Ekansh's POV

"Something's bothering you today, what is it? It's not about this breach murder is it?" She asked looking deeply into my eyes.

"Well... I kinda messed up on something..." I said debating if I should tell her now or not.

"Tsk, just tell me... Remember what I said? It doesn't matter what it is, it's the intentions that matter." She said my heart melted.

What punya did I do in my past life?

"You're too sweet..." I said as she tapped her feet in anticipation. I made a mental note to tell her to always wear her payal.

"Just tell me!" she whined making me chuckle at her cuteness. "Fine fine..."

I took a deep breath, "I am very sorry that this isn't as romantic as you wished but with all sincere intentions, Akshita Hegade-Rai" I went down on one knee as her smile widened.

"Will you accept this promise ring? And be my girlfriend- I mean you already are, I don't know how this works-" I stumbled on my words here and there but she just smiled broadly and lifted me, hugging me tightly.

She sure does love hugs, and I am not complaining at all.

"Thank you." She said with her face in the crock of my neck, she sounded like she was almost crying.

I closed the ring box, pulling her out of the hug. Her eyes were filled with tears and a smile on her lips. She avoided eye contact, trying to stop the tears from spilling.

"Akshita, Akshita hey, hey..." I panicked looking at the tears as she just smiled at me.

She nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Then why are you crying,"

"Happy tears..." She said hugging me again.

I pulled her out of the hug and put the ring on her ring-finger. She smiled broadly taking a closer look at the ring.

"My god that's so gorgeous

"My god that's so gorgeous..." She said in awe, "Gorgeous ring for my gorgeous girlfriend." I said, being cheesy. She shook her head chuckling.

Her phone rang again, Amarpal calling.

"Just a minute..." She said but stood right there taking the call.

"Hello?... Aree, where is that now?... Tsk, can't you do your own work? ... Haan haaan ... I don't know what you're talking about send me the location I'll check ... Ha okay okay ... Bye." She said her expression irritated.

I checked the time, 10:28. Where is she going in his hour? She opened her phone and looked up at me.

"Hey, My brother just asked me to buy battery cells, where do you think I'll find them?... He's sent me a location that's 20 mins in the opposite direction..." She asked.
