Not everyone’s life will be boring always. There comes a person at a certain point to make the life a little more enjoyable, difficult and even frustrate about the things sometimes. Without Harry, my life might had been the same without the touch of relationship or fights or break ups. The most important people in our lives might not be with us from the start but they lasts with us till the end. And I know, Harry will be there with me always.
When our families came to knew about our relationship, they were shocked a bit. Except my mom. Like I always said, moms always knew everything. Especially my mom. Everyone accepted our relationship and when I told everything to Noah, he also felt happy for me.
We all were graduated and along with Harry, I went to Australia for business studies. Anna started to work for a company as she had no interest in further studies whereas Roman started to do his masters in Canada.
I didn’t know how the two years of my masters life completed. With Harry by my side, everyday was new. Every moment was amazing though he had been an idiot sometimes. We laughed for silly things, we smiled for little moments and even fought to death sometimes but I never gave up on him and he never gave up on me. That’s how the relationships works. Not giving up on eachother. After all, Harry is the crazy bad boy I ever met, who wanted to do good by my side. How could I lose him?
At present we finished our masters and reached my town. As usual Harry and my mom had been roasting me with their stupid satirical comments and I kept shouting at them. Within few minutes, Anna and Roman too joined with us. They reached the town the morning at the same time we reached. After our talks and laughs with my mother, we all walked out. While walking and laughing on the roads like we own the town, Anna bumped into someone; a beautiful blonde girl.
“Are you alright?” A pair of hairs held the blonde girl and I was shocked to see the owner of the hands. It was Ben.
Ben and I froze for a moment looking at eachother. I broke my gaze hearing Harry “You still alive, Ben?”
“Harry?” I shouted.
I didn’t fear looking at Ben. To be frank, I didn’t feel any emotion. I just smiled. Oh my god! I smiled at Ben and he smiled back. Not his smirk but a gentle smile. He was changed from a silly boy to a gentleman.
“Stella? How are you?” he asked.
“With me by her side, she will always be wonderful.” Harry made a proud face and kissed me on my cheek. I looked at him raising my eyebrows but he dodged my look. He asked “I thought you left the town. What are you doing here, Ben?”
Ben shrugged his shoulders saying “We came casually. This is my town too, forgot? And she is my girlfriend, Rosalyn.” He introduced the blonde girl.
“She is beautiful.” I smiled.
Ben nodded his head and left with his girlfriend. We reached the restaurant and saw Vickie there. What a day! At first Ben then Vickie. Her face was changed a bit. She didn’t apply over makeup like she always did and she was wearing a full length frock, which astounded me as she was always opposed to such dresses. She was with a guy, whose back was facing me.
“Guys! Vickie.” I told everyone.
“Oh what should we do? Should we go and say, Hey Vickie, long time no see.” Anna rolled her eyes while Harry was focused on his food.
I stood from there and walked to them. As soon as Vickie saw me, her eyes went widened.
“Hey!” I smiled and she let out a sigh.
The guy, who was accompanied her, turned his face to me and I was shocked.
“Stella!” he said and stood from the chair.
“Stefan?” I narrowed my eyebrows. Though he left the town many years before, I still remembered his face. Although he changed a bit, his cute dimple cheeks, blue eyes remained same.
“Ugh! Why the hell did you come?” Vickie shouted.
“I came to talk to you, Vickie. And what’s Stefan doing here?”
Vickie held my hand and dragged me to the washroom leaving Stefan. She shouted “I met him recently and we both are in relationship. We are going to marry soon and you do not come in between us.”
I scoffed hearing her and shouted “The hell you are! Why would I do that? I have Harry with me.”
“Good for us all.” She rolled her eyes and we strolled to Stefan.
I congratulated them both and hugged Vickie whispering in her ear “Told you. You deserve better. You got your first love who is so handsome and I guess he is as good as always.”
Then I walked away from there. I told Anna about her marriage and they started commenting on Stefan’s future. After few minutes, we went to granny’s grave then to the nearby city, roamed the places then to carnival and went to all other places we always visit. Roman and Anna left leaving us both.
As usual, we went to our favourite spot; the lake. We both sat there while I cuddled him and he pulled me to closer to him. I looked into his eyes saying “Promise me, you will never leave me.”
“Why would I ever leave you, princess? I want to laugh with you, fight with you, be with you till the end.” He kissed my forehead saying “I swear on you, I will never leave you.”
Then I kissed him on his lips saying “I love you, Harry.”
“I have something for you.” He stood from there and stepped away to a distance.
He cleared his throat shouting “Ladies and Gentlemen…”
I stood from there muttering “What?”
“Oh! No ladies and Gentlemen. Fine. Trees and lake, air and surroundings and whoever present here, you are the witnesses.”
“Harry?” I laughed with his stupid behaviour.
He said “I know I’m suck at this. But you have to bear with me.”
“What?”
Suddenly he knelt on his one leg and took out the ring box from his pocket that made me gasp.
“Argh! Why do they introduced this kneeling? My knee is hurting with the twigs and small stones.” He mumbled looking at the ground.
“Harry?”
He looked at me and said “Marry me, Stella.”
I started to laugh in happiness while my eyes started to fill with water.
He continued “I know this is not a romantic proposal but I don’t know how to say in any poetic way. So adjust with it. Marry me, Stella.”
I nodded my head and sat on my knees in front of him. I hugged him saying “You should ask, will you marry me, Stella?”
“Whatever that is, you will marry me, right?”
“Of course idiot. I will marry you.” I said while tears started to roll down my cheeks. We then stood from there and he slid the ring into my finger looking into my eyes.
“I love you, Stella. Forever and ever.”
Never thought my life would be in that way. Before him, my life was so simple. But everything changed from the moment he entered into my life. He made me experience the things which I thought not meant for a girl like me and I’m glad for everything and every change that occurred. Happy that my life changed from a routine one to a bit mischievous and it’s amazing to change from a decent little girl to The bad boy’s princess.
