Second Proposal

-

The morning sunlight poured through the large windows of Shubman and Ishan’s  apartment.

The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air as Ishan, dressed in an oversized hoodie, hummed a tune while flipping parathas on the stove.

Their golden retriever, Jugnu, lay sprawled on the kitchen floor, his tail wagging lazily.

Shubman entered the kitchen, running a hand through his messy hair.

He watched Ishan for a moment, his heart swelling with love.

Shubman : Subah-subah itna surila kaunsa gaana hai?

*Shubman teased, leaning against the counter with a sly grin*

Ishan : Tumhe nahi samajh aayega, tum toh bas cricket ki commentary sunte ho!

*Ishan shot back, without turning around*

Shubman smirked, walking closer to Ishan.

Shubman : Kya kar rahe ho, meri jaan?

*he asked, wrapping his arms around Ishan’s waist from behind*

Ishan : Woh tumhare Jugnu ka dog food de raha tha, aur tumhare liye parathe.

Shubman : Mera Jugnu? Tumhara nahi hai kya?

*Shubman tightened his grip, pretending to be offended*

*ishna remove his hands and walk into dining hall*

*Just then, Jugnu jumped up, barking excitedly. He nuzzled between them, forcing Shubman to step back.*

Shubman : Dekha? Yeh kutta hamesha mere against jaata hai,

*Shubman grumbled, narrowing his eyes at the dog*

Ishan : Shub, kutte se jealous ho?

*Ishan teased, bending down to pet Jugnu*

Shubman : Main jealous nahi hoon. Main bas… priority ban na chah raha hoon.

* Shubman crossed his arms, watching as Ishan gave Jugnu a kiss on his head*

Ishan : Achha? Tumhari priority hone ke liye audition lena padega!

Shubman : Audition toh pass kar loonga, tum hi dekhna.

Ishan rolled his eyes, but his cheeks flushed pink.

Before he could respond, Shubman pulled him into a quick kiss, ignoring Jugnu’s barking.

(hasi aarhi-😭👍)

The rest of the day unfolded like a montage of their love.

After breakfast, they took Jugnu for a walk in the nearby park.

Shubman and Ishan walked hand-in-hand, occasionally throwing a ball for Jugnu to fetch.

Shubman, Jugnu kitna fast hai na? Mujhse bhi jada

*Ishan said jokingly watching Jugnu sprint*

Shubman : Tumhare competition ke layak nahi hai Jugnu

*Shubman joked, pulling Ishan closer by the waist*

They spent the afternoon lounging on the couch, binge-watching their favorite series.

Ishan’s head rested on Shubman’s lap while Jugnu stubbornly wedged himself between them.

Ishan : Shubman, Jugnu ko mat hatao. Woh family ka part hai

*Ishan protested as Shubman tried to move the dog*

Shubman : Mujhe tumhare kareeb rehna hai, woh samajh nahi raha.

*Shubman pouted*

Ishan : Achha, woh samajhne ke layak hoga tab tak tum thoda adjust kar lo

*Ishan said with a soft laugh*

"ish kutte ko lage galti kardi"

*Shubman thought shoting a glance at jugnu*

The evening ended with Ishan cooking dinner while Shubman set the table.

As Ishan stirred a pot of dal, Shubman crept up behind him, sliding his arms around his waist.

Ishan : Shubman, kya kar rahe ho? Khana gir jayega!

Shubman : Ek surprise hai tumhare liye.

Ishan : Surprise? Abhi toh dinner toh karlo

Shubman turned Ishan around to face him, his expression soft but serious.

Shubman : Nahi, yeh dinner ke baad ka hai. Main tumhare saath kuch share karna chahta hoon.

Ishan : Shubman, kya ho raha hai? Tum aise serious kyun lag rahe ho?

Shubman : Bas wait karo. Raat tak sab pata chal jayega.

After dinner, Shubman got up from the table, a little nervous.

Shubman : Ishan, tum thodi der ke liye balcony mein chaloge mere saath?

