Karan was annoyed and suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing his arm.

He was about to shout on that person but saw a girl who was completely scared murmuring something inaudible with her eyes closed.

Karan just froze for a second. Preeta slowly opened her eyes and looked at Karan who was staring her.

Karan never knew that such innocent eyes exist. A pair of eyes that held only peace, happiness and composure.

Preeta removed her hand from his.

Preeta(innocently) : I am sorry...

Karan(angry) : What sorry.. Haa.. Jab itna hi darr lgta h toh flights mein travel hi kyu krte h tum jaise log..

Preeta bowed her head. He felt guilty but didn't show.

He turned his face.

Preeta : Actually meri galti h... I am really sorry.. Aap gussa mt kijiye...

Karan just nodded.

Preeta gulped and tried to calm her down. She put on her earphones and tried to ignore the flight feeling but wasn't able to.

Karan looked at her and then tried to sleep but a child started wailing loudly making him more annoyed.

Preeta: Aapko neend aa rhi h...

Karan(irritated) : Ha... Par kuch logo ki wajah se so nhi paa rha hu... God.. Logo ko bache sambhalne bhi nhi aate h...

Preeta: Uski mom koshish kr rhi h...

Karan: Par ache se nhi...

Preeta looked at him for a second. He thought she will answer him back.

Preeta: Dekhiye.. Chup ho gya..

Karan (closing his eyes) : Thank God.. Shayad ab main so pao..

Preeta(forwarding her hand) : I am Preeta... Nice to meet u..

Karan made faces.

Karan: Are u serious? Iss meeting mein kya nice h... Maine tum par itna chillaya.. Itna rudely baat kii.. Aur tum ab bhi mujhe apna intro de rhi ho... Are u nuts?

Preeta(smilingly) : Aap iss waqt thode pareshan h.. Par dil ke bure nhi..

Karan(angry) : Oh God.. Kis level ki bevkof ho tum.. 5 min mein tumhe kya pta chl gya kii main dil ka bura nhi hu...

Preeta: Aap shaant ho jayiye.. Aapko neend aa rhi thi na so jayiye..

Karan : Dekho miss shanti ki dukaan.. Yeh aap ka raag alapna karo band.. Kahi ke raja maharaja nhi h hum dono kii ek dusre se aise baat krege.. Moreover main tumse baat hi kyu kr rha hu... You are so..

Preeta: So...

Karan(angry) : Idiotic...

Preeta turned her face away, she looked out of the window and her fear came back.

Tears made their way out of her eyes. Karan looked at her guilty.

Karan: I am sorry.. Okay.. Mera vo mtlb nhi tha..

Preeta(wiping her tears) : Its okay... Mujhe actually flights se bahut jyada darr lgta h... Yeh meri first flight h...

Karan: Utho..

Preeta: Kya..

Karan: Maine kaha utho.. Tum meri seat pr baith jao.. Main window seat pr baith jaata hu.. Tumhe kam darr lgega..

Preeta smiled. Karan smiled back.

Preeta: Thank u so much...

They exchanged their seats.

Karan: Agar tumhe itna hi darr lgta h toh tum 12 ghante kse rahogi..

Preeta: Actually.. Pta nhi... Josh josh mein faisla toh le liya par ab jaan nikal rhi h... Aap ko bhi maine kha m kha pareshan kr diya...

Karan: Phir se aap... Itni tehjeeb... Hum normal logo ki tarah bhi toh baat kr skte h na... I am Karan...

Preeta: And I am not miss shanti ki dukaan... I am Preeta..

Karan laughed. She smiled.

Preeta: Ab tum so jao.. Tumhe neend aa rhi thi na...

Karan: Are u sure? Tum manage krlogi...Mujhe toh nhi lgta kii tum so paogi..

Preeta: Ya ya.. I will manage.. Tum kyu apni neend kharab kr rhe ho.. So jao...

Karan put his hand on headrest.

Karan: Lo..

Preeta(confused) : Kya..

Karan: Thode naakhone ke scratches kam lg rhe h... Thode aur bana do pls..

Preeta glared him.

Karan(laughing) : Okay sorry.. Ghuro mt.. Haath pakad lo..

Preeta: Tum sure ho? Already bahut pareshan kr diya h maine tumhe..

Karan: Koi baat nhi...

Preeta smiled and held his hand.

She started watching a movie while Karan tried to sleep.

Preeta(in mind) : Bas kuch hi ghanto ki baat h... Tu yeh kr skti h Preeta.. Mayank ke liye..

Karan kept his head on her shoulder and slept.

Preeta looked at him. She thought to push him away a bit but saw his face.

Preeta(in mind) : Karan toh so gya.. Sone deti hu.. Vse hi bahut pareshan tha.. Koi baat nhi..

She smiled.

Preeta(smilingly) : Sweet dreams..
