It had been around a month since Kiara and Ivaan were dating. Kiara couldn't even imagine that Ivaan could be this romantic.

He was the perfect boyfriend and she wished that their relationship remained the way it is.

Also, she had an inkling that he was going to propose soon. She had once borrowed his laptop for some work and he had by mistakenly not closed the tabs he was working on.

She saw a tab where he was searching for ring designs. 

Today, they were going to meet Aadrik as he was insisting on being properly introduced to Kiara.

Kiara sat on the passenger seat while Ditya sat on the backseat and they drove off to where they were going to meet.

It was a lounge. Ivaan saw Aadrik and Anay and smiled at them.

He snaked an arm around Kiara's waist and moved towards them. Ivaan introduced Kiara to them. Ditya hugged Anay and the two went inside talking about God knows what.

They took their seats and ordered something to eat.

They chitchatted and got to know about each other. The dj too started and Ditya asked everyone to dance. They said they would join in some time. She shrugged and pulled Anay along and the two danced like crazy.

Kiara noticed Aadrik looking at Ditya and smiling a little too much. She motioned it to Ivaan and he looked at Aadrik with his eyes narrowed.

Aadrik looked at him and shifted uncomfortably. He sipped on his drink and smiled which seemed like he was constipated.

Kiara chuckled a bit and Ivaan smiled looking at her. He kissed her head and then looked at Aadrik as if saying 'we need to talk'.

Kiara could feel the tension building between them and so she held Ivaan's hand and started pulling him on the dance floor.

He smiled widely and immediately started dancing with her.

**************************************

Kiara went to the terrace when she saw Ditya coming down. She knew that the brother-sister duo loved to spend their time together so didn't disturb them.

Ivaan was leaning towards the railing. She walked towards him and hugged him from behind.

He smiled and held her hands. He knew she would be coming.

She smiled and rested her cheek on his back.

"Ivaan?"

She said remembering something. He hummed and she continued.

"I think Aadrik bhai likes Ditya. Maybe even love. I mean the way he looks at her."

Ivaan frowned and turned to look at her.

"What!?"

She nodded and continued.

"Lekin shayad wo aapki wajah se confess nhi karenge."

(But i don't think he will confess because of you.)

Ivaan turned around again and said.

"What nonsense? Aisa kuch nhi hai."

(Its nothing like that.)

He said trying to think about the possibility of it. Aadrik would tell him if it was anything like that.

Kiara moved in front of him and said.

"Aur agar hua toh?"

(And what if it is?)

Ivaan looked at her and then looked away.

"I don't think aisa kuch hai. I know Aadrik. Wo aisa nhi karega."

(I don't think it is. He would never do any such thing.)

Kiara frowned and asked.

"What do you mean aisa nhi karega. Pyaar kya soch samajh ke kiya jaata hai? Aapne mujhse soch samajhkar pyaar kia hai?"

(What do you mean any such thing. Do you love someone after thinking? You loved me after thinking something?)

He looked at her and said.

"Aisa nhi hai. Hamari baat alag hai Kiara."

(Its not that. We are different case Kiara.)

"Achha! Wo kaise? Mera koi bada bhai nhi hai isliye?"

(Really! How? I don't have an elder brother?)

She asked with a serious exrpression. He pulled her closer and said.

"You know i didn't mean that. I just-maine kabhi ye socha hi nhi ki wo dono ek dusre se pyaar kar skte hai. I am just a little shocked."

(I never even thought that they love each other.)

He said and turned her around. He pulled her closer and snaked his arms around her stomach. She rested her head on his chest.

"Do you think i should talk to them?"

Kiara shook her head and said.

"Nhi. Let them confess to each other first."

(No.)

He smiled and kissed her head. They stayed like that for quite some time. 

"Ek baat bolu?"

(Should i say something?)

He asked suddenly and she hummed with her eyes closed.

"I don't like your name."

She turned around in his arms and frowned at him.

"Matlab?"

(Means?)

"It would sound much better as Kiara Ivaan Shekhawat. Nhi?"

(No?)

She smiled naughtily and asked.

"Ye aapka propose krne ka tareeka hai?"

(This is your way of proposing?)

"Keh skte hai. Par ek aur tareeka hai mere paas."

(You can say. But there is another way.)

She frowned slightly and gasped loudly when he got down on his knee and held out a ring in front of her.

"Will you Miss Kiara Gupta permanently change your name to Mrs. Kiara Ivaan Shekhawat and give me the chance to be yours forever?"

Kiara smiled at his proposal and bend down to his level and hugged him tightly.

"Yes i will."

She whispered and both of them smiled widely. Ivaan tightened his hold on her and kissed her head.

He made her wear the ring and kissed her softly.

**************************************

The next day they told his parents about their decision and Ditya teased him saying.

"Kuch jyada jaldi nhi hai aapko bhai?"

(Aren't you in a hurry?)

"Haan toh?"

(Yes so?)

He said pulling Kiara closer and everyone chuckled at him.

The priest was called and the wedding dates were decided without any delay.

The priest gave them two dates. One was a month later and the other was around 5 months later.

Ivaan without any further delay asked them to finalise the former. Tanvi asked Kiara and she too said that she was fine with the one within a month.

Ivaan grinned widely making everyone chuckle. The boy was so whipped.

Dhriti teased Ivaan saying that Kiara should live with them till marriage.

"Nhi. I mean kyu?"

(No. I mean why?)

"Kyu matlab. Riwaaz hota hai. Ladka ladki shaadi se pehle ek saath nhi rehte."

(Why means. It is the ritual. Boy and girl do not meet before marriage.)

She said teasingly and everyone suppressed their laughs at Ivaan's expressions.

"Lekin-"

(But-)

"Lekin kya? Aisa kya karna hai jo iske waha rehte huye nhi kr skta?"

(What but? What do you want to do that you can't do with her staying there?)

"Ai-aisa kuch nhi hai. Mai bas-mai baat kaise karunga usse?"

(No-nothing like that. I just- I'll just talk to her?)

"Baat krne ke liye phone hai na beta."

(There is phone for talking.)

"Haan lekin-"

(Yes but-)

"Lekin kya?"

(What but?)

"Face to face baat-"

"Face to face kyu baat krni hai? Aisa kya krna hai face to face?"

(Why face to face talk? What do you have to do face to face?)

"Nhi aisi baat nhi hai-"

(No its not like that-)

"Toh phir kaisi baat hai?"

(Then what is it like?)

"Aunty yaar!"

Ivaan whined knowing that however good lawyer he was he could never win in an argument with Dhriti. 

Everyone laughed at his expressions. Ivaan too chuckled nervously.

"Aur waise bhi Kiara waha jyada comfortable nhi hogi. I mean wo Aadrik aur Anay se itna close nhi hai na."

(And moreover Kiara won't be comfortable there. She isn't that close to Anay and Aadrik.)

Dhriti nodded mockingly and said.

"Aur tumse toh bhut jyada close hai na. Koi baat nhi mai Ditya ko bhi waha le jaati hu. Ab thik hai?"

(Yes and she is very close to you. No worries i'll take Ditya with me too. Now fine?)

Everyone laughed again at his expressions. It was so fun to tease him.
