but witnessing it in reality, he had never expected!
    Well, he had seen Malvika come to the house many times with Abhijeet, and he loved her as a person.
    According to him she was a singularly amazing person. She was the most giving, tender, witty, engaging, outgoing, and thoughtful person he had ever known. She would always treat Abhijeet like a king. He could observe that she and Abhijeet were locked in some kind of epic ‘Love War’, by which he meant that they were always treating each other with love, respect, and mutual devotion almost as though they were trying to ‘out-love’ the other. Darsh admired their love.
    Abhijeet had found a true friend in Darsh. True, he was his servant but nevertheless he was the one who had saved his life and so he trusted him fully. Abhijeet used to share a part of his love life with Darsh asking for some suggestions from the poor guy who had no experience in that department, none at all!
    “I saw Malvika for the first time in my office. She looked so beautiful (and still does), that I thought there was no way someone like her would be single. How could she be? A woman as radiant as she is, ought to have a line of men around the block, waiting for the chance to cross path with her,” said Abhijeet one day.
    “Then how did you approach her sahib?” Darsh asked curiously.
    “One day, despite my concerns, I saw my opportunity and I took it. She said yes,” Abhijeet said with a smile on his face.
    “Who would say no to you sahib ,” said Darsh.
     
    Abhijeet went to pick up Malvika from the office. He had asked Darsh to handle the matters at home.
    “Hey, Darsh! All set? Everyone home?” asked Abhijeet over the phone.
    “Yes, sahib ,” he answered.
    Then Abhijeet asked Malvika to put up a blind fold and turn around. Malvika waited for about a minute and Abhijeet turned her back around and she took the blind fold off.
    Malvika looked around and all her friends and clients were around them, looking at her. Around twenty people in the room, and better than half of them knew what was coming, but the look on Malvika’s face was one of complete shock. Let’s describe it as ‘happily mortified’. And she looked down and Abhijeet was on one knee with an open box that had a diamond ring. Abhijeet started to tear up.
    “My life is going so smoothly from the time you came in my life. You made it so beautiful that I myself am so amazed. You hug me so tightly that nobody ever can. Your passion for me makes me feel that nobody would ever love me like you do. Your care makes me realize that there is nothing better than being in love with you. It’s you whom I love; it’s you whom I look forward to. It’s you for whom my heart beats; it’s you whom I always need. It’s you whom I think always about; it’s your text for which I always wait for. It’s your kiss that makes me go crazy; it’s your touch which is so soothing. It’s you Malvika, only you, who completes me. Will you marry me?” proposed Abhijeet.
    Darsh could make out that Malvika’s heart skipped a few beats when Abhijeet asked her to be his wife. She had tears in her eyes.
    “Yes, I will,” she said.
    Abhijeet slipped the ring onto her finger and he gave her a bear hug.
    He hugged Darsh and Aarti too, who were more than happy for the beautiful couple.
    Malvika wasn’t sure what was going around them as she was still in a state of shock. Everyone was clapping, it felt like everything around her faded, and for about fifteen minutes people were coming over to say congratulations and to see the ring.
    The party got over late at night. Darsh bid goodnight to the couple and started cleaning the house.
    It was the best evening in Malvika’s entire life. An evening she could never ever forget throughout her life.
    That night they both made love… well again…
