Thankss❤️

Thank youuu😃

Yup, the story is going to go through a major turn😃

Shuru hone wala hai Silsila, badalte rishton ka...

Pyaar ki ye kahanii suno...

Ek uncle tha, ek chuhiya thi

Hoti kya hai jawanii suno

Ek hottie tha, ek cutie thi

Che che- che che karte the dono

Fir bhi parvah krte the dono😉

I like this music lyrics thing a bit 2 much

Yup, Guddan did leave alone leaving AJ stranded at the airport😆

AJ uncle bhi pahunchenge...just wait nd watch

AJ massaged his head exasperated. What was the destiny plotting? There were no seats in flight from Jaisalmer to Indore for the next two days, due to holiday season and as of right now, all hotels he had searched were house full. And thus, he was going to the hotel, his mother has booked for them.

On the other side, Guddan was totally enjoying the royal feels of her room. She has long forgotten AJ uncle and was absolutely immersed in her Rani Padmavati fantasies. The room was a mix of Mughal and Rajput architecture, decorated with artefacts from 18^th century. The ambience due to lantern lighting was altogether exotic and the manner in which Guards were standing at the entrance with spears crossed, totally gave a fairy tale feel.

"Where the hell are you taking me?! AJ enquired troubled, seeing that the Jeep was going deeper and deeper into the desert, where there were no signs of civilization and the vegetation was becoming even sparse.

"Banna sa, aapka hotel, Desert Luxury, Thar ke beechon beech hai...thane bero koni ke?! The jeep driver asked in his local dialect, making AJ's eyes furrow in confusion.

"Bero...what?! AJ repeated, not getting the point.

"Pardon the inconvenience sir but it's hard to let go of your mother tongue...what I meant was that your hotel Desert Luxury is situated in the midst of Thar desert, don't you know that?! The driver repeated.

"Ohh! AJ exclaimed and sat quite. He was not going to say that his wife has left him stranded on the airport and had run off leaving him clueless.

As soon as AJ got down the Jeep, his eyes almost popped out. Has he travelled back in time? Because the guards standing at entrance with their spears and heavy moustaches, seemed to have appeared right out of history books.

"Khamagani sa! The guards spoke in unison, folding their hands in front of him as a mark of respect for the guest.

AJ nodded, not getting what they meant and entered inside. The hotel was of a palatial setting with big chandeliers hanging over his head whilst tiger skin and swords and armours graced the white marble walls. He was certainly impressed with the grace of the palace and approached the reception.

The duo at the reception were unlike the ones he had ever seen. Both were decked up in traditional nomadic attire. The woman was decorated head to toe from jewellery including maangtika, necklace and bangles that went beyond her elbow. The man had turban over his head while big piercing graced his ears.

"Khamagani sa! Welcome to Desert Luxury, How can we help you? The woman greeted Akshat folding her hands to which he only nodded.

"I have a room booked here in the name of Akshat Jindal...

"Sure sir, let me check, the woman replied and checked her computer.

"Yes sir, Suite 003 is booked in your name and your wife is already here...Thakkar singh, please help sir to his suite..

And at her call, a middle aged man with magnanimous moustache appeared, though Akshat had no luggage to be taken care off.

As they walked through the cool sand, Akshat looked around. It was 9 pm and the dark spell of night was being beautifully dissipated by mashaals. The air felt cool and refreshing with slight smell of the sand.

As AJ reached the suite, his eyes widened in disbelief. What the hell? It was a freaking tent where men with big burly moustaches were standing guard. The suite was absolutely isolated from the palace, save for two other tents he could make out in the distance.

"Is this the suite? He asked incredulously and continued, "Is it even safe?! I don't see any doors and without doors, there can be no bolts!

"No need to worry sir, the tent setting is a cover up, we do have solid walls and doors in there A man showed up and replied.

"And who might you be?! AJ asked.

"Myself, Vikram Singh and I'll be your attendant during your stay, the man spoke and bowed down in greeting.

Akshat only nodded in absolute confusion and once he stepped beyond the entrance of tents, he was met by the door which opened by the swipe of his card.

Entering inside, he looked around in absolute amazement. Wasn't his mother a master planner? What was with this 18^th century royal setting!! As he looked around, he picked up a container off the table which he supposed was a silver goblet for wine. Very fancy!! Continuing with his exploration, he arrived at a painting where Maharana Pratap was shown on his horse, Chetak fighting with invaders. As he reached the bed, he almost fell on his back when he saw two women standing by the bedpost with big ass fans in their hands.

