Chapter 128: Worthy Husband

Dinner was perfect and was the very first Valentine's day I was celebrating. I was glad I could share this night with Gerard.

We stood by the railings and looked at the lights from the top of the building. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

"I wish we could stay here forever. It's so beautiful." I commented as I stared longingly at the scene and Gerard nodded.

He sighed and took off his jacket then placed it over me. I looked at him confused but his response was warmer than the jacket.

"The weather is cold up here." he didn't look at me but his action and words made my heart flutter.

I smiled and focused on the lights again. Soon, it got darker and darker but the city was still buzzing with couples living their life to the fullest and families catching up on this special occasion.

"Would you like to play the piano now?" he asked tearing his gaze from the scene.

I pursed my lips. Now that he asked, I was a little timid. I never played the piano for anyone except my teacher Mr Gregory, my father.

"Um..." I hesitated.

"Come with me." he took my hand and walked to the piano.

My heart raced as I stared at our hands which were locked together. 'Why do I feel strange. It's not like we haven't done more than just holding hands but why mesmerized by this man and his every action?'

"Here." he let go of my hand and drew the chair for me to sit.

'You got this Ayla, you can do it.' I convinced myself and sat on the chair.

Sigh. I closed my eyes and placed my hands on the keys. It has been a while since I last played but I hope I can remember a thing or two.

I pressed and the sound came out well. I certainly wasn't going to sing but the melody from the sound alone was enough to drown me in an ocean.

The entire place went silent and the only sound that could be heard was that from the piano.

The sound went on for a long time until I hit a note that didn't sound right. I furrowed my brow and pressed it again but it still didn't make a clear sound.

However, I continued to play and finally came to an end. Only then did I open my eyes and found Gerard staring at me with an expression I couldn't read.

A smile formed on my face and at that moment, the other people playing the violin began to clap for me.

My smile grew wider feeling that I made a good decision by playing this sound.

Everyone was clapping except for Gerard who was still staring at me with an unfathomable expression.

I got out of the chair and slowly walked to him. "So, what do you think? Did I do well?" I asked waiting for his comment.

His eyes were fixated on mine and I didn't know why he wasn't saying anything. "Why? Did something happen?" I asked confused.

"You missed a note," he spoke about the key that sounded as though it was broken.

"Ah... That. It sounds broken." I smiled awkwardly wondering if it sounded that bad that he just had to mention it.

"Let me see." he walked up to the piano and knelt on one knee causing everyone to stare at him confused.

"That tuxedo certainly costs some millions. Why is he kneeling with it simply because of a broken key?" one of the vocalists asked confused.

I was equally confused as to why he wanted to fix the broken Key and even knelt with such an expensive suit.

I pursed my lips and walk up to him to tell him to forget about it but in the next second, just as I got closer to him, he turned around still with one of his knees on the ground.

"I've found it. This was what was causing that sound." he showed me a ring and I sighed.

"I never would have guessed." I smiled feeling relieved that he fixed the piano.

I could hear gasps from my side and wondered why they were so amused seeing that the piano was fixed and why wasn't Gerard standing up?

Gerard sighed heavily. "I could seal a big deal and secure an investment but saying this is hard not because I don't want to but I feel you are worth more and deserve better." he smiled and I blinked twice.

"What... What's going on?" I asked confused as to why he was talking like that with a ring in his hand. Someone might get the wrong impression.

"You deserved more but I'll be selfish all the way. Ayla... I never got the chance to do this and..."

I blinked twice and my heart was pounding like a matching drum. We got married in a rush and I don't even recall the details. 'Is he asking me to be his wife properly now? I can't believe my eyes.'

"...and I want to make it right now... What I'm saying is, would you do me the honour of making me a worthy husband?" this was the first time Gerard was ever nervous about something.

I couldn't believe that he was asking me to be his wife for real. I was too surprised and didn't even know that he was waiting for an answer.

"Say yes..." someone shouted and only then did I come to my senses.

I was overwhelmed and had my hand over my mouth. I nodded smiling and said "Who starts a proposal with business deals? Yes... Yes..."

Gerard smiled and finally stood to his feet. He placed the ring on my finger and it fit perfectly.

Under the watchful gaze of the people present, Gerard leaned in and our lips sealed. I couldn't stop smiling and placed my palm on his chest kissing him back.

What better way to wrap up the evening?

The people present clapped and couldn't help but feel happy as well.. Seeing a couple's proposal is one of the most romantic things and anyone would smile.
