MaAn: Destined To Be Together

44. SURPRISE

Anu reached San Francisco's Airport. She was pretty hesitant but her flight was all good, by listening to music, watching old movies and not sleeping to avoid jetlag. Though her eyes were full of sleep but Anuj already told her about how to handle jetlag from his own experience. So she took only an hour's nap in the beginning. Afterwards she was feeling sleepy but avoiding sleep. She collected her luggage and put it on the trolley. Straightaway went to buy a simcard which will be valid here. She had dollars already as she exchanged the rupees into dollars from Ahemdabad's airport. She bought the simcard and first called her parents.

- hello....

- hello Anuuuu....

- jii papa ye maine naya number liya yaha se....

- Anu tu theek se pahoch gayi na?!

- jii maa.... Ekdum ache se landing ho gayi thi.... Vahi batane ke liye phone kiya.... *Yawn* 🥱

Then she sent her live location to her papa and dialed Anuj's number.

- hello Anuj.... Mai Anupama bol rahi hu....

~ Chal Anu.... Ab taxi bhi leni hai.... Gurukul jaate hi so jaungi.... Ab mujhse aankhe nahi kholi jaa rahi....

Anu went outside the airport to look after the taxi.
She was moving towards the taxi stand. Someone suddenly came in front of her with a red rose bouquet.

~ WELCOME TO AMERICA MY LADY LOVE....

With this suddeness, she shrieked loudly and closed her eyes.

~ AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.... CCCCCHHHHHOOOORRRRRRR....

He holded her from shoulders.

~ Anu.... Anu open your eyes.... It's me Anuj.... Anu ka Anuj.... One and only yours Anuj....
