Why are you crying?" A small voice said.

I looked down to see a boy around 6-7 years. My hands automatically went to my wet cheeks. I didn't even realized that I was standing in the middle of airport and crying like a baby. I quickly wipe the tears.

He was really a cute guy with big sea blue eyes and blond hairs which were looking too perfect with his too pale skin. He was wearing khaki pant and green shirt.

I smiled at the boy and kneeled down to get myself at his height.

"I'm missing my family" I told the little guy the truth.

"Ohhh" He said thoughtfully. Obviously, having to many questions roaming in his little head.

"Don't you think these girls will be jealous of me" I said taking him completely off-guard and glancing at the airport crowd.

He gave me a cute questioning look and asked,"Why?"

"Well,I'm talking to a very handsome boy here"

He blushed furiously causing me to chuckle.

"Hey,you wanna chocolate?" I asked him.

He nodded his head vigorously. I always kept some chocolates in my handbag for Pooja.

"Here" I said handling him chocolate.

"Kevin!!" A high-pitched voice shouted.

I looked up to found a young lady I guess his mother called him. He looked at his mother, thanked me and ran off.

I shook my head and headed towards the exit searching my name on the boards.

I saw a lady and a man holding my name board. They both were in there early twenties. The guy leaned on the lady's shoulder but the lady jerked off his head by her shoulder and gave him a warning glare but he gave her a innocent smile to which she rolled her eyes. The guy really look pretty tired. They really make a cute couple.

I walked towards them but before I could say anything they recognized me.

"Oh. Hi,you must be Neha" The lady asked.

I smiled and nodded.

"Thank God" The guy murmured under his breath.

Ooops! Looks like they have waited for long time.

"I'm Ella.Ella Smith" The lady said taking the hand out for a handshake. I shake hands with her and nodded while memorizing her name.

"I'm Jacob. This beautiful lady's husband" He said glancing towards Ella.

"Oh,husband n wife uh" I said teasingly.

"Any doubt" He said putting his arm around Ella's waist and pulling her towards himself.

I chuckled and shook my head as a small blush made its way on Ella's cheeks.

We walked towards the car. To my surprise,the car was a regular one not some BMW or something. I shrugged and seated back. The drive wasn't that boring as Ella and Jacob made small talk with me

I was always pampered from birth. To be the only girl in whole family keeps you far away from common life. I was dieing to have a common life.

To do saving from your salary. To bargain. To eat the streetfood to make your saving more strong. To save your pocket money with your siblings to buy a gift on parents anniversary. To fight over remote control. To do window shopping. To love a dress but after seeing the price tag crunching your nose and saying 'Naah..its not that good'. To go out with friends for camping in forest and to beat yourself whole night due to mosquito biting. To be mad at parents for saying NO to a thing that they have already said yes.
