Eric said to himself ‘I have been waiting for
days to say to
her how much I loved her. Every night I closed my eyes her thoughts and face drift
in my imagination. I have never felt like this before. A rush to meet her every
moment, a need to hug her and tell her how much I love her. She is the best
thing that has ever happened to me. Whenever I see her ever smiling face I feel
as if the world is completely devoid of problems and worries. The entire world melts,
and drifts into her’
Eric kept saying to himself ‘I want to make this
special! I
want to make it the best moment of my life’. He pulled out the
diamond studded ring given to him by his mother. “Mom would have been so
proud had she been alive to see this day. This is the same ring that dad had
proposed mom with. It is special day in my life.. A big day and hope
everything goes well.” Saying this he looked into mother’s
portrait and said “Mom bless me...and hope all goes well today...”
Under
the soothing moonlit sky he approached outside the beach house. It was a
wonderful calm night. The sea was calm and the sky was studded with stars. He looked at his
favourite constellation at blinked... “Surprise..Surprise...”
As
expected he found Ariel sitting in the beach with the waves washing her feet.
She looked cherubic as if God has blessed her in all his true form. Her hair
was dangling on her shoulders, her eyes bright as if they had the power to
light the darkest corners of the earth. He walked towards Ariel and said... “Do you miss me as much
as I miss you..?” Ariel replied. “I miss you every moment. Never a second
passed in the day when your thought does not cross my mind. Eric, let us take a
walk on the beach. Look at the sea, how serene and calm it looks. Look at the
moon just about to dip into the ocean floor. Hold my hands let us take a walk”
Saying
this they walked on the sand, with the soft mud brushing on their foot. The
soft cold water is cleaning
their feet. “Catch
me Eric~ catch
me.” Saying
this Ariel ran on the beach. Eric started running after her. “Steady! steady Ariel. I will get hold you~”. He also ran after her. Sometimes they caught
each other. Sometimes
they hugged and then they started running again.
Running
for a while they entered into a woody forested area close to the beach. “I love this place” said Ariel and then rushed into the
forest. “Careful
Ariel, you will trip. Be careful~!” Just as he said Ariel
got caught in one of the roots of a large tree and went flying into the air and
crashed.
Eric
ran towards her shouting “Oh my God what have you done to yourself. You are bleeding!! Can you hear me..? Ariel Please open your eyes!!! open your eyes..” saying this he held
Ariel’s head in his hand and started crying. She had a cut on her forehead and
was bleeding. Eric then said “I am madly in love with you Ariel, Please don’t
leave me anywhere.. I
would become lonely without you... Open your eyes Ariel... Open your eyes..” He took a small
handkerchief from his pocket and tied it on her head. Ariel then opened her
eyes. “Eric,
I love you too...” Both
of them kissed. A
long long passionate
kiss.
“Eric I am not
leaving you anywhere. I continue to eat your head as I always have been able to.
What would I do without you? Who would bear my nonsense hysterical stories .Who
else would laugh at my silly jokes and eat all the stupid things I cook. We
will grow old together, have kids, play with them and watch them lead a happy
wonderful life. Don’t you even dare to
leave me alone...”
Tears
swelled up into Eric’s eyes. He has never felt love and affection
life this before. Holding
her close to his body he asked with the ring in his hand he asked. “I have been in love
with you, since
the time I saw you. Somehow I feel there isn’t anyone else in this world with
whom I would be happy... So foolishly in love with. No one in this entire
world could understand and know me better as you know me. Your jokes however
silly are always adorable. Your anger and sulking however stupid
makes you look even more attractive. The love I feel for you is something,
however it is hard
to express even I’m really trying to... Please marry me Ariel
and make happy. I promise to take care of you every time, every moment and to be
with you always.. Marry
me Ariel! Please
marry me...!”
Both
looked into each other’s eyes, then Ariel put her hand forward. “Eric this ring looks so
good on me. Thanks for being there for me.” They both kissed.
