My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra - Volume 1 Chapter 519 My Proposal 1
The next day after college Sony went to the restaurant which Kunal sent the address of but it is all empty. The restaurant is on the top floor of a hotel building with a nice beach view and high sky.
Sony didn’t get time to prepare herself for a date beforehand. She dressed in her usual clothes, a pair of white jeans and a wine red colored t shirt and her college back pack is still with her.
The restaurant is all decorated in beautiful white roses and with candles everywhere. Sony walked inside and a waiter welcomed and showed her to a table and left the place.
On the table there are scented candles and a pair of plates. There are no one around. She sat there but she couldn’t see Kunal. She already kind of understood what was happening there and felt quite nervous.
When she was about to call him she saw him walk towards her with a bouquet of red roses in his hands. He wore a white shirt with vlue jeans and his hair falling in his head and hr looked too handsome that she swallowed her own saliva. She felt embarrassed as she didn’t dress according to the ocassion. She looked out of the place.
There’s a bright smile on his face and she calmed herself saying “It’s okay Sony, It’s totally okay. You already know he wants to get married and your parents are already discussing about it. So it’s fine. Don’t be nervous”.
He walked towards her and his smile vanished immediately. His eyes are full of concern and nervousness. He put the bouquet on the table and asked with worry “Are you okay ? Why are sweating so much ?”
Sony took a deep breathe and said “No, no. I am fine.” and forced a smile onto her lips. Kunal took a deep breathe and said “I am sorry. You must be nervous.”
She shook her head and sat with a smile. He gave her the flowers and she said “They are beautiful”. Kunal sat on his knees and took her hand into his. He took a deep breathe said looking at her face “Will you marry me ?” and Sony nodded her head with a smile.
He took a heavy breathe in relief. He stood up and asked “Thank you so much”. He then took out a ring from his pockets and showed her.
It is a platinum band with a diamond at the center. Sony looked at him with both happiness and surprise. He smiled saying “I know it’s your favorite”. She gave him her hand and he slid the ring onto her finger.
They sat and the waiter served them the foods that Kunal previously ordered. The foods are nothing special but all are Sony’s favorites. A bottle of red wine and a pineapple flavored cake.
She tasted it and said “Actually I am hungry” and Kunal signalled for the waiter. And a few seconds later he brought a pot of hot mutton Biryani and placed on the table.
Sony looked at him with shock while the waiter served them food. Sony asked “What happened ? Did you plan everything beforehand?” and he shook his shoulders.
She asked “How did you know my favorite food ?” and he replied with a proud face “I did my homework darling”.
She smiled and he said “Come. Let’s start.” and they started eating. Sony said “I am really surprised and more than that am truly amazed, but you should have told me earlier, atleast you would have dropped a hint. I would have dressed properly, see how I am”.
He said “You look beautiful darling. Well It’s all thanks to your friends. They helped me in arranging all this in this short time and shopping for the ring. I heard you liked it last time you guys went shopping.”
She smiled and asked “But I think it’s a couple set.” and he nodded saying “The other one is in my pocket”. She took the ring and slid it on his finger.
She ate in a haste as she is so hungry. She skipped lunch that day as she went out to buy him a gift. Her friends are tired and when they told her that they will accompany her but she denied seeing their exhausted faces and moreover they didn’t insist. They called Kunal to make sure to help him in advance.
Kunal chuckled “You sure like this Biryani” and she nodded “That’s true.” Kunal said “I am so sorry. I didn’t think of proposing to you earlier. I spoke to your parents first and only after I saw your grumpy face that day, I realised I did something wrong. Thank god Barun told me about Naveen proposing to your friend and then I met with your friends.”
Sony continued eating while listening to him and he said “Dadisaa has been asking me to set a date to meet your parents and I have been postponing it because of this.”
Sony said “I didn’t expect this big or extravagant proposal but tobe honest I did think of you asking me. You made my day. That day Naveen bhai proposed to Brahmi, I was moved to tears and Shri always complains that she didn’t get a proposal. I didn’t want tobe like that too.”
