Chapter 8
Samantha's POV
Today is Chay's birthday, and we planned a big party for him to night. I haven't told him, and I made Akhil, and everyone who was invited keep the secret. I walk into AGH and into the locker room. Putting my belongings away, I walk outside with only my phone.
As I walk, my phone vibrates and I look at it. Its a message from Chay, telling him to meet me in his office.
"Hi." I greet Chay as I open the door to his room and pop my head in.
He is sitting at his desk, typing away on his laptop. When he hears me, he looks up
"Morning Sam!" he says, beckoning me in.
I walk in and close the door behind me. As I walk towards him, he stands and walks towards me. We both meet in the middle, and he wraps his arms around me.
"Hi." he says.
"Hi." I reply.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Did you forget?" he asks after a while.
"Forget?" I ask. "Forget what?" I say, playing dumb.
"Nothing. Never mind."
"Oh, ok. Well, I have to go." I tell him, trying to pull out of his iron grip.
"Please stay." he begs, nuzzling his face into my neck.
I sigh and smile.
"I have to go." I repeat. "Or Chaitra will have my head."
"Hmm." he says as he kisses my neck slowly.
"Chay, someone might come in." I say, breathing heavily.
"Let them come." Chay moans.
"Chay, please."
He ignores me, and continues kissing me. He kisses up my jawline, and finally, places his lips on mine. The kiss immediately turns intense. He walks towards me, pushing me to the wall.
Suddenly, the door swings open. Chay immediately pulls away.
"Oh my god, I did not just see that." Akhil says, walking in.
I look down and blush bright red.
"Shut up idiot." Chay says, throwing a plastic bottle at him.
Akhil manages to catch it before it hit his face.
"Woah, chill around the face man! This is the money!" he exclaims.
"Ego-maniac." Chay says.
"Yea, says the guy whose ego revolves around him like wifi." Akhil retorts back.
I roll my eyes at their childish bickering.
"If you two boys are done bickering, I'm gonna go." I say.
Chay makes to grab my hand, but I dodge him and walk out, giving him a wicked smile as I leave.
****
I called Chay and told him to pick me up. About twenty minutes later, he is in front of my house. I get into the car.
"Where to m'lady?" he asks.
"Our Palace Banquet Hall." I say.
"Why there?"
"Just go. It's a surprise party for my friend's birthday."
"You remember everyone's birthday but mine." I hear him mutter quietly under his breath.
I feel a smile on my face, and immediately cover it up.
****
When we arrive, I message Akhil to get everyone ready.
"Let's go?" I ask.
"Do I know this friend?" he asks.
"What? What type of question is that? You are my plus-one." I say.
"Wow, I feel honored." he mutters.
We both walk to the back. The lights are all off, and everyone is hiding, just as I had planned it.
"Where is everyone?" Chay asks.
I look around, acting confused.
"I don't know." I check my phone. "This is supposed to be the place I think." I say, acting as if I was going through messages.
"Are you sure? It looks deserted."
"Hang on, let me message him."
"Him?" he asks.
"Jealous much?" I whisper close to his ear, so the others won't hear me.
"Haha. You wish."
I roll my eyes.
"Let's wait for a few minutes." I suggest.
We wait, but the others won't come out until I give the signal.
I look at my phone again.
"Oh my god!" I exclaim.
"What? What is it?" he asks.
"The party is tomorrow!"
"What?!"
"Yea, sorry. Let's go."
I can almost feel his death glare. He starts walking back to the front, and I give the signal.
"Chay." I call out.
Just as he turns, everyone pops out, and the lights turn on.
"Happy Birthday!" we all yell.
People pop confetti cannons. Chay looks shocked and stunned.
I her Akhil laughing, and the rapid clicking of the camera. Chay has confetti in his hair, and he looks like a clown, I can't help laughing.
"I-I thought you forgot." Chay accuses me.
I walk up to him.
"I would never forget." I say, kissing him on the cheek.
****
Akhil walks up to me, Priya behind him.
"Hi!" I say when I see Priya.
"Akhila." she says a bit coldly.
I look at Akhil.
"You didn't?" I ask.
He gives me a sheepish smile and shakes his head no.
"Didn't what?" Priya asks.
"I'm not Akhila." I say.
"What?" she asks, confused.
I laugh.
"It was all an act. My name is Samantha."
Priya just stares at me like I have two heads.
Laughing, I fill her in on the plan.
When I finish, she turns to Akhil, glaring at him playfully.
"You!" she says.
"Vadina!" Akhil looks at me, scared. "Help!"
"No can do." I tell him.
He looks at me. "Why?"
I look at Priya, then back at him.
"Girl-code." I reply with a smile.
"No!"
"Oh, yes." Priya says.
With that, Akhil takes off running, Priya chasing after him.
I look after them, laughing to myself.
****
We are all having a great time. All of our friends, and family are here, along with the hospital staff, and a few of Chay's childhood friends.
I'm talking to Nani and Keerthy, who have gotten very close lately. Kaushik and Jaanu have gotten pretty close too. (I suspect something going on between the four of them.)
"Can I have your attention please." Chay says from the stage.
Everyone quiets down, and we all look towards him.
"Okay, so first, I'm shocked to see all of you here. I had no clue that this was happening." he laughs. We all laugh with him.
"Now, I would like to ask Samantha to please come on stage." he says.
I look up at him, a bit surprised. He looks at me and beckons me onto the stage. I stand, and slowly walk up to him. I stand next to him, facing everyone else.
"When I met Samantha, she had thought I was a play boy. Then she fell in love with me." he says. Everyone laughs, and I smile to myself at that memory. I had thought he was a stupid playboy.
"And," he continues as the laughter dies down, "I am lucky she fell in love with me. I am the luckiest man alive." I just smile. "So," he says. Then it's quiet, and the crowd cheers. Confused, I turn to look at him.
He is on one knee, one hand behind his back. That's when I realize what was happening. I cup my mouth in my hands, shocked, when he brings his hand out from behind him. He's holding a beautiful diamond ring.
He looks up at me with those beautiful eyes.
"Samantha Ruth Prabhu." he says. I'm already nodding at this point. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes!"
