Aakash: Yes, it is
Disha: U know I love travelling, & that's why I took up event management. I like meeting new people & travelling new places.
Aakash: Even I love travelling. I have traveled most of the places.
Disha is taken aback.(in her mind): Why is he lying to me. He was so afraid when he entered the flight. He may be having a fear, phobia of flights. Then why is he lying to me?
Aakash: Oh I had taken flight to Austria, it was so beautiful. Its one place u should visit.
Disha: lagta hai yeh bhi ladki ko dekh , has started flirting.Yeh janaab jhoot pe jhoot boleja rahe hain. Disha tu hamesha to har ladke ko dekh pehchan leti kaisa hoga, isbaar pehchane mey lagta hai galti ho gayee).. she starts getting angry as well as upset.
Aakash : Disha would u like to have coffee.
Disha: (Not looking at his face) No!
Aakash is zapped what happened to her suddenly.
He sits and Disha starts roaming & sits in the corner where he may not be near her.
Disha: Na jane apne aapko kya samajhta hai. He looked so handsome & ya , his cute smile & that wonderfull voices.. aur to kuch hai hi nahi(still thinking about him)Uff kyun uska hi khayaal aa raha hi.
Besides her a group of Africans comes & sit.
Disha: OhGod!! They look so horrifying, let me be safe & sit in some other place.
She gets up & moves ahead, she sees Aakash chatting jovially with a granny .She goes near to hear the conversation.
Aakash: Baa, now u better take rest. & Don't worry I will be guiding u. Main hooon na phir aap kyun pareshan hoti hin. Waise aur kuch chahiye to boliye.
Baa: Beta, accha hua yeh pardesh mey koi help karne ke liye milgaya. Thank u Beta.
Aakash: Baa, Ab yeh thank u mat kahiye, haan agar aap de sakti hain to bas muskurate hue ashirwad dena. Bada selfish hun , woh kya hai main ek award function pe jaa raha hoon, ab aapka ashirwad hoga to jaroor jitunga.(Giving her medicnes.)
Baa looks at Disha whos staring at them..Aakash looks back..
Aakash: Disha come I will introduce u.
Baa: Baa, Yeh Disha Mehta hai, hum college mey sath the, aur dekho aaj itne salo baad is flight pe mile. Disha yeh Pyaari si baa hai, I mean inka naam Sarla Patel hai. She is going to UK to see her grandson.
Disha: Namaste aunty.
Aakash: Baa kaho aur dekho inka chehra kaise khilta hai. Hain na baa.
Baa: Haan beta, India mey bhi mere bachoo ko kehti hoon, but ajkal sab Mom hi bulate hain
Disha: yeh mediceines, kya hua hai.?
Aakash: Woh Baa pehli baar travel kar rahi hai na. So she started feeling uneasy. BP thoda high ho gaya tha. Ab baa ko theek lag raha hai . I will just check out whether the flight is at the right time.

They enter the flight …..
Aakashholding Baa's hand) : Aapko acha lagta hai, to aap chahiye to Disha ke sath bethiye.
Baa: Nahi, smiling..tum udhar betho , main bilkul theek hoon. Smiling looking at both of them.
Aakash takes his seat.
Disha is confused…(He is so adorable & caring) Ismey aisi kya baat hai, Roothna bhi mushkil hota hai..(smiles)
Aakash: Disha itna smile kar rahi hai. Pehle to mujhse roothisi lagi. May be Baa ne kuch kaha hoga.
Everyone in the flight r sleeping. Aakash n Disha r trying to look at the movie but its boring.
Disha tries to sleep & tries to take out her seat belt which mistakingly hurts Aakash.
Aakash: Ab marna hi hai, to belt se mat maro. It may not sound convincing agar kisiko batana ho
Disha: (laughing) Sorry..Aakash…and takes the blanket..
Aakash: Sorry bhi kahti ho aur hass bhi rahi ho…(even he takes a blanket.)
Disha: (trying to stop laughing) ..college mey to tumhe yun haste aur hasate nahi dekha kabhi . u have changed so much.
Aakash: Ya, kash I could, Took life too seriously, Mujhe lagta ab nahi mehnat karunga to kabhi. But I guess, life teaches u, enjoy each day kal ho na ho.
Disha: U & ur friends, tum sabse alag the. Who sab to padhaee ke sivay sab karte.
Aakash: Ya, & all were after u . As u were so famous winning all the competitions.

Disha: Really…Remember ur friend Veer, uski to maine kya pitaee ki thi.
Aakash: Poor he, he was just postman the letter was written by saket actually.
Disha: Oh God!! (Shocked) & I bashed that poor guy. Howz he doing?
Aakash: Saket or Veer?
Disha: Veer ofcourse, I know he was ur good friend.
Aakash: he is fine. He still is my best friend.
Both realise while taking they have been wrapping around the same blanket , pulling at each end.
Aakash immediately takes his hand off: I m sorry
Disha: is a bit embarresed at the way she didn't realise & cant understand what to say.
Both realise some fondness they r developing towards each other. It feels as if they want to keep talking.After a long silence.
Disha: Smiles and goes to sleep..
Aakash: Smiles..closes his eyes…Its Disha smiling face which captures all his imagination.
Same happens with Disha.
Both open their eyes, looking at each other with a half hearted smile.
The flight lands at UK airport. Aakash, Disha & Baa stand to check out their luggage.
Baa: Aate waqt laga najane kaise pahunchungi, aur ab kitna acha lag raha hai. Main apne pote ko dekhungi, uske sath khelungi.
Disha: Smiling…yes Baa..
Aakash: Baa Aap bolo main aapk ko drop karun aapke bete ke ghar.
Baa: Beta, chinta mat karo mera beta airport lene araha hai.
Disha: Waise aap ka beta kya karta hai.
Baa: woh Engineer hai, "Hastein Co"mey kaam karta hai.
Disha: Ok, "Hastein Co" ke kai log Africa tour mey ghayal hue the..
Baa: Haan, bhagwaan ki kripa se mera beta us tour mey nahi tha. Magar uske kuch friends accident mey maare gaye..
Disha: Yes, it was terrible . It was so tragic.na Aakash…(looking at him)
Aakash doesnt say a word, a whole silence grips him. Disha feels his face is as tensed as it was when he had entered the flight. Akash without saying anything starts collecting the luggage and heads towards the exist.. Baa waves & goes with her Son & daughter in law. Disha's event organising agency & Akash Company people arrive with their name plates, they receive them and both of them just say a BYE and head into their cars.
