Pranbir were getting ready for their date. Ranbir was as usual in his one of his black suits. He was waiting for her when she came there still wearing her shoes. She was wearing a black dress, she liked wearing black dresses.
As soon as Ranbir's eyes laid on her, he was mesmerised by her beauty. She was struggling to tie the shoes straps.
He chuckled seeing her struggle and proceeded towards her. He held her hands to stop her and brought her to the couch. He made her sit and bent down and helped her tying it. Prachi looked at him lovingly and was all smiles.
Ranbir:'You are all done and ready. Shall we leave now?'
He forwarded his hand to her.
Prachi:'Sure, Mr. Kohli.' And took his hands. They carried on to their destination.
At the restaurant:
Ranbir helped her with her seat.
Prachi:'Being a perfect gentleman?'
Ranbir:'Have to. I am with the most beautiful gulr.'
She blushed at his comments.
Ranbir:'What will you order?'
Prachi:'since you plan everything, surprise me, Mr. Kohli.' She handed the menu back to him.
Ranbir, impressed:'Well, ok then.'
He called the waiters and orders for both of them.
They started chatting anout random things waiting for the food.
Ranbir:'Shahana was proposing winter theme, what do you think?'
Prachi:'I am sure that she will plan it well.'
Ranbir:'You are happy right?' Prachi looked at him, stunned by his questions.
Prachi:'Why?'
Ranbir:'Actually you seems uninterested with the shopping and all.'
Prachi:'Ranbir, I am very and extremely happy with the wedding and cannot wait for me to be officially yours. It's just the shopping and preparations.... I don't want anything grand but seeing the way they are planning it, it will be. I understand also but to be honest I am just extremely nervous.'
That reassured Ranbir as he thought it was the wedding that was being questioned here.
Ranbir:'I will try to tell them to tone the prepparations a bit and go for simple. And grand or not, it's us that matters. I will be with you at every step.'
Prachi:'I know that. If they trouble me much, I will drag you along.'
Ranbir chuckled at her.
Prachi, teasingly:'Well, you know, that during the cerermonies I will have to go back to Mama and Papa's place, right?'
Ranbir, surprised:'Where did that come from?'
She laughed at hiis reactions.
Prachi:'Mama already said it to me.She will come to pick me up 2 days before the wedding.'
Ranbir, sadly:'That's not fair.'
Prachi:'Good news for you that I convinced her for only one night before the wedding.'
Ranbir:'At least.'
The food arrived and Prachi saw that he ordered her favourite. Her smile grew bigger and they started to dig in. They kept talking adnd fully enjoyed their dinner.
At the time of leaving, Ranbir paid the bill and they came out.
Prachi:'Should we walk a bit?'
Ranbir:'Ok.'
They walked to the little garden at the entrace of the restaurant. There were some kids playing there. It started to snow a bit.
Ranbir:'We should go back soon, ithe snow might fall more.'
Prachi:'Just a little bit.'
He was confused but followed her to a bench.
They were sitting for 5 mins in complete silence just staring at the view. Ranbir slowly felt Prachi who put her head on his shoulders. He carried on by holding her hand and entangled their fingers.
Ranbir:'What are you thinking so deeply.'
Prachi:'About everything. Us and how everything led to this moment and how this feels just perfect.'
Ranbir smiled at her words.
Ranbir:'Not just perfect but peaceful.' He kissed her forehead and brought her closer to him.
Ranbir:'Watching those kids, I can say one thing that I want a daughter just like you.'
Prachi looked at him.
Prachi:'Sorry Mister, but you gonna have to give me more than just one baby.'
He chuckled hearing her.
Ranbir:'How many do you want? I can give you a little football team. I don't mind.'
She blushed hearing him.
Prachi, still blushing:'Not that many.'
Ranbir:'Then?'
Prachi:'Well, to being with 2... then we will see if we want more.'
Ranbir:'All depends on you.'
Prachi:'on us.'
Ranbir, suddenly serious:'Prachi, I know that the babies will come with time but I want to promise you today itself, that I will try 100% to be a great Dad. I will never be like my pareents.'
Prachi lloked up at him and caressed his cheek.
Prachi:'I know and full trust you on that. You will be the best father in the whole world. And when our kids will grow up, they will tell you that themselves.'
He smiled at her while they had an eye-lock.
It broke when they heard the kids screaming in happiness as snow started falling more heavily. Soon, the floor was half covered by snow.
Ranbir:'We should go in.' But Prachi nodded no. She saw how the kids were playing with snow, throwing on each other. She also join them and played with them.
Ranbir was watching her lovingly. And all this time, there was a big smile on his face. He used to currse his life in childhood, but now he got everything that he could ever wish for.
He never knew he will be this happy after everything that happened.
The children's parents called them back in but Prachi continued to enjoy the snow. Ranbir came to her and held her by the arms. He turned her to face him and captured her lips. Prachi was surprised at first and stood frozen, but the tingling sensation of his lips against her broke her shock and she reciprocated the kiss.
The kiss was slow and both could feel each other's love for their partner in that one kiss. It was just like their first kiss. It felt magical and the romatic atmosphere around them made it more special.
Next morning:
Ranbir was the first one to wake up. He already took his bath and noticed how Prachi wrapped herself in the blanket as she was feeling cold.
Her nose was a bit red, so he knew she develped a cold for staying too long in snow. He went to prepare hot chocolate for both of them and came back.
He opened the curtains to llok at the view. The entire city was in white, covered with snow. He felt two tiny arms hugged him from behind. He brought her in front.
Prachi, watching the view:'Woww... This looks so beautiful. That's why I love winter season. Everythinf seems so white and fluffy.'
He chulckled but stopped as soon as she sneezed.
Ranbir:'Bless you... And that's why I dislike them, because you always catch a cold. And when you know you will catch cold why did you play in snow yesterday?'
Prachi sneezed once more and he handed her some tissues.
Prachi:'Didn't you.... (sneeze) hear that we should..... (sneeze) in first snow ..... (sneeze) of the season.'
Ranbir:'Bless you and this, Miss Oberoi, it is said in India for rains.'
Prachi:'Here it applies... (sneeze) for snow... (sneeze).'
He gave her the hot chocolate.
Ranbir:'You will feel better.'
Prachi, sneezing:'Thank you.' She sat on the bed fully enjoying the hot chocolate.
Prachi:'You should give me hot chocolate everyday in winter.'
Ranbir was also drinking:'You and your chocolate.'
He felt a pillow hit him as he finished.
Prachi, cutely threatening him:'Don't come in between me and my chocolate.'
Ranbir:'Ok ma'am.'
They both enjoyed the hot chocolate.
He noticedd her chocolate mustache and came close to her.
Ranbir:'You are chocolately again.'
He wiped it with his finger and they both chuckled remembering that day. He placed a small peck on her lips.
But Prachi moved back immediately.
Prachi:'You will get sick as well.'
Ranbir:'I don't mind. I get to stay in bed with you.' She lightly pushed him away.
Ranbir searched some pills and handed it to her.
Ranbir:'Have it and sleep. I will go and pick up Dida, Aryan and Shahana.'
Prachi:'Even i want to come.'
He nodded no due to her health. She looked at him with the puppy eyes but in vain. He didn't melt this time.
Ranbir:'Not today, you rest and then you will be able to welcome them properly when they come here.'
Prachi:'Ok.' She climbed on the bed once again and wrapped herself in the blanket again.
Ranbir:'I told your parnts, they will come soon then I will leave.' She nodded already falling in a slumber.
He kissed her forehead and went to get ready.
