Mankirat Singh

The evening was quiet, the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm, comforting light throughout our apartment as Sukhi and I settled in for the night. I was engrossed in a book when Sukhi's phone rang, interrupting the peaceful silence with its familiar ringtone. Glancing up, I watched as Sukhi's expression shifted from curiosity to surprise as she answered the call.

"Jasleen?" Sukhi's voice held a note of curiosity as she listened to her sister on the other end of the line. I couldn't hear what Jasleen was saying, but the way Sukhi's eyes widened in astonishment told me that whatever news she was sharing was significant.

My curiosity piqued, I set my book aside and moved closer to Sukhi, silently urging her to share the conversation with me. As Sukhi listened intently, I couldn't help but wonder what could have prompted such a reaction from her usually composed sister.

Suddenly, Sukhi's face broke into a wide smile, her eyes shining with excitement as she exclaimed, "Jasleen, that's wonderful news!" I couldn't hear Jasleen's response, but from the way Sukhi's eyes sparkled with joy, I knew it was something special.

Leaning in closer, I whispered, "What's going on? Is everything okay?"

Sukhi turned to me, her smile widening as she shared the news. "Jasleen has a boyfriend," she revealed, her voice filled with happiness and pride.

A grin spread across my face at the news, my heart swelling with happiness for Sukhi's sister. "That's fantastic!" I exclaimed, unable to contain my excitement. "Tell her congratulations from me."

As Sukhi continued to talk to her sister, I couldn't help but marvel at the way love had a way of weaving its magic into the fabric of our lives, bringing joy and excitement in unexpected ways. It was moments like these that reminded me of the beauty and wonder of human connection, of the power of love to uplift and inspire even in the darkest of times.

Listening to Sukhi's animated conversation with her sister, I felt a sense of gratitude wash over me for the love and happiness that surrounded us. For in the warmth of Sukhi's smile and the joy in her voice, I found a reflection of my own happiness, a reminder of the incredible journey we had undertaken together.

As Sukhi ended the call with her sister, her face still lit up with excitement, I pulled her into a tight embrace, reveling in the shared joy of the moment. For in the quiet intimacy of our embrace, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would always have each other, bound together by the unbreakable bonds of love and family.
