Chapter 311 - Try again and again till last breath...

"Willa… I was always attracted to you from the moment I've met you for the first time but never got the guts to confess. But today I want to end all of my obligations by professing my love to you. 

I love you, Willa…"

Willa's eyes brimmed with tears as soon as Neil muttered those three magical words for her. She was so much happy that she didn't know what to do except professing her true feelings to him...

Before she could give any response to him, Neil gripped her hand more tightly and fondled it before saying, "I'm not yet finished honey. Say whatever you want after I'm done with expressing myself."

When Willa nodded her head, Neil continued, "I love you so much Willa that I can't imagine my life without you. So I'm going to take a big step of my life. Though I'm not sure if you will accept it or not as it can be still too early for you. But I'm extremely sure about myself.."

Closing his eyes, Neil took a deep breath and then reopened his bright orbs.

Taking out some kind of velvety box from his pocket he presented it in front of Willa unopened before asking nervously, "Will you marry me Willa and be my wife for the rest of our life?"

Loud gasps resonated in the whole room as everyone was shocked to the core as they never expected something unexpected like this to come so suddenly...

Especially, the four girls were so mush shell shocked that they couldn't able to move from their positions. Veronica and Lucinda were staring at Neil with their eyes and mouth opened widely. 

Professing of love was one thing but directly proposing for marriage was totally unexpected from Neil as per Veronica and Lucinda's expression...

They never thought that this much big kind of a bomb would fall upon them that they would be totally out of words..

However, the boys were grinning so widely as if like it was them who made the proposal and got accepted by their own girls. They were giving Neil a secret thumbs up for his bravery.

On the other side, the family members specially Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were completely dumbfounded with their son's sudden change of personality but they were really happy because of it. 

Actually all the elders were now internally praying for Willa to accept Neil's proposal without any delay.

Willa hadn't uttered even a single letter till now as shock was completely evident on her face. Tears were running over her red cheeks and those seemed to be really unstoppable at that certain moment.

Seeing her crying like this, Neil got panicked and immediately rose up on his feet before holding her shoulder.

He wiped her tears and said quickly, "It's okay Willa. You don't have to say yes at this moment. I just told you what I feel. You can reject me now as there is no such pressure like that..

You can take your own time to decide and I promise you that I'd not force on this matter anymore. But if you reject me today, I'll try for the next time...

And if I get rejected again next time…I'll still try again and again till my last breath.…"

Neil continued to blabber like this on and on for few more seconds and Willa just continued to observe him with her tear strained eyes.

Finally couldn't able to control herself anymore, she hugged him tight and whispered in his ears, "Yes…"

"Oh!! You said No.. It's okay… Though it hurts like hell in my heart by your rejection but I understand.. So I'll try again….." Neil continued to blabber, however when his pea sized brain registered the answer of Willa, he abruptly stopped.

"Wait…What???!!!" Neil asked loudly as he was not able to believe his own ears...

Willa laughed at his weird behavior and pulled herself a little away from him.

Still holding his waist tightly, Willa looked into his dark blue orbs where she could find only love for her.

Cupping his left cheek with her right hand while still embracing him with her other hand, she confessed, "Yes Neil. I will marry you. And I love you too.."

The moment Neil heard those tickling words of her, he immediately took her into his comfortable embrace and smashed his lips on hers.

Again, the guests present there got another shock of their life, seeing Neil kissing Willa in the presence of so many people, not caring about them at all...

Finally, when they were out of breath then only Neil stopped the kiss and joined their foreheads together, breathing heavily.

The silence broke when Veronica, Lucinda along with Diana and Myra smiled widely and started clapping their hands like little kids. Soon others also joined them.

"Okay guys.. If you're done with your crying then let's exchange the rings now." Reuben said.

Neil nodded his head and took Willa towards the stage. Opening the velvety box, he took out the diamond ring.

Then capturing Willa's hand, he slipped the diamond ring into her finger which made Willa shed some happy tears...

Louis took out another box from his pocket and handed it to Willa before saying, "Now, put this ring on Neil's finger. He had already arranged it from before."

Willa smiled at him and placed the beautiful ring on Neil's finger which promoted them to an officially engaged couple..

Everyone clapped for them and took as many pictures as they could. The celebration of the party had been doubled as now there was not only engaged couple but two...

Mr. Wilson side hugged Willa and said, "Welcome to our family princess."

"Thanks Dad.." Willa said, feeling emotional.

Mrs. Wilson kissed her on the forehead and wished her, "From now on, you're my another daughter. I'll love you as much I love my Lucinda."

Willa hugged her tightly and said, "I'll try to fulfil all my duty as a daughter, Mom.."

As all of them were busy in congratulating the couple and laughing with each other while enjoying the teasings, a voice stopped them, "Sir... Here is your parcel..."
