Promise...
She whispered to Leela, "No not yellow blouse, the orange color with silver line?"
"OH WITH STRIPES? I LOVE THIS ONE"
"Its there?"
"Can I keep it?"
"Sure" Trisha nodded amused
"Raat ko balcony mein kya kar rahe ho beta, u are letting the mosquitoes in" Mandira hollered
"Ma Tri forgot the orange blouse"
"LEELAAA" Trisha groaned quickly hanging up
Ashvin stretched by her handing her a coffee
"Here"
"Who were u talking to?"
"Leela, U know the silver skirt have there is the orange blouse?"
He looked confused
"I left it in the balcony"
"shud we go get it?" he chuckled
She smacked him
"I asked Leela, and she said so LOU--DD-LEE" Trisha's expression indicated shock
"She is silly" he mumbled checking his phone
"ASHWINN" she nudged him
"Hmm" he scrolled on his phone without looking at her
"Ashwinnn"
"Hmmm"
"Ashwinnn"
"Hmmm"
"OK u wont talk?"
He grinned looking up
"I thot I was" he smiled
"U know what happened?"
"My Mom knows u forgot something?" he asked mock seriously
"ha-haa its not like that, Leela and I were looking at her photos she said Trisha go, Trisha go and I didnt listen" she mumbled
"Now she knows"
"Ashwinnn"
"U are going to be fine"
"U tell her I didnt forget"
"even though u asked Leela to look?"
"Ummm" "ashwinnn"
agent announced the flight
"OK its time to line up for the boarding"
She followed him as he dragged her arm, texting Lissie and Mrudula
They both promised to go see Aanu and send her pictures
They sent her dirty konkani humor
she shook as she walked
Walking past him towards Economy
"Trish... here" he pulled her on her wrist
"Here?" she asked looking up from her phone
"Well its not first class" he said sitting by the window
"I want window" she said
He got up with a one sided smile
Picked up her backpack and stowed it away as the cabin crew watched
"I got it" he reassured them
She sat and stared out
"I can stretch fully" she told him
He helped her recline and sit up multiple times
"U will also sleep?" she offered to push his buttons
He laughed hysterically
"U just want to play with the buttons?"
"Not like that" she said haughtily looking out the window
He refused wine, and took water, she took a juice
"What all u want to see?" she asked looking up Thailand
"Umm.. I dont know" he his eyes twinkled
"because u have seen before?"
"Umm.. no not this island.."
"then?"
"I am guessing we will just be wading in the pool or playing in the ocean"
"All day how can we?"
"We will find stuff to do" he said leaned and kissed her cheek
ashwinnn" she whispered reminding him they were still boarding
"Yes? no? OK?"
"all the time three questions?"
Lets just stick with one question.. Yes?" he smiled mischievously
That strange fluttering that occured when he spoke like happened again for her, in the pit of her stomach
She crossed her nervous trembling arms and bit her lower lip to calm herself
"Are u afraid?" he asked in her ear
She nodded
"Dont be" he reassured
And texted on his phone... she looked out the window as the aircraft pushed back
Her phone beeped
"when we get there we are going to kiss for a very long time!!" her phone flashed
Tum Se Tum Tak
