The next day Meher invited Vihaan to his home for their date.
He greeted her parents and had a small talk with Naina.
Meher then took him to the terrace and he was in awe.
She had placed a mattress with a lot of pillows and blanket under a shed. She had placed a laptop on a stool and a lot of nachos and chips packets along with coke was kept there.
She had decorated it with fairy lights.
"Ye tumne kia?"
(You did this?)
She nodded and he kissed her head.
"This is so beautiful."
She smiled and then settled in the blanket and she snuggled into him.
They spent half an hour deciding which movie to watch and finally settled on a light romcom.
As they approached the interval it started to rain heavily.
Meher squealed and started getting out of the blanket. Vihaan held her hand and asked.
"Kaha?"
(Where?)
"Baarish ho rahi hai."
(Its raining.)
"Exactly! Baarish ho rhi hai. Kaha jaa rhi ho?"
(Its raining. Where are you going?)
"Bhigne! Aur aap bhi chal rhe hai."
(To get drenched. And you are also coming.)
She pulled him excitedly and he chuckled. They danced in the rain.
He twirled her around and pulled her closer. She kept her hands on his shoulder and he kept his hands on her waist and they swayed like that.
The moment was so beautiful. There was nothing sexual yet it was so romantic and intimate.
**************************************
About two months later, Vihaan along with Meher, her mother and her father were sitting in her parents' room with her father's physiotherapist.
Her father had recovered well and could slowly speak now. The physiotherapist was helping him move his leg muscles and helping him stand.
It took him many attempts but he did stand on his legs without any support for a moment but then sat with a thud.
The therapist told them that it was a tremendous improvement. Meher and Naina had tears in their eyes seeing him standing after so long.
Meher went and hugged him hard.
"Papa!"
She sobbed in his chest and he patted her head. Vihaan went to see off the doctor and also to give them some privacy.
He was just closing the door after the doctor when Meher launched herself in his arms.
He lost his balance from her sudden move but carefully held her and stabled himself.
"Whoa!"
He chuckled and hugged her hard. She pulled back slightly and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
She leaned in and joined their lips in a sweet kiss. He was taken aback at first but quickly regained and kissed her back holding her tight.
They shared a passionate kiss and he put her down slowly as they pulled back for breath.
He looked at her and saw her eyes closed with a soft pink hue on her cheeks.
"Wow!"
He whispered huskily and she blushed even more and hid her face in his neck.
**************************************
Another month had passed and Ajay was much better now. He could walk with the help of a stick but his physiotherapy was still going on.
Vihaan and Meher were at her home and were sitting at the terrace under the shed on a mattress cuddling into each other.
Meher was watching a movie while Vihaan was more interested in teasing and kissing her.
He was distracting her by kissing her cheek and neck.
Meher was pretending to watch the movie while her head was somewhere else. She had been wanting to ask him something from quite a time now but didn't know how to.
Gaining a little courage she held his hand and turned to him.
"Vihaan mujhe-"
(Vihaan I-)
He cut her off by kissing her lips repeatedly. She held his face in her hands and looked at him while he frowned.
"Listen to me. Mujhe kuch baat krni hai."
(I want to talk about something.)
"Thodi der mai nhi kr skte kya?"
(Can we not do it later?)
He said again leaning in. She pushed his face away and shook her head.
"Nhi. Abhi krni hai."
(No. Right now.)
"Achha bolo."
(Ok tell me.)
He said making a whining face which made her smile a little.
Now that he was listening and she had his attention it seemed a little difficult to say.
"Marry me Vihaan."
She finally said and closed her eyes releasing a breath and then looked at him. He blinked looking at her. Once. Twice. Thrice.
"What!?"
He couldn't believe whether what he heard was correct or his heart was playing tricks.
"Will you marry me?"
She repeated and this time a smile slowly started to form on his face which soon turned into a wide grin.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
He said and hugged her hard making her smile.
"You have no idea how happy i am. I love you so much Meher. So so much."
"I love you Vihaan."
She said still being in his arms and he tightened his hold on her.
They informed her parents and they were very happy. Naina was so excited. She had been shipping them since Meher had started telling her about him and was the most happy with the news of the two being together.
Vihaan went home and informed his family too about their decision and again a loud squeals and chaos erupted.
**************************************
The the next day their families met with the priest to finalise the wedding dates.
The dates were fixed after a month. Since the time was less everything was done in hurry and time went by quick.
No one realised when the month was over the next day is their engagement.
They were going to the venue where the functions were to be held.
Meher and her family were already there when the Singhanias reached. Meher was in her room with one of her cousins.
Vihaan wanted to see her once before the functions start because he knew he would not be able to see her after that till the wedding.
But seems like their cousins had made it a mission to not let them meet.
FIrst his cousins were not leaving him alone for even a second and when he finally freed himself somehow her cousin with whom she was sharing her room didn't allow him to even see her.
Vihaan went to his room whining and immediately dialed her number and to his bad luck her cousin picked it up.
"Thodi tasalli jiju. Kuch hi din ki toh baat hai. Phir toh ye aapki hi hai na. Tab tak thoda sabr."
(Little patience jiju. Its a matter of some days. Then she is all yours. Till then be patient.)
She said and disconnected the call giggling and Vihaan groaned in annoyance.
