Yet Another Strange Marriage ✅

Chapter 32

They arrive at their hotel, freshen up and sip chai before going to bed as it was around 3 a.m.

Sidharth wakes up at 11:00 a.m. and looks beside the other side of the bed smilingly. However, Shehnaaz was not there. He checks the bathroom if she was there but she wasn't there as well. He calls up the reception desk and they say that they don't have any idea.

He quickly changes his grey shorts into a jeans and grabs his wallet and phone to go out and search for her. When he opens the door he finds Shehnaaz smiling at him.

Shehnaaz: Good Morning Sweetheart!

He hugs her immediately as if he had found his lost piece of jewel.

Sidharth: Where were you Shehnaaz? This is a new city for us. When I didn't find you I panicked.

Shehnaaz: l was getting bored and you were sleeping like a cute little baby. So I went on to take a stroll to the nearby shopping centre and bought some snacks to munch. By the way, why did you panic? I am not a little child to get lost. Come, I'll show you what all I shopped.

Sidharth: Okay dear!

They have their breakfast together and plan on their day and the places they would visit. They get ready and head to Buddha temple first where they pray peacefully. Since their day was short due to them starting late, they then go on a Chao Phraya River Boat trip.

Sidharth: You know Shehnaaz, they call this place 'The Venice of the East'. Isn't it so romantic? Whenever I heard or saw that song 'Do lafzon ki hai dil ki kahaani' from the movie The great gambler, I dreamt of going on such a beautiful boat ride with my partner.

Shehnaaz: Is this pre marriage desire or post marriage?

Sidharth: Before! (Grins)

Shehnaaz: (Raises her eyebrows) Oohh.. Any specific partner you wanted to go with.

Sidharth: Yeah.. I had a very very veeeerrrry sexy girlfriend in my college. She had a blue butterfly tattoo below her navel which was my weakness. When she walked, her hips swayed like a ripples on water and every boy ogled at her. (He looked to the other side as if he was lost in her thoughts) Those were the magical days. She used to kiss me infront of those boys showing that she only belonged to me and as a warning to girls to stay away from me.

Shehnaaz: (Stared at him) Is it? I thought you studied in all boy's college.

Sidharth: What? No.. I stayed in boys hostel but it was a normal college.

Shehnaaz: (Annoyed) Then what happened to your very very veeeerrrry sexy girlfriend?

Sidharth: I don't know! She just went missing in between the semester unannounced. It really broke my heart. (Sighed) I just hope to meet her some day.

Shehnaaz: (shocked) Huh?

Sidharth: (fumbles) Aaa.. aa.. I mean.. I want to ask her why did she disappear all of the sudden and why didn't she intimidated me about it.

Shehnaaz: (To the boat operator) Bhaiyya.. I mean Mister, enough! I need to get to the nearest shore please.

Sidharth: (Surprised) Huh? Why sweetheart? What happened?

Shehnaaz: I am just talking about myself. You may continue the boat ride with the memory of your very very veeeerrrry sexy girlfriend.

Sidharth: ..But you were the the one running an investigation by probing non-stop questions about her.

Shehnaaz: I did but I didn't know that you would still desire to meet her.

The boat operator starts navigating closer to the shore.
