Rahul is boarding on a flight from Mumbai to Kolkata. He is going to meet the girl his parents have selected for his marriage. Although marriage is not in his mind right now, he is still going to meet her, as per the order of his parents. It's 4:45 PM, and his flight is supposed to start at 5:00.
Rahul sits in the aeroplane seat, thinking about how the girl is going to be. Meeting a stranger for marriage, is a difficult choice to make. Rahul was lost in thoughts, when a girly voice speaks,"Excuse me, Can you move a little bit? I need to get inside. The next seat is mine."
Rahul wakes up from his thoughts. He sees a beautiful girl standing in front of him. She is of middle height, very fair in complexion, has long hair, mesmerising eyes and kissable lips. The out fit, she is wearing makes her even more attractive. He feels his heart beating fast, and again gets lost in thoughts, this time differently.
"Excuse me, can you pleassse move aside?" - The girl again says, audible enough for people to stare towards them.
Rahul wakes up with a startle. The girl is still standing. Ashamed by his mistake, he moves aside, and the girl gets in. After she sits and the flight takes off, Rahul decides to take a small nap, as he is tired and didn't have a sleep properly. He plugs in hi ear phones and dozes off.
He wakes up with a swing. The aeroplane took a narrow swing, which wakes him up. He sees the same girl besides him, frightened and folding her hands tightly. Rahul suddenly remembers, how his day dreaming had made the girl delayed. He decides to apologise.
"Excuse me", He says and the girl looks at him. He continues,"Hi! Just wanted to say that I am sorry for delaying you at the time of take off. I didn't do it intentionally. Just that I was thinking something and couldn't hear you. So sorry."
"It's okay. I also might have been too loud. Actually, I fear travelling in planes. As that was time for take off, I felt like sitting in my seat and grabbing a blanket. So, me too sorry for that. " - The girl replies.
"Okay. Hi! I am Rahul." - Rahul shakes hands with her.
"Tiyasha" - She replies.
"Wow. Nice name. Unique also. Where do you work in Mumbai, bdw? " - Rahul asks.
"Vodafone. And you? - Tiyasha asks.
"I work in Naukri. Com" - Rahul replies smilingly, and continues."So, you have taken a leave for?"
"To meet my would be groom. And you? - Tiyasha smiles and asks.
"What a coincidence. Me also going for the same purpose, to see my would be wife." - replies Rahul.
They continue talking to each other, till the flight lands. Tiyasha's sweet smile, modest appeal and spell binding fragrance had cast a spell on Rahul. He wishes that their meeting would never be over and that she could be his future wife. He fell head over heels, in love with her.
Post the aeroplane lands, they exchange phone numbers and bid good bye. Rahul promises himself, that he would get back to her.
Rahul's car was waiting outside the airport. His father was waiting to pick him up. Post collecting luggage, he meets his father. They get in to the car and the car starts.
"I had promised to show you the picture, once you come here. Else, I feared you would have rejected this time also. Here, see her picture. How beautiful she is. You would be a fool to reject her." - Rahul's father says.
Although, completely lost in Tiyasha's thoughts, he decides to take a look at the picture. Seeing it, his face becomes fixed with shock. He cannot believe it. His would be bride is the same girl, he had bid good bye, some half an hour ago.
Holding, Tiyasha's picture in hand, Rahul feels overjoyed. Imaginary sky works cover up the entire Kolkata sky. He has never been such happy before.
"Meet her, once. You may reject, if you don't like after meeting, but, please meet her once. If you have some...." - Rahul's father gets interrupted in between.
"I guess, I have already done that. I like her. It's a positive from my side." - Rahul says, interrupting his father.
Rahul's father smiles. Rahul has no idea, that the whole plan of making Tiyasha and Rahul meet as strangers by arranging adjacent seats in the same flight, and helping them know each other, was planned by their parents. They felt this would ease up the process. And, so did it do. At least, for his son,
He will now have to see how the situation is, on the other side.
Rahul, however, unknown of all this is very happy. The first step has already been established by god, He can now safely, go ahead. He smiles to himself, with a glee and the car drives along the road.
