THE UNEXPECTED SURPRISES

                                    

                                          
KEERTHANA 
                          
All of us were waiting in the airport. Morning 9:30 AM flight. We were waiting for our plane. I asked Nandita to join us but she was reluctant. Fine. Our guide was giving a signal that the flight has come. We were 10 of us. Along with us, twenty people came. I was not myself.
                          
That guy, he said that he will reveal himself. I was waiting for him. I got nervous. "Hey Keerthana, are you okay?" Pravin asked. "You are not yourself. Are you not happy with the tour?" 
"Nothing like that Pravin. Headache from morning."
                          
We were waiting at the entrance of the way in which you go inside the flight ( I don't know what you call it ). The guide was making a last check. "Just 29. What about the last one. His name is...." 
                          
"Krish Yadav." I was terrified. My legs were rooted to the place where I stood. Is it really him? I was dumbstruck. 
                          
I did not turn to look at him. He walked past me and addressed the guide. My head was bent down and I looked at him. He was the same. Did not change a bit.
                          
The same height, weight and everything. I couldn't believe it. Everyone entered the flight. Aishu gave a jerk and I came back to my senses. He already went inside and I went inside too. 
                          
The air hostess greeted me with a smile and told where is my seat. She pointed the direction with her fingers and it showed the seat which was next to him. Krish.
                          
I immediately went to Pravin and asked him to exchange his seat with mine. "Are you mad? Aishu is sitting next to you. We already planned not to change our seats. Are you scared about that guy?" He asked me looking at Krish.
                          
"Yes. I am not feeling comfortable." I said. 
"Did he do you something?" He immediately got off from his seat with some anger.
"No. But still, I am not comfortable." I said.
                          
"But.." 
"Ma'am. The flight is going to take off. Can you please take your seat?" The air hostess asked me politely.
                          
I went to my seat and found Aishu sitting in the extreme corner. Krish was sitting in the window seat. He was smiling at me.
                          
I know I can't protest now because the air hostess was coming to me. I sat in between them and tied my belt. 
5 hrs 20 minutes. It's a connecting flight and it halts in Delhi. 
                          
There was an awkward silence. I was not able to do anything. Krish. The person I tried to forget. The person  whom I hated the most. He was sitting next to me. 
                          
Oh my God.  This Aishwarya is next to me. I hope he is not talking with me. He was smiling at me.at times and scrolled his phone. It's been one hour since he started doing it. Oh God!!! Nothing should happen.
                          
VIKRAM 
                          
I was sitting inside my camp and was looking at my childhood photos. I was looking at all the pictures and stopped to look at that picture. It was him. Krish. He was my neighbour in my childhood.
                          
He was our neighbour for just 5 years but we were so thick friends. I used to see this picture where me and him were posing for a photo with our arms on each other. 
                          
His father got a transfer and he went to Banglore. We almost cried before parting ways. I want to meet him actually. I lost his contact on the middle but he somehow found my number and talked with me. I heard he went to USA for job. We revealed many things about our current life. He was still a bachelor. The fact is that I never revealed him that I got married. He used to tease me.Wish I meet him.
                          
KRISH YADAV 
                          
Keerthana. The girl who I admire till now. She was looking more beautiful now than I have known her in college. She was actually shocked to see me. True. How can a person be without shock when he or she sees a dead person sitting next to them?
                          
She thought that I died. The fact is that everyone thought I died. I was resurrected by God. I want to give her a shocking re-entry after these many years. 
                          
Talking about Kashmir, Vicky came into my mind. After the accident, I somehow got his phone number and started talking to him. My favourite childhood buddy. I did not tell him about the accident for I don't want those horrible events again to be remembered. 
                          
I wanted to surprise him by telling him that I am here once I reach there. I am surprising everyone here. Oh man.

Hey my dear readers, really sorry for the late update. Now here comes the new entrant Krish Yadav. He is a surprising man with so much of surprises to give you in future. He is now related in both ways to Keerthana and Vikram. How are they gonna find out the connection between them?
