Kian was on his seat, not sleeping, but his eyes were close. The entire scene from past horror hour were repeating in his mind. He was thinking how, in just matter of seconds, thing can convert from playful to deadly. Who would have thought, that a sunflower seed, which he was using just as a plaything, could had been the reason for his death today. Suddenly a thought arise in his head.
"What he was doing??? Breaking himself everyday by the load of work!!! Not think about any other things but work!!! When was the last time he enjoyed an ice-cream?? He can't even remember it."
And why was all this?? Because, apparently he was 'too busy' to even think about his wishes.
He started scolding himself in his mind
"too busy??
Too busy for what bro??
to make money right??
And what is money for??
For a comfortable life, right??
but....
Are you comfortable?? Are you happy?
No, you are not. You are just like a body without soul, getting up staying busy all day, even to the point that you don't even remember to eat!!! Is this what you want??? Is it??"
"No!!!!!!" Kian exclaimed. He got up in shock and start looking around.
Seeing him, a crew member came to him and asked if he was fine or do he need doctor again?
Kian-"no I'm fine, I just had a bad dream...."
Crew memb-" should I get you something to drink?"
Kian smile and said- "thank you…. But I don't need it."… then he paused for some time and asked-" where's the doctor who treated me??"
Crew memb-" she's in economic section. We offered her business class but she denied"
"Denied??" Kian asked with a confused expression on his face. (his confusion was obvious.… who would say no for free business class??)
Crew memb-" yes you heard it right, she denied our offer"
"ok then…. Can you shift me next to her??" Kian asked hesitatingly.
At this moment that airhostess has lost her clam... she had weird expression on her face.
"what are these people? One didn't accepted free business class ride and the other is giving up his paid seat?? Do they have a money growing tree?? If you are this rich please shower some on me...….."
Air hostess was stand in shock and not speaking anything, totally lost in her thoughts.
"ma'am???" Kian's word brought her back to her senses. He know it was more like a creep's wish but he really want to see her again. Life has give him second chance and now he should enjoy it. He had already made his mind to enjoy this vacation to fullest and keep all busy thoughts aside. This was a kind of new start for him and he wanted her, because of whom he's having this chance, to be with him. So it doesn't matter even if people will think he's a creep,
"I'm sorry sir. I don't think it is possible"
Kian was already expecting this, as his wish was not any less than a creep's, but he was not ready to give up.
"Although I'm feeling well, but I'll be at rest only if she is around me and also I want to thank her properly. I hope you understand" said Kian in a pleading tone.
When he told about his health air hostess cannot deny and said- "let me see what I can do"
Saying this she went to discuss this with her senior.
Kian was patiently waiting in his seat. That air hostess came back and told him that he can move.
"Thank you…. Thank you so much" Kian said with a smile as bright as sun and followed air hostess.
When he reached there, he saw Jade, she was in deep sleep so he signaled air hostess to stay quite. He sat next to her as slowly as he could so that her sleep won't get disturbed.
After seeing that he was comfortable air hostess left them. Now it was only Jade and Kian. Jade was sleeping soundly and Kian was observing her features. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, mole on side of her forehead and her left cheek, he was intensely staring them as if he trying to save them in his memory permanently. He was busy staring her, just then her head slide to his shoulder. He felt as if his heart skips a beat. Her face was so close to him and suddenly he can smell some fragnance... was it her 'smooth and shiny shampoo'?? And wait… since when did he became so good with guessing girls shampoo?? Thinking this a smile arise on his lips. He adjust himself in such a that she could feel more comfort and closed his eyes as well. He was going to start new way of living and he'll make sure she's with him in this.
