For the whole five minutes, both didn't talk other than silently watching the sky above the city in front of them. Lost in the beauty of sparkling lights, Aarvi didn't notice when Aaron had left her side.

"Aaron..." Aarvi called him without knowing whether a 'Thank you' could really weigh how much she was grateful for whatever he did for her. Even if he had used a single sky shot firework for her, she would be really pleased just by it but Aaron had outdone her expectation which she never had.

The anticipated hum of Aaron didn't reach her ears causing her to turn around. Her line of sight was instantly seized by the trail between trees whose trunks were coiled by fairy lights.

Her eyes quickly scanned around her to find Aaron but it was dark everywhere other than the path and there was no Aaron. "One more?" She asked herself thinking about what could be another surprise.

Who doesn't like it if a man she admires doing everything surreal for her? Aarvi loved every part of her day. She couldn't help but anticipate what's going to be next.

There might be darkness behind her but she confidently moved towards the light with no sign of hesitation. Walking on the serpent path between trees, a bouquet on a tall stool caught her attention.

A pleasing smile naturally appeared on her face grabbing the multicolor bouquet. Aarvi wears black but that doesn't mean she likes black. It was only to remind herself she has a long way to exit her darkness. It's just an indication that she wasn't any goddess but a devil, up for destruction.

There was a note with the flowers, she read it pulling it out. There wasn't a sweet or cheesy line but his determination and resolution in the form of words, 'I am ready to fight anyone to protect you.'

He had already kept his heart open for her, are the sweet lines still required to impress or make her happy? No, she was ecstatic knowing how serious he is about her.

Aarvi got another bouquet when she walked ahead for a little more distance. It was also a multicolor but a different combination of flowers. Instead of appreciating the flower, she fished the card out of it.

This note stated her importance in his life, affirming that nobody can replace her in his life, 'I'll never be able to get you out of my life.'

She raised her head to witness fairy light strings dangling down the large tree branches brightening the whole place like a day.

Stepping slowly, Aarvi glanced behind her, she started off at the darkness slowly entering the light which described Aaron's priority to bring her out of her darkness slowly but surely.

Aarvi spun around under the large tree under the sea of little lights searching for the man who undoubtedly created a space in her heart through his solicitudes and conviction.

"Aaron..." Her tone had filled with eagerness to see the man with lots of delight. She didn't need words to say why he had arranged everything. He is making up to ask her out formally but she never expected that because she had already accepted him as her significant other.

She might not have experience but she wasn't definitely a mindless stupid girl to sit and think when he was going to ask her in an exorbitant way. That doesn't mean she didn't love his surprise.

"Aaron..." She called him again when she didn't get a glimpse of the man she is waiting for instead of the one who should be waiting for her.

Before she thinks otherwise, Aaron entered the light holding a big bouquet of beautiful flowers. Confidently leading towards her, he was content that she loved everything watching her anticipation.

Aarvi didn't want him to always reach her anymore. Her wish synchronized with her body and she sprinted on her feet surprising Aaron. The latter was initially confused but her bright vivacious and beatific smile clinging onto her lips astonished him.

'She is mine.' The only thought that occupied him seeing her.

Without a delay or a gap for a word, she reached his arms wrapping her arms around his neck. Aaron managed to hold the big bouquet in a hand and another wrapping around her tiny waist.

There was no hesitation left in her which he could feel by her mood or probably the hug. Without letting him speak, Aarvi slid down from his embrace and hugged the large bouquet holding the smaller ones in each hand.

"Next?" She wanted to know if there is anything left to fulfill for the day. If it's arranged, it shouldn't waste without getting her attention, right?

Aaron thought he should be serious to let his cupcake trust him whole and stop her worrying about hurting him emotionally but she was more excited than himself. He couldn't help but let out a captivating chuckle and earned her sweet smile.historical

"Don't you want me to say anything?" Aaron asked, pinching her nose tip.

Aarvi thought he might have prepared to say a page full of the script so she nodded, "Yes please."

Actually, he hadn't prepared to say anything decorously as she already knew everything. He just asked her to know her response so he composed while she eagerly waited.

His voice was deep and assuring lacing with love and adoration, "Be a Fire or an Ice, a warm lap or a fierce punch, a life or death, a calm or a storm, you will always have me by your side."

Cupping her back head, he planted a kiss on her forehead, "And this is the promise, I will never change and I will indulge you all our life."

Her eyes glistened due to moist, "Hmmm..." She pushed the big bouquet to his hand and embraced him again.

Aaron hugged the slender body closer than before and relished their movement. Both were silent, having their own thoughts in their mind about each other while their arms subconsciously tightening around the other.

Aaron craved to spoil her irrespective of her non-expectations. He wanted to make up for the years he had left her, pamper her which her parents failed to do, give her the attention and love she deserved, and leave no stone unturned to keep her safe.

Aarvi never thought there could be a one who would be ready to do anything for her. Now she has so she didn't want to let go of him even if she has to be selfish to keep the man exclusively for herself.

Her mellow yet determined voice sounded. "I promise that my goal will be happily leading my life with you without hurting myself in any of my plans, I will become stronger to protect us and punish them for hurting me."

Her goal altered prioritizing her life which is very much needed for her to be able to erase the dark memories. That's exactly what Aaron wanted than Aarvi accepting him.

He wasn't the one to ask her for complete time and attention to him. It is very essential for her to finish what she started. It wasn't only because it would give her peace of mind, it was also to punish the cruel people who couldn't be handled directly by the law and they will continue to be beasty in the society playing in the life of innocents.

Her acceptance of him in her life as a priority is enough to send him to seventh heaven. He doesn't need anything other than the petite woman in his arms.
