Chapter 48

Quinn has already occupied the right side of the bed, so I climbed on the left side and went under the sheet and closed my eyes once again thrice a day not bothering to change my dress. The luggage was still on the floor, unpacked, but early morning at 2:00 am who would care about the things on the floor more than sleep. --- It's the 5th day of our trip and now we are standing in front of Tajmahal enjoying the view and asking the history of Shajahan's and Mumthaj's Loves story from the Tourist. Those four days, we visited a lot of places and tasted different varieties of food that I don't know even exist. All the time Quinn and Kevin went together like a honeymoon couple, not bothering to ask us to join them. As they said earlier, they were taking different kinds of selfies from different angles. They look so happy together. Harry said today he is going to take me to an important place and will show me something. "Are you ready?" He asked and I nodded my head and we both headed to his car. After a fine 30 minutes of driving, he parked his car in the Parking area where the area was covered by full of green plants. What is this, greenhouse or green society? He led me further towards the Mountain and we both started to climb. At first, I was willing to reach the top of the mountain but when I felt all my energies were drained, I wanted to give up. "Harry, I can't." I whined, panting out of breath while bending forward, and put my hands on my knees. "I don't think I can do this. Shall we go down?" I asked him looking backward. "Sheila, we are almost reached. Come on, it will take five more minutes." He stretched his hand towards me. "That's what you said an hour ago." I pointed out. He chuckled lightly and held my hand with that we both climbed on. Once we reached the top of the mountain, he covered my eyes with his hands. "What are you doing?" I asked shivering from his touch. "Let me show you something." He whispered. "Are you planning to push me down?" I asked and he laughed. "Harry, where are we going?" I asked again in a panic tone. Once he uncovered my eyes, my mouth dropped down on the floor seeing the amazing art in front of me. What's an amazing view!! I squealed internally. It's the green land, rather a heart-shaped design was drawn full of rose petals which added the beauty of the land more particularly. "Do you like this?" He asked snapping me out of my spelled world. "It's amazing." I breathed out. "How did you find the amazing place, Harry? It's really awesome." He seemed satisfied with my answer and let out a long sigh. "Sheila." He called my name nervously. "Uhg!" I replied without looking at him still admiring the beauty of the land. "I planned this for you." I heard him say. My whole attention was turned towards him when he said he has planned this for me. My heartbeat increased and I heard a rhythm of my heartbeat 'lab tab... lab tab...' I placed my hand on my chest and rubbed it slowly to ease the pain. His eyes were looking at all my moves but somehow he seems nervous and I could guess what will come next. His eyes held so much emotion that I can name them love, passion and affection. I furrowed myself and twisted my lips when the question popped into my mind. Did he think I am going to reject him? Haha... no way. I have been waiting for this day for almost a month now. How can I reject him? He is so cute, he even arranged this for me. I mentally grinned and looked at him. "Thank you, Harry." I replied with a shy smile and again glanced at the land. "I want to tell you something." Lab tab... lab tab... lab tab... my inner mind screamed me to tell him that spit the three words as fast as he could, but I put them on the back of my mind and looked at him innocently not wanting to ruin the moment. "Yeah! Tell me, Harry but you did a great job, I really love this." I clapped both hands. Oh, God! What I am doing? Am I trying to divert his mind? What if he changes his mind? No.. no... It won't happen. We both stared at each other for what seemed to be hours, but truth to be told it's a mere few minutes passed. I think I got lovesick. He grabbed my hand and held it tightly to his chest. He might think I would run away if he let go of my hand. "What do you want to tell me?" I found my voice shuttering and mentally facepalmed. God!! Why is he taking too much time to express his love to... "I Love You, Sheila" Though I had expected these words from him, I froze on the spot. What could I tell him? Shall I tell him that I too love him? Or shall I ask him to give me time to think like how the heroine would ask the hero in the movie, huh? 'Sheila, don't act wildly. Say him yes.' my inner mind screamed once again. I take a long breath and ready to answer him but he shook his head. "Before I would like to hear your answer, I wanted to tell you something." He said, refused to meet my gaze. Oh God!!! He ruined the moment, I groaned internally. What is important, now? It can wait. Of course, I will marry him in the future, there is no doubt. "Sheila..." "Hugh! Yeah, te..Tell me, Harry." Sweats were already formed and I wiped it frequently. "Do you know, Harry John Brooks?" *
