After lunch, she got her necessary staff in a shoulder bag & leave for the airport. Once seated on the plane she thought about the last three hours & how impulsive she had become. She takes a deep sigh & closes her eyes.
'Once I get back my son I can start anew. He should be around three years old. I missed so much of his childhood. Would he blame me? Does he know about my existence?'
"Mr. Raj, where are we exactly going? Are you taking me to my son?"
"Ms. Riya, please have some patience & you better take some rest. We have a long way to go."
Riya gets frustrated with this reply. He's being too suspicious as time passes by. Then again she doesn't have any other choice. She thought about the past while looking through the window.
She is so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the father-son duo just two seats away. The father wearing a royal blue shirt continuously typing & the boy is trying hard to put his pinky toe finger on his mouth. It's a real struggle & test of flexibility.
"Mm…mm"
"Stop it, Karan"
The little kid froze in an uncomfortable posture pouting his lips & asked, "Why dad?"
"You're old enough to play like this. Now be good."
"Am I older? Are you giving me a baby? Am I going to be older brother soon?" he asked in full of excitement with two shining eyes fixed on his dad.
Mohit is a little speechless. 'What's going on in his head? Where did he get this kind of idea?' He peeked at the slender figure two seats away & shake his head. Though his ears are a little red if anyone looks carefully.
With this, he ignored his son & get back to work. It was a quick escape so he has a lot of things to wrap up. He hopes he didn't make a wrong decision this time.
Raj glanced around the plane & notice his boss, also some of his colleagues. He's very confused. 'Are we playing hide & seek? Bro didn't tell me anything about it. Where is he anyway? Miss is also not here.'
Once the plane landed Riya slowly opened her eyes. She's so tired that she takes a nap & put her guard down. It's too rare for her to sleep so well without any nightmares.
She looked around & notice a little boy squatting while nobody was around him. 'How careless.' She was walking towards him when someone knocked on her shoulder. The next time when she looked around the kid was gone.
"Ms Riya, let's go."
"Ok"
