The Flighting Love

"Yes Anuj. I have onboarded the plane. I know I am late. It got delayed. Can we reschedule the meeting?"

"They can't wait for me? For me?." His brows arched.

"Cancel the tenure then. Bye. See you."

"Excuse me." He pressed the call attendant button.

"Yes Sir. How may I help you?"

"What's wrong with the flight? Your services are worst. 

We have been waiting like ages now. Is it going to fly? 

Do you know what kind of a deal I lost because of you guys? Do you know how much money I lost. I could buy your business with that!!" He screamed.

"Then buy your own. Fly your own. May I know why are you even here Sir? I assume you must have your chattered planes. Where did that go?".

A beautiful lady appeared from the cockpit. Her hair tied up, in the beautiful uniform with nude lipstick and minimal blush on the face. 

Rajeev went awestruck for a minute.

No girl ever talked to him like that. Some out of fear. Some out of their love for me. Some out of lust.

"Do you know who i am?"

"Rajeev Vansal. The emerging superstar in the business era." 

She chuckled. "As the news say."

"Sir, we also have to go to our home, we are tired too. Its not like we are not flying because we don't want to.

While the routine checking, they found some fuel leakage and engineers are working on it. Please have patience. " She turned around to go back.

"Sir. Also a suggestion, please onboard an early flight incase of urgent meetings."

Saying this she disappeared.

Rajeev's annoyance turned into a smile.

Finally a girl he wants badly. Not because it was love at first sight but because she didn't want him and now he wants her more than anything. 

Half an hour later, the announcement happened.

"Hi Everyone. Welcome to FlyAir airlines. I am captain Anwesha Nayak. Along with me, we have pilot Shivam Sharma. We will be reaching Bhubaneswar at 21:00. The temperature is expected to be 38°C. Have a nice flight."

Rajeev Smirked. "Anwesha Nayak it is." 

He typed into his phone. "Anuj find everything about Anwesha Nayak. Captain in FlyAir."

The flight landed. "Excuse me? Can i meet the pilots?" Rajeev asked one attendant at the cockpit door.

"No Sir. We do not allow passengers inside."

Rajeev was annoyed. 

"Hi Anuj. Yes I just reached. Did you get my text?" 

"Cool. Reaching soon."

"Yes Anuj. Tell me. "

"They left. They don't want the deal anymore..."

"Not that. About Anwesha ..."

"Okay about that. What is with this girl? Why are you after her? Is this another of your games?"

Rajeev rolled his eyes. "Tell me all about her."

"Anwesha. Stays at Nayapalli Bhubaneswar along with her younger brother who is in BTech 3rd year. They lost their parent very young. They stay with their grandparents. "

"Is she dating anyone?"

"No. "

"Give me her address."

"Have you lost it Rajeev?"

"De" . Give.

He took out his Audi and waited near the lane beside her house. Guessing what room she is in.

It took hours but she didn't appear. 

"Aruj. Ek kaam karde. Find when she goes out. Any favourite places? "

The day after, Anwesha dressed up in a beautiful white kurti with minimal makeup and stepped out.

She reached her favourite temple. Every morning when she is in town, she makes sure to visit the temple. Spend some time there. Feed the dogs. She used to go to that temple with her mother when she yas young. She finds some part of her mother there.

She completed her chores and while leaving, she spotted a guy at the end of the flight of stairs decently dressed in kurta, hair neatly done leaning over his Audi.

She immediately recognised her. She knew he doesn't stay nearby. Is it just a coincidence? 

She ignored him and went the other way when she reached the street. 

"Anwesha..."

I knew it. She thought.

"Yes?"

"Ohh so now you don't recognise me?"

"I did. "

"You could have waved atleast. Don't your airline teaches all these?"

"Do you see us flying? I am not in MY airline right now."

She turned around to go.

"Can we meet for coffee?" 

She Smirked. "Wrong question." 

She walked away.

"Wrong question? " He thought to himself.

He tried to catch every flight where Anwesha was the pilot in to grab her attention. Used to wait everytime at the temple, her favourite shopping destination. But she never initiated.

Anwesha and his brother went out one evening and while returning back, she noticed Rajeev's car parked outside her house.

"I am going to kill him." She mumbled.

When she entered, he was sitting with her grandparents and all were giggling, discussing, laughing.

"Am I dreaming or what! The audacity of this guy." She thought to herself.

"What are you doing here? " He smirked.

"And nanu, naani, you allowed him in?"

"He said he is your friend beta..."

"Best friend Naani ji."

Anwesha threw daggers at him.

"Nani , do you allow any stranger into the house who says they are my friend. Are you guys crazy?"

" He seems decent..."

"You. Rajeev. Meet me outside."

"What are you doing here?"

"Gelling up. Bonding. After all they will be family."

"What? Are you drinking? "

"Just tea. You said i asked the wrong question that day. I will ask the right one today. Chai pe chalein? "

She was annoyed yet smiled. 

"Okay.. but just tea. No family. Nothing."

"Ofcourse... Just that." Rajeev rolled his eyes.

"And don't appear at my house again."

"Yeah sure "

And as usual, never obeyed. Her house was his new chillout destination. Dated her. Married her.