"Welcome your majesty! They greeted, and AJ looked behind himself to check who were they calling the majesty'. Surprisingly, it was him. As he distanced himself from them, he stepped in front of hearth where fire was lit. The rug under his feet looked like Cheetah skin and the silver sword hanging on the wall made him feel like he was preparing for a battle.

Talking of battle, Where was Guddan?!

Guddan was soaking in the bath filled with rose petals, turmeric and milk while two female attendants, poured water over her in a serene flow. The bathroom was lit with lanterns and was scented with fragrance from agarbattis. As Guddan stepped out of the bath, a towel was wrapped around her body and she smiled in absolute delight. Dadi ne toh kamaal hi kar diyaa!! Maharani kya, patrani wali feel aa rhi hai!!

As the clueless AJ stepped inside, in search of his wife, his shoes slipped on the wet smooth floor and he fell forward right into Guddan, who fell back right into the bath, accompanied by AJ. And the extra concerned attendants disappeared stealthily, not without pulling the curtains.

"Aap!? Yaha?!Guddan shouted as both resurfaced from under the water, in each other's arms.

"Main yaha ka kya matlab hai? Tumhare saath hi aaya tha! Bhool gayi!! He shouted, spitting the rosy warm water out from his mouth.

"Main kuch nhi bhooli hu! Kisi aur hotel nhi ja sakte the kyaa!!? Mauke par chauka marne aa gaye, Dadi ne honeymoon kya kaha, aap toh... Guddan started with her blaming but he shut her up by covering her mouth with his hands.

"Chup! Ek dum chup! Thakti nhi kya bolte bolte! Mujhe bhi koi shauk nhi tha yaha aane ka par baaki hotels mein...ek minute, meri marzi, booking tumhari hi nhi, meri bhi hai yahan or main kyu jaau kahin aur, itni hi problem hai toh you are most welcome to leave, He announced glaring.

"Ah ha ha aha, ye badhiya hai, ek toh bin bulaye trip par aa gaye aur mujhe hi bhagane ki koshish kar rahe ho! Main toh nhi jaaungi! Guddan retorted, nodding her head in determination.

"Mere saare kapde geele ho gaye! AJ spoke, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Paani mein geela hi hote hain, Dhang se nhi chal sakte the, khud toh geere hi mujhe bhi geela kar diya, ab fir se nahana padega! Guddan huffed.

And soon both looked at each other in realization. Guddan looked down and AJ looked her down too and she shrieked.

"Nikaliye yahan se!!

"Ja raha hu, koi shauk nhi hai tumhe dekhne kaa! He retorted and amidst her incessant pushing stepped out of the bath, whilst she shut the door behind his back.

As Guddan stepped out of the bath, she saw AJ dressed up in dhoti and kurta, whose strings he was struggling to tie. Apparently, room service has lent him these traditional wear since the only clothes he had were soaked to the core. Shaking her head at his angry expressions, she stepped closer to him and removing his fingers, started tying the kurta.

"Main kar loonga! He spoke and tried to remove her fingers but she won't budge.

"I didn't ask you for help! He spoke, catching her fingers. At this she looked up at him annoyed and replied, "Madad maangne se aapka 6 feet ka kad ghis nhi jayega! And by the way, strings ko tie karte hain, unhe angry old man looks dekar kaam karne ke liye vo aapke bte ya bahu nhi hai!

And this shut him up and Guddan tied and crisscrossed the strings. All the while his eyes were fixed on her and he remembered a past incident.

Flashback

"Kya Akshat!? You are such a perfectionist, kabhi toh mauka diya karo help karne ka! Antara whined as Akshat smiled, buttoning up his blazer.

"Lijiye ho gaya! Guddan clapped her hands, pleased at herself and smiled at him who continued with the intense looks, which Guddan failed to catch.

"Bas ek cheez ki kami hai...ek minute! And saying this, she opened a box behind him and soon she appeared in front of him and standing on her tippy toes, made him wear the Turban.

Once done, Guddan looked him over and smiled at him impressed. "Kya baat hai! Aap toh Padmavati ke shahid kapoor ko bhi maat de rahe hain!

At this, AJ let out a small smile that Guddan noticed.

"You know what uncle, vese toh main compliments deti nahin par aapko de hi deti hu...Aap bahot ache lag rahe hain! Guddan smiled sincerely, at which Akshat looked at her surprised, his heart losing a beat. Though his wasn't the only one because Guddan's heart has skipped quite a few beats since the small surprised smile he had given. But there was one difference, Guddan failed to realize what AJ realized in a snap. Change. Badlav.

"Main na Dadi ko photo bhejti hu! Guddan spoke excited and clicked him from different angles, while AJ looked at his reflection in the mirror scared.

So how was it?😉
