Billionaire’s Love From India

Lavanya saw fourteen shiny red heart-shaped balloons, with an alphabet written on each balloon in white color, floating out of the cardboard gift box. She read the alphabets written on the balloons, and got surprised when she made the sentence with those alphabets as it read, “Will You Marry Me?”

She turned to look for Eden only to find him sitting on one knee in front of her, holding two red heart-shaped balloons in each of his hands. Yes was written on one balloon, and No on the other in white color.

She was just looking at him without saying anything. He took a deep breath and smiled. “Lavanya, When I saw you for the first time, I felt something really special in my heart. The feeling which I will never be able to explain, but still, it was like my heart saying that this girl could change your dark life into a color-filled life, and my heart was right.”

She smiled as he continued, “You’ve made me a better person, and you’ve become the reason for my smile. Everyone feels that you’re the reason I changed myself, but it’s your love that changed me. I know you wanted to go back to your family in the beginning, and I should’ve let you go if you had asked for it, but still you chose to stay with me.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stopped them from flowing down on her cheeks as he added, “You made me understand that love is not about always showing the whole world how much we love each other, it’s about standing together, holding each other’s hand when the whole world leaves us alone, and in all moments of life, doesn’t matter if they’re moments full of happiness or difficulties. We just need to stay together, holding each other’s hand and assuring that everything will be fine.”

This time a tear rolled down her cheek, but she still didn’t say anything. He wanted to wipe it, but couldn’t as his hands were holding the balloons, so he said, “I always want to stay with you, holding your hand for a lifetime. So, Will You Marry Me? If it’s a yes, burst the balloon with no, and if it’s a no, which I know you will not say, burst the balloon with yes.”

Alice, the girl who escorted her to the backside of the farmhouse, came to her with a pin. She took the pin from her, and bursted the balloon on which no was written.

He smiled, stood up, and kissed her forehead. He hugged her. “You made me the luckiest guy in this world.”

Alice passed a velvet rose in Eden’s direction. He took it from her. He held the top of the rose and opened it, revealing a beautiful flower-shaped diamond ring.

He slid the ring on her ring finger, taking it out of the box. He kissed her hand. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She blushed.

“Finally, you said this.” He smiled, and she raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“Did you realize something?” He asked while touching the ring on her hand, and she looked at him in confusion. “What should I realize?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“What an extraordinary love story we have? After deciding to spend our life together, after falling in love with each other, and having our first kiss together, now you’re saying these three words which you should’ve said in the beginning.” He smiled, and she laughed. “It is indeed an extraordinary love story because I have never thought I would fall in love with a Britisher.”

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and started walking towards the table which was set up there. “Don’t forget I am half-Indian.”

They reached near the table. She observed that the entire lighting, and the decorations with flowers and candles were giving a romantic feel.

He pulled out a chair for her, and sat on his chair after making sure that she was comfortable. Their dinner arrived soon. Alice poured red wine into the two glasses for them.

He raised his glass. “Cheers to us and our love.”

“Cheers!” Lavanya smiled while taking a sip of wine. They started enjoying their dinner happily.

After they were done with dinner, a man appeared there with a cake in his hand. He placed the cake on the table and left after Congratulating both of them.

Eden stood from his chair. He forwarded his hand in Lavanya’s direction who stood up, placing her hand in his. He held her in his arms as she stood in front of him, and they cut the cake together.

He fed her a tiny piece of cake, kissing her on the cheek. They happily left the farmhouse to reach home when their special night came to an end.

Lavanya had already slept in the car as she was tired because of wearing high heels. Eden held her in his arms in bridal style. He entered her room. He laid her on her bed, took off her high heels, covered her with the blanket and left the room, placing a kiss on her forehead.

She woke up in the middle of the night. She got surprised when she found herself sleeping in the gown. She removed the blanket from her, and her eyes fell on the diamond ring on her finger, which was shining on her finger.

She caressed it while remembering all the moments of her magical proposal. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Later, she changed into comfortable clothes, and went to sleep with a huge smile on her face.

Next day in the evening, Lavanya was enjoying her hot chocolate with cookies, sitting in the living room when she heard the sound of two cars stopping outside the mansion, and later heard someone laughing loudly.

She went out of the living room to look out for the person who was laughing, only to find Jaime, Ray, Edward, and Kristina standing there, looking at her with huge smiles on their faces. She smiled, but she was a little confused thinking why they all were here together?
