2023-09-03 06:53:02"What did he do? Akira I am asking you, what did he do?" asked a troubled Mike to his sister Akira .
Even though Mike was Akira's younger brother, he was the only family which Akira had . So he was his father, mother and his brother as well . He was 2 years younger than her but way mature than the guys of his age . He had always disliked Anthony . He knew he wasn't trustworthy . He had warned Akira so many times, but Akira was too blinded in love to even listen to him ."He didn't do anything to me Mike . I just don't feel like discussing about it right now", said Akira and sighed .Akira was so exhausted with so much happening around her, that she didn't have the will to go through it again ."Fine, where are you right now? What time will your flight land? Send me the details . I will come and pick you up", Mike said and picked up a paper and pen to jot the details .Mike was really worried for Akira . He knew her sister was just showing a brave face to him, but deep down he knew that she was crumbling from inside ."Eat something ok . Please will you? For my sake? Please take care of yourself Aki" .Mike was literally choking up . If he could have, he would have punched that moron in his face right now . But now all that he could do was to calm his sister down ."I will, I promise . It's almost time for me to board . I have mailed you my flight details . Will keep the call now Mike . Love Love", said Akira and disconnected the call .After her call with Mike, Akira felt a bit ok . At least she had someone upon whom she could lean on . She grabbed her bag and came out of the washroom . She was too tired, jetlagged and broken . All she wanted was to board the flight and sort her thoughts out .She went to the information panel and started re-checking her Boarding gate number . It was gate number 19 . She kept staring at the screen and suddenly she felt a pang of pain deep inside . Today was 19th April, Anthony's birthday . And suddenly she couldn't move . She was still staring at the screen like she was dazed or something .She got startled with the buzzing sound of her phone . It was Mike ."Did you reach your boarding gate?", Mike asked ."Yeah I am just about to . Will call you once I land ok? Love Love . " Akira said and returned back from her thoughts . She started towards her gate . As the boarding hadn't started she decided to take a seat near the Gate . She started reading the new texts sent by Anthony ."Listen, this is not the way you should behave ok? It's a small thing . ""I just kissed her, that's it . We didn't do anything else . I swear on you . And it was just a Birthday Kiss . ""Just tell me where you are?""Pick up the phone damn it"Akira didn't cry this time . Rather she started typing a text message for Anthony ."Hi Anthony . It's totally fine . I am totally fine . I came here to surprise you for your birthday . But now I feel it was un-necessary . Anyways it's mandatory that I give you a gift, after all you are the birthday boy . Since I was in too much rush to leave your place I couldn't give the gift I had prepared . But now I have another gift for you . "After finally getting a text from Akira, Anthony frantically started typing ."I don't need any gift babe . Just come back to me . "But the reply from Akira came as a shock to him ."Let's break up . I am setting you free . That's my gift for you . ""Let's break up . I am setting you free . That's my gift for you . "Before Anthony could reply anything he was blocked from everywhere . W******p, Contacts and even F******k . Then Akira opened his contact details on her phone and after looking at his contact number for almost 10 seconds, she pressed DELETE .Related chapters

She was still looking at her phone when a flight attendant came to her and asked,"Miss, are you flying by China Southern Airlines to JFK?""Oh yes . ""Ma'am please come and board the flight . It's almost the end of the final call .May I have your boarding pass please?"Akira handed her the boarding pass and got up from her seat ."Ma'am please follow this way . "The flight attendant could sense that there was something wrong with her . So she decided to escort her till her seat inside the flight . She took her to the business class section and helped her sit at her seat number 5 .It was Akira's first time traveling business class . Had it been any other day she would have been super excited . Probably would have clicked pictures and would have shared with her friends . But today it was different for her . Nothing mattered . All that she wanted to do was to reach home as soon as possible .Akira slumped into her seat and started looking out of the window . She could only see the p

Raymond slowly finished his coffee and walked toward Gate number 19 . Boarding was just starting and as he was a Business class passenger, he went in ASAP . He kept his laptop out and stowed his bag . He again immersed himself into his laptop, planning new strategies as to how to poach in new investors .The flight was about to take off . Raymond was really glad to see the seat to his left empty . He really hated when people snored around him . Since it was a 23 hours flight he just wanted to relax . He was just about to hibernate his laptop as per the takeoff protocol when he saw a flight attendant escorting the girl with whom he had the coffee spilling encounter today .She looked pretty distant and broken . She looked tired too . There was something about her that drew his attention . Something very sincere . She looked very frail and sank into her seat immediately . Then she started looking out of the windowRaymond was shocked to find himself drawn towards her ."What is wrong wi

