Am backkkkk!!! Finally Back!!!

Can I say that again? How looong has that been? I completely lost touch with my story, but I missed writing it soooo much. No, am not apologising, coz I don't deserve it. I absolutely needed this break owing to many things, and now truly delighted to be back here on this forum again. 🤍

If you still remember the story, thank you soooo much (that means the world to me) and welcome back! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
If you don't, no worries, coz I myself am the same. Author recommends reading previous chapter and then dive in here if you are completely blank. 🤓
The leads are on their honeymoon and they are struck in New Zealand since 7 months 😝 New pandemic (self created by author) stranded them👻
Come let's rescue them right here 😌👇🏻

(Please note that the honeymoon would be a bit sped up now coz it's been a while since I wrote this story. Author wants to focus on the upcoming tracks, so will try to wrap the honeymoon within this chapter)

♫ #AustraliaDiaries - Chapter 3 ♫

Roja and Arjun were yet again on a flight. They were about to land in Queenstown Airport, New Zealand in within an hour. Oh, what a splendid trip it had been for them so far. After finishing their itinerary in Australia, the lovebirds had headed to the New Zealand capital city of Auckland.
After 3 days in Auckland, the couple was headed towards the final destination of their honeymoon trip - Queenstown!

Roja : (dreamily sighing)
Naalkal eppdi oduthu ney theriyala sir. Athukulla 3 naal Auckland la odi poirchu. Aana ovvoru edathulayum Namma paatha kaatchigal appdiye kannukullaye nikkuthu sir! 😌

Arjun : Ama Roja! Evlo Edam paathom! 3 naal la Avlo paathom. Antha ooru la ellame irukku la, garden, zoo, cruise, museum, beach nu? 🤩
Ellarode tastes kum irukku. Namma family nammala sariyana edathuku than anupi irukkanga...

While Roja was reminiscing the time spent and the places they toured in Auckland, Arjun had a naughty smile playing on his lips as he was going through the photos clicked in the last 3 days.

Arjun : Itha paaru Roja. Auckland zoo la gorilla kooda gorilla pose kuduthutu irukka 😝

Roja : Sirrrrrr....!!! Itha photo edukka koodathu nu sonnen la. Photo edukka matten nu promise pannitu ippdi eduthu vechu irukkinga...! 😩

Roja : Ungaluku mattom than ippdi ellam edukka theriyuma? Naanum eduthu irukkene🤓

Cheekily grinning, Roja took out her phone and showed a photo. It was a photo of Arjun in a mess all because of an ice cream cone.

Roja: Saaarrr? Enna saar....
Auckland museum vassal la oru kadai la enakku mint chocolate ice cream romba pudikum nu vaangininga. Appdiye neengalum oru salted caramel cone vaangininga nyabagam irukka? 😉
Ivlo periya doctor, aana oru ice cream cone ah samalika mudiyala 🤭

Roja : Chella purushan than! Aana naa itha delete pannanum na.....

Arjun : Pannanum na....?

Roja : Pannanum na....athu vanthu...🙈

Arjun : Enna Roja, vekka padriya 😯

Roja : Ponga sir...! Enakku vekka vekkama varuthu...🙈

Arjun : Enakku onnume puriyala Rose uh😵‍💫

Arjun : OH MY GODDD! Pondati, neeya green signal kuduthu irukka? 😵
Ennala nambave mudiyalaye. Ithu mattom flight ah illa nu vei naa vaai vittu kathi iruppen Rose uh 🤩

After this sneaky convo in the midst of the clouds, neither of them could keep calm. Arjun could barely wait for the night to arrive.
After landing in Queenstown airport, they had a long road journey to Milford Sound, where an overnight cruise was planned for them, along with their nuptial night aboard the same cruise ship.🛳️

As soon as they landed in the airport, both of them collected their baggage and headed out to find a private car waiting for them to take them to the cruise point.
They were greeted by a friendly looking big man, who introduced himself as Michael, the driver for the journey.

Arjun (mumbling) : Ethukku driver laam...
Ithukku naane gps ah pottu self drive pannirpen. Karadi mathri oru driver thevaiya. En pondatti eh Ippothan mood la irukka. 😖

Michael: Don't worry sir. I won't intrude into your privacy 😀

Roja (stunned): You know our language?

