and my mom was jumping too. My dad had that drown in his face. Walking to him, I hugged him. I know he's not ready to let me go. Though Arjun proved that he loves me so much, it doesn't make him forget the past completely.

"I'm going to kill him" my dad gritted his teeth. I chuckled.

"You know that he loves me dad" he nodded his head reluctantly. Soon mom and his parents gathered and started congratulating me while teasing my dad.

"Can I get a kiss?" Arjun suddenly asked, slipping his hand to my waist.

"Do you have a death wish?" My dad hissed and all of us chuckled.

"I loved it! Thank you" I hugged him and he kissed my head.

"Now I won't go anywhere leaving you" he pecked my lips.

"I too have something for you" I removed my phone and showed it to him.

"No way!" He was too shocked.

Yes, it's Arjun's company shares and all the money that Shruti stole from him and took away. We planned to go to the court but before that she met me personally and begged me not to sue her. I threatened her to return back the money and get lost somewhere else. She agreed and yes!

"You're the best" he picked me in his arms and swirled me around. I giggled.

I can't believe I'm marrying the same man from whom I ran away in the wedding.

"You're fated to fall in love with me" he grinned.

"I'm fated to fall in love with you"

The End
