Narration by Maan

"I-I-I c-can't believe...! D-Did you...did you really call for the chopper...!" Geet exclaimed unsurely casting her brown hazels at me. "Kahin ye a-aapka koi dursa prank..." she looked sideways.

Smirking. I straightened myself from leaning against a wall & inched close to her.

"A chopper will come from there..."I whispered huskily, pointing horizontally up towards the sky & she looked in that direction, "It will land here & I will sweep you off your feet in it...!"

No sooner did I say that, than we saw the helicopter making it's way in our direction. The noise it produced could be clearly heard as it moved closer to the Haveli...Geet eyes opened wide & her lips parted in an 'O'.

"I hope this 'prank' is made believable now!" I smiled quirkily.

The helicopter finally landed on the terrace in front of us with a deafening noise. Viraj, the pilot's eyes almost popped out seeing me with a girl! I gave him a stern look which instantly lowered his eyes.

"I-I-I don't t-think...I w-want to sit in the chopper." She said while staring unsurely at the stylish rotorcraft in front of her.

I stepped in the chopper with alacrity & then stretched out my hand for her.

"We are gonna tour a quarter of the city! Don't miss this golden opportunity to fly with Maan Singh Khurana!"I said with pride.

She pensively stretched her hand, but I pulled my hand back.

"Only you are coming with me with me & nothing else!"

That startled her, "A-Aur kaun hai yahan par??? We need the pilot na! e-else who will fly the chopper?" asked she casting her innocent eyes on me.

"I am not talking about Viraj! Leave your tensions & worries on the terrace & come with me! I promise we will be back before everyone arrives!"

She readily gave her hand in mine & I escorted her inside. I sat next to her & we fastened our seat belts. She was clearly awestruck seeing the fineness of the interiors!

The rotor blades began rotating & the helicopter began to swiftly leave the ground...I could sense the ecstasy building in her & she unconsciously clasped my hand as we notched higher...

"Look! Look! Look!!"

She exclaimed excitedly as she gazed at the city below illuminated with yellow & orange lights making a very endearing sight to watch. The highways looked like narrow lanes bejeweled with street lights which appeared to form a necklace pattern & the vehicles looked like toys scurrying on them & the buildings looked like large blocks...

"Look here...& look there also..." " someone is really enjoying the chopper ride!" "it's so pretty...wowww!!" " No! It's not!" " Yes! It is!" "Maine kaha na nahi!!!!" "Maine kaha na haan!!!" "Geet!!!!" "T-Thik h-h-hai, it's not..." "see there's some party going on in that terrace" "Yeah! Coktail party!" "Really? Pata hai, I tried vodka once when I was in Delhi!" "What!!!!!" "H-H-Haan..." "I have tried everything!!!" "Achcha toh tell me, is vodka more powerful or scotch?" "Change the topic!!!" "See,that's the Rock Garden of Chandigarh!" "Nope..it's the Rose Garden" "Nahi Rock!!" "Rose!!" "Rock!!" "I think you will look angelic with a rose in hand rather than A rock!!!" "W-W-W-Woh... m-mein ...W-Woh.." "Aur kuch dikhana hai?" "Yes ! Yes! Yes!! Just see..."

While she still gushed & admired the wonderful bird's eye view that we were getting of the city at night, I took a deep breath acknowledging the presence of the exhilarating breeze gliding with us. The air ruffled my hair & played with hers. I sided some strands which were falling on her face... & saw her eyes twinkling like the stars & her face bright & happy as the moon...I felt amazing within me...not knowing why, I stared at her...

Next, the chopper flew over the outskirts of the city above the dense dark forests & the equally dense & deep sea...The air too became very chilled due to it...

I was startled when Geet fell back at me, hiding her face in the crook of my neck, clutching me firmly. She shivered...N-Now how am I supposed to react ...?

"W-What happened Geet? Are you feeling cold?"

"Ma-an" her voice was soft but shaky, "I-I-I had a very bad dream ki I am stuck alone i-i-in such a dark forest & sea...and...and...and..."

I could feel her scared eyes squeezing shut against my neck as her fingers clutched my shirt hard...I hesitantly wrapped my arm around her & looked beneath...The vast sea indeed looked frightening & the air was also turning a little rough...We reverted back to the city immediately...

"You can open your eyes!" I whispered.

Geet did so & saw the city again below us. She parted at once from me & some hesitant moments followed soon after... I broke the silence by pointing to our hotel below

"Look, there's our hotel, The Royal Palace!"

"I am so glad that after Delhi & Mumbai, it's here in my hometown Chandigarh now!"

Next we passed over a Gurdwara. Geet folded her hand & moved it up & down in quick succession, "Babaji..!" I smiled in awe.

And finally the 'thing' which surprisingly caught my eyes instead of Geet! As we were nearing back to the Haveli, I spotted a girl & a boy romancing on the terrace of a building...! I directed Geet's attention there!

"Lagta hai, they are about to kiss! Tumhe...dekhna hai kya???" I asked her impishly.

"Hwww!!!! Y-Yeh aap kya keh rahe hain!!!???" she flushed.

"I guess..." I strained my eyes to look at the couple closely, "I think the girl is holding a red rose!"

"Hmm.."

"You were right!!Red roses are indeed to propose a girl!!" I smiled mischievously

"Hai na??? Toh aapne bhi woh red rose mujhe--- "

She stalled abruptly looking away from me. I smirked seeing her cheeks flush!

"Maine woh red rose tumhe kya Geet?" I asked with a glint in my eyes.

"K-K-K-Kuch...n-nahi...!" "No No ! Tell me!!" "Nooo!" "But I really want to hear !!" "Kuch b-bhi toh nahi!" "No, you must complete your sentence!" "No..!!" "Yes" "No" "Yes" "No" "No?" "Yes!" "Yes? Then tell me!!" "Hwww! I don't want to talk to you!" "Not Done Geet...!..."
