“Flight No. 916W is ready for departure, passengers are requested to proceed for security check”. He obviously didn’t hear the announcement. He was too busy looking at her, this mysteriously alluring woman. Her eyes stole most of ones attention; they looked like they could absorb anything and everything. Or maybe it was just the Kohl she put. She looked stunning. The combinations of black and white never appeased him but on her it was “just so perfect”. He was absolutely smitten by her. She dint seem to mind him staring at her or she was just used to such behaviour. Another announcement was made. She rose to proceed towards the security check and that’s when he realised, he had to go too. He tried hard to keep an eye on her all the way to the security check. She walked into the women’s security checking booth.
As the robust officer moved the metal detector on him…he reflected on his behaviour it was so not him! He had never acted like that but heck she was so striking. Once out of the checking process, his eyes automatically kept searching for her but she was nowhere to be seen. “Sigh!”, he thought. Images of her kept flashing in his mind. Probably she was going to board some other flight. In a rather mellow mood now, he boarded the flight, again; although in a seemingly futile attempt he searched for her and of course his seat 10A. He dint find her but he sure did locate his seat. But someone was sitting on it already. Someone who was reading the newspaper. In frustration he called out, “Excuse me! You are in my seat”. The mysterious woman crept from behind the paper and said, “Oh! I am sorry” and moved to 10B. His heart skipped a beat and he was only thankful that She was sitting on his seat. He sat down feeling like a gladiator, She said “sorry” again…that was enough for him to start a conversation. Apologising again she said, “I probably owe you a treat, What the air-hostess brings is on me, she winked”, they laughed and time flew as they talked about one thing and another.
The flight landed, they claimed their baggage and said, “goodbye’s” and he thought, walking to airport exit, “that was the best journey ever”. He was halfway making plans about when to call her.
Outside the airport, he saw her again…how lovely she looked! How could he ever forget her eyes and the smile? He was in love. She was coming towards him and reconciled with his normal self, she was coming with another man, maybe her friend he thought. She introduced him as her husband.They talked about everything but it .He felt as if his heart was being ripped apart and that’s when a blue Santro brushed past and stopped, It was Reena his wife.