Michael (laughing) : Oh no no Maam! I heard sir saying self drive. Being a newly married couple, i understand why you prefer self driving 😀

Arjun : Ivan alavukku meeri arivaali ah irukkane...!
Achacho! Ithuvum purinjirkumo😧

After exchanging pleasantries, Rojun got into the car to head to Milford. True to his word, Michael was focused on his driving and never even turned back once, while Rojun had all the time in the world for themselves. They were lost in the breathtaking scenery around them in this quaint little town.
After about an hour, Arjun finally broke the silence

Arjun : Roja, unkitta naa onnu kekkanum

Roja : Kelunga sir...

Arjun : Naa eppo aasaiya romance panna vanthalum thalli vitruva. Ethavthu kaaranam solluva. Aana Ippo neeye thaambathiyam namakulla nadakatum nu green signal eppdi kudutha

Roja : ☺️
Oru ponnu thanna mulusa oru aan kitta eppo opadaipa theriyuma sir? Ava avana mulusa nambina appram than. Antha nerathula than ava avankitta thannaye yezhaka thayaar aayiduva. Antha nambikkai enakku unga mela eppovo vanthurchu sir.

Neenga Ippo sonningale...Neenga eppo kitta vanthalum naa ungala ethavthu kaaranam solli thatti kalichitten nu. Aana naa ovvoru thadava appdi panrapovum yean yethukku nu ethuvume kekkama en unarvugal ku mattom mathippu kuduthu neenga vilagi poi irukkinga.
Enna porutha vara, ithavida Enakku unga mela nambikkai vara vera ethuvum thevai illa sir. ☺️

Arjun was rendered speechless for a minute, after which he embraced her warmly and taking his phone out clicked a selfie to capture the beautiful moment ✨📸

———————————————————

A couple of hours later, they reached Milford, their cruise point. Michael got off the car and gently welcomed Rojun to the place.

Michael (with his signature big smile) : Have a lovely time, dears.

Arjun (shaking hands) : Thanks Michael, you've been truly amazing! Thank you so much for the wonderful ride. And please, no offence on what I said in the airport. 😌

Michael : Oh no no! I absolutely understand. Enjoy your time here. It's near evening. Sunset from the cruise is stunning. 😍

A few mins later, Rojun stood atop the viewing deck of the ship, in the middle of the sea, watching the hot golden ball dip itself into the majestic cool waters.

Arjun : Naa flight la sonnen la Roja!
Vaai vittu kathanum pola irukku nu. Ippo yarume illa. Naa vaai vittu dharalama kathalam!! 😚

ROJAAAAA....I LOVE YOU......!!!! 🤩

Roja joined him seconds later.

I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH ARJUN SIRRRR!!! 🥰

After a delicious spread of Indian dishes served in a romantic candle light dinner set up, where both of them fed each other, they were lead to a room deep inside, by a friend looking waiter.
The path to the room was adorned with fairy lights and strewn rose petals

Finally the reached a beautifully decorated door. It was an arch shaped door decorated with pink roses.

As soon as they opened the door, the sight that greeted them left them mesmerised 🩷

It was a beautiful welcoming nuptial night set up, themed in a pretty shade of pink. ☺️✨🩷

Arjun : Aahaa pink curtain, pink balloons, pink pillow, pink bedsheet, pink heart, rose petals, candle lights
Aaahaaaaa....!!!! Enna oru rasanai la Roja 🤩

Roja : Intha alavukku namakku yerpaadu pannuvanga nu naa ethire paakala sir. Avlo azhaga irukku

They spotted a tiny handwritten note on the bed which read 
"Check the table for a bag. Find your clothes in that bag." 🩷

True to the note, they found a big pink paper bag on the table. That bag contained a satin pink nightgown for Roja, and a white satin night suit set for Arjun. It aligned with the mood of the room. They quickly changed.

Arjun : Appram Rose uhhhh....
Avanga side la irunthu ellathayum Avlo azhaga panni kuduthutanga. Innime namma side la irunthu panna vendiyathu than irukku. Enna solra 😉

Roja : 🙈🙈🙈

Arjun took the cue and hugged her tightly from behind. They both fell together on the bed.

