Jen's here. I'm so relieved and relaxed right now. I was so disturbed the whole day about the bullshit thing I dreamt today. I'm glad she thought of coming here. Atleast I'll get to see her before I leave for Great Britain. I get up from my chair and wait for her. What's taking her so long? I stand at the window and look outside.

Just then, I hear the door unlocking and it pivots open. And there she is. Jen walks in, shutting the door behind her. Her appearance gushed serenity all over my body. She walks towards me and I walk towards her. I kiss her as soon as I reach her. That dream felt so real for a moment. It felt like I really lost Jen. But no, she's here. It's just a dream. I pull back and she gazes me for a good few seconds.

"Is everything okay?" She says. Her eyes searching for answers in mine.

She has felt that something's wrong. What do I do? Should I tell her about the dream? But if I won't, it's just going to eat me alive. I need to talk to her about this. I take her hand and we take a seat on the couch in my cabin.

"Nothing," I shake my head. "It's just that, I had a dream this morning, in which you get lost in the crowds and I couldn't find you. I call out your name and you don't answer me. It's just so unsettling and disturbing. It scared me."

She furrows her brows and smiles, "dreams don't come true," she says, so calmly and softly.

"Mine does, I think. After the first time we met, I dreamt of you and on the same day I met you again at Aon. So you see, my dream came true."

"Yeah....I mean, dreams come true, but only the good ones not the bad ones. Nightmares never happen in real life. And..... I know I'm wrong about this whole concept," she giggles. I laugh too.

"But stay and think positive is the motto," she shrugs.

"You're so bad at comforting and consoling others and you know that right?" I smile.

She pouts and nods. And bursts out laughing. We both do.

"How come you're here today?" I ask.

"I just wanted to say bye before you leave."

"I wanted it too, but I thought that it won't be possible. But see you made it here." I grin. She smiles too.

"Who all are going?" She queries.

"All of us."

She hums at my reply. Just then there's a hit on the door.

"Yes, come in," I say.

The door opens and Samantha steps in.

"Sir, the jet is ready," Samantha informs.

"Yeah, okay," I mutter.

Samantha leaves, closing the door and jen stands up.

"Okay then, I'll leave now," says Jen. She puts her arms around my neck and hugs me. I grab her too, and bury my face in her neck. She smells incredible.

"Fly safe, text me when you land and come back soon," she says, her voice is soft and low. "I love you," she kisses my cheek and draws back from my grip. "Bye," she smiles, turns around and leaves.

I stand there silently and watch her leave. I couldn't say bye to her. I just didn't wanted to. Why is this so disturbing? I didn't like her saying goodbye to me. It's maybe because of the dream. It's affecting me so much. But one thing I've realised here is, that she loves me unconditionally and I feel myself so lucky that I found her------ My phone buzzes, I check, it's my Father.

"Yes, dad," I answer the call.

"We left home and we're on the way," says dad from another side.
