Yudhi [# A Love Story - Completed]

Arohi - Part 10

I landed at Newark International airport from Texas and scanned the gate information for continental flight leaving to San Fran. I had only a small hand luggage with me. Kim and Karuna were travelling later in the day, with my full luggage to San Fran from Texas and I would have to meet up with them at the airport before running into my parents.

I missed on my beauty sleep to take care of this and now I hate him more. After clearing security, I moved slowly towards my gate, scanning the crowds for Yudhi. I reached the preboarding lounge and scanned the crowds for a geek, but couldn’t find him. I was not used to wearing short skirts or low cut tops and was aware of the dirty looks I was getting. It was making me uncomfortable.

Even though I couldn’t find Yudhi anywhere in the lounge, I spotted a cute looking Indian guy, who was of course checking me out. I decided to go and sit by him, while I wait for Yudhi. Actually I decided to flirt a little with the guy once Yudhi shows up.

I settled down in the chair opposite to him and felt his gaze slowly undressing me.

“Jeez!! I felt like a slut, showing my wares.”

Looks like he was going to make a move, bit I wanted him to wait till Yudhi shows up. So I took out my phone and called mom.

“Ma!! Did you get any call from Yudhi? Did he reach Newark yet from Bombay?” I couldn’t give my location.

“Wow!! How come you are worried about Yudhi?” I could imagine my mom rolling her eyes.

“Nah! Just wanted to make sure everything is fine with the tickets we booked.”

“Don’t worry, he landed safely and must be getting ready to board the flight to SF.”

“OK, no worries. See you soon.”

I then called Kim.

“Hey, thanks for making me slut of the day. I feel like I am roaming naked here. Also can’t find Yudhi  any where, but found a really cute guy. I may run away with him, so let my parents know.” I whispered as I didn’t want the hot guy sitting opposite me to hear my conversation.

“Hey..Hey.. no running away. Remember the cute guy belongs to me and you stay focused on Yudhi.” Kim commanded me. “Just be patient, he must be roaming around the book stalls. Go and check the shops.”

“I am not going anywhere until the hot guy moves. Yudhi has to pass me to go through those gates, so I will keep watch from here. OK, looks like the boarding process is going to start soon, I will call you later. Thanks for all the help, Uhh! I love you.”

Time was running out, still I couldn’t find Yudhi.

For a second, I thought, maybe he has changed a lot and I am looking for the wrong description, but the picture I saw was clearly etched in my mind and I already accounted for changes, but there was no one even close to that description in the lounge.

I heard the boarding announcement and the hot guy got up and hesitated and then left immediately.

For a second, I thought he was going to ask my number and of course I would have given it to him. I couldn’t really concentrate on him, because I was really tense looking for Yudhi. I thought at least he is on the same flight as me and I can try to catch him later, once I deal with Yudhi.

They were going to close the gate, so I boarded the plane.

My plan failed as Yudhi failed to materialize.

I stepped inside and looked for my seat, but looks like it was occupied. As I went closer my heart started beating rapidly. The hot guy was sitting in Yudhi’s seat.
