Chapter 211

She loved the way it felt on her finger. She felt happy about the exquisite ring that was meant for her; she didn’t want to take it off, at the same time she didn’t know what it would mean about her future, she knew how she felt about Pryag, she has never felt like that about anyone in her life, she knew she loved him, but didn’t know if she were in love with him. She heard some noise and turned around and he was there in a wheel chair, wheeling towards her with the help of his brother in law. He would have preferred to have walked but doctor’s instructions, so he had agreed to it. He smiled and said “ I knew you would wear it, I would have loved to ask you to spend the rest of your life with me in an island or something, and I know this is not the greatest place on earth to be right now, but the time is right, at least for me it couldn’t be better. I have wasted away so many years thinking about consequences, how others would feel and so many unanswered questions and all, but no more, not anymore. I had almost lost you forever which made me realize that life is too short for mistakes and questions and delays. I knew you would like it.” He turned towards his brother-in-law and said “I gave him a clear description of exactly what I wanted, what you would like, with your birthstone in the middle”. He looked at Diya and smiled, “I would to kiss you but the fact is I can’t at least not for a couple of days and I am glad you like it. I knew you would take it. Let’s just share the good news with everyone. “


All three of them stepped out of the room and there was a great applause for the two of them followed by many congratulations and wishes. She turned towards Pryag and his brother-in-law and she could see that she was the only one who was surprised by this since every out there seem to know that he was going to pop the question. She generally likes surprises but this was a little unexpected, she had never thought of the idea of being married before, for many reasons, even now she was not sure, and didn’t really had any time to think about it, nor did she expect it but everything had happened so suddenly she was still a bit puzzled. They walked towards the elevator and in just a few minutes, while she was waiting with Pryag, his brother-in-law brought the car around. After fifteen minutes they were on the high way driving towards his home. The drive was quiet silent as every one was in their own world. Diya thought about everything that had happened she understood that everyone in the hospital knew this was going to happen, the nurse’s comment and his brother-in-law and the doctor distracting her. She now knew exactly what went on between Pryag and his brother-in-law before his surgery that had puzzled her quiet a bit. She wondered if Chari knew about this. More than that she was not quiet sure how he would react and what her relationship would be with him from now on?
