Destined to be

PART : 1 Five years later...

JFK International Airport, New York, USA

Rudra's pov

Finally, the day has arrived. I am going back home after 5 long years.

I am excited but I am going to miss New York. This place has given me so much. It will remain close to my heart, always. I am going to miss my friends, my workplace, the Columbia university. These five years are always going to be precious for me. 

I cleared my check in and immigration procedures, grabbed a coffee and headed towards waiting lounge as I still had some time in hand to pass. I occupied a seat, put my headphones on and decided to message Bhai.

'Bhai, check-ins and immigration done, see you soon'

I sent him a message and checked his profile picture.

It is our family picture from mom and dad's wedding anniversary last month - Mom, Dad, Bhai and Mahima bhabhi. I missed them so much, can't wait to meet them now.

My phone buzzed with notification with Bhai's message.

'Can't wait to see you, chote, come soon, we ALL are waiting, have a safe flight'.

I know what Bhai meant by 'ALL' - it means HER too, my 'Jhalli'.

It definitely brought a small smile on my face.

Preesha's pov

It's been five years. I still feel his presence in this room. The room is still as it is, nothing has changed and nothing will ever change.

I still remember the time we used to spend together in his room. I missed him. His 'jhalli' missed him.

'He is coming tomorrow' I turned around only to find Jiju there.

'In fact, he must have boarded flight by now' Jiju said  while checking time in the watch.

'That's, that's great, Jiju' I replied in excitement.

'Missed him a lot, right?' Jiju asked directly.

I nodded slightly in agreement.

'Whenever you are here, you have never failed to visit his room' Jiju said and yes he is correct. Whenever I visit Khurana mansion, I have always came to his room, in a hope to find a his glimpse or just to relive our memories.

'I am glad that he would be here for the celebration, 25 years of Khurana-Srinivasan corporation''He has missed SO MUCH in these five years...'  Is Jiju trying to say  that he missed me too? Or am I just overthinking? 

'Preeshu, you are here...I was looking for you everywhere' my chain of thoughts were broken when Akka came there.

'Sorry, Akka...I just came....' I looked at Jiju to help me out.

'Mahima, I called her here, Rudra is coming tomorrow so I just want to check if his room is ready...and who better than Preesha can confirm it' Jiju and his ways to tease me, unbelievable, truly.

'Yes, Jiju, everything is perfect...' I replied and quickly made an exit from there.

Finally, I am going to meet him after five long years. I can't describe my happiness. I am going to meet my Rudra...
