◾️ The final call ◾️
"Ani pass me the wafers "gauri was so engrossed in watching priyanka Chopra's wedding video that she forgot that a short tempered woman was sitting beside her.
Anika took the packet of wafers and asked
" Should I bring some cushions and blanket for you?! Do you want some pizza to go with?! "
" Yeah would love it "
Anika hit gauri with the packet of wafers in her hand.
" Do you think I own the airport? "
Gauri suddenly realized that for so long she was watching videos on the airport where they had come to catch the flight.
" Shoot, we are late! Ani run or we will miss the flight ! "
Anika pulled gauri behind and showed her the watch. They still had an hour for boarding. Gauri sighed of relief and then sat in her seat back to enjoy her PC's wedding which was
ruthlessly interrupted by Anika.
" Ri, call and ask Om where are they?! We will surely get late if they don't turn up soon!! And yeah wake me up when they come " saying Anika put her eye mask on and slept muttering curses to the elder oberoi who booked this 4am flight.
"Chill babe let me call om "
On call
" Where are you guys?! " Anika and me will leave if you guys don't show your face on the airport now!! "
" Calm down gaur, we are on the way !! You..you.. know how much time shivaay takes to get ready especially set his hair "
" it wasn't me, it was your boyfriend gauri " shivaay shouted from the background.
" Knew it, You and your hair !! Now come soon otherwise assume your hair to be cut, bye... " gauri quickly cut the call and resumed to aww over priyanka's dance on her sangeet.

" Shivaay speed up, we are getting late! "
" Yeah, but are are you asking me to speed up because we are late or because you want to meet gauri ?!" shivaay teased om winking at his shy and sweet brother.
" Well, I would love to say to meet gauri, But due to my shy nature and society obligation to hide such matters from siblings to avoid teasing I would say because we are LATE" Om screamed in shivaays ear showing him the time on the watch. They had half an hour till boarding.
Meanwhile rudra woke up due to om's shrill voice. But till he opened his eyes the matter was over and shivaay sped up lulling rudra back to his sleep.

Shivaay, om and rudra rushed inside the airport juggling with their hiking bags. Om spotted gauri sitting with her phone with a girl asleep beside her. She and her phone.
On inching closer they noticed that none of the girls realised that the boarding had started and their names were being called out. As gauri was busy in watching videos with her earplugs and Anika was SNORING.
Om shook gauri to bring her to earth.
"Gauri where is your attention our boarding has started "
" hai, ...namaste bade bhaiya, namaste Rudy bhay..."
" Gauri this isn't the time to show your ideal bahu behavior, We are late "
Om screamed cutting gauri while shivaay and rudra were yet digesting the fact that someone in the 20s called them bhaiya.
