𝐌𝐀𝐇𝐈 : HIS LITTLE WOMAN

3. Back to India

One Month Later :

At around midnight, a plane landed at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, in which many passengers got out one by one, while at the end a girl wearing a light blue business suit and wearing black goggles got down from the plane.

As soon as the girl takes her first step on the sacred land of India, a gust of cold wind gently touches her cheeks, due to which she stops for a moment. For that girl, the touch of the cool breeze was as if someone had welcomed her lovingly by caressing her cheek.

A lovely smile spreads on the girl's lips and she says softly to herself : “Aap mera humare desh me swaagat kar rahin hain, hain na Maa.”

Saying this, she removed her black goggles from her eyes and there was moisture in her beautiful dark eyes, she looked towards the sky and said : “Janati hun aapne mujhe bahut miss kiya hoga aur gussa bhi hogi, aapse itne samay se main milane jo nahin aayi. Lekin main aapse milne jarur aaungi.”

“Aur Thank You, Maa...! Mujhe apna pyaar mehasus karane ke liye.” While saying this last line, there was an untold pain in her eyes, perhaps she wanted to live the love she was feeling.

The girl was wandering in her thoughts while looking towards the sky when suddenly someone placed her hand gently on that girl's shoulder from behind and said : “Are you fine, Mahi...?”

Feeling someone's touch and hearing a familiar voice, Mahi, lost in the moments spent with herself and her mother, comes back to her senses and turns back, hiding the tears in her eyes.

Priya was standing right behind her, she was looking carefully into Mahi's eyes as if she was understanding her pain very well.

The same Mahi, hiding her pain, said with a fake smile on her lips : “Mujhe kya hoga? Main toh bilkul thik hun.”

After saying this, Mahi starts looking here and there, then Priya turns her face towards herself and asks : “Tuh aunty ko yaad kar rahi thi naa, han....!”

As soon as Priya asks this, Mahi is unable to control her emotions and her eyes become moist again, seeing which Priya hugs Mahi and caressing her back she says : “Isliye main nahin chahati thi ki tuh India aaye aur tere voh jakhm fir se tujhe takleef de.”

“Main thik hun Priya, bas Maa ki kuch yaadein aur unke saath bitaye kuch pal meri aankhon ke saamne aa gaye the. Bas isiliye....” Mahi moving away from her said further  : “Meri aankhein thodi nam ho gayi thi.”

Priya did not say anything on this and kept looking at Mahi because she knew very well that Mahi had become expert in hiding her pain and suffering, so she thought it better not to say anything.

On the other hand, Riyansh was on the roof of his office building, at this time he was standing slightly bent forward with both his hands resting on the railing, his amber eyes were shining in the darkness of the night, his face was absolutely calm and serious.

Then suddenly a cold gust of wind caressed his cheeks and disappeared somewhere.

Riyansh didn't know why but he felt someone's fragrance in the air, someone's presence, he closed his eyes slowly and placed one of his hands near his heart which was beating very fast.

A deep smile spread on his lips which was making his handsome face very attractive and by now he had realized why his heart was beating so fast and for whom it was beating.

So he whispered to himself : “SO YOU HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED, CHHOTI WOMAN”

“WELCOME BACK YOUR COUNTRY.... YOUR REAL HOME"
