Their flight landed. They were 4 hours away from Switzerland but due to the heacy thunderstorm, all the flights were delayed.

Preeta took a deep breath as soon as she felt the ground beneath her foot.

Karan: So, finally u did it...Now good bye... Ab hamare raaste alag hote h...

Preeta(smilingly) : Thank u.. Tumne meri bahut madad kii.. Shayad tumhare bina main yeh safar nhi kr paati...

Karan : Ek baat bolu babydoll... Confidence khud mein hota h... Agar tum hi khud ko kamzor smjhongi toh kbhi kuch nhi kr paogi.. Yeh sb tumne khud kiya h... Main bas tumhare saath tha....

Preeta smiled.

Karan: Vse main kisi ko bolta nhi.. Par I hope hum dobara kabhi mile...

Preeta: I hope so too...

Both smiled at each other and moved in different directions.

Preeta and Karan went to their rooms and slept because of flight tiredness.

Preeta woke up finally feeling fresh. Karan helped her to take a nap in  the flight but still, it wasn't enough. Now, she finally felt better. She took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes.

Preeta: Parso valentines day h.. Mujhe mayank ke paas jaana h...Reception par puchti hu..

She went to reception.

Preeta: Kya yaha se koi bus ya train.. Koi aur transport available h.. I need to get out of this place...

Receptionist : Yaha se buses jaati h.. Bus stop kuch hi dur h...

Preeta smiled widely.

Preeta : Okay thank u...

Receptionist : Mam aap room se check out kr rhi h...

Preeta(handing her keys) : Yes.. Thank u...

She ran out of the hotel. She was so happy that she can finally reach to Mayank.

She collided and about to fall but Karan held her through waist.

Karan(without looking) : Hey.. Aaram se..

Preeta: Tum...

Karan(shocked) : Tum... Tum phir mujhi se takra gyi...

He placed Preeta back on her feet and bent down to pick up some papers. Preeta also bent to help him.

Preeta : I am sorry... Meri wajah se phir se...

Karan: Tum yeh rajdhani express ki speed mein kaha jaa rhi thi... Aur main hi mila tha kya takraane ke liye...

Preeta: I am sorry... Vo main thodi jaldi mein thi...

Both stood up.

Preeta(looking at papers) : Yeh toh maps h... Map ka kya kroge..

Karan: Map direction dekhne ke hi liye hote h I guess...

Preeta: Par... Phone mein app nhi h kya tumhare...

Karan (shocked) : U are seriously nuts... Tumne apna phone bhi check nhi kiya kya...

Preeta shrugged her shoulders.

Preeta: Nhi toh...

Karan: Thanks to the thunderstorm.. Yaha koi network nhi h...

Preeta :Oh.. Haa... Thunderstorm..

Karan : Apni family ko inform kr dena... Pareshan ho rhi hogi...

Preeta(smilingly) : Ya sure...

She remembered about the bus.

Preeta: Bus.. Okay.. Karan.. Bye.. Mujhe jaana h...

Karan: Ha jao.. Par vaapis mujhse mt takrana... Aur aaram se jao.. Gir jaogi..

Preeta: Ha.. Thank u...

She ran out. Karan sighed.

Karan: Pagal ldki h yeh bhi...

Preeta was waiting for bus but there was no sign of it. Two hours became three and then four. Sighing, she went back to the hotel.

Preeta: What do u mean? Kii mera room kisi ko dediya...

Receptionist: Mam aapne check out krliya tha... And bahut saari flights yaha divert hui h... So, we are having high time managing...

Preeta : But ab main kya karu... U told me about bus.. Maine itna wait kiya.. Par there was no one there...

Receptionist: Quite possible mam.. Vo buses regular nhi h...

Preeta: Aur yeh aap mujhe ab bata rhi h...

Receptionist : We are so sorry mam...

Preeta sat on the lobby's chair waiting for a vacancy but nothing was happening how she wanted.

Karan who was passing through the corridor saw her.

Karan : Hey.. Babydoll.. Gayi nhi tum..

Preeta: Pehle toh mujhe babydoll mt bolo aur dusra aaj ka din hi kharab h...

Karan(sitting beside her) : Aisa bhi kya hogya... Itna mood kharab.. Saari tehzib hawa mein ud gyi...

Preeta (cry baby) : In logo ne mujhe bus ke baare mein bola.. Toh mne room se checkout krliya.. Ab bus bhi nhi mili aur room bhi kisi aur ko dediya...

Karan: Toh tum ab yaha puri raat itni thand mein.. Lobby mein bitaane ki soch rhi ho...

Preeta: Aur koi option hi nhi h...

Karan: Tum mera room lelo... We can share a room...

Preeta widened her eyes.

Karan: Aise mt dekho.. Lobby mein baithne se acha h... Andar thand toh nhi lgegi tumhe.. And we can adjust...

Preeta: Par..

Karan gave her a questioning look.

Preeta : Are u sure? Mne pehle hi tumhe bahut pareshan krdiya h...

Karan: Vo toh h... Par ab jab tumhari help kr hi di h.. Toh thodi ache se hi krdeta hu... Chlo...

Preeta: Okay...

Preeran went to Karan's room.

Precap...
