"Final call for passenger, Mr. Agastya Rao on flight no. SN1227. Your flight will take off in the next 10 minutes. Please report to the gate no. 12 immediately. Thank you.", Said the announcement at the airport.

"That's me! Oh no!! Which way for gate no. 12?", Sidharth asks as he was scanned by the security.

"Straight, deadend left. You have to hurry. Don't forget to collect your bag, belt and mobile.", Said the security guard.

"Thanks", Sidharth nods and picks up his belongings which arrived through the scanner immediately. He races towards the gate no. 12 hurriedly.

"Agastya Rao..", he says panting heavily by handing his passport and boarding pass at the gate counter which was about to be closed.

"You're just in time else would have missed your flight..", said the lady behind the counter.

"Pufff...", He bends down huffing and puffing after an intense cardio workout which he had running from one end to another within a short period.

"You may board the flight, Sir. Your flight is about to take off.", Said the lady.

"Thank.. You..", he said in between puffs while collecting the passport and the part of boarding pass. Loosening his collar to grab some fresh air, he proceeds towards the aircraft door and is greeted by the airhostess with folded hands.

All the passengers had settled down so he quickly moves towards his seat. Pushing his bag into the luggage compartment on the top, he occupies his economy class seat. He looks up and adjusts the aircon vent properly and shuts his eyes close leaning his head back to his seat.

There is a beep before the airhostess starts giving the take-off instruction.

"...During the journey, please keep your mobile phones off at all times.."

"Shehnaaz...", He blurts having been reminded of mobile phone. Grabbing his phone from his pocket, he quickly puts on his headphone and makes a video call to Keshov.

"Hello Keshov. Shehnaaz kaha hai? Woh thik haina?", He asked as soon as his call got received.

"Hmm.. haan Sir. Woh..", said Keshov looking at the sulking Shehnaaz.

"Kullu..", Shehnaaz raced towards the phone and snatched it from Keshov's hand.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz both stared at each other in silence as if they were looking at each other after decades even though it had been just a little over 2 hours.

"Ro rahi thi?", Sidharth asks.

She nods yes.

"Kya bola tha maine tumhe? Rona nahi bola tha na?", He asked her pretending to scold her.

"Kullu.. kab aaoge?", She asked innocently with a sulking tone.

"Hmmm... Nahi aaunga..", he scolds.

"Kullu.. ", she starts crying.

"Shehnaaz.. Sweetheart chup ho jao.. mera kehneka matlab tha ki agar aisa ro-ogi toh nahi aaunga.. rona nahi.. tab main jaldi aaunga..", he explained as if he was explaining a little kid.

"Sir, please switch-off your mobile phone.", Requests airhostess. Sidharth looks at her and nods his head by showing her his index finger to give him a minute more. The airhostess nods her head.

"Rona nahi..", Shehnaaz nods no, wiping her tears.

"Good Girl Shehnaaz. Ab chalo hass ke dikhao..", he said looking at the screen.

Shehnaaz bites her lower lip and shows him her bunny teeth while batting her eyelashes cutely.

"Aww.. tumhaare saamne ke do bunny teeth sabse best hai..", he said like a love sick puppy.

"Kullu.. kab aaoge?", She asks yet again.

"Jaldi aaunga meri jaan. I love you.", He promises.

"I love you too sweetheart", she says kissing the phone screen.

"Bye Shehnaaz", He smiles emotionally before disconnecting. Shehnaaz's smile disappears looking at the wallpaper screen.

"Sir.. joldi aa jaayenge Flora..", Keshov caresses her head softly sitting beside her.

"Haan, Shehnaaz di. Jab tak woh aate hai, hum hai na aapke saath.", Said Meera sitting on the other side and putting her arm around her shoulder, to hug her. Keshov puts his arm over Meera's arm and hugs them both emotionally. Maushami comes and sits down on the floor in front of Shehnaaz near her leg and places her head into her lap while hugging her by her waist emotionally.

All three sat in the same position for quite sometime to console Shehnaaz.

"Shehnaaz di, neend nahi aa rahi aapko?", Asked Meera who walked into Shehnaaz's room with her blanket.

Shehnaaz looks up at her and nods no.

"Mujhe bhi nahi aa rahi.. main na Keshov ji se laptop leke aayi hoon. Chalye, hum dono movie dekhte hai.. romantic wala..", said Meera.

Shehnaaz batted her eyelashes and smiled. Meera smiled and streamed a romantic movie on the laptop. Shehnaaz looked at the screen with her eyes wide open in astonishment.

"Shaadi..", Shehnaaz said recognising the wedding scene in the movie.

"Arey wah! Aap toh sab jaanti hai..", praised Meera. Shehnaaz smiled.

"Suhaagrat..", muttered Shehnaaz pointing at the florally decorated bed in the movie.

"Shabaassh!! Aapko toh yeh bhi pata hai..", Meera appreciates.

Shehnaaz bit her lips as the intimate scene played on the screen. Her face had turned pink due to extreme blushing.

"Awww.. aapko toh itne mein hi badi sharam aa rahi hai..", tittered Meera.

