My Accidental Marriage

Chapter 24| Bali

The time went by quickly in the flight. The first few hours, Khushi just enjoyed the outside view. She was amazed by the beautiful clouds. Later she discovered the small Tv in front of her. With that, The 6 hours flight went by in a jiff for her. Meanwhile Manish stayed up for few hours watching a movie and from time to time admiring Khushi. But soon after Lunch was served, Manish had dosed off till the flight landed in Singapore.

After reaching Singapore, The couple rushed to catch their next flight as the layoff time was just 1 hour. Luckily they reached the boarding gate of their next flight just in time. Though this time Khushi was less scared and more excited to actual witness the take off. This flight journey was even more quick. The 2 and half hours went by in a jiff. When the couple landed in Bali it was already around 9:30 at the night.

Khushi was hella tried at this point. They got out of the flight and headed to the baggage collection area to collect their bags. After collecting their bags, they headed out to the pick up area outside the airport where they met a cab driver who was pre-booked from the hotel they were staying at. As they exited the airport, They saw a man who was in his late 30 or 40s holding board with Mr and Mrs. Malhotra written on it.

Manish:"Hey"(He said moving up to that man)

Man:(looking at Manish and Khushi)"Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra?"(He said in his bali accent )

Manish:"Yes.. Your from.."

Man:"Grand Hytt hotel sir. My name is Noyman Mede"

Manish:"Oh.. Hello Noyman"

Noyman:" Lets go?"

Manish:"Yes yes.."

Noyman helped set the suitcase in the car trunk before the couple got in the back seat of the car and they started their drive back to the hotel. Manish noticed how Khushi had already fallen asleep leaning on the seat. But her head kept jerking due the bumps her and there. She was not able to find any comfortable place to rest her head.

Manish looked up front to see the Driver busy in his own world, Driving the car. Manish slowly leaned forward as he held Khushi's head preventing it from hitting the glass window. He slowly moved her head towards him, resting it on his shoulder as he patted her head slightly. As if finding comfort in her sleep, she snuggled more into his neck as she wrapped her arms around his right arms getting more comfortable. Manish froze as he felt her get into her own comfort before dozing off into deeper sleep.

Manish released the breath he held seeing her still again. He smiled at her acts before he turned to look ahead. The rest of the drive, his attention to divert back to Khushi from time to time just to make sure she was fine. Soon enough they reached the hotel. Noyman got out of the car as he opened the trunk and started to take out their luggage while Manish turned to Khushi.

Manish:"Khushi?.. Khushi?"

Khushi:(still in sleep)"hmm.?"

Manish:"Get up Khushi. We reached. "(He said in a soft voice)

Khushi's eyes flutter open as she looked around. She realized her surrounding as she looked at Manish. She removed her hands from around him as she sat up looking around feeling a little shy.

Manish:"I'll get our luggage"(He said as he got down while Khushi also followed him)

As they grabbed the luggage and entered the hotel, the beauty of it mesmerized Khushi. The whole lobby was decorated with lighting and flowers. It was all beach themes giving of a very unique vibe.

Khushi watched as Manish asked the Receptionist regarding their booking. Soon enough the bell boy came around and helped the couple to to their room. The bell boy opened the room as he set their luggage in before wishing them a good night and leaving.
