After a chaotic journey, they finally reached Venice.
Sara: Did you tell them to give us a room with a pretty view?
Shubman ( flirts with her ): I did but what's more pretty than you?
Sara: You never leave a chance to flirt with me, Mr. Gill.
Shubman: Do you want me to flirt with someone else?
Sara: Go ahead if you want me to restructure your face.
Shubman: Now that's a serious dhamki.
Sara: Are you scared?
Shubman ( innocently): Papa kehte hai apni bandi se darr ke rehna hi achha hai..
Sara ( laughs ): Haha!! That's so cute!!
They get their room with a garden view.
Later on, they get dressed for the day. Taking rest was not in their to do list at all. They just wanted to make the most out of the trip.
Their hotel organized a gondola ride for them. Sara was clicking pictures and making videos is when she turned her phone to Shubman's direction to click some pictures of him and Shubman being obsessed with getting clicked started posing. Afterall, no one clicks him better than his personal photographer.
When Sara was done with clicking, she started looking at the pictures and when Shubman's picture came, her world just stopped. She didn't swipe for the next picture. She was just looking at his picture with hearty eyes.
Shubman: I seriously wouldn't mind if you just grabbed my face and kissed it.
Sara looked at him, smiled, grabbed his face and kissed him. It felt like her eyes stole his heart, her smile gave him life, her presence made him high and her touch left him breathless. Her kiss was enough to make Shubman crave for yet another one.
He kissed her. Without warning, without permission, without even deciding to do it but simply because he couldn't have done anything else. He needed that breath she was holding. It belonged to him and he wanted it back. There was hunger visible in both of their eyes. But they resisted the feeling because they were in public, taking a gondola ride.
After that ride, they had gelato followed by an Italian lunch.
Later that night, they were strolling through the enchanting streets of Venice, holding each other's hands. There wasn't proper lighting so Shubman thought of pranking Sara.
He touched the doorbell of a native citizen's house.
Shubman: Sara!! Maine inki doorbell baja di..
Sara: Oh shit!! Have you lost it? Ab woh bahar aayenge toh kya bolenge hum?
Shubman: Usse pehle bhaagoooooo!!!
Sara started running thinking that Shubman is also running behind him.
Sara: Shubman, did anyone see us?
When she got no response, she turned back to see why Shubman didn't respond and immediately stops after seeing Shubman laughing outside that house. He was still standing there and was laughing seeing Sara run.
Sara got angry this time. He was constantly making fun of her on this trip. Sara didn't go back to him instead she continued walking towards the hotel.
When Shubman saw her going to the hotel alone, Shubman runs after her.
Shubman (laughs ): Saraaa!! Waittt!! Wait for me!!
Sara: See.. this is the problem.. you're still laughing..
Shubman: Arey! I was just trying to prank you.
Sara: I don't want to talk to you.
Shubman: The pathway to our hotel kind of looks haunted tho.
Sara: I'm not darpok like you.
Shubman: Achha.. Thik hai phir jao akele..
Sara was walking alone is when she saw some movement of the bushes. Shubman was walking a little behind her. Sara stops and started seeing here and there. She even turned back to see if Shubman is there. Seeing him, she was relieved. That's when cat jumps out of the bushes and Sara screamed.
