He grabbed her by hands and pulled her to the side in swift motion.
"What the h-", he placed his fingers on her lips silencing her squeal. She stared at him in shock, her eyes a whirlwind of emotions.
"Before you say something else, I need to know...

Haider looked at Tehreem, she had taken the window seat in the flight. She put on some music and was tuning into some music. He decided to watch a movie to get rid of time. He felt a tap on his shoulder, and he removed his headphones.
"Do you want some lays?" asked Tehreem and Haider looked at her with a questioning look and she rolled her eyes
"Do you want it nor not? Simple question: not rocket science," said Tehreem
"Yes" said Haider and Tehreem nodded
She took out a packet and started eating it. Haider was engrossed in the movie and would take the chips occasionally substituting it for popcorn. He absentmindedly put his hand in the packet, and he hit her hand. He looked at her and she casually took a bit and resumed her business
"How much time more? It has already been 3 hours" said Tehreem and Haider gave her questioning look
"What? Why are you looking at me like that" asked Tehreem
"It's a 4-hour flight Tehreem and I too want to just reach there at this point, I'm also in the same flight as you are sitting with you, I'm also exhausted" said Haider and Tehreem rolled her eyes and she resumed watching a web series episode
The pilot announced that the flight is going to land shortly, and Tehreem started to pack her stuff. She fastened her seatbelt and was relieved that it is over at last.
"Tehreem, Cam you please keep my tablet in your bag? My bag is in the top and I cannot take it now" said Haider and Tehreem was hesitant
"Ok, give me" said Tehreem hesitantly and kept his tablet in her bag. The flight started to descend, and the airport was visible
"Stay with me" said Haider and Tehreem rolled her eyes
"Haider I'm not a small kid" said Tehreem annoyed and Haider ignored what she had said. The flight had landed, and they were getting out the flight. Haider took his bag and Tehreem was wearing her backpack.
They reached outside and walked into the airport. Haider texted his parents that they reached the airport. He felt Tehreem is not beside him and he looked sideways and saw Tehreem not there. He saw her admiring the structure of the airport.
Tehreem felt someone holding her hand, she turned angrily to find an annoyed and Angry Haider staring at her and holding her hands tight. Tehreem rolled her eyes as her default response, and he pulled her towards him.
"I told you to stay with me and you were like you aren't a kid but then why do I have to look after you like a kid, were you always this childish?" asked Haider and Tehreem rolled her eyes
"Not as Childish as the guy who married his ex's sister to shove it in her face because he was heartbroken and angry for no reason, also didn't think about the aftermath of his actions" said Tehreem and Haider was annoyed, but both knew that was the truth
