Tushar and Zoya lived on everything they missed these years.

Talking hours about their lives, laughing and crying remembering them.

Tushar wanted to propose her for marriage but wanted to make it special for her. He had already wasted so much time because of his stupidity and now wanted to correct it in the perfect way.

But he was clueless in the department.

He thought and thought for hours and finally came to the conclusion that he needed someone's suggestion.

So he went to the only person who could help him and knew about his situation.

"You met her again and you two are back together and now you want to propose her for marriage?"

Tushar nodded and gulped nervously.

"Toh directly bol do na!"

(Then say it directly.)

Tushar groaned and said.

"Arjun! You are not helping. Agar directly hi bolna hota toh mai yaha kyu aata? I want to make it special."

(If I had to say it directly why would I come here?)

He said and Arjun looked at him thoughtfully.

"Toh mere paas kyu aaye ho? Mujhe ye sab nhi pata. Meri shaadi bhi bhaagke hui thi."

(Then why are you here? I don't know all this. I had a runaway marriage.)

He shrugged while Tushar glared at him.

"Arjun -"

"Bhai!"

They turned behind to see a sniffing Aisha looking at the two men teary eyed.

Arjun got in worry and Tushar cupped her face.

"Kya hua? Ro kyu rhi ho?"

(What happened? Why are you crying?)

She punched his chest and he looked at her confused when she glared at him.

"You loved someone from so long and you never told me. Aap bhut bure hai. Kya aap mujhse pyaar nhi krte bhai? Ya mujhe iss layak nhi samajhte ki mujhse apni baatein share kr ske?"

(You are very bad. You don't love me bhai? Aur don't consider me enough to tell me your feelings?)

Tushar opened his mouth to say something but she pushed him aside and turned to Arjun.

"Aur aap? You knew everything about this aur aapne bhi mujhse ye baat chhupai. You are going to sleep on the couch for a week now mister. Apni biwi se baatein chhupani aati hai na aapko."

(And you? And you hid it from me. You know how to hide things from your wife.)

She declared angrily and Arjun looked on helplessly.

"But that's not the concern here."

She turned and then beamed happily.

"Bhai you have a girlfriend! I am going to get a bhabhi!"

The two men looked at their sister and wife confused. Why was she behaving so weirdly.

"Now aapko ideas chahiye na how to propose her. Toh suno!"

(Now you need ideas of how to propose her. Now listen.)

She said and spend the next one hour telling him different ways in which he could propose her. Tushar made note of all of them very seriously.

In the end she demanded that she wanted to see Zoya's picture and smiled widely teasing her brother when he showed her his phone's wallpaper.

The whole day Tushar spent planning for her proposal. He wanted everything to be perfect.

A week later they got to know the reason behing Aisha's weird behaviour. She was a month pregnant.

Zoya was sitting in his cabin when Tushar came and put an envelope in her lap.

"Ye kya hai?"

(What is this?)

She looked at him confused. He smiled and said.

"Tickets to Mauritius."

Her frown deepened and she asked.

"Kiski?"

(Whose?)

"Kiski matlab? Hamari."

(What do you mean whose? Ours.)

She looked at him raising her eyebrows.

"Hamari? As in you and me?"

(Our?)

He nodded and she asked.

"Kyu?"

(Why?)

"Pre honeymoon. Practice you know."

He shrugged and said casually. She gasped and hit his chest and he laughed.

"There's a business meeting and we need to be there."

He said and she shook her head at this flirt.

Two days later they flew to Mauritius. The first of their landing they attended the meeting.

The second day there was a boat party a client was organising and they were invited.

Zoya got ready in her satin evening gown which had a sexy side slit. She kept her hair open and put her on favourite nude lipstick.

Tushar too was ready in his tux. Together the two looked like a badass couple.

Tushar placed a chaste kiss on her lips and they reached the venue.

Zoya frowned seeing the boat empty. She thought that maybe they were early but her frown deepened when the boat started.

"Tushar? I think we are on the wrong boat."

Tushar smiled and turned to her.

"This is the correct boat meri jaan."

Before she could ask what he meant he got on his knee and she gasped and looked at him with her mouth wide open.

"I know I have wasted a lot of time because of my misunderstanding. But not anymore....will you marry me Zoya?"

She looked at him teary eyed and nodded trying to control her sobs. She had been dreaming of this since years.

He took out the ring from the box and they heard loud claps. Zoya turned to see her parents and sister and Tushar's family on a video call connected to the TV.

"You guys knew about this?"

She asked and everyone nodded happily. Her parents has happy tears in their eyes.

Tushar made her wear the ring and gave her his. She did the same and everyone hooted.

Thanking everyone they disconnected the call and Zoya round her arms around him.

"When did you plan all this?"

"Two weeks back. You liked it?"

She kissed his cheek and said.

"I love it. And I love you."

He pressed his forehead to hers and nuzzled his nose with hers.

"I love you too."

Pulling her closer by her hips he pressed his lips on hers softly and felt her smile between the kiss.

The next day returned home and met their families.

They were deciding on the wedding dates and the priest gave them two.

One was 5 months later and another was an year later.

Aisha pouted asking them to select the other one because she didn't want to look fat in her only brother's wedding.

Tushar laughed and kissed her head and agreed. Zoya too smiled and agreed to her.

So it was decided the two were getting married after Aisha's delivery.

Tushar looked at Zoya and found her smiling softly at him. His own lips curled into a smile.
