Veronica stared at Reuben's beautiful grey orbs and whispered on his lips softly, "I too have a surprise waiting for you, love."
"Are you serious? You really have a surprise for me?" Reuben asked looking a little bit shocked.
Although Veronica had always prioritised there relationship the most and gave him lots of gifts before, but still he didn't except a surprise from her right at this moment..
He was well aware of her busy schedule. As now everyone knew that she was the CEO of Creation, so everyone wanted to have a meeting with her…specially her old clients.
And Veronica being herself, was a little bit guilt ridden for hiding her identity from her business partners so long, agreed to have meetings with them.
On top of that, she also had the pressure of their wedding and their honeymoon for which she needed to work ahead so that there won't be any problem when she was not there.
That's why, Reuben thought that Veronica would not have any time to prepare any gifts for him and a surprise was a thing which he didn't even imagine in his dreams!
But who was Veronica Lopez after all?
A girl who loved Reuben immensely without any selfishness or demands in her heart. So how could she not prepare something memorable for him!
Especially, when they were celebrating the last day of their bachelorhood along with their fifth anniversary..
Veronica smiled at him and said, "Yes... A surprise! Now be a good boy and close your eyes. Don't even think of peeking. If you try to cheat, then I promise that the outcome will not be good for you."
Reuben nodded like an obedient child and closed his eyes, very much excited about the surprise that his fiance was going to give him.
Veronica held his hands and guided him towards the other part of the backyard. She made sure to give him few glances to check if he had really kept his eyes close or just pretending..
To her relief, Reuben really had his eyes shut as per Veronica's order..
As soon as Veronica reached the place where she had prepared a small surprise for Reuben, she took a big sigh and let his eyes free from her hold.
Reuben adjusted his eyesight to his surroundings and when his eyes finally fell on the surprise waiting for him, his jaw dropped completely in shock.
There was a tent made in the middle of the garden, covered with a blanket. A soft white mattress was placed on the soft grass which was covered with cushions.
Fairy lights were hanging from the sides whereas few snacks along with soft drinks were also being kept there just beside the decorative items.
But what attracted Reuben the most was a LED TV hanging on the artificial wall where the videos of his childhood were playing..
Reuben's eyes teared up seeing the beautiful arrangement his soon to be wife had done just to surprise him.
It was a simple decoration but really lavish from heart...
"It's beautiful, Ica.." Reuben whispered, gazing at Veronica with his eyes full of love.
Veronica smiled brightly at him and said, "That's not the end of the surprise, Bennie. Because, I have a gift for you too."
Reuben's eyes lit up like 3d blub when he heard Veronica. He couldn't believe that Veronica had arranged all of this amidst of her busy schedule.
It was not difficult for Veronica to understand what Ivan was actually thinking in his mind right now..
She just smiled at him lovingly and encircled her hands around his neck, making him come out of his trance as he too wrapped his strong arms around his beautiful fiance's waist.
"Don't think too much Bennie. If you can give me surprises in spite of being so much busy with your office work and wedding preparations…
Then why can't I free some time for my one and only handsome fiance and plan something special for him to make him enjoy the last night of bachelorhood with his soon to be gorgeous wife!" Veronica exclaimed with a cute smile on her face.
Reuben's eyes glistened like stars, seeing the effort the love of his life had put into making the arrangements just to make him feel special.
He bent his head down and gave a small peck on Veronica's rosy lips before murmuring, "Thank you so much love for everything. I'm not going to be grateful to you for this amazing gift because I know you won't like it at all..
But what I want to express to you is, you have made my life colourful in every way. You have not only made me a better person but also show me how a man should protect and love his woman. I love you baby."
Veronica couldn't suppress the smile that was etching on her lips and tiptoed on her feet as she gave him a chaste kiss on his lips before murmuring, "I love you too baby. Now it's time for your gift."
Reuben beamed brightly and spoke with excitement, "I can't wait to see it."
"I too can't wait more to show it to you. And for that, you've to come inside this tent. Come honey." Saying that, Veronica pulled him inside the small blanket house and made him sit on the mattress.
She crawled towards the left side where a big box was wrapped beautifully with a red coloured wrapper. There was also a red rose attached to it, making it look more beautiful.
Veronica brought it towards Reuben and said, "Open it baby. It's all yours now."
Reuben glanced at her for once and then looked at the big box with confusion. Taking a deep breath, he started to unwrap the packaging. And when he finally opened the box, his mouth instantly gaped open widely in complete surprise…
It was a digital painting of both Reuben and Veronica on their surprise engagement day. In the picture, Reuben was holding Veronica by her waist while Veronica had her right hand placed on his shoulder.
Both of them were looking at each other with love filled eyes while their other hand was intertwined with each other, making the ring finger clearly visible to everyone's eyes where their engagement ring was shining brightly just like their beautiful future..
"You made this yourself?"
