Chapter 201

Akshar realized that Harvey’s girlfriend’s sister doesn’t go out much and he was there to keep her company so the two love birds could disappear in the crowd. He also understood that it was not Harvey’s idea and in spite of his company being very timid and quiet they did strike a common ground on books and music and the evening wasn’t bad at all. All of a sudden there was pin drop silence and Akshar couldn’t make out what was going on. He turned around and he couldn’t see Harvey and his girl friend either on the dance floor and when he could take a peek he couldn’t really believe his eyes. It was Harvey who was causing this silence, and it instantly brought a smile on his face.

Now he knew why he was so tense and was extremely picky and specific about what he wanted. He had everything planned and in the last minute his girl friend had suggested that her twin will be tagging along and he had convinced Akshar to be her date. Harvey was out there expressing his proposal with love and sincerity, and letting her know how much she meant to him. It was very clear it all came from his heart. His focus was on her, and the special moment they were sharing. He was on his knees, expressing his love and his desire to become lifelong partners. Akshar knew he had planned and rehearsed what to say well in advance, to make a statement that would capture all that's special about her. It was a beautiful sight, and the whole room clapped and cheered when she took his ring with tears rolling down her eyes and kissed him.
