"OH GOD please delay the departure of this flight... bad
weather, air traffic, something.. but please delay it.. by 15 minutes at least"

At the airport

These is to inform you that the flight IT 343 to mumbai has
been delayed by half an hour due to bad weather conditions

"DAMN.. it had to be delayed.. why today?? Why today, when i
need to be in mumbai as soon as i can?" grumbled a man, in his mid twenties,
with a fair complexion and rich black hair.. He went back to reading the
magazine that he was currently reading, ignoring all the female attention he
was receiving...

After about 20 minutes, when he finished reading the
magazine, he put it down, and got up to pick up a different magazine or
newspaper.. he was least bothered about what others thought of him at this
moment.. all he knew was that he needed to reach mumbai and everything was
going against him today.. this particular flight that was never delayed, had to
be delayed today?

He reached the magazine stand, when he bumped into a lady,
in her mid twenties as well, he couldn't really see her face as she had bent
down to collect all the items that had fallen ... after having collected
everything, she stood back up, and looked at the man she bumped into.. that is
when he saw her features.. chocolate brown eyes with kajal applied.. an angelic
smile.. "beautiful" he mumbled to himself... he was brought out of his thoughts
when he heard her speak

" I'm so sorry.. actually i'm already late for my flight.. i
just hope i dont miss it.. i really gotto reach mumbai"

" IT 343 To mumbai?" he asked her.. he didn't know why, but
he wanted to have her company throughout the flight

" Yeh.. please dont tell me that it departed.." as she said
that, she looked up with a little hope..and saw him smile.. for a second, her mind went black.. she just
kept staring at his dimpled smile...

" No i have been waiting for them to announce boarding for
the past 30 minutes.. you seem to be very lucky today" as he said that, they heard an announcement

Passengers travelling to mumbai by IY-343 kindly proceed for
boarding

" You seen to be very lucky indeed.." he said, as they both
went ahead towards the boarding counter..

Armaan silently prayed that their seats were next to each
other, even when he knew that that was nearly impossible... They went towards
the aircraft.. when riddhima spoke up

" Uhmm.. well it was nice meeting you.. hope to see you soon
" yeh that was the last thing he wanted to hear.. but he knew that she was probably
right.. they may not meet each other ever again..

They entered the flight, when riddhima went ahead and took
her seat... 1A.. he sighed and went ahead to his seat.. that was far away from
hers.. 1F.. they had to choose the opposite window seats?

He looked at the seat pocked in the front, and looked at the
magazine, when someone came upto him

" Uhm.. sir.. that madam over there has asked me to change
places with you.. she wants you sit next to her.."

He looked at her.. and saw her looking at him with a smile
and pleading eyes... he smiled and politely accepted the man's offer

" someone's missing me already?" he said to her, as soon as
he sat down..

" i was wishing for some good company for the 3 hour flight"
she said

" well i take that as a compliment.. so thankyou" he said...

She didn't know what to say anymore, so she looked out of
the window as her cheeks turned red..

" You think i can't see your smile if you turn away from me?"
he said, grinning shamelessly at her

Her cheeks turned a darker shade of red as she continued to
look outside the window

" well i guess there is something more interesting than me
out there.." he said, and looked at her.. this time, really wanting to receive
an answer

When he received no answer again.. he leaned in closer to
her, to check if there was something very interesting outside the window...

She felt some warm air on her shoulders, and when she tuned
back to see what it was, she saw him very close to her, with a frown on his
face

Her heartbeat rose as she turned back towards the window,
and continued to experience the warm air on her bare skin

" well i dont see anything special outisde the window" he
said, almost into her ears...

He turned towards her, and found it quite strange to see her
nervous and restless expression.. that is when the proximity hit him and he sat
back on his seat..

" well i am sorry" he said, and engrossed himself in the
magazine infront of him..

Riddhima didn't know what to do this time.. she opened her
bag, and pretended to be searching for something.. around an hour had passed, and they both had
not exchanged a single word.. they both pretended to be engrossed in what they
were doing, and exchanged silent glances at each other...

Almost the entire flight journey had passed this way, when
riddhima realized that she actually couldn't find her cell phone.. she shuffled
things in her bag quite roughly this time, grabbing armaan's attention..

" What's wrong?" he managed to say, as he realized that she
was really worried about soemthing..

" My cellphone.. i can't find it.." she said, as she
continued to search for it..

" well even i keep losing mine.. a common habit of ours" he said,
sounding to be quite proud of that fact.. he realized that he made a big mistake by
saying that when he saw her frown..

" you're supposed to be helping me find it.. and not be
making me feel worse about losing it"
she said, with the frown still on her face

THIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE LANDING IN MUMBAI
SHORTLY.. KINDLY FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS AND SWITCH OFF ALL ELECTRONICS

" great.. so i officially lost my mobile" she said, as she
gave up trying to search her mobile and closed her bag

The flight landed in some time, and she got up and left
immediately.. or rather ran towards the exit.. he frowned at that action of
hers, but then smiled again, as he saw her phone lying on her seat.. must have
fallen off when she was pretending to be searching for something... he
thought..

He ran behind her.. and caught up with her in some time..

" hey" he said, almost breathless this time

" hey.. i'm sorry i ran away like that.. i am in a real
hurry.. will talk to you later?" she asked me..

" uh sure.. but i just wanted to return your mobile to you..
you had left it on the seat" he said, grinning

She hit her hand on her head.. and mumbled a polite thanks
and continued to walk ahead

" by the way, i added my number to your phonebook in case
you need to contact me.."

she smiled at that piece of information... he was really one
of a kind..

" and one more thing.. take this" he passed on a small piece
of paper to her.. it read:

" be there please" he said, and left.. and kept her wondering
and keep in thought... he was a musician.. true he had a great voice.. but she
never thought he was a musicien.. and which band was he in?

she unzipped her bag and put the note in.. it would have
remained in her bag forever, without her taking a second look at it.. but only,
only if that man had left her mind after that incident.. his thoughts refused to
leave her mind as she kept staring at the note throughout that night
