The next few months were absolutely beautiful for Mayera and Arjun. They spent every second of their free time together. They went on dates, hung out, binge watched, cooked food together. He had basically wined and dined and wooed his girl.

A month after their relationship started, the media had gotten a picture of them together, exiting the movie theater, holding hands. And since they'd been the media's favorite business couple.

Their families also got to know about the news. The Singhanias saw it coming and gave them their blessings. Nandita and Kabir were also happy that their Mayeru had found his prince charming.

But there was one person who did not take this news easy, Tejas Oberoi. He was pissed no limit and didn't talk to Mayera for two days. It was not like he didn't want his princess to be happy, it was just he didn't like the fact that he'd have to share her with another man now. As he'd said earlier to Nandita also, he was not ready for this and didn't know how to react.

It took a lot of convincing from Nandita's side before he finally agreed to talk to his daughter. Mayera apologized to him for not telling him before but she was just scared. Tejas understood and gave Arjun a shot, but not before threatening him to end him if he ever hurt his daughter.

His threat reminded Arjun of Kabir's threat. Like father, like son.

Everything seemed to be going perfect after that. Sure the lovely couple have had their share of fights, but they were also a part of their relationship. Fights are healthy, as long as anger doesn't escalate to ego.

Arjun had also guided Mayera whenever she faced any hardships or complications, and she always thanked him with tons of heated make-out sessions.

Right now, she was in Arjun's home, cooking his favorite chicken biryani with some raita, and kheer. He was in Mumbai for the past two days as it was Alina's graduation ceremony. Mayera was also supposed to go with him and meet her family as well, but at the last minute, her Singapore client pre-poned the meeting and she had to stay back.

This was the first time that Mayera and Arjun had stayed away from each other in their seven month old relationship. She had missed him terribly. So she decided to leave early from office and wait for him with his favorite food ready.

After she was done with her cooking, she took a quick shower in the guest bedroom to get rid of all the sweat. She then wore a printed blue kurti with white palazzo.

Arjun was tired from the journey and just wanted to sleep in Mayera's arms. She had texted him about that she was in his home, or else he'd have gone to her place directly from the airport.

Mayera was applying lip balm when she heard the watchman opening the main door and then the engine of the car roaring.

He had come.

She skipped through the stairs in excitement. Arjun unlocked the door with his keys and pushed it open. As soon as he took a step inside, he felt a body collide with his. The whiff of vanilla scent reached his nose and he knew it was his girlfriend. He wrapped his arms around her, whisked her off her feet and started walking towards the couch. She locked her legs around his torso and clung to him.

"I missed you!" She innocently spoke.

He pulled back and hungrily kissed her lips. "I missed you more, baby."

He then sat on the couch, with her still in his arms. "I am never leaving you again."

"Good," She mumbled while hiding her face in his chest.

They stayed like that for some time, talking, kissing, feeling each other's warmth. It was when Arjun's stomach grumbled, they left each other. He went to freshen up, and she went to serve the food.

After dinner, they again curled up on the couch with a blanket. He told her all about Alina's graduation and how proud he was of her. She told him that her deal with the Singapore client was signed. They both didn't realise when they drifted off whilst talking.

The next day, Arjun asked Mayera to take a day off from office as he wanted to take her somewhere. She went to her place to get dressed and he picked her up an hour later.

"Where are we going?" She asked for the tenth time.

"Quit asking. I told you it is a surprise."

About an hour later, he stopped the car outside a really big mansion. He got out of the car, and then went to open her door.

"What is this place?" Mayera was curious.

"You'll know." He grabbed her hand and started taking her in.

The mansion was built on a huge area. Arjun took out a set of keys and unlocked the door. The living room had furniture but they were all covered with white clothes. The whole room was filled with dirt. But even in such a condition, Mayera could tell that this was a beautiful home.

"I am sorry I couldn't get it cleaned in such a short notice." Arjun scratched his back.

"It's still breathtaking and so majestic." Mayera smiled while looking around.

She found some family photos on the wall. There were many pictures of a happy couple and a little girl with them.

"Who are they?"

"They are my nana and nani. And that girl with them is my mom. This was their home. I never stayed here much as nana nani passed when in a car accident when I was six years old. Since they only had one child, that was my mom, she inherited everything. She knew how much I loved this home, so when I turned 25, my mom gifted me this place."

"That's so sweet of her." Mayera understood why he loved this place. It had an unexplainable happy vibe to it.

"Come, I'll show you my favorite part of this house." He dragged her towards the back side of the mansion. In the backyard was a very big banyan tree which had a freaking treehouse built on it.

"Nana built it when I was five as I loved climbing up this tree. I used to spend most of my summer holidays in that tree house." Mayera giggled at the thought of that.

"Do you know why I brought you here today?" He looked at her.

Mayera shook her head in a no.

He smiled at her nervously, held her left hand in right one and then went down on one knee.

Her breath halted. Is this really happening?

"Mayera, in all my life, I never thought that God would grace me with a woman as wonderful as you. I don't know what I'd ever done to deserve you, but now that I've got you, I don't plan on ever letting you go. I am not very good at romantic speeches, so I am going to ask you straight. Will you please marry me and grant me the permission of loving you forever?"

He brought out what was definitely the most beautiful diamond ring Mayera had ever laid her eyes on and looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Not trusting her ability to speak, she nodded her shyly while a few tears leaked from her eyes.

He gave her a dazzling smile and then slided the ring on her finger. She then kneeled down herself and kissed him with all the love she had for him.

"When did you plan all this?" Mayera asked him.

"Well, I've had that ring for almost two months now." He shrugged his shoulder.

"Really?" She gasped.

"Yeah, and when I went to Mumbai, I visited your father and asked his permission to propose to you. He was shocked at first, but then accepted it wholeheartedly." He kissed her forehead.

"What? He knew?"

"Yeah, everyone knew. Our families, Veer, everyone."

Mayera had one more question. "Why did you propose to me at your nani's home?"

"My nana and nani loved each other dearly. I had seen nana flirt with her, even after two grandchildren. Their love never grew old. For me, they were ultimate couple goals and I'd always want a marriage like them. So I'd decided that when I'll find my woman with whom I'll crave that kind of life, I'll propose to her at their home only. It was my way to make them a part of our love story."

Mayera silently thanked God for giving her such a precious man who loved her this much. Life was eternal bliss.
