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.

Sidharth: Oh bhaiyya!! No need to stop the ride, just keep going.

The operator nods okay.

Shehnaaz: Oye Mister, I want to get down I said.

The operator looks at them perplexed. Sidharth shows him the palm and gestures to continue. She flares her nose angrily and stares at him and Sidharth shows him the money. He nods and continues without looking at Shehnaaz.

Shehnaaz: (raged) Fine!! I will dive into the river and swim to the shore myself.

She tries to get up but Sidharth pulls her back and she lands in his lap. He hugged her from back by holding her wrists.

Sidharth: Sweetheart, I was just joking.

Shehnaaz: Is it? But it didn't look like you were joking. I've caught your lie so many times earlier but this one didn't look like a lie to me.

Sidharth: Improvisation sweetheart! I stay with an undercover officer, I need to upgrade my skills and become smarter.

He bites her ears playfully, she moans softly and stares into his eyes and he pecks her lips. She looks at the boat operator but he wasn't looking at them as it was much common thing for him. She holds him by his collar and pulls him down so that the operator's view was blocked by their seat's back rest and kisses him passionately until they both start panting.

Sidharth: I am done with the boat ride. I think we should go back to our hotel now. (Winks)

Shehnaaz smiles with a blush and nods. They get back to the hotel for a steamy romance. They order the room service to serve their dinner in their room and go to sleep after dinning.

Sidharth wakes up holding his head in his hand. Shehnaaz orders a lime juice for him as he had a morning hangover after consuming too much wine last night.

Sidharth: I think I drank too much in excitement last night.

Shehnaaz: Why did you drink when you can't handle? Let's cancel our plan for today and stay indoor.

Sidharth: I will be fine in sometime. You freshen up and then I will get ready then will go out.

They go out to roam they return in the late afternoon as Sidharth drank the complimentary wine for lunch and had a hangover again.

Shehnaaz: Sidharth, you take rest for a while. Until then I've booked for a Thai massage for myself.

He nods and she leaves

Sidharth wakes up with a splash of water on his face. Shehnaaz bangs the jug on table and occupies a chair beside it stroking her hair in disgust. Sidharth held his head in his hand and looks at her and turns red out of anger when he finds Vikram in their room. Sidharth dials the phone kept on the table beside his bed.

Sidharth: Hello, room service, I am calling from room no. 313. I need a help to book an immediate next flight to India please. One ticket in the name of Sidharth Mathur.

Vikram looked at him in shock. As soon as he disconnected, Vikram corners him.

Vikram: What's going on Sidharth? What's wrong with you?

Sidharth: Am I really answerable to you - legally or personally?

Vikram: I am sorry, but I am just being.. as a friend of Shehnaaz..

Sidharth: Then you keep your questions, equations, angles everything exclusively for her only. Don't even try to mess with me ever.

Gets a call on the room telephone. Sidharth speaks over it and disconnects.

Sidharth: I am leaving as I know you are here to give her the company now. There is no need for me to be present here. Enjoy the honeymoon!

Shehnaaz glares at him in anger with her eyes fully red.

Vikram: What the hell are you speaking Sidharth? She is your wife. How can you speak such words for her?

Sidharth: Ooohh (Lifts both his hands up in the air) I am sorry officer. It hurt you! (Smirks)

Sidharth starts packing his suitcase and takes all the travel documents leaving her belongings untouched.

Vikram stood and looked at him rubbing his forehead with one hand while the other rested on his waist.

Vikram: Guys!! I am going out, I think you both need to talk and sort it out.

Shehnaaz: No need Vikram. I have witnessed enough and I don't really think that leaves any space to talk now.

Vikram: It is wrong! You guys love each other so much, why can't you'll talk. I am sure there is some misunderstanding and preconceptions which isn't allowing y'all to think sanely.

Sidharth zips the bag and drags his suitcase to the door. Vikram goes and blocks the door.

Vikram: Sidharth, don't do this. You will lose a gem. Please, I beg of you!!

Sidharth: It's a piece od glass mistaken for gem. Now get the hell out of my way you bloody rascal.

Vikram doesn't move.

Shehnaaz: Mind your tongue Mr. Mathur, you are speaking to an officer.

Sidharth turns back and looks at her and smirks.

Sidharth: Oohh!! That's a saga, the way you two take stand for each other. True Love!!!

Shehnaaz: You are going overboard now. How can a person at fault speak so much? You don't have an inch of shame left in you.

Sidharth: I am shameless? Really? I thought the job of officer is to seek the truth and not manipulate and twist the truth.

As they both started talking Vikram removes the telephone cord, picks their mobiles and locks the door from outside.

Sidharth: Open the door Vikram! (He bangs on the door)

Vikram: I am standing right outside, speak and sort out else I won't open it.
