They had got married some months
ago and as they both loved beaches, they were waiting to vacation at an exotic
SouthEast Asia island destination.
She had made the entire
travel-planning and booking when he announced that he had to urgently go abroad
for a month-long official assignment.
While cancelling everything, she
felt angry, helpless & lost like a rudderless ship without a compass…
When he returned home, a smart
& relaxing Beach-themed-makeover of their bedroom awaited him.
