Surprise!

Reyhaan nodded in understanding, "Let's go. I have a surprise for you!" Reyhaan said giving her a doting look.

Sora raised her brows, not expecting where this is coming from.

"A surprise?"

Reyhaan nodded and grinned mysteriously.

Sora nodded excitedly then she picked up her purse. She was eager to see the surprise he had for her.

Reyhaan walked beside her and held her hand. They walked through the hotel corridor while Reyhaan still held her hand.

Sora could see others curiously gazing at them but she didn't want to give a damn to their gossip! Sora got into the car and left with Reyhaan.

After half an hour the car suddenly stopped at the beach. Sora turned to look at Reyhaan.

"What are we doing at the beach?" she asked, her face beamed but she suppressed her happiness not to look obvious.

Reyhaan said warmly at her, "You would know soon."

He got out of the car and went to open the door for her. Reyhaan held her hands, his warm hands interwinding with her had completely lifted her mood.

"Let's go," Reyhaan said pursing his lips nervously. He really hopes that she likes his surprise!

They walked for a few minutes before stopping at a particular place. Sora froze when she saw the scene in front of her.

There was an aisle of the red carpet leading to flameless tea light candles shaped in the form of a square. Inside that, it had a dome-shaped shade made of off-white cloth, and parts of it hung down towards the floor at the square-shaped base which moved along the breeze covered with delicate flowers on the corner of each pole. At the center of the candles was a table with lit tealight candles, placed in an antique candle holder on the table. White napkins were spread on the table with a bouquet of flowers in the middle. A bottle of apple juice was lying in a bucket of ice waiting to be drunk. It was a quiet spot where you can relax, where you have a good view of the scene and privacy. It seems private beach.

Instantly her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. She was in shock! Sora never thought Reyhaan would take his time to prepare such a surprise dinner. She can see he put a lot of thought and effort into this.

'Whoa! When did he get this much time to prepare everything? He was busy with us all the time! Or, he was ready with this thinking we will get the contract and celebrate anyhow! He really surprised me!', Sora thought.

The two stood there quietly as the cold breeze continued to pass them. Sun disappeared and the surrounding was covered with darkness but it didn't feel scary as the lights from the front were visible. Now that small place with so many lights looked so attractive for one to be not able to take their eyes off!

"Do you like it?" Reyhaan nervously asked as he scratched the back of his head.

Sora turned to face a very nervous-looking Reyhaan. She could see the anxiety in his deep eyes. 'Was he afraid that she wouldn't like it? '

"No.", Sora pursed her lips as her devil just woke up.

Hearing her answer, his face dropped as he looked at his shoes, now feeling disappointed in himself. That bubbly feeling to impress her disappeared somewhere. He thought he may know her so she may like it.

"Oh…!" He trailed off, not knowing what to say. "If you don't like it, we can go to a restaurant," he added flatly, trying his best to hide his sadness.

Sora stared at him, and soft laughter came from her. She could not bear the disappointment in his voice so she broke the silence.

"I love it, Reyhaan!", Sora chirped.

"Huh?" Reyhaan asked blankly, he thought he had heard her wrong.

"I don't just like it—I love it rather. It's so beautiful!"

Reyhaan's face beamed with a smile when he heard her. Seeing his beautiful smile, an unexpected warmth rushed through her. Sora couldn't help but also smile. Reyhaan felt his heart beating as he stared at her in a daze.

"Are you going to stare at me all night with that look, hmmm?" Sora laughed as she teasingly asked.

Reyhaan grinned, "Umm, No no! I don't want you to starve!" he hummed, now feeling satisfied with the surprise he had prepared!

"Be careful!", Reyhaan said while walking towards the arrangements as Sora wore high heels. Sora followed him quietly, letting him hold her hand in a daze. At that moment, she felt like she is a teen, going on a romantic date with her prince charming. Both little devil and angel sora was behind her flying and fluttering happily! 'Yeah it sounds like a date', both chirped in unison!

Reyhaan took her towards the table and chair arranged under the well-decorated place which was lightened up with numerous decorative lights and candles. He pulled out a chair for her then Reyhaan sat across from her and smiled satisfactorily.

The moment they sat down a waiter came to pour the juice and left without saying anything. Reyhaan cleared his throat and offered her one of the glasses as he said, "Actually, I also don't drink. Well, I don't see anything special in drinking so mostly I avoid it."

Reyhaan quietly picked up his glass and spoke, "It's very rare and has been a long time since I tried it. So I prefer juice!"

"Good for us!", Sora clinked her glass with him.

Sora smiled lightly hearing it and then raised her eyebrow as she gave him a satisfied look, 'I think we are both the same in this! Way to go dear!'
