Rhea is excited and nervous as she climbed up the stairs leading to the terrace. A while ago, Shad had texted her to come on the terrace. The sun is about to set, and for now they are free for some time. Shad wanted to make most of it and so he called her. Rhea too didn't want to waste any chance of spending time with Shad and so readily agreed.

Her heart beat increased as she stepped into the terrace. She looked around and found Shad standing near the railing. She smiled and quickly adjusted her hair and dress and walked towards him. She tried to be casual but her nervousness was evident. This is the time she will be spending quality time with a man.

'Hey!' she greeted him. Shad turned his head and smiled at her

'Hey!' he replied. He then turned his head towards the setting sun. Rhea looked front too. The sight was breathtaking. So, serene, so beautiful. She smiled and shifted closer to Shad. He placed his hand on her shoulder

'Beautiful, isn't it?' Rhea exclaimed

'Gorgeous actually' Shad complimented

Rhea turned her head and found Shad looking at her. Understanding his previous statement, she blushed.

Shad turned and held her hand, she lowered her gaze blushing. Both blissfully unaware that someone was watching them.

'I love you' Shad said. Rhea slowly looked up into his eyes and smiled

'I love you too' she replied. She then looked away, blushing. He smiled and leaned forward and kissed her forehead. Rhea inhaled sharply, she felt butterflies in her stomach. Shad gently held her face in between his palm and leaned forward.

His lips hovered over hers and she squeezed her eyes tight. She is feeling terribly nervous. Before Shad could kiss her, she turned her head. Shad's eyes snapped open, he took a step back feeling guilty. He shouldn't have gotten carried away.

'I am so-so-sorry...I have never kissed a guy before' Rhea confessed slightly embarrassed. Shad shook his head and placed his hand on her shoulder.

'No, I am sorry. I think we should take things slow' he said.

Rhea is overwhelmed with happiness, she is so lucky to have a guy who is so understanding and also cares and respects her. She nodded her head. She took a step and wrapped her arms around his waist resting her head on his chest, she closed her eyes, a blissful smile on her face. Shad kissed the top of her head and hugged her, a smile on his lips too.

Eifad glared at  Shad and Rhea's photo. Anger boiling inside her seeing Shad in someone else's arms. She gripped the phone tightly, she is controlling her anger badly.

'Eifu! How are you feeling?' Shad entered the room happily. After spending some time with Rhea  he felt like he is on top of the world, he is happier and much relaxed. Eifad quickly switched off her phone and calmly placed her phone beside her. Shad sat next to her. He placed his palm on her forehead

'Did you have your medicines?' Shad said checking her pulse.

'How is Rhea?' Eifad said softly and Shad froze. Slowly, he looked up at her. Eifad had a stern expression on her face.

'Rhe-Rhea...she is fine' Shad said nervously. Eifad remained expressionless. Shad fumbled with the medicines, he felt uncomfortable with her gaze on him.

He gulped and lied he got a phone call and walked out. Eifad's eyes following him.

Shad quickly rushed to the guest room and locked himself. He has planned to tell Eifad everything about him and Rhea but not now, and definitely not like this. He shouldn't have messed up like he did, Eifad is now suspicious of him. He smacked his forehead.

He picked up his night clothes and went into the bathroom.

After Amaad's fiasco last night he was shifted to a hospital, but not Eifad's hospital. Dheem Kaka had packed his bags, after being discharged he will be leaving and now Shad is staying alone in the guest room.