Ishan : Ab balcony mein kya? Tumhari planning khatam nahi hui ab tak?

Shubman : Nahi, bas ek aur cheez baaki hai.

*Shubman said, grabbing his hand and leading him toward the balcony*

The moment Ishan stepped outside, his breath caught.

The usually simple balcony had been transformed into something magical.

Fairy lights crisscrossed overhead, casting a warm golden glow. Soft candles flickered on the floor, placed in glass holders to keep the wind from extinguishing them.

The small balcony table was draped with a white cloth and adorned with a bouquet of white lilies.... his favorite.

There was a Bluetooth speaker tucked in the corner, playing a soft instrumental version of their favorite love song.

And in the middle of it all stood a photo collage hanging on the wall, capturing moments from their years together: their first trip, their wedding day, their lazy Sundays with Jugnu, and even their most recent celebration.

Ishan : Shubman… yeh sab tumne kab kiya?

Shubman : Tumhare liye, meri jaan. Pichle kuch dino se plan kar raha tha. Tumhe pasand aaya?

Ishan : Pasand? Shubman, yeh toh… yeh sabse khoobsurat cheez hai jo kisi ne mere liye ki hai

*his voice cracking with emotion*

Shubman smiled, relieved.

He guided Ishan to the center of the balcony, holding both his hands as they stood under the twinkling lights

Jugnu, sensing something special, had been tied inside the apartment, but his curious eyes peeked out through the sliding glass door.

Shubman : Ishan, tumhe ek baat bolni hai,.

Ishan nodded, his heart racing.

Shubman : Pehli baar jab main tumse mila tha, mujhe laga tha ki tum sirf ek ache dost banoge. Lekin dheere-dheere, tumhare bina kuch bhi adhura lagne laga. Jab tumne shaadi ke liye haan bola tha, woh din meri zindagi ka sabse acha din tha

Ishan’s lips trembled into a soft smile. “Aur aaj?”

“Aaj main tumse yeh kehna chahta hoon ki woh din sirf shuruaat thi. Tum mere liye sirf ek partner nahi ho. Tum meri zindagi ho, mera ghar ho. Aur main chahta hoon ki har saal, har din tumhare saath nayi yaadein banau.”

With that, Shubman knelt down on one knee, pulling out a small velvet box from his pocket.

Inside was a sleek, elegant ring with a delicate engraving on the inside:

"Forever yours."

Shubman : Ishan, tumhe ek baar shaadi ke liye propose kiya tha. Aaj, main tumse apne dil ki baat dobara kehna chahta hoon. Kya tum mujhse phir se shaadi karogo?

Tears filled Ishan’s eyes as he stared at the man he loved more than anything. His voice broke as he replied

Ishan : Haan, Shubman, bilkul haan. Main phir se tumhare saath zindagi bitane ke liye taiyaar hoon.

Shubman’s face lit up with a smile as he slid the ring onto Ishan’s finger.

He stood up and pulled Ishan into a tight hug

Shubman : Main tumse hamesha pyaar karunga, Ishan. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaye.

Ishan : Aur main tumse. Tum mere liye sab kuch ho, Shubman.

Before they could say more, a loud bark interrupted the moment.

Jugnu had finally had enough of being ignored and was scratching at the glass door.

Both of them burst into laughter.

Ishan : Lagta hai Jugnu ko bhi humein celebrate karte dekhna hai,

Shubman opened the door, and Jugnu bounded onto the balcony, wagging his tail furiously and jumping between them.

The couple laughed as they both knelt down to pet him, with Shubman muttering,

Shubman : Tu hamesha mere special moments chura leta hai, Jugnu.

They spent the rest of the night sitting on the balcony, eating dessert, and talking about their future under the stars.

Jugnu lay at their feet, finally content that his humans were paying attention to him too.

As the night grew colder, Shubman draped a blanket over Ishan’s shoulders and pulled him close.

The fairy lights above them glimmered softly, and the world felt perfectly at peace.

It wasn’t just a proposal.

it was a promise of forever, sealed with love and laughter.
