Encounter in Airport

******Jhanavi's pov*****

I was busily working on my project and it was pin-drop silence in my office.  Then my mobile started ringing….

Tring. Tring.

I saw the display on my mobile and smiled looking at the name. Immediately, I attended the call because she would be worried if I delayed attending after the fourth ring.

" Do you know, what is the time now?" She started bombarding the questions.

Then I checked the time on the clock hanging on my office wall. The time is 8 at night. At that time I remembered that my pregnant sister will be alone at home.

" Sorry...Sis..will be there in 40 minutes…" I informed and disconnected the call.

I packed all my stuff and took my handbag. I didn't notice my colleagues left until I got a call from my sister. I quickly started to go home as my sister was waiting at home.

I went to the parking lot and started my scooty. I felt so tired and sleepy. 

I thought of taking a hot shower as soon as I reached my apartment. I reached home in thirty minutes as there was less traffic. I parked my scooty in the cellar.

I reached my floor in the elevator as it is on the fourth floor. I unlocked the door as I had spare keys with me. It was dark in the hall and I thought my sister was sleeping in her bedroom. I sat on the sofa by closing my eyes. All my energy drained off at the end of the day.

When I was thinking to go to my bedroom, my mobile started ringing

I was really tired to see the name of the person who is calling me so without seeing the name on the mobile I answered the call.

Hello jhanu, Are you back home? I need your help. It's very urgent ...

After hearing the voice from the other side, I opened my eyes and asked " Are you okay Vinay? " with a worried tone.

"Yes dear I am okay.. but I forgot to bring the project file, can you please bring it now. I am already started at the airport"

"You idiot can't you check before you were leaving for the airport.?" I scolded him.

"You can scold me later my flight will take off within three hours. That file is very important. Please come fast…" he pleaded.

"Okay okay, I will be there within one and a half hours. But you have to give me a gift in return." I said.

"Okay dear, first you start from the house with the project file. I will bring you a gift when I return from there…" he said and disconnected the call.

******Vinay pov*******

Today when I started to the office, I wanted to arrange all the things as I am leaving for the Kolkata branch to attend a meeting, directly from the office. When I was leaving for the airport from the office I remember my project file was missing. I thought to go to the flat and bring the file. But I noticed that there was a lot of traffic on the road. If I go to my flat to take the file, I might miss the flight. 

I got an idea and then I made a call to Jhanavi, my cute sister-in-law.  I requested her to bring my project file to the airport.

I know about her that she will help me in any situation. So I started for the airport directly from my office.

After one hour, I reached the airport and was waiting for her. I panicked that she didn't reach the airport in time.

Almost one and an hour later I didn't find Jhanu. I made a call to her but she was attending my call. I was very tense about whether Jhanu will reach within time or not. To calm me, I closed my eyes and leaned on the chair in the waiting hall.

" VINAY" someone called my name louder. 

I turned my head and looked at the person. It was Jhanavi.

Then  I noticed she was running towards me with a file in her hand. While she was running, She bumped into someone who was busily talking on his mobile. She didn't bother about that person and came towards me with a bright smile. I only noticed the person wore a black color suit.

I didn't see him whom she bumped into as he bent to take his mobile. My eyes were only on the hand and the project file. I was very happy to see her. She gave me my project file.

Jhanu returned a sweet smile and said " All the best".

" Thank you, dear." I hugged her. 

" No need to thank me for small things because whatever I am now is because of you," she replied.

" Okay, it's time for me to check-in. Go home carefully. As soon as you reach home, message me." I pecked her forehead.

" Hmmm.." She replied.

She waved her hand and left me as her sister will be alone at home.

I hurriedly started my scooty and reached the airport. I was searching for Vinay but I didn't find him in the crowd. I thought to call him, and as I turned my head I saw him sitting on a chair with closed eyes.

I smiled that whenever he was in the tension he would close his eyes to calm himself.

I started running towards Vinay to give his project file. In haste, I bumped into a person who was seriously talking on the phone. I didn't have time to apologize to the person as Vinay was getting late. I wanted to give the file to Vinay and said bye.

After Vinay left to check-in, I decided to convey my apologies to that person who I bumped earlier because his mobile was dropped on the floor.

I walked towards him slowly with hesitation.

" Sir, I am so sorry. I didn't ...."  My words stuck in my throat seeing that person and could not finish my sentence.

It was Abhi......

There were no words between us.

I could feel...

complete silence

Unbearable pain

Hatred

Suddenly one girl hugged him from behind...
