Karan waited for a couple of minutes outside her room , deciding whether he should ring the bell or not. It was around 6:30 in the morning and they had to get out of the hotel by 7:30 for their shoot.

He let out a deep breath and rang the bell.

She opened the door and peeped out from behind the half opened door.

"Oh....kundrri....come...." She opened the door and he realised why she was peeping out. She was wearing her shorts and crop top without her shrug.

He went in and she wore her shrug.

"Did you eat anything?" He asked looking at her.

"Biscuits...." She said cutely.

"Tea?" He frowned.

She started to blow dry her hair.

"I don't know how to make tea...." She said loudly over the sound of the blow drier.

He sighed and poured water in the electric kettle and the milk and sugar powder in the cup and then poured the water into it. He dipped the tea bag into the cup and kept the cup in front of her.

"I can't believe you cannot even make tea from the tea bag...." He rolled his eyes.

"Thanks kundrri...." She said cutely and had a sip after drying her hair. "Itna chini?" She frowned immediately.

"Mumma said you should have more sugar than usual because your glucose dropped...." He said casually.

"Mumma?" She frowned.

"My mom...." He rolled his eyes.

"You told her about me?" She frowned more.

Karan looked here and there and then scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"See you downstairs for breakfast...." He muttered and she got up.

"Okay...." She shrugged as they walked till the door.

"Listen...." He turned back to look at her.

"Hmm?" She hummed looking at him.

"Why did you say that i will surely get someone who will make all my insecurities go away?" He asked looking at her.

"Because you will get someone...." Before she could complete he pinned her to the wall softly.

"Do not talk about anyone else when you won't be okay with it...." He said looking at her softly.

"Why won't i be okay with...." Before she could complete he cut her off again.

"Shhhh....i know how okay you will be....so cut the crap...." He said looking into her eyes. He was holding her upper arm ever so softly and was maintaining a respectable distance from her body.

"I will be...." She said with a soft blush.

"Chal jhooti...." He smirked and moved back. "See you downstairs...." And with that he walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

They had breakfast and left for shoot.

They visited all the tourist spots and then went to Pont De Pierre.

It was a beautiful bridge across the river Garonne.

"You know how many arches are there in this bridge?" He asked her as they walked side by side.

She immediately started to count the arches and he chuckled.

"17...." He said softly.

"Okay teacher ji...." She rolled her eyes and they gave their shot.

Their last spot was port de la lune.

"You know this port?the river Garonne takes the shape of a cresent moon here....it is the port of the moon...." He said softly and looked at the beautiful architectures by the river bank.

She looked at him softly.

"What?what are you looking at?" He asked without looking at her.

"Huh?" She looked away immediately and he chuckled softly.

Their shoot was over as it was the last spot to cover.

"Woh....i was...." He went to her and started to speak but stopped midway.

"What happened?you were?" She frowned.

"No actually....you go back....you are not well...." He said with a small smile.

"You go back?aren't you coming back?" She asked immediately.

"Umm no....i will just go for a drink....yaha ka wine famous hai so just...." He said nervously. "I was about to ask you but then realised that you are not well...."

"I am fine come on....i want to go...." She whined like a kid and jumped holding his hand.

"You need to rest....you are fatigued....so go back...." He said strictly and turned back to call someone to take her to the bus.

"Fine....i will go for a walk alone....i will reach the hotel and get out of their and nobody will know....then if i faint in the streets i don't know....imagine new country nobody knows me....so?" She said dramatically.

He rolled his eyes.

"Fine....come...." He muttered and messaged in their group and went to a nearby restaurant.

"You are a drama queen...." He said as they sat and ordered for their food and drinks.

"You cannot lead me on for an outing and then say you cannot take me because i am not well....that is the meanest thing you can do...." She rolled her eyes.

"Whatever...." He muttered and sipped his wine.

"You know so much about the history of all the places....i mean it is insane...." She said softly.

"Yeah i like to watch documentaries about all this....new places , their culture and people....little things....all these intrigues me...." He said casually.

She nodded softly and they had their food and wine while chatting.

She took her clutch from her sling bag and he rolled his eyes.

"What?the last time you gave a treat in Paris....my turn...." She frowned and paid and the walked out of the restaurant.

"Let's walk along the river bank?" He asked looking at her. "Will you be able to walk?"

"Yeah kundrri don't worry...." She rolled her eyes as they along the bank of the river hand in hand.

"Tomorrow will be so hectic no?early morning flight and then shoot throughout the day...." She swang her hand which was holding his hand.

She got no response and he stopped in his track. She walked a step and felt him stop as her hand was pulled and she looked back at him with a frown. He was looking at a distance and she could feel his face hardening.

She turned back to follow his gaze to where he was looking. And there she was. His ex. Looking back at him.

She immediately left his hand and looked back at him. He was still looking at her in the distance.

"I'll....i'll see you at the hotel...." She said looking at him but he didn't respond. He stood there frozen.

She patted his back a little and walked away in the opposite direction.
