Haha, your wish will be granted my child. Next update coming in a few minutes :)

Chapter 11:

"Flight AT231 to Switzerland is now boarding. Please proceed to the gate if you are in Business class or First class. "

Hearing this announcement, quickly stood up, picking up his wheeled duffel bag and making his way towards the gate. After walking about 4 steps though, he turned to look back, just to check on Geet of course, and was surprised to see her standing there, hands crossed one over each other, as she tapped her foot incessently.

"Madam, chalein? Or are you just planning on sitting here in this waiting lounge until the honeymoon is over?" he asked, rolling his eyes.

"Mr. Khurana. You forgot to take my bag with you," she answered back promptly, pointing to the bright red duffel bag that was sitting right next to her.

"What? Are you incapable of carrying your own luggage woman? There's no way I'm carrying THAT for you. It weighs about 700 tons. God only knows what Kripa and Riddhima even packed in there," he refused outright, not even hesitating for a whole second.

A pout appeared on her face, as she looked at him with the puppy dog eyes. Her hand immediately went to her stomach. " But Maaan, I'm pregnant. I mean pregnant women aren't supposed to carry too much weight to begin with, you know that, right? And this is just some carry on luggage."

Maan sighed. Damnit! He had forgotten that the woman was pregnant. "But if it's JUST some carry on luggage, you should be able to pull it too, right?" he asked back, really not wanting to help his pregnant lady out.

"Excuse me, Madam? Is he troubling you? I'll help you with your luggage" stepped in a young man, actually a handsome hunk, green eyes, jet black hair, a Colgate smile. Oh yes, this man was to die for.

Geet looked over at Maan, whose face suddenly went from annoyed to angry. His finger were curling up into a fist. Good! Let the man get angry. She turned back to the handsome hunk, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously as she shot him a smile and responded, "Why that would be so kind of you. Thank you so much. Perfect men like you are so difficult to find nowadays."

"It would be my pleasure Ma'am." The man responded, as he picked up her luggage with one hand and held out his hand for her to hold. "By the way, I'm Rahul, Rahul Garewal" he introduced himself.

Geet batted her eyelashes once again, seemingly overwhelmed by getting this man's attention. " I'm Geet-" she began, only to be cut off by someone else.

Maan quickly grabbed hold of her hand, and interfered. " Geet Khurana. Mrs. Geet Khurana. My wife." He shot an icy cold glare at Rahul as he reached out to take Geet's bags from his hands. "I can take it from here."

Rahul quickly backed off. Damn! This man was a #@$#$@# when it came to his wife. So possessive! Quickly flashing another grin at Geet, he took off towards the gate to board the flight.

Meanwhile, Geet was left standing there with Maan whose grip on her just seemed to be tightening by the minute. " Oy! What was your problem with Rahul helping me? He was so nice and he actually volunteered to carry my bag inside."

"Because....because.. it was HIM. I didn't like the way he was looking at you, ok?" he answered back, now dragging her through the airport towards their gate.

"YOU didn't like the way HE was looking at you? What does it mean to you anyways? Huh? You were free to go inside without even having to carry my bags. Why do you have a problem with everything? Everything? Damnit, answer me!"

"Shut up Geet. You are my wife, a married woman. I will not tolerate you going all fida over any man? You get it?" By then, they had reached the front of the line, and Maan had to hand over their passports and tickets so they board the flight.

"All set to go Sir, Ma'am. Have a nice flight!" the lady smiled at them and Maan once again grabbed hold of Geet's hand, their two carry on luggages and headed inside.

"Na na na na. Have a good flight! Kya bakwaas. I'm going with the world's biggest MCP, Khadoos, Dusht Danav, and I'm supposed to have good flight. Jerk." she muttered under her breath, fuming at the way he had just taken over the situation and not let her say a word in between. A complete jerk. That's what he was! He wouldn't even carry her luggage when she told him the baby might get hurt from carrying heavy things, but the minute another man steps in, oh he has to come and rescuse his WIFE. Such typical MCP attitude! Uff!

" Can you stop muttering under your breath and start walking? You're holding up the entire line!" Maan growled in her ear, slightly pushing her forward after she was just standing there lost in her thoughts.

