Pat's POV
We returned to our villa, exhausted but exhilarated from our snorkeling adventure.
Abhishek smiled mischievously. "Rest for now. We have plans tonight."
I raised an eyebrow. "What plans?"
"Surprise," he whispered.
That evening, we dressed for dinner, and Abhishek led me to the villa's garden.
As we stepped into the beautifully decorated area, shouts of "Surprise!" filled the air.
Friends and family, including Rohit, Shikhar, and Rachel, surrounded us.
Tears of joy pricked at the corners of my eyes.
Abhishek took my hand. "I wanted to celebrate our love."
The party was in full swing. Laughter, music, and love filled the air.
Rohit approached, a wide grin on his face. "We're thrilled for you both."
Shikhar nodded. "You two are meant to be."
Rachel hugged me tightly. "I'm so happy for you, Pat."
Abhishek's family, including his parents and sister, welcomed me warmly.
"Pat, you're part of our family now," Abhishek's mother said.
As we mingled, I realized:
This surprise party wasn't just a celebration.
It was a testament to our love's strength.
A love that bridged cultural differences.
A love that conquered rivalry.
A love that shone brighter with every passing day.
The night wore on, filled with stories, jokes, and toasts.
Abhishek's eyes locked onto mine.
"I love you, Pat," he whispered.
"I love you too," I replied.
As the party concluded, we shared a tender kiss.
