"This chain I brought it when I received my first profit. I brought my first car and went to a jewelry shop. There I bought some jewels for mom, sis, and Madhu. But this one here caught my attention. I don't know why I bought it then, something said to buy it. You said there is a reason for everything and this one here could be detached." I said to her and removed it and hold the ring out. Then I got down on one knee and her eyes widened. My heart was beating so fast that I'm doing this right now."

*****************************************

He goes down on one knee. I looked around and let's say this one over here gathered few audiences.

" Shristi, I know this is crazy and stupid. But ever since the day I saw you, I felt some connection. You occupied my mind. Then, I saw you at your house and I couldn't believe that it's you and the fact that you were the girl my parents choose for me." He chuckled lightly making me smile.

" That moment, I realized that I can't see you in other arms and I want you for myself." He looked at me while saying that last part and can't help but smile.

" All I want to do at that moment was to grab you from that guy and give him a death glare, by the way, I did." He smirked at me and continued.

" When you and my family got along and made fun of me, made me realize how much they like you and how comfortable you felt. We have an inevitable bond that I'm attracted to you both physically and emotionally. What we have, ... this connection between us I haven't felt with anyone. Even my ex's as a matter of fact. No one really knew the reason why I took that drastic step to end my life except for Kamal and Shafar. I shared it with you because I want you to be my better half and help me to be myself. I want to spend my life with you. No second thoughts are in my mind. It's just you and I regret not seeing you before. So will you do the honor of being my best friend, my love, my wife, mother of my child, and my equal half? Will you marry me?" He finished and out of breath while I am astounded right in front of him.

All I could think is the last part 'will you marry me?' Would I? just now I got to know about him. Whatever he said is true. Right from the start and I can't decline the fact.

The man in front of me proposed to me. If he is so sure to let women after all he had gone through, why not me?

" Would you kneel on both the legs if you want my answer?" I teased him and he smiled at me.

"Anything for you, baby." He said and kneel on both knees and asked me,

" Now will you marry me?"

I can't help but laugh at his words and I kneel in front of him and I said my answer to him,

" I think, I already gave you my answer Mr. Mrithun and I'm honored to be your wife, best friend, and mother of our child." With that, I held my hands to him and he slipped the ring on my fingers.

" Perfect fit" he mumbled and looked at me and smirked.

" Hello fiancee," He said and hugged me and we heard few claps and howling sounds at us.

I hid my face on his chest and he laughed at my action and he yelled to all,

" Finally, she said yes!"

And everyone over there, Congratulated us. He held my hands and kissed my head lightly.

" I already started to Fall for you and Now there is no going back." Those words made came out of him was genuine and filled with happiness.

The only thing he needs right now is assurance and I gave him.

" There is no going back now."

With that we spent some more time over there and talking about anything we like or come across.

But my stomach pain intensified, I couldn't walk anymore. I held his hands to stop him.

" I can't walk anymore. Can we sit somewhere?" I asked him he looked worried at my sudden behaviour.

" Are you okay? We could leave" he asked me.

I sat over the nearby bench and that's when it strikes me I have my monthly visitor. I sighed heavily and hold my stomach. How could I forget about that? Thank God I got my purse.

" Can we go to VR Mall?" I asked him and looked at me confused.

" Hmm...of course but why? You look like you are in pain. Tell me what's wrong?" He stressed me to say.

I kinda feel awkward to say it to him. But he gave away a stern look and I sighed heavily.

" I... I think I am on my period and I have to change so...so can we go over there?" I asked sheepishly and looked anywhere but him.

He wrapped his strong arms around me and pulled me closer. I inhaled his Cologne which made me feel better and he kept his palm on my stomach and gently rubbed it while adding some pressure to it.

I can't help but whine at it. I can't bear the pain and it usually lasts for 2 days. Sometimes it becomes worse.

" Okay... I shall take you home if you want. I can't see you like this. It's okay, we can spend our time when you feel good." He says but I hold his shirt and clutched it onto it.

" No, I want to be with you." I blurted out and I realized what I said.

So I buried my face on his chest. His chest vibrated.

" Don't be shy with me. What am I gonna do if you are this shy? I have a lot of plans to do with you." He lifted my face and wriggled his eyebrows at me and hit him. He burst out laughing making me mad at him.

"Okay...okay, I'm sorry. Come on let's go." He said as stood up and held his hand out for me.

But I glare at him and he sighed and crouched in front of me.

" Sorry, baby I'm just kidding." He pleaded.

I wrap my arms around myself and looked away from him. He tried again. But I didn't give up. Then he holds his ears on both of his years and asked me 'sorry' with a slight pout.

He looked adorable. How could I avoid this action, so I smiled at him. He looked relieved and stood up. Then took my hands and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead. I think, he loves kissing me on my forehead.

Soon we arrived at our destination and parked our Car.

" Do you have your tampons with you or do we need to buy them?" He asked me casually and I looked at him.

