Author's POV:

Shivina sat in her office going through the sales file of last month. Sunlight falling straight on her from the windows of the office, with a great skyline view from the 40th floor of the office building. 

Drowned in the thoughts of last night, why she dressed up and went along with Shubman for a dinner date and how she couldn't resist herself from going out with him and letting him in her house. How she didn't push him when he back hugged her at the beach, rather she was enjoying the warmth and their proximity. How Shubman was irked when he saw Alex in the morning. How authoritatively Shubman snaked his arm around her waist in front of Alex. 

She came out of her thoughts the very next moment, when Alex barged to her office with his iPad in his hands, his jaws tensed and forehead adorned with several crease. 

Alex: we need to visit India!

Shivina: first of all calm down and have a seat

He sat opposite to her pulling the chair.

Alex: There's a issue at the Indian headquarter and we need to visit it.

Shivina: Is it necessary to visit India!?

Alex: yes and I've booked the tickets already! The flight will take of in 3 hours so you 2 hours to get your stuffs packed.

Shivina: Fine! I'll meet you at the airport!

She said picking up her car keys and walking towards the door.

Coming back to home, she packed few essentials along with some of her clothes. While the packing session she got reminded of the ICTs flight today. Shubman said that they were leaving today at the same, that means they might run into each other at the flight or the airport.

Shivina's POV:

I got ready for the airport, carrying a formal attire as usual, a black shirt and flared black pants. Getting in the chauffer driven car, I reached the John F. Kennedy International airport in no time. Completing the necessary formalities, I was now waiting for boarding which would start in 15 mins from. By the time boarding would start, Alex along with Reverie and her nanny was also present at the airport.

We boarded the flight and were sitting on our respective seats. A sudden chaos was there in the flight as the ICT members started boarding. Upon getting in the first class part of the flight, Shubman's eyes caught me siting on the window seat with Reverie between me and Alex.

As the flight gained a subtle and right altitude amidst the sky replete clouds. Tilak Verma one of the ICT members got up and walked to us, asking if she could swap seats with him, as per his skippers request or to be precise order.

Tilak: Hi bhabhi!

Shivina: bhabhi?

Tilak: oh sorry I mean di! hi di!

Shivina: hi!

Tilak: di aap mere saath seats exchange kar loge please!

Shivina: but kyun? I mean suddenly!?

Tilak: please!

Shivina: acha ok!

I got up from my seats and looked at his former seat, I saw Shubman siting there with ear pods on. I once again looked at Tilak before looking back at Shubman and walking towards the newly appointed seat.

I knew it must be Shubman who would have asked his teammate to exchange seats with me. I went to him and sat, grabbing his attention. He removed his ear pods before looking at me and again putting them back and entangling his fingers with mine.

Shubman's POV:

We were leaving for India today and currently all of us are at the airport. The boarding started and soon we were in the flight. Once boarding the flight, my eyes fell on Shivina who sat beside that Alex in a beautiful black shirt and black pants, looking elegant as always.

Tilak one of the members sat beside me as Ishan was siting right behind me. The flight took off and throughout the take off my eyes were fixed at Shivi, specially at the way that guy was looking at her.

No one can look at my woman like that. Yes! My woman! She is mine and I'm her! In the past years when I was away from her I realized how much I love her, and now I'll try my best to win her back. To show her my love towards her, to lover her with all I have, and to make her the happiest woman alive even though I've done tons of mistakes in the past and I've treated her badly.

As soon as she came and settled on the seat beside mine, I took a glance of her before entangling our hands together. Without wasting any moment I could feel her fingers wiggling between mine, trying her best to get them off my clutch.

Trying for straight 3 mins she finally gave up, and sat leaning against the seat. A while later I could hear her soft snores. I realized that she slept, so I put on her the white comforter that was provided by the flight crew, and our hands still entangled. A while later I too dozed off after adjusting my seat cuddling up into the same blanket as hers.

I was woken up by Ishan who was smirking at me, eyeing our curled up bodies into each other. Her head on my chest, with her arms encircled on my torso and my arms safely snaked around her waist pulling her more into me.

I carefully took off my arms before she wakes up and starts screaming at me with those scary eyes of her. I lightly caressed her hairs in an attempt to wake her up from the deep slumber she was into. She woke up but was still in half sleep and wasn't in a mood to have her lunch even a bit.

Shubman: Shivi! atleast have your lunch!

Shivina: nhi khana!

Shubman: arey but thora toh khana padega na~

Shivina: nhi khana yaar!

As always she was cranky after waking and was not in a mood to have her lunch, but she can't be skipping her lunch.

Shubman: come I'll feed you!

She didn't say anything but leaned back on the seat, while I feed her. After feeding her and having my own lunch, I saw her taking out her laptop and working on some designs it seems.

Author's POV:

While Shubman and Shivina slept cuddling into each other under one comforter, Alex who sat a few seats away from the duo was constantly eyeing them with sparks of jealousy and insecurity inculcating in him. His patience broke when he saw Shubman feeding Shivina lovingly, wiping her face and lips with his thumb. He got up from his seat, heading towards the seats they were siting.

Alex: Shivi! you okay here?

Even before Shivina could reply, Shubman decided to be her voice igniting a spark of rivalry and jealousy between both of them.

Shubman: She's all good here!

Alex: I think I asked Shivina!

Shubman: off course you did and she's all fine here! Isn't it Shivi?

Shivina: I... yes Alex I'm good here!

Alex: why are you calling her by nicknames?

Shubman: I think you don't know but I know her even before you did so iykyk!

Alex was completely irked by Shubman's way of talking and his replies. He decided not to say anything or create any scene, so went back to his seat drifting to sleep taking Reverie in his arms as 7 hours were still for the flight to land in India.