Meera observed her various facial expressions which changed from time and then according to the situation. She became emotional at the sad scene, laughed at the funny scene, showed anxiousness during the fight sequence and blushed at romantic scenes.

As the movie came to an end, where the actor and actress united with each other, Shehnaaz clapped her hands in appreciation.

"Yay!! Shehnaaz di, aapko movie pasand aayi kya?", Asked Meera.

"Pasand aayi", nodded Shehnaaz.

"Woh jo ladki thi woh apne pati ko kitna pyaar karti hai, haina?", Asked Meera.

"Pati sirf aur sirf Kullu..", giggled Shehnaaz.

"Haan, woh toh aapke hai.. main movie ki baat kar rahi thi. Waise aap bhi apne kullu ko utna hi pyaar karti ho na?", Asked Meera.

"Kullu ko pyaar karti hoon..", nods Shehnaaz.

"Toh aap bhi apne kullu ke liye sab karogi na?", Asks Meera

"Kullu ke liye sab karogi..", Shehnaaz nods in agreement.

"Karungi boliye..", instructs Meera.

"Karungi..", repeats Shehnaaz.

"Wow!! Toh phir jab tak aapke kullu nahi aate aapko main thoda thoda karke sab sikhaungi.. thik hai?", Asks Meera.

"Thik hai..", agrees Shehnaaz.

"Good morning Di.. chalye na hum dono breakfast banate hai.", Says Meera to divert the sad Shehnaaz's mood. Shehnaaz had been eagerly waiting for Sidharth to call.

"Yeh atta hai. Iss se hum rotiya banate hai. Ab ismein humko paani daalna hai.. thoda thoda karke paani dalna hai. Okay?", Instructed Meera.

"Okay", Shehnaaz said in excitement.

"Toh aap daalye paani.. main isse goondungi.. thoda thoda", says Meera.

"Thoda thoda..", Shehaaz sprinkles a few drops of water.

"Arey, itna bhi thoda nahi.. thoda jyada..", says Meera.

"Thoda jyada..", Shehnaaz mumbles and pours in the water.

"Bas bas bas..", Meera stops her.

Shehnaaz startles looking at Meera for making a mistake.

"Arey, darriye nahi.. kuch nahi hua.. maine bas roka aapko.. ab isko aise aise karte hai..", she showed her by mixing the dough.

"Aap karengi?", Asked Meera. Shehnaaz nods and follows her instruction.

Sidharth collects his bag from the conveyor belt and without wasting any time, immediately turns on the airport wifi and video calls Keshov.

"Hello, sir. Aap poch gaye?", Asked Keshov.

"Haan, Keshov. Just abhi land hua. Shehnaaz kaisi hai? Kaha hai woh?", Asked Sidharth in one breath.

"Haan haan sir. Woh thik aachi. Woh aapke phone ka hi bait kar rahi thi. Abhi deta hoon..", Keshov went out in search of Shehnaaz from his room calling her by her name.

"Keshov ji, hum yaha hai kitchen mein", replies Meera.

Keshov goes to the kitchen with the phone. Shehnaaz's hands were smeared with dough so Keshov holds the phone in front of her.

"Kullu... Kullu... Ghar kab aaoge?", Asked Shehnaaz emotionally looking at the screen.

"Shehnaaz, abhi toh aaya hoon yaha sweetheart. Yaha ka kaam khatam karke kuch hi din mein waapis aa jaunga meri jaan..", he said feeling content with her one glance.

"Jaldi aao..", she said.

"Haan meri jaan.. achcha batao tum kitchen mein kya kar rahi thi?", Asks Sidharth.

"Kullu.. atta..", she said displaying her flour filled hand.

"Aapki Shehnaaz aaj breakfast mein meri help kar rahi hai Jiju..", said Meera at the back.

"Huh? Wow!! Shehnaaz khaana bana rahi ho? Aur mere liye?", Asked Sidharth with a pouty face.

"Kullu..", Shehnaaz groaned with a sad pout.

"Arey, Shehnaaz, dukhi kyu ho rahi ho? Ek kaam karo mere hisse ka bhi tum khaa lena.. phir mein jab aaunga tab mere liye alag se achcha sa bana dena.. okay?", He suggests. Her face brightened up and she nodded her head.

"Kullu, I miss you..", said Shehnaaz

"I miss you too sweetheart.. I love you..", he said.

"I love you too sweetheart..", she uttered. Meera and Keshov blushed glancing at each other.

"Aur haan.. Keshov agar Shehnaaz khaana nahi khaaye ya roye toh mujhe message kar dena.. main phone nahi karunga..", said Sidharth.

"Ji Sir..", nods Keshov.

"Kullu...", Shehnaaz made a puppy face making Sidharth chuckle.

"Aise muh matt banao.. instead achche se khaana khao aur sabke saath khushi khushi raho.. aur main tumhe baad mein phone karunga.. thik hai..?", asked Sidharth.

Shehnaaz nods her head before he blew her a flying kiss. She kissed the mobile screen just before it got disconnected.
