Dehli to Bagdogra… it took about 1 hr 45 minutes.. the plane was about to descend and as such it has decreased its height making the surroundings visible through the glass pane..

Humare saath bane rehne ke liye shukriya. Ummid hai aapki yeh yatra sukhat bhari huyi hai. Aab se kuch hi minto mein hum Bagdogra land karne wale hai. Bahar ka mausam achha hai aur barish ki koi sambhavana nahi. Tapmaan 09 degrees hai. Apne khidki se Kanchendzonga peak ki behtareen drishya ka maza uthaiye. Kaptan sahab k nirdesh anusar apni kursi ki peti baandhe rahiye aur kripya apna mobile off rakhe. Humare airlines ko chunne k liye shukriya.

The announcement breaks the love birds little nap. Rubbing her eyes Naina asks Sir hum pauch gaaye?

Ha… is Airlines k captain k anusaar to hum abhi bagdogra k aasman par hai.. aur tum apne personal captain k baaho me apne neend puri karke abhi abhi uthi ho…. He winks…though his eyes still drowsy..

Sir.. aap din ba din badmaash hote jaa rahe ho… she frowns..  ab dekhte hai baahar kaunsa dilkash nazara hain…. Yeh bol to aisi rahe hain k maano khidki kholo aur Kanchendzonga ko haat se chhu lo..… blabbering she uplifted the window shield just to see this beautiful sight…..

Sirrrrrrr…….sach me Kanchendzonga dikh raha hai… sirrr… look.. its soo beautiful…. Sir dekhiye naa….she kinda started hopping out of excitement.. keeping an eye at the beautiful scene outside she wanted to call Rajveer by hands… and instead of poking his hands, she pokes his eyes!

Auchhhhh…. Naina kya kar rahi ho?? Mujhe andha banana hai kya? His words make naina turn to him to realize the blunder she has done just now..

Oh.. im sooo sorry sir… I really am.. mai to aapko bulane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Pata naji kab galti se haath aapke aankho tak pauch gayi.. guilt prominent in her voice.. afterall she can never think to hurt him.. sir.. please mujhe maaf kar dijiye.. please.. aap… aiye.. aiye.. mi dekhti hoon aankhe aapki.. and instead of waiting for his reply she pulled his face closer and started caressing his poked eye, blowing mild wind at times to soothe his pain..

Rajveer thoroughly enjoys her attention.. for the first time naina is doing this to him.. after marriage.. And watching nainas face so close to him gave him another adrenaline rush!

Naina… kanchendzonga se bhi haseen nazara aab mujhe dekhne ko mil raha hai.. he says his intention clear.. his voice made naina aware of the position and she immediately pulls herself back blushing..

kya hua naina? Mujhe itni haseen nazare se kyu dur kia? Kya galti hai meri? He asks.. rather he flirts..

aap na.. aap bohat badmash ho.. aur aab aapka aankho ka dard kya hua?she tries to avoid answering.

Ek pari aake chhu k gai mujhe.. aur meri dard dur ho gayi.. he says lovingly..

Amidst all these, the fight landed and gradually they came out..  no sooner they touched the groud, cold breeze hits them making them shiver to the core.

Sir… yaha to bohat thand hai.. jaldi bus mein chadhiye.. mujhe shivering ho rahi hai.. immediate shopping me jaana padega sweaters k liye.

Haa.. naina jayenge.. pehle hotel tak to jaaye.. he smiles looking at his kiddo wife..

Collecting the luggage they were about to exit the airport gate when they were stopped by a guard..

Sir… luggage check…..

Haw!! hum yaha par aaye hai..yaha se jaa nahi rahe hai k aap luggage check k bare mein pooch rahe hai..exclaims naina.

I know maam.. but for security purpose you need to cooperate with us maam..the guard replied in a sober manner..

Oh! How can I forget? Exclaims Rajveer now.. naina side jaao.. exit se pehle yahapar luggage check hota hai.. yahaka rule hai yeh..saying this he lifted the trolley on the x ray enabled checking conveyer belt. Then holding nainas hand he walked to the other side to collect the luggage.