"What?" He asked me and shook my head at him.

" I don't use Tampons just regular pads. And for your question. Yes, I do have one in my purse." I got and looked for but I think the universe is against me. I couldn't find one.

" Really and where is that?" He questioned and I Blushed at him.

"Hmm, I think we have to buy one." He laughed at me and took my hands.

" Okay, Come. We shall buy one and then you could change." I nodded at him.

We entered the store and looked for the essential section and went there. I thought he would feel out of place but boy, I was wrong.

" If you don't feel comfortable. It's fine you can stand over there." I suggested him and gave him reassuring smile.

He shook his head and said, " If I'm gonna go and stand over there. How would I know which brand you use? I want to take care of you. So, shut up your sweet mouth and show me what you need. Which one do you use? And what do Wings and without wings mean?" He asked me and I burst out giggling at him.

A lady was standing nearby gave him a Crazy look and he asked her.

" What...? I'm trying to get to know about my girlfriend's needs. Is there a problem?" The lady gave him a knowing look and shook her head and left the aisle.

" Babe, comes on. Are you gonna help me or stand there and laugh at me?" He smirked at me and I made my way to him and closed his mouth with my hand.

" Stop it. You are practically shouting." I whispered to him but he kissed my hand.

I immediately took off and glared at him but failed miserably.

" Okay, Come on. Which one do you want?" He whispers near my ears and it sent shivers down my spine.

God, this mood swings. I groaned but then held my arms around my stomach because of the cramps.

I took out the necessary one and made our way out. I asked him to wait and made my way to change.

Once done, I came over and saw him. He had a Dark Chocolate bar for me. I smiled widely at him and hugged him avoiding the stare sent towards us. He just held me and gave me chocolate.

" Come let's sit and have our lunch. But before that, we have to do something." He pulled my hand and dragged me to 'Guess showroom' and I started at him.

" What are we doing here?" I asked him confused at his action. We made our way towards the women's section.

" You don't look comfortable. You need to change. Come on, look for a dress." He said and my heart melted at his guestur.

" Okay, but this is not the store for me. Can we go somewhere else?" I asked him. It's too expensive for me.

"Why? You could look over her. See I think it's perfect." He said and held out a simple soft dress.

" I know but I don't want it. I can't buy that one right now. You know, It's month-end?" I raised my eyebrows at him and looked at me as if I grew some horns on my head.

" Who said you are going to pay for this? I'm buying you. Come on, babe." He said.

"No...no you are not," I said sternly and he looked at me.

" What...? Why...can't I buy you something?" His face had hurt emotions. God, what have I done? I placed my hands on his chest.

" No, You can buy me anything. But not now. Maybe once when I'm married to you. I just think it's too much. Plus, I don't think if I buy this my parents will approve. You know we usually won't buy in these shops. It's too much for us. And I have sisters at home. I can't give them a thought that I changing soon. I appreciate that you want to ta.." He cut me out by placing his finger on my lip. He smiled at me.

"I can understand what you say. Okay, I will wait and we could buy you a dress from some other shop. And what did I say about the rambling baby?" He had a mischievous smirk on his face.

I thought for a minute but nothing came up.

" Mmm...you know you look cute when you are confused, baby." He said and closed the gap and held me by my waist.

I had to look up cause this one here is taller than me.

" My last warning was that, If you keep on blabbering my fingers won't stop but my lips will. What shall I do now?" He asks me and leaned closer.

I gulped at his action and my hands were holding his shirt tightly.

" Maybe, I will leave you this one time. Next time there is no way out girl." He warned me but surprised by pecking my lips and my eyes widened at it. I know by now I look like a beetroot.

He laughed at me and kissed my cheeks. I looked around to see anyone there. But thank God, No one is here. I felt flushed and so hot.

" Come on, let's go." He said and I joined my hands with him for support. God, what the hell he is doing to me.

We made it to Max's showroom and there I picked up a Black plain t-shirt which was comfortable and so soft.

I showed it to him and he shook his head as 'no'. And took another one it was deep blue. It was better than the one I picked.

" I think this one looks good Shri." I agreed with him. But got interrupted by someone.

" Excuse me? Where did you get this one from? I was looking for something like that." A girl flirted with him while I was standing beside him.

He kept a plain look and said in a monotonous voice.

" Just down the aisle. You could find them there." But the girl didn't move away.

Like dude, she is talking to him as if I'm not standing there. I stared at her and turned towards Mrithun and wrapped my arms around his waist. He immediately pulled me by his side.

" Babe, I think this one looks comfortable." I said to him while I took the dress from him and I added,

"I and our baby are starving! Can we leave?" I said while glaring at the girl in front of us.

She looked like she could murder me and I didn't expect Mrithun to do this. He placed his hand on my lower stomach and said, " Is my baby and my girl hungry? Come on guys let's grab some food for you." He said and took my hand. That girl's facial expression was priceless. Once we moved away from her. We both started laughing hard.
