MYTHILI:

We were walking in the sand with bare feet having small talks. At some point Arjun stopped walking. I turned to see him on one knee with a ring in his hand.

"Marry me princess. Make this prince charming a happy man. I know I can't live without you. Please marry me. I promise I will watch all the movies with you even though I won't like them." He said making me laugh. I smiled through my teary eyes and walked to him.

"Yes! I will marry you."
"Yay.!" He said shouting and slid the ring onto my finger. He crashed my lips kissing me deeply. After a few minutes we pulled apart for the much needed air.

"Spend the night with me" he asked with his forehead touching mine.
"Okay" I said in a small whisper, still he heard it. Kissing me again he took my hand and led me to the car.

In no time we reached his house, no mansion. It's so big that my mouth opened on its own in awe. A huge garden surrounded the house. Lamps were scattered all around the garden. The light spread all over the garden giving an aesthetic look to the mansion. I could spend all my days and nights in this garden sprawled on the lawn.

"Wow.!"
"You like it?" He said placing his chin on my shoulder hugging me from back. "It's beautiful. I love it." I said leaning onto him.
"Come let's go inside" he said taking my hand, we walked to the door.

A maid opened the door for us.
The inside of the house was like walking into a movie set. I could literally hear that high pitched female voice singing la la aaa tune.

It's such a huge hall, stairs on the right that leads to the next floors. Walking into the hall, it lead to the dinning room that next opens into a kitchen.

Arjun lead us to the first floor and into a bedroom. It was huge and has a huge balcony. A king sized bed in the middle of the room, to the right is the balcony that has a swing at one side and a small coffee table infront of the swing. The room has two doors on the left which probably leads to bathroom and a walk in closet.

Closing the door behind us , he attacked me with his lips kissing me fervently. Lifting me bridal style he gently placed me on the bed and took of his coat. He was on top of me, supporting his weight on his elbows, he looked deeply into my eyes.

"Stop know itself, if you feel it's too fast. I don't know if I can control myself anymore after this." He said breathing heavily.
"You talk too much. Stop talking and continue" I said pulling him to me by his collar. "Ho! Is that so? Then we should get back to work" he said smirking and crashed his lips on mine.

ARJUN:

I woke up to my ringing mobile. I squinted my eyes to clear the sleep off of my eyes. It was pretty late in the morning. Sun was already blazing.

Stretching I looked down to see my love sleeping with her head on my chest, legs tangled with mine, a blanket covering her till her bossom. Seeing her bare shoulders almost made me loose control again. She looked ethereal.

Kissing her forehead, I laid her down. Taking my mobile, I walked out of the room checking my phone to see it's Shalini calling.

"Good morning Shalini." I said picking the call.
"Arjun ! Mythi is not at her flat. Her phone is not reachable."
"Shalu.."

"Boby sair he hasn't seen her since office and last saw was with you."
"Shalini listen"
"She said she was going out for dinner with you. She hasn't come yet.!" She rambled panicked not giving a chance for me to speak.

"Shalini stop. Stop talking and listen to me." I yelled to make her stop talking. "Mythili is with me. We are in my house. Her phone might have been dead. Don't panic. She is alright. She is sleeping now. I will let her know that you tried reaching her" I said in one go to make her stop worrying.

"Oh.! Thank God. I was worried thinking something happened." She said relaxing.
"Please take care of her Arjun. She really needs someone to think about her. It's always she who takes care of everyone." Concern clear in her voice.
That's true though. "I will" I promised to her and to myself.

.

I went to my room with two coffee mugs. The bed was empty. Turning to my left I saw bathroom door slightly ajar. Placing the mugs on the side table I walked to the bathroom and pushed the door open slightly.

She was is in a white fluffy bathrobe, freshly washed face, wet hair, it never gets bored to watch her beautiful face. She was checking herself in the mirror running her fingers gently on her neck with a slight blush on her face.

I went to her and hugged her from backside. "Good morning love.!" I whispered and kissed her neck. That's when I saw her neck has many red patches. Oops..!

"Does it hurt? I am sorry love. I didn't realise..." I started. She cut me off by kissing my lips. "Don't. I am perfectly fine." She said smiling.
"Then I should admit, these look good on you" I said smirking.
She laughed hitting me on my chest.

"Shalini tried reaching you. You should talk to her. She was panicking like anything when she phoned to know where you were." I said chuckling.
"Oh shit! I forgot to charge my phone. I am dead now." She said taking her phone that's on the couch.

.

"Love.."
"Hmmm" she just hummed, her concentration on her phone, that was switched on now. I took her hands in mine to gain her attention.

She was startled by my action and looked at me to speak.
"Move in with me?" I asked nervously. "Please?"
"But Arjun.."
"We are engaged right, there's nothing wrong in staying together. We are anyways going to get married in a few months." I said hoping it will convince her.

"I know that Arjun. But are you really sure you want be with me from now itself. What if you loose interest in me? I don't know..! If I come to think of it, no one really wants to be with me, everyone feels I am so overbearing over a period of time. But you want to be with me? What if you start hating me after some days?" She rambled, fear clear in her voice.

I took her face in my palms and kissed her to stop her talking.
"Don't ever say that you are overbearing. I love you. Get that into your over imaginative brain. Never ever ever will I get bored of you. Do you understand?" I said angrily.

She was quite for sometime, looking at my face, searching for whatever she was thinking. And she slowly nodded her head followed by a small whisper of 'yes'. Still I heard it.
"God I love you so much. " I said kissing her passionately.
