The coffee shop was crowded as it is one of the most popular in the city and most people are here either to take a break from their shopping at the mall like me or just gossiping about the current affairs.

I ordered a coffee and few cookies and called my daughter who said would help me with shopping after her class. But she said that she would be late as her classes have been extended and would directly push home. There was no reason to stay longer but I had to finish my coffee. “This place is really crowded, isn’t it?” I was looking out of the café’s window when a sweet voice suddenly startled me. “Yea”, I answered with a smile as she sat opposite to me sharing the same table.

I promise everyday of your life will be filled with happiness", he tried to convince her again. "Now once more you talk about the marriage, and I am gone. It's the fifth time tonight that you have asked me to get married to you" "And I know again your answer is going to be NO. But I guess I will still not stop asking you for it". Manas never knew why Nasla rejected his proposal of getting married to him. They are in love for sure and Manas knows that Nasla loves him as much as he does but he never understood why she rejected the idea of getting together every time. He still remembers once Nasla told him that she wants to get married to him, but that time they had just started knowing each other and such proposal from her all of sudden startled him. Though he didn't said no, he was far away from the idea of mar...
