"Lets order our dinner" He says, making me realize that I don't have my headscarf. I only have a shawl draped around- 'Wait....Where is my shawl?' I panic looking around.

"What happened love?" He asks looking at my panic filled eyes.

"My shawl...I think it fell somewhere while  coming here and I don't even have my headscarf. I don't want anyone to see me..." my ranting is abruptly stopped as he places a finger on my lips.

"Shh...Calm down...Do you think I would let anyone see you in this attire let any man?" He asks caressing my face. I shake my head. "Then trust me, there is nothing for you to worry about. Our dinner is already arranged just before we arrived. If you look beside our table, you will find it there." He says motioning to my left. And indeed there was a small table with all the dishes covered under the lids.

"Wait a minute, let me arrange it on the table" he says, getting up.

"I'll help you" I try getting up but one look from him, makes me sit on my place.

"And your shawl is in the car." He says arranging he food on the table making me sigh in relief.

"Umm...Did you book this whole beach just for our dinner?" I ask, as I curiously scan my gaze around me but find none.

"No" He replies.

"Then why don't I find anyone here?"

"Cause I own this beach." My mouth gapes open at his declaration as he smirks at me amusingly.

'Talk about opulence and grandeur.....This man is the perfect definition of it...'

"Start eating, will you? And stop stressing your little brain with unimportant topics..." He gestures towards my plate serving the food.

I pout at his comment, but nonetheless start eating. As soon as I took a bite, I felt all my taste humming in happiness. The food is heavenly delicious.

"You didn't tell me, how was your first day at university?" He inquires, while eating.

"It was good" I reply, as he hums in response.

We talk randomly between our dinner enjoying each other's company. The moon's light falling on the water appears like a silver spread across the darkness, as it guides through the night with her brightness.

As I was busy looking at the calm sea waves, I feel something cold on my neck. Looking down, I gasp as I see a beautiful emerald necklace adorning my neck. I look up to find Zacharias hovering over me, his hands resting on my shoulders, as a warm smile plays on his lips.

"Zach-Zacharias..." I look at him dumbfounded.

"You like it?"

"It's so beautiful, but you don't have to spend your money in buying such jewelries. You've already given me one...." I protest.

"I don't mind spending money, when I am buying it for my wife....And I love to spoil you....You will be getting a lot more from me, so get habituated to it." I blush at his statement.

Next he fetches a small box from his pocket before opening it. My eyes distend as I see a beautiful platinum ring with a sparkling light yellow diamond held in between a pair of wings. He takes my right hand and slips the ring on my finger as I look at him intently. Raising my hand, he kisses my knuckles, making my cheeks burn red as a shiver runs down my spine. But his next action completely leaves me befuddled as he removes my wedding ring and slips it into my pendant chain.

'Wait....when did he remove it?'

"This is how you are gonna wear it for the collage." He says, removing the ring from the chain and placing it back on my finger.
