"Are you Roop Malhotra?"
Just as he said these four words, people in the nearby seats turned to me.
"Mam, you're my biggest inspiration!" One teenager said.
"I've seen you on many magazine covers mam, I have collected them all" Here comes another.
"How come you're the richest entrepreneur at just 22? You inspire teens like us"
"She is so rich and beautiful and intelligent and...(bla bla bla)"
"Can we please click a picture with you mam?"
I agreed.
*click*
*click*

"Now I think it's enough for now? Can I have some rest now?" I said plastering a smile.
"Thank you, mam," they said.
"Oh you Mr. Red ass, someone please open the windows I gotta Kick him out!"
"Hey", he whispered "Don't you recognize me now? I'm Shaurya, your schoolmate"
"F**K!!" I stare wide-eyed at him.
Shaurya's POV:
The girl who suddenly came out of nowhere and asked me to 'Get out', her attitude was just too cold. I mean, how could someone be so rude? But why does she feel familiar? But I couldn't figure it out because she had covered her face like some most wanted Mafia. Half an hour later, she just took off the stuff that was covering her face till now. Damn, isn't she Roop, my schoolmate? The same girl who used to be so cheerful and helpful during the schooldays? Also, I came to know back then that she had a huge crush on me. Didn't she recognise me or is she deliberately acting cold with me?
Okay, guts collected, ego pushed aside, I started, "Are you Miss Roop?"
She looked at me horrified and pissed off and just then, everyone around us started saying things like, "I've seen you on magazine covers, you're an inspiration" and sort of things.
I was being pushed hard by these fans. They clicked a picture with her and she "politely" asked them to let her rest now.
"Hey", I said "Don't you recognize me now? I'm Shaurya, your schoolmate"
Suddenly, the heavens knew what struck her, and she kept staring at me.
"Sorry, I can't recognize you," She said plugging in her earphones.
Damn, did she just ignore me? I was one of the most popular in school and she is ignoring me?
I then turned to the girl who said that she had collected all the magazines featuring her.
"Who is she? You seem to be a fan of her!"
"Yes yes yes!!!" she exclaimed "She is the CEO of the international Malhotra Corporation, just 22, and the Richest entrepreneur in Asia. Rich, beautiful, and intelligent. Don't you have a television at home? She is the main topic for breaking news since she has taken over the company."
"What a beauty, her full lips, that long hair, that body! Any man would kill for her. Her name suits her perfectly." The boy beside the girl said.
Roop's POV:
How come he's here, and recognized me? I just shut him up and now, I'm gonna ignore him until I am on this flight.
