Part 2
Ravjot envelops Heer into a hug the minute she put down her carry on luggage.
"Sheesh Ravs, you're acting as if I was about to die," Heer rolls her eyes as they let go of each other.
"I'm sorry," Ravjot moves away. "Don't blame us if you missed this flight."
"She's right," Madhuri chimes in. "Uncle would have killed the four of us if anything had happened to you,"
Heer shrugs and sits down in between Zahra and Shifali. "You two aren't saying anything."
Shifali casually flips the page in her magazine. "Is there something you want me to say?"
Heer looks at her and takes the magazine out of her hands and checks the cover and puts it back. "If you had just told me you were reading 'jiju's' interview. I would've understand,"
Zahra bursts out laughing while Ravs and Maddy are trying hard to not to laugh. Shifali just glares at all of them to stop.
"Just because it's an Imran Khan interview doesn't mean I'm going to ignore you guys, I just didn't have anything to say to Heer, that's all." Shifali explains. "And seriously stop calling him that. I've never even met him. He's just cute, that's all,"
Zahra shakes her head. "Yeah...right! You would always have something to say when ANY of us are late, as for the Imran Khan thing. Yes yes, we've been through this."
Ravjot shakes her head and sits down across from Shifali. "Have you ever wondered what you'd do if you met him somewhere?"
Shifali sighs as she shuts the magazine. "Nope, and we've been through this a few times, right girls?" The other four just look at her, waiting for an answer. "Fine. If I met himโI don't know what I'd do; because I want it to be a special moment,"
"How cute is that?" Heer sighs.
"All passengers traveling to Paris by flight AF440 please start boarding at gate C43" The announcer says.
The five girls get their belongings and walk towards the gate. Heer trails after the group and just turns back to readjust her carry on when she sees HIM, standing behind a pillar, staring right at her. Instinctively she raises her hand, but then is stunned when Zahra grabs her hand and drags her into the plane with them.
"You couldn't wait a second?" Heer mutters as she follows Zahra through the plane.
"Why should I wait? We're all supposed to board together," Zahra whispers back.
"I know that butโ" Heer groans.
"But what?" Zahra turns and asks.
"Never mind," Heer mumbles.
"Okay guys this row and this one has our numbers," Ravjot points to two on one side of the aisle and three on the other side.
Shifali gets into the one with three seats, followed by Maddy and Zahra, leaving Heer and Ravjot to sit together on the double seat.
"You seem kinda distracted," Ravjot mentions as they get settled in their seats. Heer continues looking out the window while shrugging. "Well if you want to talk, we ARE sitting next to each other for the next 7 hours," she grins at Heer who just smiles back.
Who was he? I just couldn't stop thinking about him. There was something in his eyes that told her he'd always be with her, but how could that be if I've never met him before today. Yet for some reason I was getting the feeling that I have seen him somewhere. Heer stayed lost in her thoughts while Zahra and Shifali were having an intense discussion over Heer.
"I don't know Zahroo, for some reason I get the feeling she just wants to torment us by not telling us," Shifali says.
"That's stupid though." Zahra adds. "If we're her friends we should know too,"
"Maybe we should just wait for her to feel comfortable?" Maddy spoke up from between them.
Shifali and Zahra both stop and look at her.
"That's a really good idea," Zahra looks at her and smiles.
"Course it is. Who came up with it?" Maddy pretends to pop her collar.
"I find it weird though," Zahra adds. "I've never seen Heer so lost in thought."
"I know which is why the only question is, when will she want to tell us." Shifali wonders out loud.
Yes super short, but I felt bad in making you all wait soooo long! ๐ So I've decided that I'll do weekly updates for this one! ๐ Every Sunday or Monday there will be an update ๐ Enjoy! ๐
Love you all loads,
