Chapter 357 - Marry You...

Her primary thought after seeing him along with her friends was that...they were going to sing a chorus or something like that to recollect all of their past sweet and sour memories but her damp broken when the lyrics of the song started rolling on…

"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you…

Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice

Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you…"

As soon as the lyrics reached Veronica's ears, her eyes popped out in surprise and she gasped her mouth in shock. Tears started to form in her eyes as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

No, this time neither Reuben nor her friends were singing in chorus nor they were acting in a drama but it was way more than that..

Their friends were dancing on the song with a happy smile on their faces. While Reuben was performing his well learned dance, standing in the middle of them but his eyes were only focused on her.

Right at the moment, the actual reason of the party became clear to her. She was now sure that it was not just a party to celebrate their love but it was a surprise proposal party which might turn into a engagement party really soon!!

The beautiful song 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars was completely perfect for the proposal of marriage and Reuben being the always innovative boyfriend had used the song in the most fabulous way..

Her tears started falling on her cheeks, making it completely wet. However, a smile was always hanging on her lips.

"Oh

I'll go get a ring

Let the choir bell sing like ooh

So what you wanna do

Lets just run girl…"

As the lyrics passed on, immediately Neil and Henry came running towards her and handed two red roses to her each, making her chuckle at them.

Her smile intensified when Willa and Lucinda too came to her while dancing and pecked her cheeks from both sides.

"If we wake up and you want to break up

That's cool

No I won't blame you

It was fun girl…"

At that moment, Jack and Louis approached her with another set of red roses and gave it to her. Veronica passed them a teary smile as they went back on the stage, joining with others in dancing..

Whereas when Veronica heard the lyrics, she shook her head vigorously as if denying the meaning and whispered, "Never! I won't ever break up with you love, nor I'd let you do so."

But her smile turned into another round of shock when she witnessed the next scene. It was the part she had never dreamt or imagined to happen in her life.

Her parents along with Reuben's parents also joined the stage and started dancing with the youngsters. They were looking like they were more energetic and excited than the young generations.

"Just say I do

Tell me right now baby

Tell me right now baby, baby…"

Their parents were looking like they were enjoying more than others, dancing together while clapping their hands, maintaining the choreo in every step..

Veronica laughed at their enthusiasm but didn't forget to mutter, "I do baby.. I really love you and ready to yell to the world anytime that I love you..."

As the lyrics went on, the final verse was about to approach when Myra and Diana who were standing beside Veronica till now, totally enjoying the performance gleefully, pulled her to the middle of the stage..

"Oh

It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you…

Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice

Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you…"

Reuben winked at her pointing his index finger towards her while dancing on the lyrics, earning a chuckle from Veronica..

Finally, the song ended and Reuben walked towards Veronica who was trying very best not to break down in her happy tears.

As Reuben reached to her, Veronica saw him sweating profusely and breathing heavily because of dancing so hard.

Veronica raised her hand and wiped off the drops of perspiration from his forehead which showed her care for him..

Reuben took hold of her hand and kissed her palm softly before grasping both her hands into his. He looked into her eyes expectantly as if asking her to judge his performance..

"You did great baby. I thought you've stopped dancing and singing five years ago. But I'm impressed that even without practicing for all these years, you still are the best dancer whom I always loved…

Your voice is still as melodious like before but became more matured. I loved it baby.. I really really loved it…" Veronica praised him truthfully which brought an instant smile on his face.

Reuben grinned like a child and replied beamingly, "Yes.. I had stopped dancing and singing after Andrew's incident. But to make you happy, I can start everything again."

Veronica chuckled at him but before she could say anything, her friends said together, "No praise for us?"

"Of course! You guys did awesome and I love you all." Veronica complimented them wholeheartedly.

But before this conversation could transfer to any other direction, Reuben squeezed Veronica's hand lightly and giving her a charming smile, he turned his face towards Lopez couple's direction who was watching their interactions happily.

"Mom, Dad… Before I initiate my next move, I want both of your permission for it. Everyone knows that parents' love couldn't be compared to the love of a lover even though he puts all off his efforts on her…

So Dad and Mom… Will you give me the permission to make your daughter mine for my whole life? Will you give me the approval to ask for your princess' hand?

I promise that I'll bring down the stars on her feet and never let her shed a teardrop unless it's because of happiness. I'll become the shoulder for her which she'll rely on when she's down on her mood. So will you approve me to take the further step in our relationship?"
