Ideal Couple - II

It has been some good time after the last meeting. Days, Months, Years passed. Finally the day

13 February, 6.30 PM
Venue - a Cafe roadside, in a calm residential area.

"I am Sorry..."

"Thats alright, just 10 mins! You must be busy with your office schedule. Am I right?"

"Yes... No, not like that. Want to discuss something..."

"What would you like to have? Latte Kingsize ??"

"Still remembering..."(smile)

"One Latte Kingsize, one Aztec clean", he placed the order.

"You are still the same, same style of shirt, same coffee, everything is the same"

"Yup, Kuch chije kabhi nahi badalati"

Silence was creating a distant feel between them. Just the churping of birds, and some random vehicle passing from.

"Listen, want to ask something", finally she said.

"Wow, may be a date, on the occasion of great Valentine’s Day", he replied with a tint of sarcastic smile. "Your Latte, yes Aztec for me!"

"You might find it kiddish, but sometimes I don't relate to the logic of Valentine’s Day. A Day to celebrate Love. One cannot just compress the emotions in a single day.", She is searching for the words.

"I think the other way round. Everyone is so busy in the individual life, that one needs occasion to celebrate. This is just an occasion"

"I remember, it has been months" she said while seeping the coffee. "But today I want an evening. Evening for me, for us."

"It's all yours. No schedule from my side"

"I Love you, Love you for what you are. Love you for everything you did. and I don't believe in a day to express my emotions. When everyone is waiting for Feb the 14th, I want to ask you today, on the 13th of Feb, will you marry me?" She just said whatever she wanted to say.

"I always believe that we together form a perfect couple.", He smiled.

"It's Surprise for you as well", he kept a satin clad box on the table, opened it. It was a diamond ring.

"For the most beautiful girl on the planet!", he was on his knee's presenting the ring, typical filmy way. Stunned but she is more than happy to accept it.

Now she is searching her purse, a ring for him. Confused about how to offer that.

"Will love to have that, if it is for me... ", he smiled again.

That became the perfect evening; crafted for THE ideal couple!
