It's Just You And Me

Chapter 61

The first room in the indoor garden was the Butterfly Museum which features hand-crafted pieces of art and paintings made by thousands of pressed butterflies from around the world. A notable piece was a mural of the Crown Prince of Dubai. Sidharth was looking around but Shehnaaz was impatiently waiting to go to another dome hoping there will be butterflies. "Sidharth jaldi chal next wale mei" she pulled him. "Ruk ja pehle yeh sab dekh toh baby bohot time hai apne pas" he made her understand and pulled her back with him.

Located in Dome 2, there was 'Koi pond' which is hard to miss. Filled with a multitude of Koi fish in various sizes, the pond is a great place to snap pictures where they did click a few. The sound of running water was giving a soothing effect amidst the cacophony of bird sounds in the indoor space. Shehnaaz was becoming impatient by each passing minute, all she wanted to see was butterflies.

Finally!!!
The next dome.
Beaded curtains mark the entrance to the domes, which are kept at a comfortable 24°C and were abundant with flowers and plants. Every path was lined with vibrant foliage while trailing ivy hanging from the ceiling completes the natural look. The domes were kept bright and airy with plenty of natural light streaming in from the windows above while a mini waterfall  added to the natural look. "Sidhaaarrrthhhh!!" she squeaked clinging on to his arms. His lips pulled up into a grin when he saw her all excited and hyped up.

Shehnaaz was dumbstruck with the view in front of her eyes. Sidharth was just enjoying every moment with her without worrying about anything right now.

They both go further in and get ready to be greeted by a frenzy of fluttering butterflies — chasing each other around the dome, flying high above the ceiling or perched on feeding stations like hanging trays of nectar or fruit scattered throughout the space.

It all seemed like a dream to her, just so unreal to be true. She was smiling and admiring the place like a baby with her shining eyes. Beautiful and colourful butterflies flying around, she noticed a blue one sitting on the flow and slowly went to touch it. The butterfly few away with the slight touch of her which made her sad. He understood she wanted them to come to her.

"Shehnaaz aaja waha baithe hai" he took her towards this netted gazebos located in each dome and letting the butterflies come to them.

It’s a great way to observe rare and beautiful species of butterfly and also prevents visitors from accidentally hurting or stepping on them.

"Sidharth tu camera ready rakhna kahi koi butterfly aa kar mere par baithe toh meri achi achi photos click karna please" she said excitedly trying her best not to scream and make joke of herself.

That's when one of them landed on her shoulder making her stiff at her position.

"Sidharth" she called him out almost like a whisper and indicated him towards the butterfly through her eyes.

"Oh haan ruk aise he " he clicked a picture but frowned.

"Abey smile toh kar..... Aise muh banaya hai jaise kisi ne gale mei chaku rakha ho aur zabardasti photo click karwa raha ho" he scoffed.

She gave a beautiful smile and a little poses with that butterfly when another came sitting on her head and then another one on her nose. "Hayeee Sidharth yeh dekh" she mumbled trying her best to not even more her lips.

He clicked a few pictures of her.

We say beautiful souls attract beautiful things, that's exactly what was happening. Whichever dome they would go the butterfly would come and either sit on her hand or her dress or wherever possible.

This one time butterfly sat on both of their hands and he clicked a selfie carefully. Likewise whenever a butterfly would come sit on Sidharth she would click his pictures.
