Chapter 31

Sehej Singh Aulakh

Planning the surprise for Jasnoor was both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. I knew I had to pull out all the stops to show her how deeply sorry I was for hurting her, and I was determined to make it a moment she would never forget.

As I sat down at my desk, pen in hand and a blank sheet of paper before me, I racked my brain for ideas. I wanted to do something special, something that would not only make up for my past mistakes but also show her how much she meant to me.

After what felt like hours of brainstorming, inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning. I would recreate our first date – the one where we had shared our first laugh, our first touch, our first kiss. It was a moment filled with magic and wonder, and I hoped that by reliving it, I could reignite the spark that had once burned so brightly between us.

With a plan in place, I set to work. I booked a table at the same restaurant where we had shared our first meal together, making sure to request our favorite dishes and a bottle of her favorite wine. I arranged for a bouquet of her favorite flowers to be waiting at the table, along with a handwritten note expressing my deepest apologies and my unwavering love for her.

But I didn't stop there. I wanted to make the evening truly unforgettable, so I enlisted the help of a talented musician to serenade us with our favorite songs throughout the night. I also arranged for a surprise dessert – her favorite chocolate cake, adorned with a single candle to mark the occasion.

As the day of the surprise drew near, my excitement grew with each passing moment. I couldn't wait to see the look of joy and surprise on Jasnoor's face when she realized what I had planned for her. I hoped with all my heart that this would be the first step towards healing the rift between us and rebuilding the love we had once shared.

Finally, the evening of the surprise arrived. I dressed in my best suit, nerves fluttering in my stomach as I made my way to the restaurant. As I stepped inside, I felt a rush of anticipation wash over me, my heart pounding in my chest as I waited for Jasnoor to arrive.

And then, like a vision from heaven, she walked through the door, her beauty taking my breath away. I watched as her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the restaurant decked out in all its glory, the smile that lit up her face filling me with a sense of joy I hadn't felt in weeks.

"Sehej, what is all this?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder as she took in the scene before her.

"It's a surprise, Jasnoor," I replied, unable to keep the smile from my face. "A way for me to show you how deeply sorry I am for what happened, and how much you mean to me."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she took in the bouquet of flowers, the handwritten note, and the musician serenading us with our favorite songs. "Sehej, this is...this is amazing," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

As we sat down at the table and shared our first meal together, I felt a sense of peace settle over me. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, I felt hopeful – hopeful that this would mark the beginning of a new chapter in our relationship, one filled with love, forgiveness, and endless possibilities. And as I looked into Jasnoor's eyes, I knew that no matter what the future held, as long as we were together, we could overcome anything that stood in our way.
