After we got into the kitchen, Aarav quickly told me all the things that were to be taken. And I quickly searched for them and in a matter of 10 minutes, we were ready.

"So that's it I guess. And I really hope this headache stops soon." I told Aarav.

"Yup, I also think that this is enough, and don't worry you will feel better, okay." He said kissing my head.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too. But now we should go out, or else we are dead." Aarav joked.

"Yeah, let's go." I said and we made our way to others.

"Thank God you guys are out. We should start our journey now. Or else it will get dark." Vivan said.

"Yup, let's go. But I have a doubt, how will we all adjust in one car ?" Sid asked.

"About that, me, Ishu and Grace, we will come in my car, and you four can come in yours." Vivan told us.

"Fine then, let's go." Sid said and we made our way to the cars and took our seats, and started out journey.

As we were not having much time, we visited only a couple of sights.

When we were at Green Valley, we parted our ways, Gracy and Ishu decided that they would rest in the car, and Vivan said that he would be with them. Sid and Riya said that they would be back after some time.

"Aarohi, come with me." Aarav asked.

"Where do you want to go ?" I asked him.

"Somewhere, just come." He said and I followed him. And he took me some distance away from our car.

"Aarohi, I want to tell you something." He said.

"Yes, go ahead." I said.

"Aarohi, already a week is over. We will part our ways in the coming two weeks. We won't see each other, talk with each other. All this was okay for me till last night." He said.

"I know Aarav, and I am sorry about that." I told him.

"Wait Aarohi, let me finish. But last night when I slept with you, I realized that I would never forget you." He said.

"I know that we will have to move on and marry someone, but Aarohi, I don't know whether I can be fair with that girl, because my heart will always belong to you.

"Even if I love that girl, it would be always you, that would have the major part of my heart. I would always love you." He said, looking straight in my eyes.

"But Aarohi, the thing that hurts me is that, I won't even have a picture of yours with me." He said sadly.

"Aarav, I am sorry. But that's what I promised my dad before coming here. I can't break that promise." I told him.

"It's okay Aarohi." He said, and then bent down on one knee.

"What are you doing Aarav ?" I asked him.

"Aarohi, I know that I can't marry you, but I just want you to have something." He said.

"What ?" I asked.

"Give me your hand. And don't ask anything, okay." He said.

"Okay." I said and gave him my hand.

He pulled out a box and removed a ring from it, and was about to put it on my finger when I pulled my hand away.

"Aarav, what are you doing ?" I shouted.

"Cool down Aarohi, I am not gonna put it on your ring finger." He said laughing.

"Hmmm."

"Give me your hand." He said again, and when I gave him, he put that ring on my index finger.

"Aarohi, please keep that ring with you always. Don't remove it, Ever." He said standing up.

"I won't. I promise." I said and hugged him.

"I love you." He said and kissed my forehead.

"I love you too." I said.

Siddhant's POV

I had girlfriends in the p0 ast, but none of them are a match to Riya. She was different. She was carefree, strong, funny, sweet, beautiful and really loving.

I fell like I am the happiest person when I am with her. Her laugh, her smile, her anger, everything about her makes me fall in love with her again and again.

"Hey MDQ, what are you thinking ?" Riya asked.

"Nothing." I told her.

"Okay." She said.

"No wait, actually I was thinking that, are your parents against love marriage ?" I asked her.

"Hmmm, well they aren't. Even they had love marriage. But why are you asking me this ?" She questioned.

"Nothing just like that. Riya, do you really love me ?" I asked her.

"Dumbo, I really really love you. Do you have any doubts about this ?" She asked.

"No." I told her.

"Riya, would you remain in touch with me when we will leave from here ?" I asked.

"Of course yes. And that made me remember, my mom wanted to see you. I told her about you, and she was like, 'I want to see that lucky guy.' Can I call her, now ?" She asked.

"Of course you can." I told her.

Then she video called her mother, and surprisingly, her mother loved me.

"Wow, mom loved you. I can't believe it." She said, after hanging up.

"Well that's my charm." I joked.

"But really, my mom is choosy. She never liked my boyfriends." She said.

"Ummm, how many boyfriends had you had ?" I asked her.

"Two. And you are the first one she liked. " She said.

"That's great, don't you think so." I asked.

"Yupp." She said.

"Riya, I wanted to ask you something.
But first promise me that you won't freak out." I told her.

"Okay, I will try not to freak out." She said.

"I wanted to ask whether, you would... like to... be my future... wi....wife ?" I told her and immediately regretted it.

"Sid, you are joking, right." She asked.

"Ye..yeah. Yeah, I was joking. Wait, no, not really. I am serious." I told her.

"Actually, you know what, I won't mind marrying you, but not now. Maybe after some years, and after knowing you. After all, we have just met." She said.

"Are you serious ?" I asked her.

"Yes, I am. If we work out, then why not ?" She said smiling.

"I love you Riya." I told her.

"And I love you Siddhant." She said, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her.

Then after chatting for sometime, we made our way to our group.

"I was about to call you. What were you two doing ?" Vivan asked me.

"Planning about our future kids." Riya said, before I could reply.

"What !" Aarav screamed.

"Cool down brother, she is kidding. But yeah, more or less, it is related to what we were talking about." I said.

"What do you mean ? Tell directly." Aarohi asked.

"Ummm, Sid asked whether I would like to marry him." Riya said smiling and I kissed her cheek.

"Yup, that was what took us so long." I told them.

"And what did you reply ?" Gracy asked.

"Of course yes. But don't worry, there was no ring involved. And, we are not marrying now. We will see whether we both work out, and then, when we are both ready, we will think about it." Riya explained.

"Wow, that's great. Congrats to you guys." Ishu said, and others started doing the same.

And that was when I noticed that Aarav made his way away from us, after congratulating us. And I didn't miss the sad look on his face. So I excused myself, and followed him.
