Dear Rita,
I hope you are doing well. I am very delighted to know that you and Raman are
finally
getting engaged.
It was just like yesterday that you were asking about if he was the one who really meant for you. I am so happy for both of you getting together to create lasting memories.
I know that you will be busy making arrangements and planning to invite guests for this
occasion, but I am so sorry to add burden to your thoughts, unfortunately, I have my final exams falling on the same date as your engagement. I requested my professor to change the dates for my exam, however
, he said that was the only available date for this
month.
So I am planning to visit you after my exams with a beautiful gift that I purchased to celebrate your engagement party. It's a golden necklace and I hope you remember the one that you had dreamed about while
we attended the inauguration function of the popular Jewellery store. It has been on my mind for quite a few days and I finally
managed to get this
to gift you on your engagement. I am eagerly waiting to see you soon. Enjoy the day and convey my wishes to Raman as well.
Take care till then
.
yours lovely,
