Part 1 ~ Shoot……. And Miss.

The letter dropped from Arnav's hands as he stared at the letter at his feet with sheer disbelief.

She had left? Just like that….?

Where could she go?

How!

He didn't know whether she had taken the train or the plane….

What to do!

If he went to the airport now, it'd be a problem if she was the railway station, and vice-versa.

He'd HAVE to start somewhere!

He did it in the most Khushi-Method.

He pulled out a coin.

Heads- Airport

Tails- Railway Station

He tossed the coin and caught it between his hands.

Tails.

Arnav frowned. Railway station?!

He shook his head and pocketed the coin. He was being stupid, letting a coin decide. He'd go to the airport.

{This happens to me too. Opposite of the result -.- }

She didn't have much luggage- a handbag and an airbag. She checked in her luggage.

She had brought the first ticket she could lay her hands on… Any ticket that would go to any city in France at the earliest; in short, she had to be in France as soon as possible. If it wasn't to Lyon, she'd land in another city and take a train from there.

She was going to Paris first. Her flight was in twenty minutes and she had checked in her luggage and heard the final call for her being announced on the speakers.

"This is the final call for Miss Khushi Gupta to board aircraft number AF293 to Paris, France . Thank you."

She quickened her pace and finally reached the gate. She apologized to the crew and hurried into Air France plane.

She occupied her seat, adjacent to the aisle, next to an old man and woman with a little baby girl. She kept her gaze fixed to the seat in front of her and decided to sleep through the flight and plan her next steps.

Bhaiyya had said that it'll take two weeks for him to wind up his things there. It had been about five days since he had left {I think} She had eight more days to think of how to explain situations to Bhaiyya so that he won't wouldn't blame Arnav entirely for it. She'd stay in Paris for a week and then she'd tell Ashish at the last minute. That way, he'd be sort of unprepared and won't have much time to think. And by the time everything settles down, Bhaiyya would cool down. Yes. That'd be the best way.

{Before you go "W*F!" on me, I know her logic is really ridiculous, but she is just trying to FIND excuses and conveniently fit in her part of the story}

And with that, she drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

Arnav rushed into the airport and past the security just in time to hear an announcement.

"This is the final call for Miss Khushi Gupta to board aircraft number AF293 to Paris, France . Thank you."

Final Call!?

He hoped badly Khushi would be late as his eyes scanned the LCD TV to find the gate number of Air France.

And as he watched, the 'BOARDING' sign changed to 'TAKE OFF'.

He whirled frantically towards the glass window which overlooked the run way. He saw a large white Boeing Airbus take off, the letters Air France standing out on its rear.

She was gone…….

BUT…..

He knew where she was going…
