~"Sometimes we want to freeze time, not just because the moment is perfect, but because we want to capture every little detail, even the minute ones, and store them inside us, forever."~

She was a breath of fresh air. She really was. As I was walking down the streets of New York, seeing couples together, hand in hand, hugging each other, I got an urge to talk to her. I wish I could just run to her and take her in my arms, only a wish.

Everything was set. I was literally jumping with excitement, I had done that all by myself and with a little help from Radhika Di. I was sure she was going to love it. Well Saanvi wasn't a romantic girl but at the end of the day even she had wishes which I was ready to fulfil.
As per the plan, I took her out making an excuse that it's our birthday so we needed to celebrate. She kept on asking what it was but I didn't tell her anything. All along the way she was curious to know and seeing the level of my excitement she was getting excited as well.
And finally we were there, at the cottage. The cool breeze blowing was playing with her hair. Her eyes were curious to know the surprise. And as a part of it, I blindfolded her. Her excitement level rose now and she held my hand. It was as if someone gave me an electric shock the moment she touched me with those soft fingers of hers.
I took her inside and opened the blindfold. She didn't leave my hand. And she was awestruck. She had no idea what was about to happen. She looked around her. Rose petals, balloons and some of her pictures on the wall, the decorations were perfect. She walked a few steps, still not leaving my hand.
A chocolate cake lit with a beautiful candle was waiting for her. And I stepped along with her and took her to the table. And she looked at me, that moment, I swear that moment was enough to give me the satisfaction of worldly happiness. And I made her cut the cake, still her hand was in mine. I wish to stay with her like that forever. I could sense her happiness as she was out of words. And we both made each other eat the cake.
"I don't know what to say Aryan. This is so special. Thanks a lot.", she said and hugged me tight. And I hugged her back, I wanted time to stop at the moment.
I brushed the hair off her face and our eyes were locked.
"I love you Saanvi.", and I held her tightly.
"Really Aryan? I mean how is this possible? I liked you all this while, really, how it be, you too?", she was so happy at the moment. The glitter in her eyes was beautiful.
I kept my hand on lips and said, "Ssshh! I know you do. And I do too. Calm down."
And she buried her head in my chest. She was resting in my arms and I could feel her breath. That was the moment I got a life with a meaning, the moment she held my hand. And I made a promise to myself, to love her till the end of time.

I was so lost in those moments that I didn't realize I was standing in a busy street and the car on the other side was honking, since I don't know when, and I was there standing like a fool in the middle of the road. I apologised to the driver and moved on.