🎀🩷💖💗🤍💗💖🩷🎀

..................Curtains close..................

(Avanga paathupanga. Namma decent ah vanthurvom vaanga😁)

10:30 AM NEXT MORNING
(Avanga yean late nu ungaluke theriyum😉)

The next morning after waking up refreshing and getting ready, the couple came out to be greeted by a delicious breakfast. While they sat to enjoy their breakfast, they got a video call from Kalpana.
They were surprised as it was just 4:15 am in India.

Arjun picked it up and saw a freshly bathed smiling Kalpana on the other side.

Kalpana: Good Morning!! ☺️

Roja : Athai! Ivlo seekiram enthirchitingala 😯

Arjun : Enna ma avasaram Ippo. Mani 4:15 aavthu la. Athukulla kulichu ready aayitinga. Innum konja neram thoongirka vendiyathu thane ma. Enna ma...naa illa na udamba paathukarthu illa pola. Irunga naa vanthu vechikaren. 🤨

Kalpana : Dei Dei Dei nee periya doctor nu enakku theriyum. Athukaga vidiya kalaila ippdi oru panchayat ah yean da kootra
Oru naal 4 mani ku yezhunthu kulicha enakku enna da aaga porthu. Athuvum illama nethu unga rendu perukum evlo mukkiyam aana night. Atha pathi kekkama enakku thookam varathu da😁

At the mention of that, both Roja and Arjun turned into a bright shade of red. Seeing them blush, Kalpana was overjoyed. She understood that it was all as expected

Kalpana : Ada paara vekkatha!! Appo Naa nenachathu sari thane 🤩

Both of them nodded shyly. 🙈
Kalpana understood everything and rejoiced to herself. 😁However not wanting to make them more embarrassed she quickly changed the topic

Kalpana: Appram saptingala pa?

Roja : Itho Ippothan sapadrom athai. Inga pala naal ku appram veetu sapadu mathri dosai chutney sambar laam kedachirku athai. 🤩
Itha sapta than athai puriyarthu. Naanga athukulla veetayum unga samayalayum evlo miss panrom nu

Kalpana : Naanga ellarum kooda than ungala Romba miss panrom. Ellarum thoongaranga, illaina kandippa video call la vanthu pesi iruppanga
Athunala Enna Roja...innum rendu naal la paaka thane porom🤩
Arjun, ungaluku naalaiku night thane flight pa?

Arjun : Ama ma, naalaiku night 10:50 local time flight take off. Ungaluku evening pola than ma irukkum. Naa call panren ☺️

Kalpana : Ok pa, enjoy pannunga! Naa appram koopadren 😁

Kalpana cut the call, and Rojun dug into a feast. After the breakfast, they said goodbye to the cruise ship and all the friendly people who had served them for a day. Then they headed again to Queenstown, where they had an evening to shop and roam around the place. Roja insisted on buying gifts for the whole family and the orphanage members too. So after a busy day, both drifted off to sleep. They knew that a long day was awaiting them ahead. 🛫

Next morning ☀️
They were all ready and packed, eager to head back to their nest. First was a flight to Auckland, after which they had a long flight to Chennai, with a halt at Singapore.

✈️🛩️☁️✈️🛩️☁️✈️🛩️☁️✈️🛩️☁️✈️🛩️☁️

After what felt like an eternity, they finally landed in Chennai airport, frazzled by the long flight journey. Their nest, their home, their nation....

✨

Upon reaching home, Roja and Arjun were greeted with smiles, hugs, cheers, stories and ofc a whirlwind of questions! 💗

Just then Arjun's phone rang.
He attended the call, went inside and spoke for about 5 mins. 
When he came back his face was in full bloom.

Paati : Mogathula iruntha Avlo tiredness um poi Ippo ivlo fresh ah irukka! Yaru da phone la? 

Arjun : Ennode license ah Medical Council President munnadi reinstate panni official ah Naa marubidiyum practice pannalam nu announce panna oru function vara Saturday irukku! 🤩

To be continued.
Thanks for reading ❤️