The two of them quickly settled in their seats, Maan at the window seat and Geet in the aisle. Maan quickly fastened his seatbelt and took out a book to begin reading. Geet on the other hand, immediately dropped the little handrest between the two of them, separating themselves as much as possible, and THEn fastened her seatbelt, and closed her eyes, folded her arms, and began praying.

"We are now ready for take-off. Please remain seated until the seat belt signs above you have been turned off once we are in flight."

Maan was too engrossed in his book to notice anything going on around him, let alone the fact that the flight was actually moving. However, Geet started panicking as soon as the engines began roaring.

"Oy Babaji. Please please let me stay alive. No hijacking, no terrorists, no plane crash no emergency landing. I need to stay alive for my baccha. I don't want to die so soon. I can't die so soon. I'm only 24. I'm too young to die. I even married Mr. Khadoos here for my little baby. If I die, then I wouldn't have even had to suffer through my marriage to him. You can't possibly kill me now. Please God. Oh please Babaji" Geet continued praying, her eyes closed, her hands folded in front of her.

"Shhh. Geet, stop being so loud. We'll be fine. We're flying in a plane, not bungee jumping off of a cliff." Maan put his book aside, and reached over, pulling up the handrest that was separating them, and then placing one of his arms around her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. Seeing that she was still frightened, he continued. "It'll be fine. We'll be airborne before you know it" he whispered calmly, running his hand up and down her shoulder as he tried to calm the extremely frightened and nervous wreck of a woman next to him. Who would have thought, that the wife of the man who was on business trips ALL the time would be dead scared of flying?

Geet instantly calmed down, as she turned to bury her head in his chest, grabbing his shirt in her fists, and Maan's other arm instinctively went around her, wrapping around her like a security blanket.

"Are you..are you sure we'll be ok? We won't die?" she whimpered, her voice tiny and shaking nervously.

He placed a soft kiss in her hair, and pulled her closer towards himself, " Geet, you're the sherni, the one that's not scared of anything, not even putting chili powder in her husband's halwa? And you're scared of flying? We're already up in the air and the seatbelt light has been turned off" he whispered, his voice slightly teasing but still having an extremely soothing effect on her.

And she let go of his shirt immediately and pulled out of his arms, quickly unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out of the seat. Just as she headed off, though, she felt a pull on her arm, and turned around to see Maan looking at her, his face etched with worry. " Geet, are you sure you're all right?" he asked, a soft smile on his face.

And she smiled in response, she couldn't help it! He actually seemed to care and be so worried about her! " I'm...I'm fine. Thank you" she responded, her smile growing wider, as she just got lost in his eyes, the eyes of the man who she realized wasn't that bad actually! Maybe they could deal with each other after all!

" Ehem, Cough Cough. Ma'am? Sir? Are you ok?" This voice disturbed the two out of their thoughts very quickly, as Maan quickly let go of her hand and resettled himself into the seat. Geet ran off towards the bathroom, not even turning to look back even once. While the air hostess was just left standing there, confused, as to what just happened!

Geet shut the door to the tiny bathroom flight behind her and looked at herself in the mirror. What had she just done?! Hugged her husband?! Was her heart actually softening towards Mr. Khadoos. Wait, he apparently wasn't as khadoos as she even thought initially. She splashed some water on her face shaking her head to get all those confused thoughts out of her.

" Geet, he's still the same Mr. Khadoos. Just because he was nice once doesn't mean anything. Anything at all"

Meanwhile, Maan was left in his seat, in which he had now leaned backwards as much as physically possible, closing his eyes, as he rubbed his temple with his fingers. Why had he suddenly wanted to be nice to her? She was the one that got them into this situation anyways. And it was because of HER stupidity, well along with his brothers, that even got the two of them married to begin with. And now he was sitting here WANTING to comfort her? But she felt so good in his arms! And the way she was worrying about her baby was so sweet. And even in the airport! Why had he not wanted to see her with another man. His reasons to her sounded stupid even to himself. And at that stage, she WAS right in calling him an MCP. Uff! What's going on?!

" I need to sleep, and hopefully my mind won't be as boggled and I can go back to my old self. What does she call it again? Oh yes, Mr. Khadoos. That is what I'm going to become once again after I wake up." And with those thoughts, Maan drifted off to sleep, unaware completely of what was to happen once they stepped down together in Switzerland.

Next Stop: Switzerland!
