Shayaan's POV:-

"Finally the university is over! Now I can rest in peace!" I said to Salman and plopped down on the sofa feeling exhausted.

The last day was fun as everyone chatted and shared hugs before they part for a month. Even Sir Jacob was quite happy with the annual GPA! My bookworm as expected topped the list after her was James. Whereas just because of Haniya's efforts I too did a pretty good job.

"Ready to give her the surprise?" Salman turned towards me with a smirk.

"Sort of! Just a little nervous" I smiled and he raised his eyebrow.

"Its normal for a 19 year old who is taking his girlfriend on a birthday date for the first time!" He assured with a teasing look.

"Just don't get carried away though!" He pointed his finger at me and I laughed.

"Salman!!! I'm a grown up" I whinced and he chuckled.

"But you will always be my little devil!" He made a kissy face.

"Stop pouting bro! I'm taken!" I raised my hands in the air with a horrified expression and he laughed.

Just then Rameen came out of the kitchen holding yummy muffins in her hands.

"Ummm! Rameen you are a pro!" I said eating the muffin.

"Thanks boy!" She smiled and sat with Salman on the other sofa. He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer and she gasped hitting his arm. He leaned closer and pecked her cheek lovingly making her blush!

"Bro! I'm still here! Now who is getting carried away?" I said with a grin and he rolled his eyes while Rameen giggled.

"Day after tomorrow we will head back to LA! Mom and Dad are eager to meet you after a long time which felt like ages" Salman said.

"Ahhh man! I miss them like anything" I sighed letting out a huff of breath.

"We will take Haniya with us too and then I and her will go to Pakistan to meet our parents!" Rameen smiled and I nodded.

"For how long?" Salman frowned looking at his wife.

"For two weeks maybe?" She replied.

"Why can't you have a little mercy on your poor husband? How will I survive without you?" He made a sad face and Rameen kissed him on the cheek.

"Stop being cheesy and help me wash the dishes!" She got up with Salman following her in the kitchen.

"I know you guys will not be probably washing dishes over there!" I yelled with a smirk and Salman's head spun in my direction as he glared at me while my dear sister in law turned a little crimson in face.

"Jealous much?" He fired back and I facepalmed.

"Mean much?" I narrowed my eyes at him as now he stood at the door of the kitchen.

"Salman!" Rameen shouted from inside the kitchen and he went inside straight away.

I went upto my room and fell on my comfy bed with a crash as I took my cell phone in my hand and rested my head on the bed rest. I stared at the beautiful girl on my lock screen.
I traced my fingers through the screen and my heart rate tuged my lips into a huge smile.

Opening my whatsapp I texted Haniya!

Me :- Be ready at 7 babe! I'll pick you up! ;)

Instantly her reply came.

Bookworm :- :D I'll be ready at 7 :) Can't wait to see what you have got in package for me ;)

Me :- Trust me! You will love it :) ❤

Bookworm :- I sure will :* by the way don't make me walk much because I fell down from stairs in the morning while I was rushing downstairs as the elevator was occupied already and I couldn't miss the last day!

Me :- What even? -_______- As far as I know you care about that damn university more than you care about yourself! Nerd for life :p

Bookworm :- Whatever Shayaan!
-_____________- 👈 did you notice? Mine looks bigger and better :p

I laughed at her reply!

She and her ways of bringing a smile on my face!

Me :- You won my highness! I can carry you bridal style as well so no worries ;)

Bookworm :- Shut up! *blushes*

Me:- Ayeeee! *____* you look adorbs! *pulls your cheek*

Bookworm :- Don't -_- *narrows eyes*

Me :- *grinns* :D

Bookworm :- *glares*

Me :- *Laughs*

Bookworm :- *huffs!*

Me:- *pulls you closer and hugs you* Damn!!! I Love You ❤

Bookworm :- 🙈 Damn! I Love You Too!

Ending the converstaion I placed my cell phone on the table as I placed my head on the pillow and decided to take a nap so that I don't look like a zombie or a sleep deprived person at my first ever date.

...

Haniya's POV:-

Getting up from my nap at 6:30 I took a shower and wore a black shirt and white skinny jeans. The weather was cold so I wore a maroon sweater on top of my shirt to keep myself warm. It was a beautiful sweater Shayaan gave me as one of my birthday presents today in the university. I also applied a thin layer of eye liner on my eyes and as Selena insisted I applied a maroon reddish shade on my lips.

I'm not a make up freak but today is a special day!

Selena then straightened my hair and after wearing my maroon stellatoes and getting my clutch in my hand I took a glance at myself in the mirror. My heart was beating fast it always do at even a mere thought of Shayaan.

How this boy was giving me feelings I never felt before was making me adore him even more.

"You look perfectly stunning!" Selena winked at me.

