35- Peak Of Exhilaration

It's been a few weeks, their relationship was developing by each passing second. The life Rayan offered to Isra, she has been learning to accept it with open arms without knowing she has done it long ago and has begun to accept it now. "Hey." The door of her cabin knocked and Rayan came. "This is for you." He made her hand crafted white lily. "Did you make it?" She asked, looking at the pretty flower he made himself for her. "I know you love them, that's why I made them with my personal hands," He chuckled, leaning closer to her face. "Ah my, thank you so much for the effort, Mr Ahmed." She chuckled, checking the pretty flower in her hand. "It's lovely, Thank you so much, Rayan." She grinned. "You know why, I made one and didn't give you a real one?" He asked, taking her hand in his, loving the sensation her skin felt in his. "Why?" "Because this flower will never wilt, just like my love for you." He whispered, giving her a radiant smile, taking a step back, leaving. "Rayan." She called, holding his sleeves. "Hmm?" She tiptoed and kissed his cheeks, grinning, "Thank you. I love it." "If I get a heart attack, then it would be your fault." He breathed out, closing his eyes, taking a deep breath to not freak out. She giggled, "Don't worry, I won't let you. This moment is just starting. I won't let it slip this easily." She said sweetly as he left her with the thought- How can I let my fears manipulate me to his devastation and disregard his love? After work, they went home but Rayan stopped her when she was about to go to their room. Yes, they have begun to share the room. "What are you doing?" She asked, Rayan covered her eyes. "I have planned something for you." He whispered, putting his hands over her eyes and leading her towards the room. "What are you going to do now?" This was not even a surprise at this time. He regularly gives her surprises of lilies, dinners or even going on a date. When they entered he removed his hands as the room was lit dimly with lights as she was standing under the borders of a heart shape made with rose petals as a bunch of chocolates and gifts were laying on the bed. She chuckled, looking around, "It's pretty, did you arrange it?" "Of course." He nodded, bending on one knee, offering her his one hand. She took his hand as he began to say, "Isra, exactly three weeks ago. You gave me a chance to prove myself worthy, I know they are only days, not even months but ask me who was waiting for this moment for years- The year for me is too long." He said with in-depth emotions of love and adoration, knowing he awaited this moment more than anything. "And honestly I won't regret it if I spend a lifetime doing it because that way you will be near me and I desire nothing more than for my eyes to fix upon yours." He paused for a moment to inhale. 'I will happily spend the rest of my life to show you how much I love you although it might not be enough but I promise I will try my best and give you the world you deserve, the smiles which made me fall for you." He said, causing her smile to grow wider in mesmerization to think what a beautiful life she will lead to have him in her life. "Oh, Rayan, how can you love me so much?" She asked, the grin not leaving her lips. "Isra, if I began to tell you how much I love you, it would never be enough, my feelings for you are inexplicable but do know your name is carved on my very soul and no power could eradicate it. Even if we live together or not, this heart shall remain as yours, to me, it was, is and will be you... even if you can't become mine, I will be yours... forever." He told her tenderly, taking her hands in his, kissing her knuckles. A tear pricked in her eyes from his confession as she hugged him tightly. "Rayan..." She whispered his name lovingly as the shade of redemption took both of them under its care, allowing them to arouse a mesmeric bond. "I am so sorry for not realizing it early. For running away, I should have done it long ago, I am so sorry for making you wait for me." She said in a low tone, pulling away, sitting on her knees, taking his hand. "The wait was worth it. You are here with me, I desire nothing else." He whispered, kissing her hands with affection, wallowing in the moments existing with her breaths. "I now truly believe fate wants us to meet, We are made for each other. See, under all circumstances, we are together." She chuckled. Wiping the tears in her eyes but he remained silent, not speaking about it but smiling while pairing her eyes with his intense ones patiently waiting for her answer. "And it is you who lives in my heart now and will." His eyes widened in his disbelief, evoking indescribable delight in his whole being, filling him with euphoria and consider it an unbelievable dream which told him- He finally found his shore. "Ah, thank you so much, Isra! You have given me life! Icannot tell you how happy I am!" He beamed, embracing her wholeheartedly, "Me too.. Rayan. Me too." She hugged him back, wrapping her arms around him, the bright grin not leaving their lips. "You have become the gain of my life," He said, pulling away, taking her hands in his, intertwining their fingers to forge a complete symphony of their tale as they both said at the same time, "Thank you for coming into my life." *** Later that week their hearts collided to never part again, sealing their love. On the Weekend, "Anklets suit you a lot, you know?" Rayan said sweetly, tying the anklet around her foot, looking up and passing her wide grin as they were getting to her parent's home to discuss what happened at the anniversary function. "Thanks." Isra said sheepishly, looking away. "You know you are so gorgeous that I could find you by your charm even in a crowd." He complimented, making her blush, staring down at him. Bending on the ground while holding her feet. "Really?" "You deserve a crown." He continued as she chuckled this time. "I guess that's enough." She said, getting up to leave. "Nothing could be enough." he whispered. She was about to leave but he held her wrist and made her sit back as he was sitting on the ground. Putting his hands on her laps, he said sweetly. "Stay... Please. I love being close to you." "I am.. Here." She whispered. He cupped her cheeks, leaning close to her face, feeling her breath colliding his. "Always were." Continuing, he moved to her ears. "And Will be." "How can you love me so much?" She said, putting her hand on his shoulders, staring back at his profound gaze searching for liberation in her shelter. "It's beyond my control." He replied, pressing his forehead against hers, moving his hand down. With a scarlet face, she moved her head away, moving her hand to his chest, creating some distance between them. "I.. I think we should get ready." With a shy smile, she walked away as he couldn't help but to laugh at her timidness which indicated- Their lives were on the peak of exhilaration.
