Suddenly , the red light in the cabin started glowing and beeping like the horn of an ambulance. All of them looked around in confusion. The Manager quickly went outside to the control room while the Obros waited in the main airport.
Now all lights in the control room were also beeping and creating confusion in the minds of the passengers. After some time, the Manager came out and,
Shivaay," What happened here ? Why are the lights like this ? Is something wrong?"
Manager," Yes , the flight 1208 to Delhi has been hijacked." 

Shivomru," WHAT !"

Manager," Yes..its been hijacked and the situation is critical now."
Before the Obros could realize everything and inquire about Anika, the Manager left them wondering to contact the authorities about their next step. This news had spread like wildfire and the media as well as the family and relatives of the passengers of flight 1208 had gathered in the airport and were demanding the safety of their relatives. The authority of the airport was having a tough time managing the crowd. But in all this chaos, it was Shivaay who was the most broken.

Shivaay(murmuring to himself ),"  All this happened because of me. If I hadn't made that egoistic announcement, Anika wouldn't have left me and she wouldn't be in such a mess. All this happened because of me. If anything happens to her, then how will I live. Oh no, what have I done..."

*****************

Meanwhile, an hour ago, on the flight ,
Anika ( thinking )," Shivaay has really moved on. All this happened because of that bloody misunderstanding. Shivaay didn't even care to find out if I was really engaged. I know that I hurt him and broke him , but does he hate me so much that he can get married to Ragini in front of my eyes. He is the only person I loved and maybe he will be the last one. I had heard love gives a lot of pain but now I understand. It doesn't only give pain, but also sucks the life out of you. Its good that I came out from Mumbai, I couldn't have possibly seen Shivaay getting married to someone else."

Just then two passengers get up from their seat and point guns to all of the others seated there.
Men,"  No one should try to move from their places..else we will fire at everyone." 
Everyone gets scared. Anika was lost in her own Shivaay thoughts. The terrorists asked everyone to lift their hands, Anika did not because she didn't hear them. One of the terrorists came to her and pointed the gun on her head.
"You need special VIP Invitation kya ? "

Anika came out of her dreams and was startled.
Anika," What is going on here ?"
Ter," Didn't you see what happened ?"
"No I didn't. Why do you have this gun in your hand?"
"To play holi with this. Guns are used for killing people off course."
"Why are you here?"
" Are you actually dumb or are just pretending to be ? We have hijacked the plane."
Anika was not scared. She still couldn't get over with Shivaay and his thoughts, so whatever this black clad man was speaking was passing out from her ears. With the saddest tone one could have ever heard, she said,
Anika," What will you get by this ?"
Ter," Arre yeh ladki pagal hai kya ? I want to free our brothers from your Government. When you will be under threat, then your Government will be under pressure and release our brothers."
Anika," And for that you will kill all these innocent passengers. What have they done to you ? They are not the culprits. Then why are you doing their life ki tai tai phis ? They also have something to achieve, they have dreams, passions which they have to complete. Why are you snatching their khidkitod plans? Some are sons, daughters, brothers,sisters, nieces, nephews, mothers , fathers , husbands and wives. Why are you trying to chopsy their family ? "
Terr1," Shut up. Just shut up. You talk too much. And what is this khidki...and chop and tap tap...whatever."
Anika,"  Arre, you don't know khidkitod and tai tai phis and chopsy ? Arre these are.."
Terr2," Leave it. We understood."

Anika(wailing loudly)," Then why don't you leave us. We all are waiting to reach our destination. Everyone has their own destination, which we reach after a lot of sacrifices. We need to leave so many things. Do you know how much it pains to leave the person closest to you? Do you know how it feels to go far away from the person you care about the most ? Do you know what it feels like when you see the person you love with someone else? Do you..."
Terr1," Listen lady. Now if you don't keep your mouth shut, then you will be first one to go up."
Anika," We are already up in the air. We need to go down , bhai sahab."
Terr1,"What ? Bhai sahab ? Dont call me bhai sahab."
Terr2," It looks like some pyaar vyaar ka chakkar. Pyaar mein hi log aisi baatein karte hai. Bhai bolne de isse. Marne se pehle sab bol ke maregi.
(To Anika)Boyfriend ne dhoka diya kya ?"
Anika," What? Boyfriend? I m not that 2rs cheapdi. I m married and divorced also."
Terr2(crybaby face),"  Ohoooo! So thats what ! You know this happened with me also. My girlfriend also...."
Terr1," Hey, are you forgetting that we are on a mission ?"
Terr2," Oh yes! I forgot that. This girl said all that was in my heart. So I was drowned in the emotions."
Terr1," Ohhhh! This girl is the FKJ ! I will kill her now."
And he points the gun on her head.
Anika ," Arre, marne se pehle yeh toh batao ki FKJ ka full form kya hai." and she shed a tear. 

" Anika, PP ka matlab toh bata do !" 

Terr1,"Fasaad ki jad. That means root of troubles. Understand?"
Anika,"But I m not causing any trouble . Its you who is doing that , uncleji."
Terr2," Ab yeh uncleji kaun hai?" 
Anika," He told me not to call him bhai sahab. So now the only option left is Uncleji na."
Terr1," Now I will kill her. She cant keep quiet for long. I m getting mad at her. Issne mere dimmag ki dahi kar di hai."
Anika," Hey, that my dialogue. If Shivaay would have been here...."
Saying so, she went back to her Shivaay waala thoughts.
Terr2," No no we cant kill her. We have to bear her."
Terr1,"Why cant we kill her ?"
Terr2," Because then the Govt. will kill our brothers there."
Terr1," Aah! This girl is going to drive me mad. Pehle iska kuch bandobast karna padega." 

The first terrorist then jerked Anika and told her,
Terr1,"Listen lady. Just keep your mouth shut and sit in your place or else I will...."
Anika," You will what?"
Terr1," I told you to shut up."
Anika," Okay. Sorry. Sealed now."
Then the two terrorists try to communicate with the air authorities and negotiate the proposals.

Meanwhile, here at the airport Shivaay and Omru were trying to get all that they could to reduce the intensity of the hijack. All the ministers and contacts who could be involved, had given up and now the only thing which could be done was sit and wait for the air authorities updates.
Manager," We have tried to reason with the terrorists. All they want are their friends from jail and the Govt. is not willing to do so. We are still trying to provoke a forced landing and an army invasion. We will keep you updated. Do not worry. All your people will come back safely to you."
Shivaay shouts,
"I don't know anything, but I want my wi..."
He paused.
Manager," Mr. Oberoi?"
"Manager, I don't know anything, but I want MY WIFE Mrs. Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi to be safe."
"Yes Mr. Oberoi. Nothing will happen to your wife. We are doing our best."

Anika ki toh tai tai phis ho rahi hai, but usse zyada Shivaay ki ho rahi hai. Kya hoga aage? Kya Anika bach jaayegi? Ya Shivika ki kahani adhuri reh jaayegi? 
Woh toh baad mei hi pata chalega. Chalo, mai jaake terrorist ko Anika ki vocabulary ke matlab samajhake aati hoo, sab dhyaan rakhna apna. 
Iss Coronavirus ke chapete mei mat aana, aur call karne ke time pe uski warning sunke Shivaay ki tarah phone mat phenkna. 
Until next time,
