The Path to Forever

Part 12

Their bodies swayed together, their movements fluid and natural, as if they had been dancing together for years. Karan's hand slid up her spine, his fingers tracing the delicate line of her dress, sending a shiver down her spine. Tejasswi's heart pounded in her chest, her breath hitching as she leaned into him. The world around them faded away until it was just the two of them, lost in the rhythm of their hearts.

As the music swelled, Karan spun her around, the fabric of the dress fluttering around her legs. Tejasswi felt the heat of his gaze on her bare back, his hand resting lightly on her waist. She looked up at him, her eyes shining with a mix of excitement and nerves. Karan pulled her closer, their bodies pressed together as they moved in perfect harmony.

Their dance grew more intimate with every beat, their eyes never leaving each other's. Tejasswi could feel the pounding of his heart against her chest, the warmth of his breath on her neck. Her own heart raced, matching the tempo of the music, as she lost herself in the moment. It was a dance of passion, a silent conversation between their bodies that spoke of the love growing between them.

Karan's hand tightened around her waist, and with a gentle tug, he led her to the far right corner of the rooftop, where the fairy lights had been strung up to create a cozy nook. The shadows danced around them, the lights casting a soft, romantic glow on their faces. It was as if they had been transported to a different world, one where only the two of them existed.

The music grew softer as they approached, the beat of their hearts becoming the only rhythm that mattered. Tejasswi's breath caught in her throat as she took in the sight before her. The corner was a vision of beauty, adorned with fresh flowers and candles that flickered in the gentle night breeze. A plush blanket lay on the ground, surrounded by an array of pillows in deep shades of blue and purple. It was a declaration of love, a sanctuary created just for them.

Karan stopped dancing and turned to face her, his eyes searching hers. He took both her hands in his, his thumbs tracing circles on her knuckles as he spoke. "Tejasswi," he began, his voice thick with emotion, "I know we've only just met, but I feel like I've known you all my life."

Tejasswi's heart swelled at his words, the love she felt for him reflected in his gaze. She nodded, unable to find the words to express what was in her heart. Karan took a deep breath before continuing. "I know this is all happening so fast, but I don't want to wait another moment to make you mine. Will you marry me?"

Tejasswi's eyes widened, the question hanging in the air like a ripe fruit ready to be plucked. She felt a mix of surprise and elation, her heart racing with the excitement of their newfound love. She nodded, a tear slipping down her cheek. "Yes," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the soft music. "Yes, Karan, I will marry you."

He leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss that was gentle yet filled with a passion that seemed to burn through the very fabric of the universe. It was a kiss that spoke of a love that transcended time and space, a love that was meant to be. Tejasswi melted into him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she gave herself over to the feeling.

When they finally pulled apart, their breaths mingling in the cool night air, Karan's eyes searched hers, seeking reassurance. Tejasswi's smile was all the answer he needed, her eyes sparkling with joy and love. He took her hand in his, leading her to the beautifully decorated corner of the rooftop. The candles cast a warm, flickering glow over the plush blanket and velvety pillows, creating an intimate space that was a stark contrast to the chaos of the house below.
