~ Unknown
"Yes you can, I mean I am your wifey after all. What are you going to do without me" I teased him
what I was not expecting, was for Malik to get down on one knee "That is true. I can not imagine my life without you, that is why I want to do right by you. Yasmin, I love you will all my heart, and I know I am not perfect, but I hope to spend the rest of my life with you. I hate promises, but today, in front of you and the Lord, I promise to love and cherish you as long as I am alive. You have seen all of me, in my best and worst moments, and you still decided to stay with me. I promise to never take you for granted and do my best to always make you happy. This is me Yasmin, it's just us, our witness is the Lord, no parents around, no family members, no friends, no contract, more importantly, total freedom. Freedom in making your own choice, the one your heart truly desires. Will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Qureshi, this time from the bottom of your own heart?"
What do you say to this? My brain neurons are frozen and I can not think clearly, but if one thing is sure, I do not doubt my answer, nothing in my life has been as clear as this answer, after everything we've been through, He made me go through, there is no doubt. Poor guy still waiting for my answer. I think I made him wait enough, he deserves to know my answer. It has been so long since the last time I was asked to take a major decision concerning MY life. I fore sure will not let this opportunity pass me by. I know the answer that I will give now will be definite for me, for him and for us. I take a deep breathe and look at him straight in the eyes, before giving him my answer, the one answer that will either make him or break him

"Uhm, Yasmeen, not to rush you or anything, but this is the part where you give me the answer that will either make me, or break me" He scratched the side of his head
"Yes silly, I want to be Mrs. Malik Qureshi today, tomorrow and every other day, until death do us apart even beyond that, in shaa Allah"
And Ladies and gentlemen, that's when my finger was yet again adorned with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen and Malik was so happy that he took me in his arms and turned me around
"But seriously though, next time try to warn a girl"
"Next time?" He asked me with his eyes wide open
"You try to be romantic genius. Also, this is the part where you kiss the bride and in some countries, you even take the bride in your arms and you all take pictures and stuff. Don't you know this?" I roll my eyes. Why is he so dumb?
"You should have said that you wanted a kiss you know" Our eyes met for a fraction of a second, and in that little amount of time everything just seemed to stop, the wind, the movement of the trees, everything. No joking around, no teasing, simply him and I. No voices were needed, because our eyes communicated what words could not. He gently tilted my head upward using my jaw to capture my lips in a really slow and passionate kiss. His lips were so warm, and I immediately responded. We both stopped because of our basic human need of oxygen.
"Come on, get on my back" He said as he got down
"Uhm, are you sure?" I replied with my flushed face. I think it's a good idea. We don't want our dear Malik to get too hype knowing the effect he has on me. So I did what he told me

"We are changing things a little bit, to make it unique you know, that is why you are on my back instead of my arms"
Remember I said I had a husband on sale? I changed my mind. This man will truly be the death of me one day
Once on his back, I laid my head on his back and we had a really quiet walk. The silence was comfortable, and the wind and trees, the scenery was just perfect, and that's when we felt a movement on the side. It was a couple in their mid 50's
"I am sorry, excuse my husband, he used to be a photographer, still is, and he can not resist a beautiful scene"said the old woman who I assumed is his wife, while looking at him with love and admiration. There is no denying the love that exists in this couple.
"I am sorry but I could not help myself from taking the picture, everything was perfect. I've been taking pictures this whole time" added the old guy
"The proposal, even the kissing scene" She whispered the last part, or she tried to because I am pretty sure that the people from Jupiter heard it, or at least the aliens or whatever is there. Judging from Malik's laugh, he is enjoying my embarrassment
"I can give you my studio address and you can go there later, I will have the actual pictures. How about this Saturday at 12 young man" asked the old man
"Sounds perfect. Thank you so much. I will see you then. I have to go, this lady is quite heavy, but she thinks she is a baby" He didn't just say that? Can I slap Malik?
"Here is my card then" He gave me his card and on it, was written 'Flower Studio', the name is not that bad. I take it and wave them bye.
"They were so cute and look so in love" I smile just thinking about them
"And In shaa Allah, that is going to be us even after we are 70" What do you say to this? Malik has a way or two to shut me up for good
With a smile on my face, I just close my eyes and feel the breeze around us, thinking how lucky I am to have this man in my life