"Ma'am, please have some water and tissues . ""Oh, thanks !!!"It was then that Akira realized she was making herself too obvious . She was a self-made woman and hated when people pitied her . She had to regain herself . She gave the attendant a faint smile and gulped the entire water bottle . Then she took a wet wipe from her purse and cleaned her entire face . Next she frantically started searching for a mirror in her purse and finally found it . The moment she held the mirror in front of her face, she went in shock . The very instant she screamed - "No way!!!"Meanwhile, Raymond was watching her activities . Suddenly his whole focus was on her . The moment he heard her scream, he couldn't help but chuckle . Yes, there was a smile on his face, God knows after how many days .Akira took a deep breath and picked up a couple of things from her bag . A comb, a scrunchie, and a lip balm and rushed to the washroom . She fixed her hair into a neat ponytail and just dabbed a bit of lip bal

The flight attendant had handed her a small box of few assorted chocolates . By the time she could ask or say anything she had left to serve chocolates to other people who were still awake . It was her first-time flying in business class and she had no idea whether the chocolates were complementary or chargeable like a mini-bar of a hotel room . She was feeling too embarrassed to call the attendant back and ask her about it . She was too hungry and badly wanted to eat them, but didn't want to pile on any extra bills in case . She looked around and saw the guy next to her ripping off his chocolate packet up and was about to eat one .So she mustered up some courage and asked,"Excuse me !!!""Um . . . hi . This is my first time traveling in business class, so actually, I wanted to ask . Um… are these chocolates chargeable?"Raymond was surprised when he heard her voice . He paused for a while and said ."No, they are complementary . ""Really!!" She exclaimed .Before Raymond could say

Akira looked at him all perplexed . His sly smile made her feel even weird . It was like she was running out of luck . "What are the odds?" , she thought . She left a gasp of air but the guilt was starting to build up . Seeing the shadow of guilt all over her face, Raymond started feeling bad . The smug smile that he had on his face started retracting . He paused for a moment and then said,"Don't overthink . It's nothing serious . Plus it wasn't deliberate" . She didn't say a word and started looking down ."I should have walked more carefully" . He added .Akira gave him a faint smile and said,"Um, you can keep this ointment with you and apply it again after 8 hours . If you apply regularly then it won't cause any scarring . " And she handed him the ointment . She thought of clarifying herself that she was in a rush and didn't see him at all . But then she didn't want to pile on her reasons . He seemed like a busy guy so she thought maybe it's better that she didn't waste his time

Akira couldn't understand what just happened, but somehow she was grateful . He seemed like a nice guy . Had it been any other guy she would have definitely considered him as a creep . There was something different about him . She couldn't figure out what but she found his presence very comforting ."Thanks . I was actually a bit cold" . She said and smiled a bit ."It's fine . Sleep well" . Raymond said and took out his blanket and covered himself . He closed his eyes off and pretended to sleep while his mind was busy re-processing what had happened a couple of minutes back . His heart was racing and his ears were burning up . His mind was wandering off and he couldn't wipe off her image from his head . He let out a gasp of air and tried to calm himself .Akira slipped into the warm embrace of the blanket . She wasn't able to understand how a stranger could be so caring and comforting but the one person upon whom she showered all her love and attention, stabbed her in the back so mer

She stood there like she was glued to the floor . Her eyes couldn't believe what just happened in front of her . He had told her that he was returning back in the morning . And here he was playing with a blondie . She felt like she was nothing for him, meant nothing to him .Anthony was shocked to see her at his place . He immediately released his grip around the blondie and ran towards Akira . He tried to hold her arms and explain the situation to her but the moment he touched her hands, she took a step back and shook her head . She didn't want to hear about any explanations, she didn't want to hear anything at all . She felt like she had made a fool of herself .She held her tears at bay . She took her purse and dashed out . He ran behind her but before he could catch her she was already seated in a taxi . He pounded on the taxi door but she sat inside nonchalantly . The driver asked her a couple of times as where she wanted to go, but she had no destination in her mind . She had no

Every minute felt like ages to her . Restless within she again started fiddling with her entertainment unit . She flipped through all the movies but didn't like any . She moved to the TV show section . She didn't even feel like watching her favorite sitcom Friends now . Her mood was sour enough . She tossed and turned in her seat from time to time . She tried hard to fall asleep but all her attempts were unsuccessful .She then glanced at the passenger to her side . He was sleeping at his seat . He looked super peaceful and composed while he was asleep . She kept on admiring him . His long sharp nose, fierce eyebrows were the stark features of his face . She hadn't blinked even once and suddenly she felt he was returning her gaze . His eyes were open, his brows twitched a bit as if trying to form a question mark . She was thoroughly embarrassed . She looked away instantly and then again looked at him again like he was pulling her towards him . His lips curved a bit for a gentle smile

