Nidha's POV:

Yesterday was nerve-racking. After my altercation with Mr. Gupta, I was anxious to leave my room. It's not that I was scared nor was I wrong, it just felt wrong. Even though I've been verbally abused and neglected all my life, never have I talked back to any elder. But yesterday, I broke that rule for Vyom. And for him, I'd do it all over again. 

As for today, I skipped breakfast and snuck out of the house early in the morning, and went straight to the office. I wanted to avoid awkwardness during breakfast. I didn't even get to see Vyom before I left. 

Because I got to work early, I finished all my files before anybody even stepped into the office. Bored out of my mind, I pull out my phone. 

Nidha: Hey, Oldie, how was it waking up without me? 🤔

I stare at the phone expecting an immediate response but my message is left on 'sent'. Seconds turn into minutes and minutes turn into hours but I don't get any reply from Vyom. 

'How dare he not even look at my message all day!' I fume in anger. Annoyed I finish up my tasks for the day, but my attention is solely focused on my phone. 

"Dr. Nidha!" Banni rushes into my office. "We have a medical emergency airport!" She stops at my desk out of breath. 

"Calm down Banni. Why would I go to the airport, they can just call an ambulance." I ask her confused. 

"No no." She vigorously shakes her head. "It's a company emergency. You have to go right NOW!"

The urgency in her voice alarms me and I quickly grab my stuff and head towards the elevator. Making my way downstairs, there's already a car waiting for me. 

The drive feels short and we arrive at the airplane hangar quickly. I get out of the car and look around. I realize when Banni said 'airport' she didn't mean a public airport but a personal airport for private jets. 

'Of course, the Guptas have their own airport' I snark to myself seeing the big GUPTA board on the side of the fence. 

The driver leads me to a jet and points at the stairs. Carefully, I make my way upstairs, the air hostess gives me a smile and leads me to the back of the jet. 

I look around confused, for a plane with a sick patient, everyone is way too calm. 

Reaching the seats, I see someone sitting with their back towards me. I firm my grip on my bag and make my over to the figure. Getting to the mysterious man, I stop dead in my tracks seeing his face. 

"Surprise!" The man smiles widely at me. 

"Vyom? What is happening??" I say confused seeing him here. 

He doesn't say anything but motions to the air hostess who closes the jet's door. The seatbelt sign goes on and the crew starts getting to work. 

I return my gaze to Vyom and raise my eyebrow at him. 

"Hey sit down, we are going to take off." He pulls me and makes me sit down beside him. He intertwines our fingers and smiles while holding my hand as if I was going to run away. 

"Vyom can you tell me what the fuck is going on??" I question him annoyed. 

"Ouch, those dirty words don't sound good on you." He hisses. "You've working so hard, I figured you deserve a little vacation to Switzerland." He runs his thumb over my hand. "Plus we haven't gone on our honeymoon yet." He winks at me. 

His words turn me into a tomato, as the mention of a honeymoon is enough to make me blush. "I don't know what you're talking about..." I turn away from him looking out the window. 

His fingers trace onto my cheek and he hooks 2 fingers onto my chin. He uses his fingers to turn my face towards him. "Don't be coy." He bids his lips together biting down on them. "You very well know what a honeymoon is." His gaze is fixated on my face. 

I stare back into his eyes, my brain feeling too weak to break the contact.

An air hostess passes by interrupting our moment. I clear my throat and back away. "I know what a honeymoon is, but who said I want to celebrate it with you?" I smirk at him. I slid my hand out of his and return my gaze out the window. 

I can't help but smile as my stomach flips with excitement about this trip. The past couple of months with Vyom have been an absolute dream. As much as I loved my time in Canada, my time since getting married has definitely been some of the best moments of my life. 

Vyom keeps me happy and makes me feel respected. In turn, I feel like I could burn the world for him. Just like how he is for me, I want to be there for him, for every moment he feels unwanted, every time someone hurts him, I want to be there right behind him, hand in hand so that he knows he has someone. 

Maybe it's because we both grew up unwanted or the fact that both of us understand each other. Regardless of the reason, the truth is that I care for Vyom. 

I've never been in love but if someone were to describe it, I hope they would describe exactly what I feel for Vyom. 

The seatbelt sign soon goes off and we still have another 8 hours before we reach Switzerland. 

I undo my seatbelt and feel a weight on my shoulder. I turn to see Vyom's head on my shoulder. 

"By the way, waking up without you was horrible Kiddo. I never want to do it again." He closes his eyes and hooks his arm onto my elbow. 

Be it the altitude or his word but billions of butterflies go up in my stomach.
