Pat's POV

Weeks passed, and the tournament intensified. Abhishek's team made it to the semifinals, while I wrapped up my shoots. Our vacation plans remained a cherished secret, fueling our excitement.

Finally, the day arrived. Abhishek's team secured a thrilling win, and we embarked on our getaway.

"Where are we headed?" I asked, excitement building.

Abhishek grinned mischievously. "It's a surprise."

The flight took us to the picturesque Maldives. Crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and lush greenery enveloped us.

As we stepped into our beachside villa, I gasped. "This is paradise."

Abhishek chuckled. "I knew you'd love it."

Our days blurred into a serene haze. We spent mornings snorkeling, afternoons lounging in hammocks, and evenings watching sunsets.

One evening, as we strolled along the beach, Abhishek turned to me.

"Pat, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You challenge me, support me, and love me unconditionally."

My heart swelled. "You're my rock, Abhishek. My soulmate."

We shared a tender kiss under the starry sky.

The next day, Abhishek planned a surprise picnic on a secluded island. We sailed there, laughing and teasing each other.

As we settled onto the sandy beach, Abhishek revealed a beautifully set table, complete with candles and flowers.

"This is magical," I whispered.

Abhishek's eyes sparkled. "I wanted to make this trip unforgettable."

We savored each bite, our love growing with every passing moment.

That night, as we gazed at the star-filled sky, I realized:

This vacation wasn't just an escape.

It was a celebration of our love.

A love that conquered rivalry, societal expectations, and personal demons.

A love that shone brighter with each passing day.
