Shehnaaz and Jasmine were all dressed up and left the hostel to meet Asim at the decided place. When the girls reached the circle, they found Asim already waiting for them in his car.
Shehnaaz and Jasmine sat down in the car and inquired about the venue for the party. Asim had kept it a surprise and didn't disclose it to them.
"Just wait and watch, girls, it's a surprise for you both." He announced
Jasmine and Shehnaaz glanced at each other and smiled.
Soon, he started the engine and steered the car towards the destination. Asim had turned the volume of the stereo to the highest setting, and the three friends were having a gala time on their way. They were singing along to the songs that were playing on the music system. The party that was supposed to begin at the venue had started in the car itself.
Shehnaaz couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun. Her family's financial crisis, the surrogacy contract, or any other stress about her future seemed to have been erased from her mind for a while. She was wholeheartedly enjoying jasmine and Asim's company and was having a great time with her friends.
After a few more songs and a lot more fun, Asim stopped the car. Shehnaaz was enjoying it so much that she didn't even realise that they had reached the place. The car had stopped in the parking lot, and Asim stepped out. Shehnaaz and Jasmine got out of the car too. They were thrilled to see the beautiful place where they were. It was a beautiful and luxurious restaurant. The place offered a variety of multi-cuisine options. Italian, Chinese, Thai, Continental, French, Japanese, Mexican, American, Korean, Turkish, and many other cuisines were a part of the menu. The place was spread across a big area and had both roof-top and indoor seating arrangements. Shehnaaz and jasmine were excited to come over to such a happening place. They had never been to this restaurant before.
A few seconds later, jasmine slightly elbowed Shehnaaz to divert her attention towards the enormous board where the name of the restaurant was written. Shehnaaz was surprised by the sudden action from jasmine and diverted her gaze towards the direction she was pointing at. Her eyes widened in surprise when she read the board: 'GRILL CART'.
The restaurant was owned by none other than Sidharth Shukla . As soon as Shehnaaz realised the same, she looked around in all the directions. She wondered if Sidharth would appear out of nowhere and inquire about her presence in the restaurant. "What have you been doing here, Miss Shehnaaz ?" He would say But then,
in the very next moment, she thought, "Why do I need to be afraid of him? I am definitely not his slave who is answerable to him for every action that I take. I can spend time with or party with whoever I want, whenever! want. And anyway, why would Sidharth care about that? His baby is safe within my womb. And I don't understand why in the world did Jack select Sidharth's food outlet ''GRILL CART" for the party tonight.
Thereafter, she turned towards jasmine and leaned down to whisper, "Why did Asim choose Sidharth's restaurant for the party? If he found us partying here at his restaurant, he would definitely start ranting at me. And I don't doubt that if he has already formulated a clause in the surrogacy contract that Shehnaaz won't be allowed to party."
Hearing jasmine's words, she burst into laughter when she heard her concerns.
"Don't worry about that, Shehnaaz. Don't spoil your mood. However, Sidharth doesn't need to be present here at this restaurant. There are three outlets for "Grill Cart" in our city. He could be at any one of them. You need not worry and just chill,"Jasmine replied.
They were so engrossed in their conversation that they had almost forgot ten that they were accompanied by someone else. Asim had parked the car and was walking towards the restaurant. He stopped in the middle, realising that the girls who were supposed to be walking beside him were not there. He turned around and found that Shehnaaz and Jasmine were still standing near the car and were having a conversation with each other. Asim went to them and smiled, "Do you guys want to come inside, or would you spend the
rest of the time gossiping here in the parking lot?"
