One good thing

 She: Such a beautiful evening.

He: uh-huh...

She: The breeze seems so heavenly.

He: uh-huh...

She: Doesn't everything look golden as the time nears sunset?

He: umm-hmm

She: This is the favorite part of my day. The setting sun imparting so many different colors to the sky and everything that it touches

He: uh-huh...

She: I can't get enough of it

He: uh-huh...

She: I am so happy to be sitting next to you watching such an awesome scene from the comfort of our room...truly I am so blessed. So blessed!

He: uh-huh...

She: I absolutely love being with you, you are everything to me.

He: uh!

She: Your turn

He: uh-huh

She: I said it's your turn

He: huh?

She: Your turn

He: uh-oh!

She: You weren't listening to me, were you?

He: huh?

She: Well, I don't want to descend into a bad mood at this glorious hour, so I shall let it pass...

He: huh!

She: So, basically I have been saying some really nice things about you and I want you to say one good thing to me...your turn :-)

He: ah!

She: I am waiting...

He: ...

She: If this is that stupid song that you claim to be our song, I don't want to hear it. The first few times it was cute but not the 152nd time and definitely not the 153rd time!

He: Ummm...

She: And it better not be that oft-repeated sher that you snagged from Ghalib please. I want something original from you. It's hard I know, but you have to do it for me this one time - just one good thing!

He: hic

She: And if you even think about uttering an insipid I-love-you, you better think again!

He: hic...hic...hic

She: Also, that SRK film that you mouth dialogues from is 100 years old.

He: huh?

She: I want to hear something I haven't heard or read before. Not in a song, neither in a film, neither in a book.

He: ulp...

She: I want to listen to your heart. I want to feel your love for me in your words.

He: huh?

She: I want you to sing from the depths of your being. I want you to make me feel on top of the world...you know in the seventh heaven kind of thing...

He: UH-HUH!

She: You can tell me how lovely I am, how much I mean to you, that you can live without breathing, but that you can't live with me.

He: huh?

She: Isn't that right? I mean I am sure you can live without breathing on your own, but I sure can bet that you can't live a minute without me in your life. Isn't that so dear?

He: uh-huh!

She: Awww Sweetie, this is the best day of my life. You have never said anything as endearing to me as you did just now.

He: :-)

She: I love you so much, love. Thank you for making this beautiful day even better.

He: I will say one more one-good-thing...

She: you will?

He: In fact more than one good thing...

She: This must be a dream, surely!

He: Your simplicity amazes me. It doesn't take a lot to make you happy and that quality of yours makes me love you with the same intensity that you love me. Meri jaan, you truly are the best thing to ever happened to me.

She: It is a dream!

He: uh-huh!
