ROYAL HIGHNESS

08. Can We Meet?

"Ms. Aisha, kya aap thodi der ke liye shaant baithegi?" (Ms. Aisha, can you be silent for a while?) He spoke out when he thought that he couldn't tolerate her anymore. She opened her mouth to argue but he beated her to it.

"Look, mujhe cheekna, chillana, ladai karna pasand nahi! Jab se hum mile hai, tum mujhe hazaaron naam de chuki ho. Maine kuch kaha nahi. Aur you are disturbing me continuously! I can't tolerate you anymore." (Look, I don't like screaming, shouting, quarreling! Ever since we met, you have given me thousands of names. I haven't said anything. And youare disturbing me continuously! I can't tolerate you anymore.)

"Oh hello, She said sarcastically

you are the one who trespassed. So, shut it out!" He didn't even let her speak nd responded in a serious voice"I didn't take any actions before, but I can now!" He warned her.

"Just Shut Up!!!" She screamed.

Before they could continue their debate further, the air hostess interrupted them.

"Sir, madam. Kindly sort your fight out in your house and do not disturb other's privacy." They both glared at the air hostess and rolled their eyes.

They didn't speak a word all the way to Mumbai. Their face contorted with rage as they passed frustrated gazes to each other from time to time. The tension was so thick in the air, you could practically cut it through the knife. Finally, as the plane touched down, they part their ways, the anger still in the air.

Ovie was currently sitting in the VIP lounge of the airport waiting for Rudr to pick her up. But Rudr was late because of an unresolved issue in the agency. He had texted her, informing her that he would be late.

"Iam listening to your songs. They are wonderful just like you!"

(She smiled seeing Advait's text. These past days, they had become closer and were on texting terms now.)

"Thank you!"

He goes on appreciating her movies, songs, her talent and the efforts that she had put in it. But she just replied in monosyllables every time. She checked the time and start drumming her fingers impatiently. She was waiting for Rudr, so she didn't concentrate much towards texting Advait.

"What's up with you?" Advait asked her as if he sensed her boredom through her texts.

She explained him where she was and Rudr would be late to pick her up and all. She was so engrossed in texting with Advait. About ten minutes later, her attention was caught by a group of bodyguards coming into the lounge. At first she thought that Rudr had finally came to pick her up. But the bodyguards looked unfamiliar and they looked much stiffer than her bodyguards. She was pondering over it when her gaze fell upon a familiar man entering the lounge and she got her answers.

"Tum yahan kaise?" (How are you here?) She asked astonished.

"Itni pretty girl wait kare, yeh mujhse saha nahi jata!" (I can't tolerate making a pretty girl wait!) Advait said dramatically, flirting with her. She shook head smiling at him.

"Accha ji, toh aap mujhe lene aaye hai?" (Yeah, so you came to pick me up?) She asked raising her brows. . . .

"Aise hi kuch samjho!" (Think as you want!) He shrugged and Ovie gave him a serious look. He understood what she wanted to convey. He knew that she hated taking help fromm someone else who isn't close to her.
