Kamlesh's viewpoint :

I took in a deep breathe as the flight landed in Mumbai and I unbuckled the seat belt. I'm coming to meet you Ashwati, are you as excited as me?

You're gonna get so happy on seeing me! I wish I could just skip time as reach to you as soon as I can.

I kept smiling to myself while getting off and moving towards the luggage counter. After collecting my belongings, I took out my phone to book a cab.

As soon as turned off the flight mode, I saw Shubman's incoming call. I decided to receive it first, might be something important.

"Hey bro." I greeted.

"Bhai tu kahan hai abhi?" He questioned hastily.

"Mumbai airport." I answered.

"Oh no." I heard the sound of him facepalming himself.

"Kya hua?" I enquired.

"Actually..." He trailed it off.

"Jaldi bol, mujhe Ash ke ghar bhi jaana hai." I requested impatiently.

"Mat jaa bhai." He tried stopping me.

"Kyu?" I questioned with my brow raised.

"Ash ghar pe nahi hai." Shubman answered.

"Ghar pe nahi hai? Toh kahan hai?" I asked in confusion.

"Uh.. Kolkata mein." He hesitantly responded.

"WHAT?!" I shouted in disbelief.

"Bro relax-" Shubman tried calming me down but was cut off.

"Kamlesh! Oh my God its him!" A few girls exclaimed and started running in my direction.

I realised that I've drawn a lot of attention by screaming so loud. Everybody's looking at me right now and cherry on top, people have recognised me now as well, though I have put on my hood.

"Oh shit." I panicked and rushed out of the airport speedily with my luggage.

"You okay?" Shubman questioned in concern as I breathed heavily.

"No." I sighed while taking a seat in a cafe, which is just next to the airport.

"Ishan Mumbai mein hai, main use bol deta hu tujhe pickup kar lene." He suggested.

"Yeah, please. I really need help." I panted for air while lowering my head on the table.

"Theek hai main baat karta hu usse." He replied.

"Thanks bro." I sighed and then hung up.

"Excuse me sir, would you like to have something?" I heard a female voice.

I lifted my head to see Ashwati dressed up in a plain white t-shirt, along with checkered black and red skirt and an apron tied around her waist.

"Ash?" I smiled at her.

"Aren't you Kamlesh Nagarkoti?" She jumped.

"How do you know my name?" She added chirpily.

"What?" I asked while rubbing my eyes and looked at her again to find out she's a different person.

Shit, I must be having illusions.

"Sir I'm your huge fan, can I have your autograph?" The girl requested me politely.

"Sure but just do me a favour. Don't let anyone know I'm Kamlesh, okay? I'm trying to disguise myself." I pleaded.

"Sure sir." She smiled while extending a piece of tissue and pen towards me.
