Proposal

(Dedicated to all my lovely readers, thank you for all the support. Much love.)

Aselia's head whipped so fast that her hair twirled behind her and the water droplets in them flew and fell on Xiran's face. Her stunned glance landed first on him and then on the box he held in front of her. 

A cuboid-shaped emerald gem embedded in a ring sparkled back at her. The ring lay vertically amidst some silverish semi-liquid that glistened under the sun's rays. 

No way was she expecting him to propose to her like that, on a magical planet, in front of a waterfall that seemed like a milk fall, and in this fashion when they were suspended in the air. Her mouth gaped like a startled bird, momentarily frozen in awe at the unexpected sight before her. 

"Xiran! You are proposing to me?" she couldn't help but ask, clearly shocked at the turn of events. She wanted to extend her hand and touch the shining gemstone.
