Air Hostess: Hello Mr. Raizada, (placing the newspaper tray infront of him')
Aranv smiled and took some business papers from the tray'he opened it ans saw his picture on the first part of Times Today'he was one of the potential candidate for the young achievers of India along with few other who actually were not in is league'he smiled and turned the page to read other things'
He was seated in the eile seat of the business class and was traveling to UK for a deal. Arnav has always been a very responsible child since childhood. His mom and dad long back and was left with his elder sister Anjali Jha.
Anjali was like a mother to him. And he loves his di a lot.
----------------
The Air Hostess glanced the person who was seated beside him and saw her sleeping putting the eye cover so she did not bother to disturb her.
Arnav glanced at the neibouring passenger and rolled his eyes and concentrated in his newspaper'after sometime he again saw her and wondered how on the earth can someone sleep with the loud musicing practically banging his head off through her ear plug.
Unbelievable he could just utter.
-----------------
It was almost 2 hours the flight took off from the Mumbai airport.
Arnav completed his reading and headed towards the bathroom. He once again glanced at the girl sitting next to him'the loud music still playing but she was sound sleep'Lakta Hai pichle janam mein Kumbhkaram thi (I think she was a kumbhakaram, a mythology character who was cursed with 6 months of sleep)'with that he smiled and made his way to the bathroom.
-----------------
After 5 mins he came to his seat and found that next seat empty'her Ipod and the ear plug was scattered randomly on her seat'her hair band resting on the ground and her quilt half on her seat and half on his seat and some pillows on his seat.
He was amazed to see that'how can someone be so untidy and careless he thought. He was looking at the pillows and the quilt when someone said'
Excuse me please'if you have stopped looking that the seat can you please move a side so that I can get into my seat?
Arnav turned back and saw a beautiful young girl standing right beside him'long hair till her thin waistline'tall, fair, lovely eyes'tucking her locks behind her ear'wearing a slim fit jeans and a simple white top without any make up but only lip gloss
She waved her hand infront of him'Excuse me again Sir, if you have finished with your gazing can I please get in?
Arnav came to his sense and jerked his head, he couldn't utter a single word, his brain stopped working for sometime seeing her beauty.
She totally lost her patience now'she held his arms and moved him from her way, took the pillows and the quilt from his seat and sat on her seat.
Ouch!
Arnav couldnot help but to smile at her.
She instantly looked at him smiling'she frowned'and took out the ipod on which she sat.
Arnav pulled his lips in to stop reacting to that and sat on his seat.
Well I am sorry Sir'
Arnav looked at her'excuse me?
Khushi, my name is Khushi'and I am sorry for the mess on your seat'I am a little nausiac while traveling on an aeroplane'I was not able to find the vomiting pouch so I rushed to the bathroom'I threw everything around and went'I am really sorry'I know I must be so yucky to find other person's stuffs on your seat'once even I have to face such a thing'a fatso kept his stuffs on my seat and I just blew his off'she giggled remembering that incident'I am really sorry.
Arnav: Its ok, he smiled'jerked his head'
Khushi placed her hand on his shoulder'I am really sorry and I mean it.
Arnav looked at her palm and said that's why, I understand.
Khushi: Oh thank you so much'you are so sweet'I was freaking out while coming here looking at your expressions from a distant'you looked angry'so I got a little defensive'and said those things sarcastically'I am sorry for that ASR'
Arnav was taken a back for a while'
Arnav: How do you know my name? he asked frowning.
Khushi: Well, who doesnot know you? You have been recently nominated for the young entrepreneur for the next year if I am not mistaken'and also for being the MD of the best brand of India'
Arnav smiled
Khushi: Where are you going?
Arnav looked at her'(unbelievable he thought once again) well I think the plane is going to UK'
Khushi: I know that'but that doesnot necessary be your final destination'you know what I mean.
Arnav: Oh'well it is my final destination'
Khushi: Work? Leisure?
Arnav opened the newspaper again and started reading it'Work he said.
Khushi: Hmm'I am going to meet my friend over their'7days holiday she smiled.
Arnav did not answer anything'
Khushi: What would you like to eat? Veg or non-veg?
Arnav folded the newspaper and looked at her with amazed eyes.
Khushi chuckled'well the lady standing beside you was about to ask you so I asked you'
Arnav saw the airhostess standing beside her and then looked at khushi once again and said Non-veg.
Khushi: Well honey then two non-veg platter for both of us and some fruits for me'you would like to have some fruits'Sir?
Arnav again looked at her'(is she a little cracked he thought?)'No thanks'he smiled
Khushi: Some juice?
Arnav: No'
Khushi: Tea?
Arnav: An extra bottle of water would be fine'(god she was good while sleeping'itna bak bak kaise koi kar sakta hai? How can someone talk so much?)
Airhostess: Here you go ma'am'here you go sir.
Khushi clapped: Wow, good that I didn't see the menu before'I love surprises aur who bhi pleasant one'she talked to herself'
Khushi: Muah! She blowed a kiss towards the food.
Arnav was surprise to see someone behaving like this'he glanced other passengers to find whether anybody is looking at him or not.
Khushi: Well ASR'you don't need to be so conscious'I am not your girlfried she giggled.
Arnav rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
Khushi moaned while putting the roasted chicken in her mouth'Lovely'you know I am so in love with flight foods'its yummy and the funniest part I tend to eat more in flights'Am I disturbing you?
Arnav keeping the spoon on his plate looking at her once again said NO you aren't'but I was just wondering how can someone talk so much even while eating?
Khushi: Well mom says I talk during my sleep as well'she giggled'my sleeping habits are bad you know'my mom always scolds me'she says I will get a good hammering from my husband if I continue to sleep like that'
Arnav practically choked hearing the word hammering'
Khushi offered her glass of water to him without looking at him'
Arnav saw khushi doing that'
Khushi: Sorry, the word slipped'there is nothing to over react like this'
Arnav: You are unbelievable Khushboo'
Khushi: Khushi'not Khushboo'Its means happy not perfume'
Arnav: Whatever
Khushi: Its Khushi and whatever'am I would prefer you calling me by my right name'she smiled'
Khushi: You know I hate people who doesnot pronounce the names correctly even while noting down also they don't ask spellings'it irriks me a lot'imagine if someone writes or calls you as arnob instead of Arnav how would you feel?
Arnav made a disgusting face'.PLEASE!!!
Khushi: See that's how I could have reacted when you said khushboo'
Arnav: hmm'I see'so it looks like you are very possessive about your name'
Khushi: One should be'its your identity right? And I am really proud of my name'
Arnav: Ya I can make out.
Khushi chocked this time'while arnav held his glass of water infront of her'she looked at him'
Arnav: It wasnot my mistake but still don't over react with that word'he smirked.
