Teja rang the bell of his room and tapped her foot impatiently. He opened the door in a few seconds.

"Ready?" He asked immediately.

"Yeah...." She said as she walked in.

Karan quickly took his wallet and phone and the key card and they went out of the room.

"What have you told the other?they are chilling in Nishant's room...." She asked him as they went down by the lift.

"Nothing....the boys know...." He said casually and went out.

They both were in comfortable clothes as Karan had suggested. Her in a hoodie and jeans with sneakers while he wore a white T-shirt and a shirt over it and loose jeans.

They took a cab and went to the La Grande Roue De Paris. It was the giant wheel or the Paris eye from where the entire city would be visible.

"Are you serious?" She clapped and jumped as they got down from the cab.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Dheere...." He held her elbow as if she was a kid who was running here and there and went ahead.

They sat in one of the cubicles and soom it started giving the rotations. As their cubicle went up they could see the entire city with the lights in the darkness of the lights.

"This is so freaking beautiful...." She gasped and held his thigh.

The view was breathtaking.

"Teju...." He said softly.

"Hmm?" She hummed still taking in the view.

"Look there...." He pointed at the other side and she followed her gaze to where his finger was pointing.

There stood the illuminated Eiffel tower against dark sky.

She blinked in a few times and took in a sharp breath.

"It is so freaking beautiful...." She whispered.

"Hai nuh?" He said softly looking at the Eiffel tower.

They entwined their fingers and she leaned over to him in a reflex.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to himself as they kept looking at the beautiful view in front of them.

As the wheel started to go down he looked at her.

She smiled widely and hugged him tightly. He took a few seconds to take in the sudden hug and then wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.

"This was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen...." She whispered softly.

"Same...." He whispered back.

They slowly pulled apart and she hid her blush by letting her hair fall along her cheeks. He smiled sheepishly and looked out of the cubicle.

After their ride they got down and started to walk.

"Are you okay walking or should we take a cab?" He asked looking at her.

"I am cool....there is nothing like exploring a new city on foot...." She chuckled and wrapped her arms around his elbow as they walked along the pavement. "Next stop?" She asked like a kid.

"Dinner...." He chuckled.

"Awieee...." She jumped and he immediately held her waist so that she doesn't fall.

They walked on the pavement and a group of young guys were coming from the other side from Teja's side who were looking fairly drunk. Karan immediately pulled Teja to the other side of him and walked passed them.

Teja smiled softly looking at him but he was looking ahead as they walked.

How he cared even for the smallest thing. How he protected her.

Soon they reached the Seine River and Teja looked at him in confusion.

"I really wanted this....and mujhe akele nahi aana tha....kaisa fuddu lagta mai...." He said like a kid as they went towards a small cruise.

"Huh?" She frowned at him.

He held her hand and they went in the cruise. It was a dining cruise in the Seine river. He took her to their booked table and made her sit. The cruise with filler with couple and groups of friends or families and they were the last to get in.

"What?you planned this?" She asked in shock as he took his seat opposite to her.

The cruise had glass coverings all around and they could see both the banks of the river as it started to move through the river. The streets of Paris and brilliant architectures along the streets on the bank.

"Yeah as i said....i wanted to do this but i swear kitna fuddu lagta agar akele aata toh...." He chuckled looking at her.

"Toh you took me along just so that tu fuddu na dikhe aur stud dikhe?" She huffed angrily. "I feel used...."

He laughed heartily as the waiter came and gave her a rose.

"Thank you...." She said with a huge smile and smelled the rose.

Karan smiled softly looking at her as the waiter poured their champagne for them and took their order and went away.

"Cheers...." He said softly and clicked his glass with her's.

The cruise passed by the Eiffel tower.

"I wish i could stay here forever...." She said softly. She didn't know why she said that. Was it because of the fact that the Continent they were travelling through made her fall in love , or was it the companion she was travelling with made her fall in love.

"Same...." He smiled softly and looked out.

They had their three course dinner and chose different dishes for themselves and shared each dish with each other. After the dinner he poured some wine for both of them and gave her a glass.

"Thanks...." She said softly.

He looked at her and smiled warmly.

"I have something for you...." She said looking at him.

"What?" He frowned a little as he sipped his wine.

She opene the chain of her sling bag and he looked out again.

It had started to drizzle lightly. The drops of rain falling against the glass of the cruise and the lights of the city looked like stars through the rain drops on the glass.

"Ban liya apna paigambar....tar liya tu saath samundar....fir bhi sukha man ke andar kyun reh gaya...." He hummed softly looking at the rain.

"Karan...." She said softly placing something on the table in front of him.

It was the lock that she had bought from Pont des Arts or the love lock bridge.

He looked at the lock kept on the table in front of him. On the golden shiny metal with blue ink , it was written Karan and Tejasswi.
