Reyhaan moved towards her and said while offering her his hand, "Come with me."
Sora accepted his hand, once Reyhaan hold her hand he took her to the table. She knew it was all for her and he prepared it. She was surprised because of his efforts but at the same time, she felt pleased too. The sadness in her heart from a few days before disappeared instantly.
Reyhaan took her to the table slowly, by holding her hand. Suddenly he started to toss fistfuls of rose petals at her every step. Petals were kept on bowls which were kept on the stand at passing every step. She was now walking over the red velvety narrow road made of rose petals. She was delicately stepping when she was walking over those petals. She was feeling happy and special and had a pleasant smile on her face. Reyhaan was happy to see her smiling and gave out a sigh of relief.
Their date was not a normal date like other couples. He is yet to ask her and she is yet to say yes to him! They were not sure about each other's exact feelings till now.
When they reached the table, Reyhaan let go of her hand. He pulled out one chair for her and helped her to sit comfortably then he sat on the other chair opposite to her.
Sora was silent as she didn't know what to say. Then Reyhaan looked at her and asked, "You must be hungry."
Sora nodded but said sheepishly, "Yes!"
Sometime before she was depressed because Reyhaan was about to propose to some other woman. Now she is at that place on her second date and that was with the man she liked! So her hunger come back which was suppressed almost for two days!
Reyhaan looked at her and he knew she is relaxed now because of what was happening. He didn't want to hold back himself and wanted to go with the flow. He asked Sora to cut the cake. Sora once again looked at the cake and she frowned.
"Amm, Reyhaan isn't our first meeting did happen on a working day, and if four weeks completion then it will be tomorrow right!"
"En...officially it's tomorrow!", he took a pause and spoke again,
"But I saw you on Sunday evening by the beachside may be on the same day when you arrived in this city."
Now Sora was totally surprised that this handsome creature had already seen her. She started to think that someone's constant gaze may be Reyhaan's she felt at that time. Understanding what she is thinking made him nod.
"Yes, that was me! You looked at me back feeling my gaze but I was in dark! I must say you were alert even in that fun-filled environment!"
"I want to feel some wind so I went to that beach but saw you giggling and playing with waves. It was harmony to my ears. Then I saw how you helped kids just becoming one of them. I liked you more the way you behave true to yourself! Even Later I saw you helping the other lady who was injured on the road. You helped her and get her to your car. Nobody helps passersby nowadays! I followed you if you need any help but you gave her money too for her treatment!", she was listening to him intently and she find herself amazed by this.
She took her time while going through these details. She didn't know what to say. She sat frozen in her place. She knew what was going to come next and she was now prepared for it. Her heart already started to beat faster.
"That day, was my first time seeing you Sora! I am celebrating this because I liked no I fall for you at first sight Sora! How I wish I want to tell you this but I want to know if you have at least some feelings for me too. I don't want to force my feelings on you. And now I know you liked me too!", He smiled and looked at her showing as if he has solved the mystery after the drama of his fake girlfriend!
Silence! There were some moments nobody talked.
After a while, Reyhaan called her again, "Sora...", she liked the way he is calling her in his smooth voice since she came here. It was different than those other days. She found it pleasant to listen.
She lifted her head and looked at him. His eyes were filled with lots of love and affection for her and she could feel it clearly. He took her one hand in his palms and squeezed it a little.
He looked into her eyes and said, "I love you, Sora!"
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!
After that, she only listened to her heart's beats. It seems her heart was ready to jump from her chest but at the same time, she was overjoyed after his confession.
She wanted to say something or maybe the same as him but her voice choked in her throat. Reyhaan understood, what she wanted to say and without waiting for her reply he said, "I just wanted to confess my feelings to you. You can have all the time in this world to respond and as I said early I will wait for you till the end because I know you love me too!"
Sora was looking at him. His each and every word was touching her heart. Reyhaan does not need to wait for long as Sora instantly nodded her head and she stood from her place at the very next moment she hugged him tightly to show that 'Yes she loves him too!', she showed her consent in actions rather than words!
"Me too stupid! Me too! If you not have done this, I would have...", Sora wanted to say so many things after listening to his honest confession, but instead, she started to cry and her throat was choked that she couldn't even continue her sentence and was struggling for words.
Reyhaan engulfed her totally into his embrace as if both are one and said while patting the backside of her head lightly with his hand, "Shhhhh! It's okay...I know... I know...what would you have done!", it seemed he knows she would have proposed him!