"Thanks babe!" I pulled her into a bear hug.

"Best of luck! Take selfie together ok?" She raised her finger at my face as if threatening me.

"For sure Sel!" I smiled and headed outside. After filling the papers I took a deep sigh before I leave the hostel.

"Date?" The receptionist lady smiled sweetly.

"Date!" I smiled back at her with confirmation while nodding.

"That guy is so sweet! Have fun honey and happy holidays in advance" she showed a thumbs up as she wished me luck.

"He surely is! Thank you. Happy holidays to you too." I said and stepped outside the hostel.

As soon as the cold breeze hit my face I wrapped my arms around my upper half. Even though I was wearing a sweater but It still sent shivers down my spine. I looked around but there was no sight of Shayaan. Just when I was about to turn around, a familiar hand encircled my waist from behind as his warm breath fanned my neck. Knowing who exactly it was I sunk in the touch which made the fireworks pop inside me.

Ahhh the butterflies!

"We are standing on a road mister! Don't start a romance session. People might be staring at us!" I said wrapping my own hands on top of his.

"Who cares!" I felt him smile behind me.

"Ready?" He asked letting go of me and in a mere instant I felt a soft silk febric being wrapped around my eyes.

"Is it necessary?" I pouted.

"Missing my charming face already?" He whispered in my ear softly.

"Proud much?" I laughed and he pulled my cheek.

"I've a valid reason to be proud of! I've you!" He said as he now made me walk probably towards his car. The smile which was lingering on my face didn't want to disappear at any cost.

"Cheesy!" I muttered as I sat on the seat and heard the engine of the car roar to life. He laughed on my statement.

I couldn't see anything. The fact that I have hated darkness since childhood was making me a little uncomfortable but as soon as he rested his hand on mine all the fear vanished somewhere.

"I still remember the camp scene when we both were lost and spent the night in the tent. I switched of the torch just to tease you but you ended up at the verge of crying. God knows the panick attack I got there!" He laughed reliving some old memories.

"Somehow you were always that one girl who I was secretely in love with, without even knowing!" He said intertwining his fingers with mine as he handled the stairing wheel with the other.

"And when I opened my eyes I saw you deadly close to me, wrapping your arm around my neck and staring at me as if no tomorrow! Goshh! My heart was about to explode at that point" I stated as I let out a giggle.

"That's Shayaan's charming effect!" He boasted in attitude making me mentally roll my eyes at him.

"Not to forget the part when I woke up to find your leg on me while you slept peacefully!" I laughed.

"Shit! You were awake? Damn!" He gasped and I could bet he was having horror struck expressions.

"Yeah!" I replied while laughing on which he also went into a guwaf.

Soon the car halted and I heard the door being opened and then being closed. After two seconds my door opened and Shayaan held both my hands and pulled me out of the car as he made me walk to don't know where.

"Hold on to me!" He stated and I clutched on his arm tightly as the thing on which I was standing moved upwards. The chilly air slapped my fragile body making my teeth cackle.

The elevator or whatever it was stopped suddenly and he pulled me out to stand on a flat platform. He then opened the blind fold slowly.

I opened my eyes to come face to face with a gigantic, mesmerizing and breath taking night view of the city of Paris... the city of LOVE!

"Eeeeeeeeee!!!" A shriek left my mouth in happiness.

"Aaaaahhh! This is just perfect Shayaan!" I squealed like a little girl in excitement as I found myself on the 3rd and the top most floor of the Eiffel Tower. I opened my arms to welcome the cold wind to swoosh past me.

"I felt like you have always wanted this!" He hugged me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder. My heart beat accelerated at his touch.

"Having you by my side as I live this beautiful moment is just the cherry on top! It can't get any better" I smiled as my eyes took a tour of the city lights twinkling everywhere, as far as my eyes could witness.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and took a selfie in the posture we were standing in.

He then pulled out a familiar photo album from under his leather jecket.

The same photo album I saw in his room. The one having just my pictures.

"Sorry for secretely taking your pictures all the time, since the camp where I first met you. You know you looked so cute that I couldn't resist. I myself didn't know why I used to take your pictures and even made a seperate album. But everytime I used to be in a bad mood I would look at them and would feel relaxed! They work like magic!" He said flipping through the pages and my heart just melted on hearing his words.

"That attraction turned out to be Love!" He smiled up at me with his twinkling eyes.

"Its just..... I don't have words. Its like everytime I think I have seen the best of you, you prove me wrong" I wrapped my arms around his neck as he rested his on my waist pulling me close. A tear of happiness rolled down my eye and dropped in his jacket.

"Just stay with me Haniya! Never leave me! I will fall apart I swear!" He said snuggling in the crook of my neck giving me tickles as his cold lips moved against my skin while cool breeze was making our bodies shiver.

