So far, I guess neither of them realize that the other person is Indian! Imagine Vicky answering back to Nargis' mumbling in Hindi! Nargis ki phir se vaat laga dega woh! 😆

And so nice how Vicky is concerned, though he doesn't show as much!

Khurana men have this issue with displaying their true emotions!

i agree..it would have been...a sad love story..ke pyar milne se pehle bichar gaya and then i would have had to do a reincarnation..imagine...

Arre Arre muse..you are awesome..i had thought..something of the sort..and now..you have given me..the exact line...

Chapter 3

Saala! Harami kahin ka! Bas aankhen marta rehta hai! Nargis muttered to herself as she turned to look out the window..to see how long before they land.

Vicky laughs out loud'puts his head back and keeps smiling. Nargis is wondering yeh pagal mere baajoo mein kyon aake baitha..hai..God' I hope we land soon.. I shall request them not to put him next to her.

They served them some refreshment but the plane was so quiet other than of course Mr Mental next to her who now had started flirting with the airhostess in French, that she could feel that the technical problem seemed bigger than what the Captain said. She knew a smattering of it and understood that he was really trying to flatter in a witty manner without being over enthusiastic in trying to find out what technical problem there was with the plane. Very subtle and smooth thought Nargis sarcastically. She was just hoping she would be able to go to New York soon enough.

After couple of hours of circling around, the Captain finally announced that they were approaching the landing and asked everyone to fasten their seat belts.

Nargis had been preparing her rebuke after the small talk he had with airhostess was over, but he just put his head back and went to sleep. Nargis was left fuming, sleep this man could fall asleep knowing that something is wrong with the flight? Wow. He roused as the captain spoke, looked at her smiled a small smile and buckled himself up. He just said "almost there!"

Nargis just gave a nod and waited for the plane to land.

As they moved towards the designated counter where they were giving information about the arrangements and the next flight, Vicky asked Nargis, Listen! I am going to organize a chartered plane do you want to join me? I have to go to a meeting in New York tomorrow morning and so I can't wait for these people to organize something for me. As you are going to New york on business as well I thought maybe you would not mind my company after all!

Nargis thought through what he had said for few minutes and then agreed with him. He then took over. He talked to the personnel at the counter, cancelled their tickets and he had organized the chartered plane to leave in couple of hours and had smooth talked the staff into getting their baggages sorted our for them. Vicky suggested that they might as well have lunch while they waited for the plane to be readied for them and their baggage to arrive.

Nargis not wanting to argue with him all the time agreed. Vicky had given his phone number to the personnel to give a call once the baggage arrived. Nargis was reluctantly impressed that one could charm the airport people to work for them rather than the other way around.

Vicky seemed to read her thoughts and said. I know her. And no not the way I know Sarah from last night. He smirked. Nargis was about to say I don't care when he again gave that totally dashing smile took her elbow and said..Lets go Zeno! I know what you think of me!

Nargis seemed to be stumped and just followed him silently.

As they went to one of the restaurants on the airport, he pulled the chair for her to sit and asked her what she would like as the cute waitress smiled at him and took his order. Vicky seemed to attract girls without even trying, it was like a moth to a flame. He was not that classically handsome. He was fair ( make it very fair even for a white man) with light brown hair and eyes (those eyes were laughing all the time) with gold flecks in them. He had a wide forehead, with wavy hair cut short and combed away from the face. He was wearing blue jeans white shirt and a beige leather jacket today with tanned shoes. This guy knew how to dress, Nargis thought. He also had a very endearing smile. Crooked. He had this deep pink lips with the lower one fuller than the upper one, showing he was a sensual man.

Nargis came out of her reverie to hear the waitress laugh at something that Vicky had said smiled and said I will be back with you in a minute.

They had their lunch of bouillabaisse with baguettes for herself, Pot au feu as main course and Vicky had some white wine to accompany his lunch. Just as Vicky paid up for the lunch after declining nargis's offer to go dutch, he got a call from the ground staff who had their bags.

They walked over to the counter, Vicky put the luggage on the trolley and they started towards the gate where their charter was just about ready for them.

Nargis was fascinated with the interior of the 10 seater lear jet that was going to be their transportation. She had never travelled in such a small plane before and was not sure she was going to like that part but she definitely likee the luxurious atmosphere this plane had. The seats were wider with a table in between two seats facing each other on which they could eat or work. The crew was one air hostess and there seemed to be a bedroom with a lavish bathroom unlike the commercial aircraft where you literally had to walk sideways and crouch.

Nargis did dart a worrying glance at the bedroom but dismissed that thought. Vicky and Nargis settled in as they heard their pilot greeted them and advised the weather conditions, duration of flight and other necessary details as they taxied off for a take off.

As soon as captain switched off the the seat belt sign, Nargis saw Vicky busy himself with his laptop and poring into something earnestly. He also made a call to someone on the satellite phone the plane offered.

Nargis taking his cue opened up her laptop and started working on the contract she was going to discuss with the client in New York and making notes in a notepad she had opened as well.

She looked up probably after half hour to find Vicky staring at her with questions in his eyes as he sipped the drink the airhostess had given them.

He said so tell me, what do you do? When he saw she had looked from her laptop and the pen was still in her mouth which she consciously removed, she had been so engrossed that she almost blinked to think about the answer.

Huh! Oh! I am a lawyer, she said. Vicky looked surprised and said..oh really? And Nargis was like what..i can't be a lawyer? Just as he saw her going into the defensive mode, he put both his hands up, put his head forward as if in supplication and said..

