Aryan took the mic and went towards the stage and looked at me with a smile.

"Hello everyone present here. You all know that today I am getting engaged to the love of my life.

Anna.

There is no perfect word to describe how much I love her, or how much she means to me. Maybe love would bean understatement. I am so lucky and blessed to have her in my life.

And Anna thankyou for being there with at every step of my life and never leaving my side even though I wasn't perfect. I love you so much. Forever and always. This song's for you Anna." He looks at me with a smile and the light dims. He finally starts singing.

Maintenu samjhawan ki

Natere bina lagda jee

Maintenu samjhawan ki

Natere bina lagda jee

Tuki jaane pyaar mera

Mainkaroon intezar tera

Tudil, tunhion jaan meri

Maintenu samjhawan ki

Natere bina lagda jee

Tuki jaane pyaar mera

Mainkaroon intezar tera

Tudil, tunhion jaan meri

Maintenu samjhawan ki

Natere bina lagda jee

Meredil ne chun laiya ne

Teredil diyan rahaan

Tujo mere naal tu rehnta

Turpemeriyaan saaha

Jeenamera haye

Hunhai tera, ki main karaan

Tukar eitbaar mera

Mainkaroon intezar tera

Tudil, tunhion jaan meri!

Maintenu samjhawan ki

Natere bina lagda jee

Everyone clapped as the song ended. Hall was filled up with reporters and media people. But no cameras were allowed yet.

Later when I change into my night dress Aryan asked me to come with him. I wanted change my dress but he said that he like it better this way.

"Come with me." Aryan says as he takes my hand in his.

I giggled. "Where are you taking me Aryan and what's with this blindfold in the middle of the night?"

"Just shut up and follow me Anna." he says.

"Okay Ash!" I say

"Anna don't you dare call me that in public." He say sternly.

Ash?

Um. That's his Mafia name. No one knows him by his real name. It will be revealed only after our marriage.

When he removes the blindfold, there is only one word that leaves my mouth.

Wow

"What did you think, the first time you saw me?" He asks me.

We're lying on our backs, our hands intertwined blissfully between us as westare up at the trees. The air around us is filled with the sound of birds chirping and water tumbling over rocks in the nearby river.

"Which first time are you talking about? We were barely talking when we met each other."

"You know how to ruin the moment." I glare at him

"Umm..well you see I first liked you when we were twelve I guess." He says.

"Oh really. But I remember someone who was just ten asked me to be his first."

"Yeah I know..I just don't know when I fell for you. It just happened overtime." he says.

I stare into his flawed blue eyes uninterrupted. It's indescribable how thrilling it feels. I'll never get used to it. No amount of time will ever be long enough.

We stare at each other for a long moment and then he slips his hand around my waist and slowly draws me to him. The gap between us closes to mere inches and everything seems to go very still—I go very still; even my heart holds in my chest for a beat.

His gaze lingers on my mouth and all of my senses sharpen, the air around us beginning to crackle. When his lips finally meet mine, I jolt with electricity from head to toe.

Our kisses grow hungry and desperate and he clutches me to him, letting out a low growl that vibrates through my body. It's the single sexiest thing I've ever heard.

But then he slides his mouth away and pants against the side of my neck. My shivers are out of control.

"Anna. I'm losing it."

"Don't hold yourself."

I don't know if any of that was intelligible, but suddenly we're both in a frenzy. My fingers are on his hips, his belt. His hands are beneath the hem of my dress, skirting up to the tops of my thighs. He doesn't stop me as I unbuckle him, nor do I stop him as he tugs at the flimsy fabric separating us. I stand up quickly to rid myself of the obstruction and then I'm slowly sinking down, and, oh, it's completely overwhelming. I swear, I will have bruises on my hips from where his fingers are digging into me, and I'll want to get them tattooed there so I remember this moment for the rest of my life.

Not that I'll ever forget it.

We begin to move together and I feel so much, so intensely. The fireflies in my stomach have multiplied and I am so full of light andlove that I think I'll explode.

"Don't wait for me," I say against his lips.

"Come with me," he replies.

And heat spreads up my body, bringing with it intense waves of pleasure, and as I detonate, he holds me still and stares into my eyes before falling with me.

"Anna..."He whispers. "You are the best thing ever happened to me."

I lay my head and palm on his chest. "I love the sound."

"Sound of what?" He asks as he runs his fingers through my hairs.

"The sound of your heart beating rapidly for me."

"This heart will always beat for only one person in my whole life and that is you." He says as he looks at me in the eyes. "This heart belongs to you Anna."

"I love you so much Aryan." I say.

"Me too. Meri Jaan (my life). Me too." He whispers as he kisses me again.

Next morning Aryan comes out of shower. His messy blond hair is still damp, and he smells strongly of orange and something I can't quite put my finger on, which is now weirdly comforting to me. His head dips to mine, and his lips press against my cheek lightly.

"You look pretty disturbed. What is it?" Aryan asks me.

"It's nothing I am just --"

"Aryan!!"Rohan screams. "We haven't heard from dad since last week." He bargs into our room without knocking.

"What do you mean?" Aryan furrows hhis eyebrows.

"Actually.."Rohan sighs. "We sent over a spy over there but we haven't heard anything from them."

What happened to you dad?

No...that can't be.

Where are you dad? Tears fell from my eyes wetting my cheeks.