"Never In my life I will leave you Shayaan" I smiled.

Pulling back we came down and to complete Selena's demand we took a selfie infront of the Tower. I made a pout whereas Shayaan pulled a serious look as we captured the memory.

"Girls and their pouts!" Shayaan shook his head in disbelief and I laughed.

We sat in the car and I placed the album he gave me on the back seat as Shayaan drove off.

"You look so stunning! This beauty of yours will be the death of me someday." He complimented warming my heart. I giggled at his cheesy compliment.

"Thank you! You don't look less handsome yourself!" I winked at him as soon as he moved his head in my direction for a moment before turning his gaze on the road.

We then Stopped at Calife Dinner and Cruise. It was one of the best dinner sensations around the city. What can be better than having a romantic candle light dinner with the love of your life in a large decorated boat as it gives you a tour of the River Siene.

"Damn! I've been dying to come here but I didn't have a date back then! Now I have the most gorgeous girl as My Girl, sitting infront of me!" Shayaan stated looking deep in my eyes.

"Gosh! You are making me blush!" I hide my face in my palms and giggled to myself.

Soon the food arrived and we enjoyed it to the fullest. I gazed at the water waves which were being formed as the boat moved forward.

Suddenly I got reminded of the days when Mom and Dad used to take me out on dinners and to water parks on my birthdays. I tried to contact them but none of them were picking up. Dad must be busy in his office work and Mom must be busy in her boutique too.

"Hey? Where are you lost?" Shayaan asked as he noticed my grim expressions.

"Yeah! Just missing my parents, Its my first birthday without them!" I gave a small smile as I sighed.

"Just few days more and then you will be spending one whole month with them. But I'm gonna miss you so damn much!" He gave a nervous laugh trying to hide his sadness which oozed out on the thought of me going away from him.

Great Haniya! You ruined his mood.

Soon the boat stopped at a bank nearby and we went outside.

"I will miss you too!" I stated as I held his hand in mine. He instantly curled back his fingers around it.

Sitting in the car we then headed to somewhere only Shayaan knew. As the car stopped and we went outside I took a tour of the place through my eyes, It looked like a lake.

We walked for a little while when my eyes caught sight of a small wooden machine boat, floating near the shore and from the distance I could see the Temple Of Love.

I looked at Shayaan in disbelief and he just gave a beautiful smile as he nodded and urged me to sit inside.

I stepped my foot inside, because of my stupid heels I was about to trip and fall myself to death when Shayaan caught my arm in time.

....

Shayaan's POV :-

I turned on the machine and It started moving towards the other side of the shore near the temple.

It was complete dark but the light on the boat was sending its glow on her face. A sudden peaceful silence crept between us.

She rested her head on my shoulder making my heart hammer against my chest and giving me wild sensations.
I wrapped my arm around her neck as she gazed at the reflection of the stars in water. I couldn't look anywhere else but her face.

My Love for you is like a complete trap pulling me towards you even more by every passing minute. I wish I could stop time right here so that I could sink in this beautiful moment. I can't tell you how madly and crazily I've fallen for you Haniya!

As the boat stopped near the shore she stepped out of her heels and placed her foot on the cold sand and made a face making me laugh. We went inside the temple and marveled at the beauty.

I also took my shoes off and we both put them near the shore. We were now bare footed.

"Yuhoo!" She stepped inside the water and twirlled around in happiness.

"Girl! Are you crazy? Its December!" I widened my eyes.

"Any doubt about my craziness?" She stuck her tongue out at me as she splashed the cold water on my face.

"Ok?" I shivered as the sudden coldness hit my neck and face.

With that I stepped inside the water and like 5 year olds we were playing with the freezing cold water splashing it all over eachother. By the time we stepped out we were freezing. The slow breeze was butter to our condition.

"Damn we will fall sick!" She muttered as she shivered visibly.

"Who cares about sickness when you are having the time of your life? Moments like these are precious!" I winked as I pulled of my jacket and told her to come inside it.

The jacket was covering us in a way that it's one sleeve was in my arm while the other was in her's as the jacked laid perfectly at our backs. We both were squeezed close to each other with our hearts racing in our bodies as we walked bare footed on the shore listening to the sound of waves splashing to the shore.

"It feels so romantic. I'm living the moments every girl dream about. I feel like I'm living a fairy tale with my prince charming!" Haniya sighed and then smiled looking up at me. I kissed her forehead as I shut my eyes and for few moments rested my lips there.

Haniya's POV :-

My heart was swelling with happiness because of his sweet gestures. Just then my cell phone started buzzing and when I took it out from my clutch Rameen's name was flashing across the screen. It was 3:00 AM.

"Hello?" I picked up as I pulled away from Shayaan. He was looking at me, confused.

The next words I heard from the other side made my heart sink deep down to my stomach.
