Please make sincere repentance to Allah before as Ali (ra) said, "Today is deed without reckoning and tomorrow is reckoning without deeds". Sincere repentance has four conditions :

Feeling bad for the sin

Firm commitment in intention not to repeat sin (whether it happens again is not a condition if one tried his best)

Make repentance to Allah by Du'a and asking or better crying for forgiveness

If some person has been wronged because of this sin then one needs to make up to this person.

Tit for Tat

A farmer went to town to buy a pickup truck that he saw advertised in
the paper for a certain price. After telling the salesman
which truck he wanted, they sat down to do the paperwork. The salesman
handed the farmer the bill, and the farmer declared, "This isn't the
price I saw!"

The salesman went on to tell the wise old farmer how he was getting
extras such as power brakes, power windows, special tires etc. and that
was what took the price up. The farmer need the truck badly,
paid the price and went home.

A few months later, the salesman called up the farmer and said,
"My son is in 4-H and he needs a cow for a project. Do you have any for
sale?"
The farmer said, "Yes, I have a few cows, and I would sell for $500.00
apiece. Come look at them and take your pick."

The salesman said he and his son would be right out. After spending a
few hours in the field checking out all the farmer's cows, the two
decided on one and the salesman proceeded to write out a check for
$500.00.

The farmer said--------"Now, wait a minute, that's not the final price
of the cow. You're getting extras with it and you have to pay for that
too."
