Chapter 23

Ayla's Pov:

We all are at the airport waiting for some dudes. I sigh heavily, I am totally exhausted with all the things that happened in my life recently. I hope this trip will be helpful to keep my mind off of him.

"Hey what the hell yaar? Why are they so late? We have been waiting for so long. Call them and ask where are they" Meera whined at Vijay.

Our flight to Manali is at 6:55pm and we reached here around 4.45pm. Since TSA check point may have very long lines to check our luggages we arrived earlier to avoid that but however it ended sooner than we expected it to be.

Now it's almost 6.05 pm and still their friends are not here. Apparently these guys have asked their friends to join this trip just like how we asked Vani and Rahul to join us. The point is now the checking line got long, so it's kinda increasing our heart rate up. What if we get late or what if we miss the flight because of those late comers.

Rags voiced out our thoughts while biting her nails "What if we missed the flight?"

Vijay shake his head "Calm down yaar we have one hour more to go. So chill".

Meera scoffed him with a disbelief look on her face "I can't believe you right now. How can you say that? I don't know about you, but standing in line for the security check with 45 minutes of waiting to go, and the departure time is in also 45 fucking minutes... And and your so called friends aren't even arrived yet which will surely fuck us up. It's already giving me anxiety just thinking about that. I don't fucking care who comes or not we girls are not waiting any longer" she yelled at him in single breathe.

We all gapped at her.

I chuckled while looking at her frustration face. It's her first time going on a plane that's why she's so worked up.

Well whatever she said was true though. If they don't come on time it will surely flop our entire plan.

"Don't you dare fucking laugh at me" Meera hissed at us. We all zipped our lips while trying to control our laughter.

"Whatever as she said we are going in the next 15mins. You guy's better call them ASAP." Rags said while trying glare at them.

I looked down at my hand when I heard my phone ring, Vani is calling. I signalled them and went to talked to her.

*******************

I sighed while sitting on the seat finally their friends have arrived. Apparently when I was on the call they arrived I guess. Vani and Rahul boarded their flight before us, since they're coming straight from Bangalore to Manali. Thank god everything was done on time. Now we are all very excited and can't wait to land.

My smile flattered but I don't know how they managed to finish their checkings so fast. I sighed well money speeks a lot.

"OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! This is so fucking awesome. It's my first time flying on the plane. Oh god I can't wait for it. Start start!!" Meera was so excited like a child.

I chuckled she looks so carefree, while looking at her suddenly it saddened my mood, not because of her it's because I was like that at one point of my life.

What happened to that?

Well it all got changed since the time he stepped into my life. He's an nightmare.

I shake my head "No no... No more thinking about him. I'm going to enjoy this trip as much as I can" I muttered under my breathe.

Rags was sitting next to me so she turned and asked me "What?"

I awkwardly smiled at her saying nothing.

"Veer come here dude look at this" Aarav's loud voice echoed through the plane. My heart stopped it's beating after hearing that name. A shiver ran down my spine.

What?

What is he doing here?

"Why is that douchebag here?"

"Yeah! What the fuck is he doing here?"

"I guess, Aarav might have invited him"

"Urgh I hate him already"

I can hear my friends cursing and talking about him, but I couldn't think of anything. He will definitely do something, I can't be alone no matter what.

I closed my eyes in distress while leaning my head on my seat. I almost forgot that he will be there too. After all he is Aarav's best friend. Why the fuck I agreed to this damn trip.

Why didn't I thought of that?

My god why I'm so stupid at times?

I groaned while holding my hair in frustration, I guess that's the reason he delayed coming to the waiting lounge at the airport. He planned it.

What will I do now? How can I stay with him? these thoughts are kept running in the back of my mind. I mean I know we're not alone but still at the thought of being close to him is sending me a shiver.

I mean I couldn't even escape him in our college, he had his way with me even when we are surrounded by thousands of students and now only 12 members are here how am I supposed to escape him.

The mere thought of him staying with us is sending a chill to me and making me shiver at that.

Why can't he be a normal guy for once?

Someone was shaking me "Ayla? Hey Ayla? Look hey put the seat belt on?" "Hey Ayla" I could hear them calling me by waving their hands near my face and I came out of my trance by blinking my eyes several times.

"Huh?"

Meera sighed at me.

"My god women, put your goddamn seat belt now"

I nodded my head absentmindedly while putting my seat belt on and I turned towards to look at him.

I searched him and then there he is already looking at me with a smirk on his face.

He mouthed at me "Happy journey, little one. See you soon in my arms"

He winked at him while smirking hardly.

I gasped while turning around immediately since I couldn't able to say anything. I just simply stared ahead breathing heavily.

I closed my eyes praying god please help me!

What I didn't know was that my prayer will not be heard and that this trip would completely change my life.
