Prologue

Jeevika stepped out of her car, wearing a pink knee lenght dress paired with grey wedges. She pulled out her suitcase from the car's trunk, gave a final check in her grey bag for all the required documents.

She instructed the driver to leave and stood by the airport door waiting eagerly for someone. Her eyes scanned the place looking for that one most important person in her life.

As she stood waiting, memories of their past flooded her mind instantly lightening up her face with a brilliant smile. Since childhood they had fought together, ate together, laughed together, shared their happiness and their sorrows. They had been always been together. But now it was time to bid farewell to all and start a new journey.

"Where are you? You can't be late today! " Jeevika huffed, as she glanced at her watch a tousandth time. It was getting late and Jeevika had to hurry but but she couldn't leave without saying a final good-bye.

The expression on Jeevika's face was becoming grave as the clock's needle continued running. Jeevika searched her bag and pulled out her cell-phone and pressed the screen as she dialled a number.

"Jeevika."

Everything around her seemed to come to a standstill. Jeevika turned around to see a panting Manvi making her way amidst the thong of people who had were busy waving their relatives good-bye.

Jeevika ran and engulfed her in a tight hug. Tears rolling down their eyes. Their grip on each other becoming stronger. If they had the option they would never let each other go. The two finally pulled apart when they heard the final announcement for Jeevika's flight.

"OMG Jeevika this is your flight right? I am so sorry I am late. Thank you for waiting for me."

"How could I go without meeting you?"

Manvi wiped her face off the tears and after a quick conversation both of them hugged each other.

Jeevika walked towards the entrance leaving a weeping Manvi behind.

She waved good bye to Manvi and turned to enter the door when she bumped into someone.

"I am sorry."

"No problem, sweetheart!"

Jeevika eyes shot up at this comment at the man standing in front of her.

Her eyes scanned him from bottom to top. Black Nike joggers, black pants, a Gucci leather belt with a silver buckle, a loose white shirt paired, a fair face lit up with a smile and eyes covered by Ray-Ban shades.

Jeevika came back from her thoughts when a "Checking me out?" Shot her way. Jeevika blinked a couple of times trying to find a reply, having been caught in such an embarassing moment.

"Of course not. Now please get of my way I am already late," saying this she made her way to the immigration counter.
