Valentine's Day Special #truestory

It was 13th if February and we had just had a fight. It was nothing i told myself. It will soon be over, he usually does come back.Usually, but this was not a usual situation. It was big, we recently had an argument about something in which i was at no fault. I know , girls are under the impression that they are never at fault, but in this particular case I was not at fault.

You see I am a very career conscious women, and I want to be a writer. Being a small fish in a large pond,it is mandatory for me as of now to build relationships in the market. So last Sunday I went for a meeting with the editor of a large news house ( which i can not name ). He wanted me to write Hindi subtitles for a short movie to which i agreed free of cost.
And that seemed to infuriate him in a strange and unrecognizable way. He came back for work late night (we are a live in couple ) As it is, we share everything that happens during the entire day with us ,so i told him about the meeting. To which his first reaction was 'People use you for their work and you let them do that.'

I was calm, and tried to reason with him. 'but i did it to gain experience and learn how things actually work, whats wrong with that ?'
'Nothing is wrong with that , just stop trusting people so easily'
'But I will have to trust them, to move forward.'
And this went on and on , to the extent that he started yelling at me and I slapped him telling him that no one has the right to yell at me after which he just left the room.

An hour later I found myself sitting on the balcony wondering whatever went so wrong. We were together since college, it has been four years and never till now he had behaved like this. The funny thing I was  planning my future with him.Just the other day my mother wanted  me to meet some banker which i straight away denied , although i was unable to openly tell my mother about him , I made it a point to doing that sometime later. I had made up my mind to adjust with his joint family where a working women like myself would be dreaded to even enter.

But how could it work if he only was not serious about this. If only did not understand my point of view and how important this was for me. Things became blurry in front of me and there was not a thing i could do to make things right,and before I knew it I started to cry.

At 12 in the night my doorbell rang. I sprung right up, hoping it would be him . But when i opened the door, there was no one around. we lived in a society so it was out of the way that it was some thief, but as i was alone in the house I was shitting bricks, literally, I closed all the doors and windows of the flat and went to my room locking the bedroom from inside. Just as i turned around, He was there on his knees wih a ring in his hand.
'Are you out of your mind, you scared me to death !'
'Baby, I love you and I want to marry you.'
' Just shut up, Okay Just be quiet, What are you even saying ? We just had a fight'
'Yea, and it made me realize I can not live without you , so please be mine and marry me, my knees are hurting.'
And then the rest of the part is a bit private so I cant write about it here. But FYI , I accepted the proposal. And regarding that career thing, I realize no relationship is perfect, nothing just magically works we have to make it work.

And so we are  celebrating this valentine's day together. :)
