Bonne lecture!
[ nikkah on the way ]
"Yes Zoya, I am still at the airport and waiting. This is the twentieth time you have called to check on me.", Aditya said as he was walking out of the cafeteria, waiting as per his missus' order. "Oh gosh, I am not going to eat your cousin dearest and his fiancée, I am not a monster."
"What are you even saying Aditya? I just told to make sure you bring them to our flat without any issue. I would have gone but I had to take baby to her vaccination. Seriously, you, and your never-ending sarcasm, are too much.", she replied back as she was in the car moving to the clinic.
"Haan haan... anyways be careful, you and baby. Bye.", he hung the call, the thought of Diya getting an injection inserted in her soft and fragile arm making him cringe. Reason why Zoya suggested to go, since Anjana was gone on a trip to visit her sick sister.
"Hey Adi, what are you still doing here? Didn't your flight land almost a half a hour ago?", one colleague of his, seeing the man standing at the gateway as he walked to the smoking lounge, started a conversation.
"Hey Sathish. Yeah, some of our relatives are coming to Mumbai. So, just waiting to pick them up on my way back home.", he smiled answering. "Anyhow, I thought you were on an off today by the way.", asked the captain Hooda.
"Well, I was supposed to, yes. But then my wife told her parents were coming home, so I just said I had some urgent work and came here.", he grimaced and both men started laughing at it. "Why? Are your in-laws that much annoying?", he asked curiously.
"Tell me about it. I have to act like the gentle, sweet damaad caring for his wife's family. And you may know how it ends if you don't behave properly in front of her parents.", he said.
"My in-laws are quite nice, so I don't know. But I guess you might talk about the 'sleeping on an uncomfortable couch' treatment, ain't you?", Aditya asked, while Sathish raised a brow. "Zoya must be a really sweet wife. Bro, Anita sends me to the garden to sleep in the cold."
Aditya controlled his chuckles before biting his tongue. "Sorry sorry... I am feeling bad for you, brother. Really.", he said as his friend sighed.
Suddenly, an announcement about the Delhi flight that safely landed echoed in the building. "Alright, I guess they might be coming there. I will catch you later, dost.", saying so, he walked to the passengers' exit where a crowd of people started moving out.
"Zoya told me to wait for them, but never said how to find them out. Yeh Zoya bhi na. What were those numerous calls even useful for if not for telling how to contact them?", having waited for almost ten minutes, he was about to call her when he felt a hand tapping on his shoulder. Turning back, he fell on a man accompanied by a young woman, both in their late twenties.
"Hi... umm you are... Aditya Hooda, right?", his question surprised him and doubtfully, he replied, "Afsal?"
Smiling at his expressions, he thrusted his hand to shake. "Yes, it's me. Nice meeting you Aditya. And this is Shahana, my fiancée.", Aditya smiled back at the both. "Glad to see you both finally as well.", and they walked to the car park as he helped them with their luggages.
"Thank you so much for picking us up, Aditya bhai. And... sorry, we might be disturbing you, since you seem to be on duty.", Shahana apologized in her sweet voice.
He shook his head smiling, "That's all okay guys. I was going home actually, nothing to mind getting you to your place first, which is on my way. Moreover, it's the Highness's order, can't refuse her you know?"
