A bed full of rose petals.. Scented candles.. And the dimlit bedroom.. Just back from office, this was not a normal scene when she came home. A pleasant surprise but unsure what this meant. She couldn't even see him around. Was he getting a date home? She thought. A open friendship easily survived between them for 2 and half years now. They both dated separately however what they felt for each other never was shown or hindered their date life. And now this? Is he proposing someone? How come I don't know whom he was dating? No,he couldn't be possibly dating a girl without telling me? But why not? A question that her alterego failed to get an answer for. He did act a little queer the other day. Damn I need answers. Mentally and physically exhausted from the day's work this was welcoming but now curiosity reached it's peak. She wanted to know.
He came early from work that day. Setting will take time. He mentioned to his colleague today's the moment of truth buddy. Buddy?? Seriously is that what I called Ashok? He threw his head back and laughed it off as he drove home. He had successfully talked himself into it. A girl and guy living together wasn't an easy thing in India let alone in Bangalore. This was the most ideal set up. They knew each other for 5 years now and it surely was cost effective. The day they met in college they knew this was going to last long. Forever is the word today. Whom was he fooling dating other hot women. He loved her like crazy. Waiting each night for her to come back from work, kissing her forehead and wishing her good night, waking up with a warm hug from her each day. It all worked awesomely well. She dated other men and how much he loathed them. But he was having fun too. Fun ya but this is serious business. Diligently for these 2 years she attended all his family functions like he did too. These affairs were always a closed affair consisting only his immediate family members. This time however it was his brother's factory opening. And people from all over the place were invited.
Obviously questions were raised. And soon they were the talk of the function. He didn't like those stares and the talks. He now understood what his family was questioned and how they were talked about. He still wasn't sure of what to do next and how to stop all of this happening. And then he saw her. Draped in his favourite coloured saree she was calm composed not one bit of anger showed in her demeanor or in her conversations. Each one of us had a flaw but for him she was simply perfect. And he knew what had to be done. He had thought over it lot many times before. But had ruled it out. Thinking what about their friendship? Their whole arrangement. Everything could go for a toss. He knew what was at stake and what the result would be. She had given cues time and again and finally this was his chance to grab it.
She walked out of her room and walked into his room hoping he shall be there to explain. She so badly wanted to just know. He was there. In her most favourite attire blue jeans and white shirt, clean shaved and the fragrance of his perfume had filled the room. With a charming smile on his face and mischief in those eyes he said, "ssup?" He normally was like this but today something about him his manner, the way he stood, maybe the look in his eyes, something was different, she tried hard to find.
"What's all this arrangement for?" "What does it look like?" "It looks like some lucky girl is gonna get proposed tonight but who?" "Smart I must say", he said it with a hint of sarcasm a manner that always made her smile. "So who is it? I thought you weren't dating anyone and now all this? Ssup who's the lucky girl?? Temme temme??" He loved her all bubbly and jittery and knew what he is going to say next is going to hit her like a lighting bolt.
Her heart skipped multiple beats as she saw him go on his knees with a plain platinum ring in the velvet red box. "Do I still have to say who it is?"
