The next morning, Raq decided to go to Mumbai a day prior to his earlier plan to surprise Shamz.
He quickly got ready and packed his bags as he was going to Alibag with Shamz and her family for Valentines and Samisha's birthday later.
After chilling alone for 4 odd hours and not taking Shamz calls or replying to any of her texts, he finally reached the bay. He directly went to her place but she wasn't home, so he called up Nidhi (her manager) and found that she was shooting for a clothing brand at a hotel. He reached the hotel and went in, at the reception, he enquired about the shoot but nobody knew. He called up Nidhi again who came down and took him up.
In the lift,
Raq: I hope you haven't told her about me coming?
Nidhi: I haven't, don't worry.
Raq: When does she finish the shoot?
Nidhi: Maybe in an hour, provided no delays happen. But she has an event to attend after pack up.
Raq: Okay, let's see how this goes.
On the way, he saw the set up while he went to the room where Shamz was getting ready. Nidhi knocked the door,
Nidhi: May I come in?
Shamz: Just you, yes.
Raq got the hint that she might be changing, so he impatiently waited while Nidhi agreed to call him in once she was ready.
Shamz was already worried for she hadn't spoken to Raq all day. Once she wore her next outfit, Nidhi came out and asked Raq to go in.
Raq quickly entered and shut the door, the make up artist was doing her touch up. He went to towards her to catch her attention, shamz finally realised he was there, just behind her.
Shamz: Where have you been all day?
Raq: I know, I know, you were worried.
He hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead, Shamz was a little emotional, she controlled herself and hugged him tight.
Before saying anything, she called Nidhi inside and told her that she would need a small break, the make up artist and Nidhi left, leaving both of them to each other.
Shamz: What is all this? I was so worried, I was going to call your sister.
Raq understood her emotion and he was sensitive towards it. He quickly held his ears, trying to apologise.
Shamz: Stop acting cute, I am so upset with this stunt of yours. My heart was in my mouth and I have been thinking since morning, what must have happened. I tried to be so positive but I kept overthinking.
Listen to me, you know how protective I am about you, please don't do such things.
Raq kissed her and explained that he thought she would be super happy, which she was but her protective nature took over.
Raq: Acha listen, how long will you take to finish this shoot?
Shamz: Just 2 more looks, maybe half an hour.
Raq: I am chilling here then, I haven't eaten anything since morning, let me order something. Do you want something?
Shamz: No baby, I will just have a little from what you order.
Raq quickly called up the reception who took his order and he began to chill while Shamz went to finish her look.
The food came in, Raq began eating, Shamz came in to change, she saw food all over his mouth, she quickly took a tissue and cleaned it for him.
Raq: Baby, rukh jao! Abhi aur legega! You can do it once I finish eating.
Shamz: Hmmm, she quickly went to change and came out in another outfit.
Raq got up from the bed, went to her and fed her Thai curry and rice. It was among her favourite and she didn't even say no.
Shamz: Bas baby, let me go finish this outfit and come.
She quickly shot for that outfit and came back to change for her last look. While she got ready, Raq kept feeding her, he was so scared for being messy that he put a napkin on her outfit so that he doesn't mess it. She was in awe to see him be so careful and neat.
He fed her a sushi but she couldn't eat the whole thing at once, she bit a part of it and gave it back to him.
Once she finished eating, she put on her lipstick and went to finish her shoot! She was taking long while Raq was getting impatient to take her around.
Once she was back to the room,
Raq: Pack up?
Shamz: Yeah, but I have an event to attend in 2 hours.
Raq: So that means we have 2 hours, can you quickly change?
Shamz: Where are we going?
Raq: Just for a drive!
Shamz: Let me get ready for the event, I will keep my hair and make up as it is.
She quickly changed into her event outfit and took her handbag and phone.
She instructed Nidhi to make sure all her personal belongings used in the shoot has to be put back in her car while she left with Raq.
Raq called up his driver and asked him to get the car at the entrance.
Then he took over the driving seat and asked the driver to contact Shamz driver and be with him while they both drove away.
Shamz was super happy to see him so happy, she felt content.
Shamz: Baby, will you come with me for the event?
Raq: I will need an outfit and make up for that!
Shamz: No, we just have to go, check their jewellery and promote the opening of their store.
Raq: If you say so, we can.
Shamz quickly kissed him as he agreed to go with her and they held hands while he kept driving in the city.
Raq: Btw, I liked all your looks today, all the ones I saw.
Shamz: Ahaan, toh ab main Indian pehnu?
Raq: You can pull of anything, darling. You are too good at this.
Shamz: Thank you.
Raq: Do you want to eat something?
Shamz: Naah, I am too full.
Raq: Can we go on a dinner date tonight?
Shamz: We can, but can we decide this once we finish the event?
Raq: Yeah, we can.
After going around the city for a drive, Raq called up his driver and found out that they were near the jewellery store where the event was to happen. Raq drove till there and then Shamz and him moved to the backseat while the driver took over.
They then reached Orra, there was media waiting to click them. Once Shamz got down, everyone began to create chaos and Raq being Raq was super protective about her. He stopped all the paps and held Shamz's hand and took her to the entrance of the store, they posed for the paps and gave a small interview.
Once the media finished their job, they quickly went into the store, Shamz was gifted some delicate jewellery and she looked through some of their pieces and loved their work. Once the promotion was done, they left the store, the media was still waiting outside.
The media asked them funny and personal questions, a few were answered while others were laughed at. Raq held Shamz and guarded her till she got into the car. He got inside from the other side, Nidhi her manager, gave her bag and phone and they drove away.
Raq: What's the plan?
Shamz: You tell me!
Raq: Shall we go out?
Shamz: You want to?
Raq: Yeah, if you aren't tired.
Shamz: I am a little bit chalo let's go. But can we go back home soon?
Raq: Yes, as soon as we finish dinner. Are you ready for another date, baby?
Shamz: Yeah, let's do this.
Raq: Where do you want to go?
Shamz: You tell me! We can always go to Bastian!
Raq: Okay, let's go there then!
Raq instructed the driver to take them to Bastian, luckily no media was there. They quickly got in hand in hand, got themselves a corner table, away from the others, gave their order and waited.
Raq: Tired na?
Shamz: A little, but it's okay!
Raq: Come here, put your head here and hold my hand.
Shamz did exactly as she was instructed and she was at piece, in his arms holding his hand.
Shamz: I was so worried the whole day, you and your pranks.
Raq: Be prepared for more, I will be careful
from now onwards.
While they kept talking, their food came, Shamz was exhausted and didn't want to move, Raq kept feeding her and eating himself. Once their dinner was done, Raq cleared the bill and they left for home.
Back at home, Shamz finally got into her night gown, tied her hair up and removed her make up while Raq changed into his night suit, they slept as they had to wake up and leave for Alibag the next morning.
