We had finished our breakfast and we were just talking randomly when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Yes" he opened the door.

"Hello Sir, your reservation in the beach side will be ready by seven in the evening..and yeah this is for you Sir and Mam" the manager said and handed him the parcel.

"I'm sorry but we never booked any reservation for today and this parcel is not even ours" Fawad said.

"No Sir, this is for you both only..and reservation also. I hope you and your Mrs.will like our arrangements. Thank you. Have a good day Sir, Madam." Manager wished us and left.

We both were equally confused.

"Were you expecting any parcel??" Fawad asked inspecting the parcel.

"No why would I?? And here I don't know anyone also..I have come here for the first time." I told him.

"Hmm" soon he was interrupted by a call. He put the call on speaker.

"Assalamualaikum"came a cheerful voice and I instantly recognized it. It was Aapu.

"Walekumasalam, Aapu how are you??" I asked.

"I'm fine and Seher I know what you're next question will be so the answer to that is here everyone is fine" She said.

I smiled. Well Fawad was looking at me with an amused expression.

"I guess you both have received the parcel and must have been told about the reservation isn't it??" She asked curiously.

"Yes" we said in unison.

"But wait how do you know about it?? Fawad was now confused. Even I was confused. We heard laughter from the other side.

"Because that is also decided by us" she said.

Now we both were more confused than before.

"What do you mean?" Fawad asked by massaging his temples.

"Uff..you both!! We all have decided to send you both on a date night today so that reservation is about this and that parcel contains your dresses for tonight" she was practically shouting now.

By hearing the word "date" only heat crept up to my full body. I was blushing so hard!! He looked at me with equal expression. His cheeks were pink. I was trying my best to not to laugh at him.

"Hellooo..anyone there?? Have you both already left??? Wait..the date is in the evening" Aapu was continuously shouting.

"Yes yes we're here. Aapu first of all Jazakallah for this..but we will not go" he looked at me for confirmation I nodded my head.

"Ahh..I knew you both will say this..so let me tell you all the expenditure has been done by Mom for today and it is mom's order. So if you'll both not go then you both have to face mom after coming back. And Fawad you very well know Mom's anger so think about it." She was blackmailing us.

"Are you blackmailing us??"

"Take it as you like??"

"Aapu we'll go" I quickly said. Fawad looked at me with his eyebrows raised.

"I know you will agree..give some sense to Faddy also. And yeah do wear that dress only which we have send because Mom wants pictures of you both today by nine at night. And yeah if you guys try to ditch the plan or fool us don't worry we will come to know about it. Because mom is personally taking care of todays evening." Aapu told.

"Don't worry Aapu we will go." I assured her. After greetings we hang up the call.

"Care to explain??" Fawad asked

I groaned.

"I agreed only because all these things are been done by Mom and I just couldn't say No to it. I know how you must be feeling but I don't know how I explain you why I said yes. Only for Mom" I told him. He was staring at me. He nodded his head and went out.

After getting freshen up I walked out of the washroom only to come to know that I have only one hour to get ready. Meanwhile Fawad called and told me that he is out meeting some of his business people. I was relieved, now I can get ready easily.

I didn't did any fancy hairstyle because it would simply go inside my hijab. So I just made a bun and pinned all my hair securely. I quickly put some moisturizer and foundation. Put some blush. I quickly put eyeliner and kohl, curled my eyelashes and applied mascara. I wasn't a fan of eye shadow so I just dropped it. I put some nude color lipstick and coated it with a nude matte lip gloss.

I wore my dress. Masha Allah it was pretty. I must say Mom have a very good taste!! It was palest shade of lavender mermaid gown with cream color embroidery all over the gown. It also have a waist band. I secured the hijab safely so that not even a single hair can be seen. I wore my six inch nude pumps and put some attar. Yes I was good to go.

I quickly grabbed my clutch and stuffed my cell inside it. I turned only to met his icy eyes. He was staring at me. Suddenly I felt exposed by his stare. I was sure that by this time I was blushing. My blush stained cheeks were now on full display.

Well if he could stare at me then why can't I?? I looked at him..he was also wearing a lavender tux. His top three buttons of his white shirt was undone. His hair was neatly styled. When I looked at his eyes he smirked "you realized very soon to check me out". I gasped. He caught me open handed.

" Come Come you have all the evening to stare at me" he said by giving me his hand.

I smiled and caught his hand.

As we reached the destination. I was spell bound. It was so beautiful Masha Allah. Right near the shore our table was set up. Whole place was lit up by Chinese lanterns. In the side the musicians were playing soft music. Whole environment was so peaceful. Only the voices of the wind and the water crashing down softly on the shores could be heard.

We walked towards our table hand in hand. I actually enjoyed his touch. He pulled the chair out for me and after I sat down he adjusted the chair and sat down opposite of me.

In the middle of the table was a candle with a sweet smell of vanilla. Rose petals were scattered all over the table. Our table was right at the shore so we could easily feel the water if we remove our shoes. As if on cue he removed his shoes and I removed mine. Ahh..the water was so cold but it was beautiful.

"Well I didn't knew that my mom is such a good event manager?? I'm shocked" he said for the first time in the whole evening.

"Yes it is just beautiful. Masha Allah"

Soon the waiter came and gave our food. I was so damn hungry that I quickly dig myself completely in the food. After eating our dinner we were served desert.

"Seher"

"Hmm"

"You're looking very beautiful Masha Allah. Very pretty. This dress does suits you." He complimented me.

I couldn't meet his eyes. My heart was beating so fast. I'm sure my blush was visible.

"Jazakallah..you also look handsome. Masha Allah..but please from next time close all your buttons. I just don't want any non-mehram looking at you.." I couldn't complete my sentence because I was feeling so shy.

I quickly stood up from the chair and walked halfway when suddenly I was turned. He was grabbing my waist and pushed me more close towards him. I didn't know how, when we started moving according to the music. The music was slow and soft and so our steps. Whole time we both were just staring at each other.

He kissed my knuckles and I gasped.
"Mujhe haq hai" he said and my heart stopped. We both hugged.

We clicked our pictures so as to show them to Mom. I was standing near the shore feeling the cold water right under my feet. Thank you Allah for such a lovely evening. Thank you Allah for giving Fawad as my life partner. Thank you Allah for giving me such a good family. I silently prayed while looking at the sky. Moon was looking so beautiful with the shining stars that was surrounding it so beautifully. Masha Allah.

I looked at Fawad who was in other direction talking over the phone. I groaned. How can someone talk business in such a romantic atmosphere. An idea struck me. I tiptoed towards him. He ended the call. I quickly snatched the cell from his hand and started running away from him towards the shore.

First he was shocked but when he realized what I did he started running faster. I suddenly got frightened and started running more faster. He was much faster than me and quickly caught me from my waist. We both lost our balance and fell down. He was on top of me.

My breath hitched. Our clothes were wet due to the water. Sand was sticking on our clothes. I was not at all feeling comfortable.

"Fawad"

"Hmm"

"Please move"

He quickly came back to his senses and got up. He helped me in getting up. I quickly brushed my dress from my hand to remove the excess sand.

"Its late..I guess we should go"

"Yeah" I said and started walking without my pumps. I was in no mood to wear them. My feet was aching in pain. So instead of wearing I was holding it in my hand and walking casually. And what's better then walking barefoot on sand.

"Seher" Fawad called out to me.

"Yes" I don't why I smiled as I turned back.

He clicked my pic instantly. That made my grin go more wider. We went back to the hotel hand in hand like we came here.

Ehsaas- feeling happy without any reason because he made you smile unknowingly.
