Meera's P.O.V....

I could not believe my eyes. Touching Sir's cheeks I could then feel it was all real. I felt shy when sir kissed my cheek.

Oh god I can't entertain Sir's romantic approach towards me...I am destined to be alone...

I thought lying on bed. I did not speak with him later. Sandy Didi came to my rescue.

'Didi why did he come here?' I asked after sir left.

'Don't you know? I invited him too Meera'

'God....what have you done Didi?'

'Relax Meera. He's not any monster and also this is not his office. He can't control anyone here. He is a clever man, I am sure he came here well prepared' Didi said.

'I hope so Didi'

'Now come on get ready...' said Didi and walked out of the room leaving me alone.

God...please help me..I do not wish to be in any relationship....you know everything....I am getting too much attracted to him physically but truly do not wish to...

I joined Didi and others at breakfast and Rahul sir sat next to me. It was the most difficult and uncomfortable time I spent there eating, I could hardly swallow a bite. Sir did not talk to me all through the day that gave me lot of relief. Later in the evening we all gathered at the beach to attend the ceremony. I saw Rahul sir was seated to a corner, he appeared tense. I avoided him purposely, I did not wish to go out of control and spoil my remaining days of happiness. Later that night after the ceremony sir approached me saying 'Meera, we need to leave early in the morning. I will come pick you up. Be ready by 4.00 a.m' he said and disappeared in the darkness of the beach.

He's so moody....

I had a very good time at the ceremony after he left. It was for the first time in my life I was truly happy. It was all because of Didi. We all did not sleep whole night. I along with other younger cousins of Didi kept chatting, cracking jokes and playing some funny games which I never had any idea about.

'Okay everyone I had a very great time with you all. I have collected so many happy memories to cherish on for life' I told them packing my bag that night.

'I will miss you Meera' said Ashok with sorrow clearly visible in his eyes.

'I am not going away for ever, right? So why are you all so sad?' I asked them who all were on the verge of breaking open the flood gates of tears.

They are more emotional than I am...

'You know Meera, our Baah kept telling us a story of Amaira and Ra...' Naina was saying when Sandy Didi cut in 'stop it Naina...she will come here again to attend your marriage, may be in a couple of years. Isn't it Meera?' Didi said hugging me while her husband whom I hardly know stood there watching our emotional drama. I don't know what he was thinking about me. It was the newly married couples' time and their attention thatvI was taking away unknowingly. Packing my bags I was ready to leave this beautiful family who were so loving and caring, but i need to go...this is not where i belong! I tried to convince myself and checked the time, it was already four in the morning.

Rahul sir will come any minute now...

'Didi before I leave, I will say bye to Baah also. I know she must be tired and sleeping but still I wish to meet her'

'Yeah Meera. It's okay she must be awake by now' said Naina and Didi one after the other. Naina opened the door and switched on the lights. Baah was already awake. Her eyes were open when we stood near her cot.

'Baah, I am leaving now' I said sitting on the tiny space of the cot near her lean body.

'I know darling, but do visit me again whenever you are upto it...if at all I live untill then'

'No Baah please don't say that...it's a happy occasion and I promise I will visit you all again very soon' I said touching her feet to take her blessings. Meanwhile, as expected I heard the hoking of a car and I was sure it was my boss. Waving them goodbye I walked out of the house carrying my luggage while all the family members followed me to the car. Rahul sir was waiting there leaning on the car with an angry look again.

What is he upto now..?

I settled on the seat after placing my luggage in the trunk.

'Fasten your seat belt Meera...' he said and I did what he told me to.

'Sir when is our flight to South Africa?' I asked him when we just hit the road and he was driving at a very high speed scaring me.

'It's at nine in the morning from Mumbai Airport' he answered hoking 'idiot can't you see I am coming' he yelled at a truck driver while trying to over take it.

'Sir Mumbai...but I don't have anything with me needed for this trip' I said in surprise.

'Relax...I have brought with me all the needed documents and work related files and ofcourse your clothes too, Pam Aunty packed them. You just sit tight.  We need to reach Mumbai by seven at least' he said speeding up. I was too scared to even keep my eyes open. Closing them I fell asleep.

Rahul's P.O.V.....

Meera does not know my plan. I should have at least hinted that to her. The old lady's words shook me so much that I kept myself away from her the whole day. When I reached Sandy's house I found them all seeing off Meera with teary eyes.

Who is the one that's married? Why are they all behaving like as if Meera is leaving with her husband..? Typical Indian mentality...

Seeing their melodrama, I did not even feel like saying hello to anyone. When Meera sat inside I immediately sped from there and breathed a sigh of relief. I could not take any more of their emotions.

We need to reach on time...

Was the only thought I had in my mind when I began driving.  This project was very important for me and also I was getting a golden chance to spend some lone time with my love.  As I sped Meera fell asleep.

Wow! You look so adorable my love.
