Chereads / The Rise Of The Ice Queen / Chapter 22 - Kneeling Down

Chapter 22 - Kneeling Down

I did not realise that I fell asleep in the car. As I opened my eyes, I was startled at first since I was no longer in the car. In fact, I was on my bed and my clothes had changed!

This must be Nurhan's planning! Knew it! I mean… Who else?! Ugh, his ways can be irritating at times even though he meant it in a good way. So stubborn! Everything had to go his ways.

My body froze as I turned to my side. Nurhan was actually beside me, waiting for me to wake up. Gosh, don't tell me that he actually stayed there the whole time while I was sleeping.

He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "Hello, sleepy head."

I tried to push him, but he was very heavy. He laughed hard and eventually got up from the bed. He winked at me before walking out from my room. "Go shower and wear the dress that I've prepared for you in the dressing room. We're going to have one last dinner."

Huh? What one last dinner? I gasped. Please don't tell me that he's going to leave me. No-no-no. I don't want to leave him. I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM!!!

I tried to calm myself down with a shower. When I'm done, I reluctantly put on the red dress that had a low V-cut neckline. Makcik Yana came into my dressing room and helped me with my make-up.

Shit. I was sure that this was a farewell dinner. Isn't it obvious?! Elegant dress, ridiculously beautiful make-up and gorgeous accessories. I could not help but to pout my lips. Makcik Yana escorted me to the balcony.

The balcony was embellished amazingly to fit the candlelight dinner theme. There was now a round table for two. I looked at Nurhan that was smiling flirtatiously to me. He pulled my chair for me and only went back to his seat when I've already seated.

"What's with the duck face?" Nurhan raised his eyebrows.

My eyes were blurred with tears. "Please don't leave me, Nurhan. I've fallen in love with you. I've lost everything, but it did not matter when you're by my side. Please.. Please don't go."

Nurhan's big laughter made me pouted my lips again. "No, sweetheart. I'm not going anywhere."

"Then why are we having a candlelight dinner? It's so random. Of course I would think about such things!" I folded my arms.

His eyes were sparkling. Please, god. Please strengthen my faith.

"I want us to fall for one another again and again. And…" Nurhan stopped halfway and stood up. He walked to my side and knelt down.

Yes, yes. He knelt down before me.

Wait-wait. HE'S KNEELING DOWN?!!!

"And I would like to propose you. So sweetheart, will you marry me?" Nurhan took a ring out from his pants pocket.

I wanted to tell him that I needed time for all these. Even though I'm in love with him, I've known him only recently. Yes, my brain wanted me to deliver this message but…

"YES!! OF COURSE I WOULD LOVE TO MARRY YOU!!" I closed my mouth. SHIT. My heart, you're dumb! How could you say that without being hesitant?! My heart seemed to drop my pride as a woman.

BITCH.

Nurhan on the other hand, did not laugh. Instead, he stood up in excitement and pulled my hand to put a ring on my finger. He pecked my lips passionately and gave me a warm tight hug. "I might not be the best husband, but I can promise you one thing."

He did not continue for a moment. I took the chance to smell his cologne on his neck. Ah.. This is home.

"I promise you that I won't stop you from doing something that you want, sweetheart."
