Chapter 27: chapter 27

NEIL'S P.O.V            ⏪A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO⏪I was heading back to London from India after an official stay and was waiting for the flight's final announcement at the Bangalore airport.My phone rang. It read Mom. Me- Hey..pretty lady!Mom- Hey, dearie! Did you board the flight?Me- Not yet mom. Waiting for the final announcement. Mom- Offo! Your dad told you to opt for your private jet, but your headstrongness never gives up. Me- *laugh* Mom! You know your son is not that stubborn, it's your affection which forces you and dad to agree for all my choices. Mom- True that. I know you, son. In fact, a way more than you know yourself. Me- Absolutely! You both don't stay up for me in case I am late, okay?Mom- Will see. *laughs* Anyways, you are safe right? Mike is there with you? Is the media fussing much? I still doubt, it's a good idea to travel so?Me- Mom mom mom! Take a breathe at least. Everything is in restraint. Mom- Okay! Had food? I am sure you didn't because of your all time girlfriend. Me- Girlfriend? Mom- Your work! Me- What? You are too much.*chuckle*Mom- I am too much? You and your work are too much. You are 24 and still don't have a girlfriend. I understand work is important but not at the cost of your personal life. Me- Come on, mom! We will speak about this once I get back home. Mom- As if you really do. Me- Mom? Mom- I really wish an angel would set foot in your life and impel you to realise about life, which holds a bunch of state of affairs other than work. Me- Fine! As you said "an angel" would step in my life whenever she is meant to be. Mom- I hope that day might roll up soon. Me- Ya, alright!  Did you eat?Mom- I asked you first. Me- Um..no.. didn't get time actually. I will have it in flight. Mom- I so knew it. Why do you always prioritize work over health?Me- Sorry, I will eat. Don't stress. Love you! Mom- Of course. Love you too! Beep.. Beep...This is not the first time I have visited India for a business venture. However, every time mom gets worrisome, one and the same. A feeble weep pulled my attention. I raised my head likewise. There I saw a lady in her fifties shuffling with her unbearable wound to reach the opposite slot of my seat.I moved towards her to help but with a thorough caution to hide my actual identity or else mom's intuition of media's to-do will be consequently validated.Mike (my guard) reached me out as he was instinctive that I was up to something. He suggested to me that it might be haemophilia, so to be on the safer side, I asked him to buy the medicine from the airport's medical room.I gave it to her and she gulped it. Yet, she was giving out mild sobs. I couldn't do much as even I was restricted due to the current situation.As soon as I took my seat, I saw a girl rushing towards the lady, who tried to comfort her. She treated her with the tiny scope she had.She was different! I mean who helps a complete stranger with full of integrity.An unspecified perception shifted my focus at her bothered yet radiant face. She appeared to be extremely enchanting. I couldn't help but espying her every move.After a while of their whispered conversation, she turned to me with her huge black eyes, which made me realise that I was eyeing her without consent. Shit!This is not me. What's wrong with me?She didn't do much to drag an attentive sight towards her, yet she deserved it. She was so natural and evidently constituted unique attributes. *unintentional smile*I offered my business class seat to that old lady as I was sure she would be uncomfortable throughout.I knew that it would be difficult for me to adjust in the economy class for this long-haul flight, however, this is the only thing I could do at last.I boarded the flight with Mike and the vision which caught my attention was the same face almost inspired me a jiff.Adding to my glady feel, Mike found that our seats were next to that fascinating unknown girl.I never knew this day was to become the desirable cook-a-hoop moment of my life.I casually asked her to switch her phone off after the take-off announcement. Nonetheless, she retorted with a childlike conduct which made me smile and in turn made her annoyed.Sooner or later, I found her clutching my arms tightly during a turbulence. The thing which amused me was that, she didn't even realise it. Even after grasping, she kept her attitude on the same track.I could hardly control myself from noticing her.She did show another side of hers based on her emotional oscillations, which made me name her "Daddy's Little Girl" and for that too her iconic conduct didn't change.I found her unusually interesting. No offence but I can't deny the fact that I was enjoying irritating her though that was utterly unintentional.I just couldn't resist her engaging charm.After landing, I was waiting outside for my cab to arrive and found her in trouble. I felt a knot in my stomach to note her scared face in that instance.I wanted to help her no matter what but in a way not to come into the picture.I stood behind her without her sense of knowledge when that drunk driver was heading towards her. He vacated as he noticed me backing her up. That day I ascertained that I was coveted to be with her as a shield forever and that inkling was so incomprehensible.I had rarely encountered a personality who has the ability to showcase all the emotions heedlessly, which I consider to be the strongest attribute an individual can ever acquire and she was the one.I was pleasantly stunned to find that she was here to stay in Oberoi's, when I witnessed her address card, which she made me hold mistakenly that night.Every single time I met her, I came across a different side of hers with a stint of innocence, which she carries with pride effortlessly.It came out from her so legitimately and left me with no choice but to fall for her. Yes, I am in love with her! I was getting attracted to her increasingly, all the times destiny put us together.I literally don't know when it commenced and how she became a part of my existence.Finally, when she countersigned me to be Neil Oberoi, her pleasing faced expressions turned blank.I just urged to embrace her and reassure that nothing is to be worried about and rest wholly will be perfectly fine, but not at all without her consent.She made her way towards my cabin as if god made a way to tack us together. I am neither the kind of person who could hide emotions nor who could play with words.I am straightforward and have the courage to say exactly what I feel and what I do not. Plus, my countenance reflects my heart.When I saw her in front of my sights completely edgy and full of awkwardness, the only thing which came to mind was to confess my feelings for her, no matter what her decision would be.I presented my eternal love for her in my style, in the sense of self-composedly and the ardour was ecstatic.I previously had an idea that she would be astonished, nevertheless, what I saw in her eyes was precisely unalike.I felt as if her reaction was not only because of my words but also because of some other circumstances, which I am unaware of.What could it be? As soon as our eye-up broke, she went away from me as if she was waiting for such a chance desperately.Geez! My girl is too sensitive. My Girl! SHE IS MINE ❤️My brain impulsed me to solace her. However, my heart wanted to give her some space for the time being.I was restless until I saw her in the conference hall. The moment my eyes caught her positioned confidently, I sighed gaining back my serenity.I will never ever force my love on her as I entirely know how to respect one's notions and convictions.I love her and that's enough for me.I will wait for the day she understands and shoulder my perception.The day I found love for me in her eyes, then that's it!If my love for her is true, she will surely come to me and my heart says that day will make headway soon. ***********************************Here I am, with Neil's P. O. V! Will Neil be able to make his place in her heart? See you in the next chapter.Till then stay tuned and miss me😉#KeepReading #KeepLoving❤️❤️