Akira was waiting anxiously at the reception of Delphi office at Brooklyn . Even though she was an academically brilliant student, she was still feeling very nervous . She was biting her nails and was shuffling through her resume every now and then . She had to make it through because a source of steady income was really important for her right now apart from industry experience .Akira was wearing a turquoise blue formal shirt and a grey pencil skirt . The whole attire made her look very sharp and poised . She was wearing black kitten heels because she knew that normal heels were not her forte .The receptionist looked at her kindly and smiled because she had seen many such nervous candidates who would be panicking to their maximum, before the interview .

She wore matching sneakers to complement her look . She had her hair in loose curls and was looking nothing less than a pretty peach .When she opened the door, she found Vikram holding a bouquet of baby's breath which was Akira's favorite thing in the world . He was dressed in casuals but still looked like a fashion model who has jumped straight out of a catalog .She immediately beamed with happiness and grabbed the flowers from his hands ."For me!!!?", she asked innocently with Bambi eyes ."No, it's for Mike," Vikram said in a sarcastic tone and rolled his eyes ."You are so sweet Vikram," said Akira and rushed to hug him, but unfortunately she stumbled because of the door-mat and fell straight into Vikram's arms . His arms embraced her like a safety net and he hauled her back quickly so that she didn't fall .

Raymond was very excited after getting the deal at first . But all his happiness turned into sour curd after listening to Vikram's condition . He was enraged because the entire deal felt like a sham . It felt like he gave the deal to them because in return he wanted his special person to be employed in his company . All the hard work which he had put along with his entire team was nullified because of that one single clause which Vikram had verbally put in their contract .His entire project team was celebrating . Finally, all the hard work, all the sleepless nights and the numerous cup of coffees had paid off . But his insides were dying out of humiliation . He felt like Vikram has kicked his brainchild project off to a far field . He was unable to control his rage because he was unable to accept that the value of his project was nothing as compared to this person whom Vikram wanted to be hired . He might have signed the contract with a pen on a paper but only he knew that it felt li

Vikram went to his room and called up Raymond .Raymond was shocked to see Vikram calling on his personal number late in the evening . He sensed that it must be related to his special request for the project . He picked it up ."Hello, Mr . Vikram . ""Hello, Mr . Raymond . Is it a good time to talk?", asked Vikram with an air of authority ."Yes please", replied Raymond ."The person about whom I had talked to you about would be sending you an application tomorrow . Make sure that she is interviewed and all the procedures are followed as usual . ""No problem . I will make sure its all easy for her . Don't worry we will have internship letter ready . All the protocols will be followed for namesake," Raymond said .When Vikram heard Raymond speak he could sense that there was a sort of contempt and sarcasm in his tone which he didn't like ."Let me make something clear Mr . Raymond . The person whom I am referring here is capable enough to clear all formalities herself . She doesn't n

Akira was all groggy with a splitting headache when she woke up . Then she saw Advil tablet and a bottle of water next to her on the side table . She thanked her stars and immediately swallowed the medicine . Then she picked up her phone from her handbag and saw multiple missed calls and messages from an unknown number from Singapore . She immediately understood that it was Anthony as she had blocked his original number so she went ahead and blocked his number again .Just then her screen flashed-"Are you up?" . It was a message from Vikram ."Yeah, how was I yesterday? I troubled you all again yesterday, didn't I?," replied Akira ."A bit, but I don't mind as long as you treat me with ice cream," said Vikram .

They all started laughing at his childish behavior .Teddy dismissed them all and said - " I am respecting Vikram's gesture by eating more ok !!!"Vikram laughed and added three beer and one ice tea to the order . Akira knew that the ice tea was meant for her . Vikram knew that Akira had low alcohol tolerance so whenever they used to go out he would always order some mocktail for her ."Can I have a beer today Vikram?" she asked in a coy tone ."Are you nuts?", asked Vikram . "Have you forgotten what you did on my last birthday? You destroyed my sweater and I miss it, man . That was one of my favorites for your kind information and FYI you have already ruined my shirt just a few moments before . I am not letting you ruin anything anymore," said Vikram and shook his head ."Please please, I promise I will behave,"
