Ananya descended the stairs leading to the hall. She was looking absolutely like a fairy in her white gown. However she was surprised to see the hall dark and empty. All of a sudden a spot light came on her and then spot light reached a spot where a handsome guy was standing.

She whispered: "Veer"

Veer walked up to her with steady steps and on approaching her he kneeled down and forwarded his hand to her and began:

" Pari tum meri sabse acchi dost ho. You have always been there for me in all ups and downs of my life. Maine vaada kiya tha tumse ki kabhie tumhara saath nehi chorunga aur main humesha apna vaada nivaounga. Lekin aaj main tumse kuch kehna chahta hu. You are not just a best friend for me. You mean the world for me. You define life for me. Tumhare bina jeene ka main soch bhi nehi sakta kyunki tum meri jindagi ho, mera pehla aur aakhri pyar ho. I love you Pari, more than my life, more than anyone else in this world. Will you accept me."

Ananya was too overwhelmed to say anything. She nodded and put her hand on his while he stood up and took her into a passionate hug. All lights lit up and the hall roared with applause for the new couple. Flowers poured over both of them. All of their friends were really happy for them, except, offcourse Abhinav.

Veer pulled away from the hug and stepped back than he stretched out his hand and opened his fist and asked : "May I have a dance with the most beautiful girl of this world?"

Ananya was on cloud nine. She beamed happily and put her hand on his outstretched one amidst the loud cheers of the others. They walked hand in hand to the dance floor and turned to face each other.

As they stepped into the dance floor, Veer clicked his finger and the DJ put the music on.

Veer beamed and let go off Ananya's hand only to wound his arms around her waist while Ananya had her arms entangled around his neck.

Both swayed with the rhythm of the music elegantly. They were at the moment the most ecstatic as they both were in the arms of the persons they love the most. Soon the other followed suit and the rocked the dance floor.

After quite a while Veer glanced around and found everyone totally engrossed either in dance or in their respective partners. He smirked evilly as he thought of making the best use of this oppurtunity.

Ananya raised her brows seeing him smriking and was about to ask him something when he freed one of his arms from around her waist and put his index finger on her lips. Then he gently took hold of her arm and lead her out of the hall. As usual Ananya just blindly followed him. Soon they reached the parking and he made her sit inside and ignited the engine of the car and soon they drove away.

After few minutes had passed in complete silence, the car came to an abrupt halt and Ananya glanced around only to find that they had reached a small yet very beautiful cottage.

Ananya was mesmerised by its beauty. She turned around to see Veer who was beaming at her.

Ananya : "Prince yeh cottage kiska hain aur tum mujhe yahan kyun laaye ho?"

Veer pulled her closer by grabbing her waist and tucked a stray stranf of hair behind her ear while gazing at her lovingly.

Veer : "Yeh humara hain. Actually hum dono ne sem mein highest marks laaya tha na toh isliye mom dad ne humein yeh gift kiya hain. Par ise decorate maine kiya. Aur tumhein main isliye laaya hu kyunki mujhe na tumse kuch pochna tha."

Ananya smirked and entangled her arms around his neck : "Accha? Aur kya poochna hain tumhein? Abhie toh propose kiya, abhie shaadi ke liye bhi propose karna hain kya?"

Veer : "oye usme propose kya karna? Tum toh sirf meri ho. Haan kaho, naa kaho shaadi toh main tumse hi karunga. Agar na boli toh agwa karke fir jabardashti shaadi kar lunga."

Ananya jaw dropped in surprise and she replied back : "Hawww! Prince tum kitna mean ho."

Veer chuckled : "Wo toh main hu. Par jaisa bhi hu sirf tumhara hu."

Ananya replied proudly : " Wo toh hain."

And both burst out into giggles.

As their giggle subsided, Veer freed himself from the embrace and gently took hold of Ananya's hand and tugged her alongwith him and made his way to the cottage.

As they entered the cottage, Ananya was mesmerised by the view. The entire decoration had been made in accordance with her taste. Her lips curved into a bright smile and she looked at Veer only to find him grinning widely.

Veer : "Pasand aaya?"

Ananya nodded with a smile and moving closer, put her head on his broad chest while entangling one arm around his waist. He too wrapped one armaround her waist and led her to the backyard of the cottage where there was a beautiful swimming pool, whose crystal blue water was glittering due to the sunrays.

They both sat down, still in each other's embrace, dipping their feet in the water.

Veer : "Pari!'

Ananya : "Hmm."

Veer : " Ek baat poochoon?"

Anaya : "Tum kabse izazat mangne lage prince. Jitna main janti hu tum toh ek no. ki besharam ho."

Veer : "Haha! Not funny ok. Khair choro main tumse yeh poochna chahta tha ki'."

And he trailed off.

Ananya was curious and hence she instigated : " Ki'"

Veer finally blurted out : "Pari tum toh mujhse itna pyar karti ho. Fir us din college ke drama hall mein tumne Abhi ko haan kyun kaha tha?"

Ananya muttered confusedly : "Drama hall? (And then it struck her what must have happened and why he distanced himself from her) Oh God! Don't tell me Prince ki tumhein laga ki main Abhi se' Arey idiot wo toh play ka reharsal ho raha tha aur main Abhinav ko help kar rahi thi. Buddhu."

Veer's eyes widened in bewilderment : "Arey yaar! Aur mujhe laga ki' par fir tumne kyun khudko merese distant kar liya tha?"

Ananya hesitated n finally answered : "Wo us din na maine tumhe Madhura ko hug karte dekha tha toh mujhe laga ki tum usko pasand karte ho toh isliye main beech mein nehi ana chahti thi."

Veer chuckled : "Tum bhi mere tarah hi buddhu nikli. Arey I was jut consolidating her as she had lost her relative and was sobbing badly."

Ananya giggled in astonishment and hit her head softly.

Ananya : " Par Veer tumne achanak mujhe propose kaise kiya? Matlab tumhein kaise pata chala ki main tumse pyar karti hu aur Abhinav se nehi?"

Veer smirked : "Agar bata diya toh mujhe kya milega?"

Ananya was connfused : "kya chahiye tumhein?"

Veer : "Hmm let's see! Thik hain us raat beach mein jo tumne unconsciously kiya tha aaj consciously karna hoga. Aur main proposing ki baat nehi kar raha."

Ananya without even knowing what he had asked for gave her consent : "Ok"

Veer chuckled and then replied : "us raat tumne bahut pee li thi. You were totally drunk. We went to the beach and there you confessed to me that you love me. And then'"

It was now that Ananya gulped as somewhere she had guessed what must have happened after that : "And then'"

Veer smirked : "And then I kissed you and you too responded, though unconsciously. So now that you know what you did that day, so as per your promise, you have to repeat it consciously."

Ananya blushed crimson as a shy smile crept up onto her rosy lips and she lowered her gaze.

Veer smiled and reduced the distance between them and gently placed his lips on hers soft ones. Soon the gentle kiss turned into a passionate one and both of them immersed into a blissful oblivion as they promised each other through the kiss to be always there for each other, to support, to care and to love unconditionally.

Veer and Ananya always thought whether their relationship was just friendship or more than that and today they had their answer in each other's embrace where they were meant to be.
