Rufaida woke up from sleep a bit early that morning...She had a beautiful dream...a beautiful dream about her Akya...It was about 5 years since 'Airlines' ended but she was still into it...She could never let it go from her mind...Come on who can forget Captain Anannya Rawat and Captain Akash Saluja??...Sitting on the bed Rufaida smiled thinking of them...a big beautiful curve formed on her lips...remembering all the memories of Airlines...Suddenly she remembered about the dream...'I need to go to my balcony now' She said and rushed to her balcony with a pen and her 'Akya Diary' in hands...Whenever she used to get a dream of them, she used to write it in that diary sitting in her balcony, looking at the vast sky and missing them...She went to her balcony and sat on her chair and put the diary on the lil table there...took the pen in hand and started writing...
Akash and Anannya were sitting on a bench in their hilly garden, admiring the beautiful nature around them...They actually went to their 'Shimla Farm House' for a outing with their family...They were now in their 70's...having white hair and a bit loose skin...everything almost changed around them but what did not was their love...the love between them...Their two daughters, and son in laws went out with their children for a stroll...so Akya got some alone time...
Akash: Anannya jindegi acchi hi bit gaayi hain na?
Anannya: Haan Akash Inde Air se ajtaak, zindegi ne kabhi mujhe shikhayad ka mouka nehi diya...
Akash: Accha? *laughs* To tum kehna chahti ho ki jab maine tumhe ignore kiya tha tab bhi nehi?
Anannya: *looked at him with irritation* Uff! tabki to baat hi maat karo tum!
Akash: *Laughs loudly* hahaha! Accha chalo aj thoda hum yaado ke gaaliyon se ghumke aate hain...yaad hain hamari pehli mulakat?
Anannya: Haha kitna lade the hum...and I hated you truly...
Akash: Haan mujhe bhi itna irriation hua tha ki kiya batayu...
They looked at each other and laughed their heart out for sometime...
Anannya: Jo bhi bolo Akash woh drugs agar nehi ata mere pass to dosti hi nehi hoti...
Akash: haan yaar ye to sahi hain...bag exchange ne hamari zindegi exchange karadi...
Anannya: hahaha, haan! Kitna vaage the hum usdin..
Akash: Aur uff tum to kuch bolo hi maat kiya jasusi kar rahi thi tum mujhpe...'chalana kaha se sikha?' aisa laga mujhe ki main ek first officer ke saath nehi kisi jamsi bondi ke saath hu!
Anannya: Jamsi Bondi? *weird look*
Akash: Haan, James Bond ka female version!
Anannya: Tum bhi na Akash *laughs*
Akash: Vaise mujhe sabse jyada yaad ati hain jaipur mein woh dinner...
Anannya: Haan akash ye to saach hain...usdin hi to realise hua tha mujhe ki kuch to aisaas ane laage hain tumhare liye mujhe...
Akash: *kissed Anannya's cheeck* Haan main bhi toh...aur tumhe woh jagdamba taxi yaad hain?
Anannya: Areh haan...woh waiter kitna funny tha na? Aur tumne jo itna saara khaana order kiya tha woh jyada funny tha *eww-look*
Akash: *disturbed face* Nehi tumhare museli aur milk se jyada bakwaas aur kuch nehi tha!
Anannya: *smiles* Akash, I love you...
Akash: I love you too Anannya *smiling*...but uske baad ke hi din kitna bara jhatka de diya tumne mujhe...itni baari hero kyun banne gaayi thi?
Anannya: Hostages ko bachana mera duty tha Akash...aur mujhe kuch nehi hota...tum jo the...
Akash: Haan aur kuch? *irritated face*
Anannya: Akash?? *sad face*
Akash: Arey chill...main to majak kar raha tha...I am proud of you anannya always...
Anannya: Aur uske baad ki journey ko main yaad bhi nehi karna chahthi!
Akash: Tumhe maine bohot chot pohchayi thi na Anannya? *sighed*
Anannya: Areh nehi Akash *cupped his face* tumse mujhe koyi shikayaad nehi hain Akash...tumne to kitne risk uthaye apne desh ke liye...aur main tumhe samajh hi nehi paayi...maine tumhe kitne chot pouchaye hain...*Looked down in guilt*
Akash: Anannya, kitni baar yehi baat karogi? Jaisa bartaav maine kiya tha usmein tumne jaisa feel kiya bilkul thik hi tha...
Anannya put her head on Akash's shoulder...and Akash took her in his arms...
Anannya: Maine kabhi nehi socha tha Rohit sir , babu niklega...
Akash: Maine bhi nehi...babu ko uski saja mil gayi anannya and I am happy ki Nats bhi thik hain aur apne zindegi mein khush hain...
Anannya: Haan Akash, Natasha ko bhi kitna pyaar karne wala pati mil gaya...and they are so happy with their son, daughter in law and little grand daughter in England...
Akash: Haan...Aur Shefu bhi kitni khush hain na? Uski beti ki bhi shaadi ho gayi yaar...aur Bete ki bhi jald hi ho jayegi...soch ke bhi kaisa lagta hain na?
Anannya: *giggles* Haan...meri choti si bacchi ne Kunal ke diye huye ghav ko kabhi khud pe haavi nehi hone diya...Ek amazing rockstar baani...aur dekho use Roshan bhi mil gaya...Kitna pyaar hain undono mein...perfect couple...
Akash: Haan aur hamare perfect neighbours bhi to hain woh dono Delhi mein...vaise hum bhi toh hain khush Anannya...hamari dono pari kab itni baadi ho gaayi pata hi nehi chala...unki shaadiyaan aur ab ye unke bacche bhi...abhi to ye nati-natin na ho to chain hi nehi milta hain,haina?
Anannya: Haan...ekdam...zindegi acchi hi bit gaayi Akash...abhi jitne din baki hain bas tumhare saath pura ji lena chahthi hu...*moved her head from his shoulder and looked up at Akash*
Akash: *Kissed anannya's forehead* Haan Anannya...main bhi!
Just then the whole family of them came from behind and started teasing them that how much love still was in them despite of being so old...how romantic and how beautiful their bond still was...Akash and Anannya took their 3 grandchildren in their laps together and started gossiping with everyone...adoring their grandchildren...Just like a happy family...
Rufaida stopped writing...yeah this was her beautiful dream...she looked at the blue sky and said...' I will never forget you two, I will never forget Airlines'...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know Airlines was, is and will be a very beautiful part of our life forever...So this was just a tribute to our very own AKYA and AIRLINES!
