Dad announcedAsk him to wait 2 mins paa!I started to take down my suitcase and walked out of the houseBye, mom, dad!Bye beta! Stay safe!!Don't worry aunty I'll be there with her! Arjun said coming out of the carHe helped me with the luggage and we sat back inThat was my first trip alone without my parents, my parents never allowed me to go out alone this far, but today I was doing that, I was excited but at the same time worriedThe words which Kajal used were still haunting meGautam was in the car with us and we talked about the Maldives and the hotel we are gonna stay over inWell, this journey excites me! I said happilyArjun was talking to David his bodyguard, he was soon gonna be there at the airport and board with usArjun instructed him to keep us away from the press and make all the necessary arrangementsThere was a lot of traffic but we made it on timeWe got out of the car and the paparazzi were already waiting for us to click our pictures even after we tried to avoid themWe took out all the luggage and David helped us to carry themThe place was very chaotic and crowded, we quickly made our way out of the crowd and went insideGautam gave us a send-off and now we were alone with David helping usDavid got us our boarding passes while we sat over on the seatsThe day was hectic due to shopping and I was already tired, I wanted to sleep but I couldn't and to add more to my misery our flight was delayedI decided to listen to some music, I closed my eyes and before I knew I was fast asleepI woke up to see that I was sleeping on Arjun's shoulder and him reading a magazineGood sleep? He askedYes I said looking away with my cheeks red as a tomatoI saw that my hair was all messy and decided to use the washroomDavid was sent after me, which I obviously didn't like but I couldn't say no either!David was following me, and I turned back to talk to himDavid! You can stop following me, who's gonna kidnap me in an airport?! I said making an annoyed faceI'm sorry ma'am, but this is an order!I realized that there was no point in convincing David since he was way too devoted to his workWe reached the washroom, I turned back and looked towards David even though this guy was tall afI swear I should have drunk complanI pointed upwards towards the sign showing the Ladies' WashroomDavid Man! At least stop following me now for heaven's sake!He made an embarrassing smile moment and I went insideI opened my phone to check messages one last time because, in the next 10 mins, I'll be boarding my flightI opened Google and the first thing I found was a picture of me and Arjun, and the time when I was snoozing peacefully on his shouldersBefore I could read the entire articleA message popped up "STAY AWAY! I'LL KILL THEM ALL"I swiped off the message and switched off my phone hurriedlyI washed my face, tied my hair, and went outWe quickly boarded our flight to Maldives and voila off we go!!!It was an 8hr flight journey with a stoppage in betweenIt was definitely a tiresome journeyI decided to put my handbag in the upper cabinI was wearing a crop top so it made it uncomfortable for me to stretch myself to put in my bagNeed help? Arjun askedI noddedI tried to keep my distance from him but each time something would bring me close to him, the only thing that'll save everyone is to make Arjun cancel the weddingI needed a plan! And the worst ideas came into my mind, should I run away? Should I die with a suicide note, or should I just vanish into the Himalayas?I was pleading with God to help me and I hope he does!Hope y'all liked it!! 🤝🏻🤝🏻 See ya in the next chapter!!