Yeh kaisa ajeb rule hai sir? Naina asked curiously..

Naina this airport belongs to the defence.. airforce ka hai yeh.. ek part mein commercial use hota hai. So security yahapar bohat zyada hai.. and humlog abhi aisa jagah par hai jahase three International borders bohat nasdig hai. To prevent smuggling yahapar security bohat tight hai. He explains..

Aapko itna kaise pata? Aap aaye ho yaha pehle? Asks naina.

Ha naina.. yahapar sukna military base mein mai raha hoon 6 months before I was transferred to tawang.. naveen bhi than a mere saath yaha..he says as he lifts the huge fat trolley down..

Sir…..kya hum abhi siliguri mein hain? She asks out of surprise..

Rajveer smiles….. haa naina.. hum siliguri mein hain.. tumne kaise guess kia?

Yieppe……she exclaimed and started jumping clapping her hands.. sir aapko pata hai bhaiyya se is jagah k bare mein kitna suna hai maine?

Looking at his happy curious kid rajveer couldn’t help but smile. The smile of happiness..

Pata nahi maine shadi ki hai ki baccha god liya hai.. yeh to baat baat pe uchhalne lagthi hai..he thinks ..

Ha naina.. mujhe pata hai.. aab chalo.. hotel jaan hai ki nahi? He pulls naina out of the airport to the taxi stand..

Bhaiyya Hotel Saffron Crest challenge?? He asks one driver.

Jee sir.. baithiye.. the driver replied putting the meter in the on mode.

Nainas blabbering started the moment they settled in the taxi, and the taxi started running. Sir…… mujhe na Bhutia market jaana hai shopping k liye.. aur hong kong matket bhi.. yahapar bohat achha Chinese food milta hai.. dinner mein mai to bus taipoo khaungi.. sir.. aur sir, hum WB mein hai to Mishti Doi aur roshogolla bhi…

Naina tumhe yeh bhutiya market aur hongkong market k bare mein kaise pata chala? Asks Rajveer surprised about her knowledge over this place where she had never been.. instead of giving her surprises its his turn to be surprised.

Sir… bhaiyya se sune hai.. bhaiyya ley jaate the mere liye yaha se woolens… bohat trendy hai sir.. aur hongkong market me bhi saman bohat achha milta hai… sir aap mujhe ley chlenge na? she asks making puppy face.

Ha.. woolens to aaj hi kharidna padega. Aur baaki shopping wapis aate waqyt agar waqt mila toh.. says Rajveer..

Okay.. lekin raat mein mujhe taipoo chahye haa… she says..

Pakka… smiles rajveer..

It took about 45 minutes for them to reach the hotel.. after checking in again, they reached their suite finlly…..

Sirrrrrrr…….. yaha se bahar dekhiye…. Kitna achha lag raha hai…. Said naina out of happiness again looking out of the huge glass window....

Rajveer came closer to see…. Haa naina.. bohat acha hai.. he said…

Out of nowhere  Rajveers eyes fell on the farthest corner of the sky.. Dark nimbus clouds accumulated over there.. and this made Rajveer feel uncomfortable as Alis voice suddenly kept ringing in his ears    “…….Sir wahapar achanak barish hone lagthi hai aur phir sab harkatein……….”

A cold shiver ran down his spine…..yaha aa to gaye.. ab sab kuch theek toh hoga na?? he thinks as he clearly remembers Alis each words now.. and to his utter surprise he is feeling uneasy..

Nai… yeh mai kya soch raha hoon? Aisa kuch nahi hota… he assured himself again…

Naina jaao.. tum fresh ho jao.. phir lunch karke hum log niklenge shopping k liye.. he tried to distract himself out of all weired thoughts..

With the motive to pull the curtains, he looked one last time towards the sky…. The dark nimbus clouds have spread further engulfing the entire city into darkness!!