No No! don't start fighting I was thinking out loud, you look more like a model than a lawyer so I mentioned. You are very beautiful.

Nargis was like yeah sure! And said Oh wouldn't that be convenient for you! Anyway, I am a lawyer and a good one at that.

Vicky not deterred easily, said, brushing aside her snide remarks, Well beauty with brains! A lethal combination! My brother always advises to be careful!

What! What a chauvinistic lot you and your brother are! You want your women to be these bimbos with big' she put up her hands to convey..what the big was' and no brains'! so that you can have them and leave them. Huh! I knew I should not have accepted your offer to share the flight, its just that this contract is an important one and my client is expecting me tomorrow morning for a briefing before he signs the contract.

Oh! Hang on there sweetheart! Don't stereotype us. Admittedly I always believe that its less complicated to be with a beautiful woman who is not very intelligent but I disagree that they are all bimbos as you say. You are here with me now aren't you? And I am sure you didn't get your law degree by sleeping around.

Nargis was embarrassed at his words. No one had spoken so harshly to her and flirted at the same time. He seemed to complimenting and insulting her at the same time. She was so livid. She slammed her drink on the table and said Vicky! You don't know me and I would appreciate it if you didn't make comments about me in such fashion. Its disgusting and I am not going to qualify what you are saying by giving you an answer!

Vicky now realized he had pressed the wrong button. He remembered she is an Indian and tried to so some reparation by saying

Look! I am sorry! I didn't mean it that way! Anyway I am sure we can sit for the next 5 hours staring out the window so lets call it a truce. Zeno! Friends again? And proffered his hand in a handshake. I still don't know your name!

She reluctantly took it and just then the plane dipped in turbulence. Nargis quickly took her hand back and said..god! not again! In few seconds everything seems fine and the airhostess came to tell that it was alright now..it was just some turbulence.

Sighing Nargis remembered what he had said. And answered. Its Nargis. And quit calling me Zeno! I am not like his philosophy I am sure.

Vicky was impressed to know that she seemed to know the name of the famous philosopher, smiled and said Nargis as if trying to taste her name on his lips. Glad to make you acquaintance. Where are you from? You do have an American accent. But I can't seem to place you.

She said I am Indian American. My father is Indian and mother is American. I get the coloring and eyes from her and hair and height from my dad. She smiled as she thought of how much fun it would be to meet her parents after almost a year. Her brother and wife were going to have a baby in few months. She sighed as she reminisced about her family.

They talked about her family and what she had done. She mentioned she had now moved to India for last two years. They talked easily about her. He was a good conversationalist. Nargis seemed to want to answer his questions. He laughed at her anecdotes of experiences in India.

They were deeply engrossed in their chat, when the stewardess comes and talks to Vicky about something to each and the choices they have. Vicky asks Nargis and once they have decided on what they are going to eat, they just look at each other and seem to be lost in each other and in their own thoughts.

Breaking away both look into their laptop and start working again and the silence is heavy with undercurrent passing through it. Promptly, the stewardess brings their snack and they finish it without exchanging words. Vicky then goes to the pilot to do some chit chat and nargis is just looking out the window wondering about how comfortable it was to actually talk to Vicky. He definitely was a flirt but he was an intelligent man would seemed to be able to draw her out.

She was a bit reserved with men. She was a tomboy as a kid and had fantastic camaraderie with her brother but other men were not something that she got comfortable with. Even in school and later at college, she had dated but the dates usually did not go into any kinda relationships as the guys got frustrated as she used to clam up. She was not used to displaying her emotions or thoughts. She had not even been properly kissed yet. One was an attempt that bomb at the senior prom with a fellow geek and both had fumbled through it without any knowledge or emotion in it and other had been an attempt by her date to kiss her at her room door after a date in the hip Harvard square bar. She had not liked it and pushed the guy away said sorry and gone in.

She had after that decided to stay away from relationship that led to guys expecting more than friendship and an occasional dinner together.

Nargis fell asleep in her seat and Vicky came back to find her with her head resting in awkward position so decided to lift her and put her into the bedroom that was there for them to use. He picked her up and she seemed to snuggle into him in sleep as he walked into the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Nargis gave a sigh when he let go then held on to his hand when he was about to leave and turned and captured it beneath her face as he went near to extricate it from her. As he bent close he found her smiling in her sleep. Vicky enthralled by her decided to stay put and sat at the bottom of the bed with his hand captured between her face and bed, got comfortable and propped his head back against the curve of the plane and took a nap.

Vrushali..........Man....yeh ladka tau.....ugh....kya cheez hain??Uff...koi mauka nahi chodta....but overall he sounds like a nice guy...once you get past all all all that FLIRTING!!! And you were so right about me being a tomboy...really...i was the biggest tomboy growing up.....very little girly girly actions!!! And being kissed....hmmm...ok the less said the better......hehehehe!!😆😆😆 Now me sleeping wjile cuddling Vicky's arm.....hmmm...he seems to make a good pillow...but i am dying to see my reaction to finding my self in the bedroom....remember how nervous I got looking towards the bedroom when i boarded the flight???😕😆

Hmmmm...meine to apni life ke baare main kaafi kuch bata diya....but all I know of Vicky is that he has a brother......who seems to be just as chauvinistic as him.....and I gathered that Vicky is vastly impressed with his brother...and respects his ideas and opinions!!!
