“I am not talking about your
pa. I am asking about my husband.” Kalpana says.
“Je ne
comprends pas” The person says.
“Listen.
Keep your pa away and tell me if you have seen a man wearing a white shirt near
the washroom or not else just get lost.” Kalpana says firmly.
The
person thinks Kalpana is mad and leaves from there.
“Why
did she go away? Mad woman. She does not even understand English….Huh! I
thought the people in Paris must be literate but ….Whatever.”
********
Raghav keeps searching for
Kalpana and smiles as he notices her in the same restaurant. She was sitting at
a table and was talking to someone over the phone.
“Kalpi, what are you doing
here? …Ahh! You wanted to have dinner here then you should have told me. By
walking blindly on the airport, you might get lost. Be careful next time.”
Raghav says while holding the girls hand.
The girl gets up and stares
at him. Raghav holds on to her hands and feels chocked when he realizes that
the girl is not Kalpana.
“Kalpi….” Raghav stammers
while talking and the girl widens her eyes as her eyes turn red with anger.
Raghav blinks her eyes
thrice to believe what he is seeing.
“You are my….” Before he is
able to complete the sentence, he feels some strong hands holding his collar.
His mouth opens when he
notices that he is going to be wacked by a 7 feet tall and bulky African whose
eyes are deep red and teeth are bright yellow.
The man grits his teeth with
anger and Raghav feels as if he is going to be the man’s meal in few seconds.
He starts stammering as the man pulls him near his face.
“How dare you hold my
girlfriend’s hand?” The man growls.
“Wh whh
whhhatt…? I…I….I…I thought….” Raghav keeps stammering as the man tightens his
grip on his collar.
“What did you think Mr?”
“It was a …a mistake….I
thought she was my….”
“My what?” The man says
angrily and his spit falls on Raghav’s face making his fear increase.
“My….My wife.
S…SS….Ssorryyyy…” Raghav closes his eyes as he was expecting that the man to
blow up his face with the answer.
Before the man could be him
up, Raghav starts explaining him everything as to how his wife and the man’s
girlfriend wore a similar outfit which led to the confusion.
******
Kalpana keeps walking,
feeling lost at the airport and everyone whom she tries asking about her
husband either don’t understand her language and accent or have not seen
Raghav.
“Damn it. I don’t even have
a cell phone to call my idiotic husband. I can’t believe he just left me
stranded at the airport. A new place, new people and their funny language.
Urghhh! I can’t understand anything. Where should I go now?” She says to herself
and starts cursing her fate.
She looks around and feels
dizzy reading the names of the shops ‘Parfums Christian Dior’, ‘Jovoy’ and so on.
She tries reading few names
and gets stuck on pronouncing the name ‘je t'aime’. She says “Jai Tam. Now what
does that mean? Like we say Jai Hind here they say Jai Tam?” She places her
hands on her waist and keeps thinking when she hears someone say “I love you.”
She turns around to see the
person and notices a boy who says “It means I love you.”
“You are the same little rat
in the flight?” Kalpana says while holding the boy’s shoulders.
“Yes, I’m Bunty. Your memory
is quite good Miss…?” The boy asks her name to which she replies “Kalpana.”
“Hmmm…Dream girl. Hema
Malini.” The boy winks and Kalpana widens her eyes.
“Hmmm…Not really Bunty but
thanks for the compliment.”
“Anytime darling.” The boy
stretches his hands in SRK’s style.
Kalpana pulls his ears saying “I’m married and
flirting with a married woman is bad manner.”
The boy bites his lips saying “OK OK Sorry. I won’t
flirt with you again. Please leave my ear.”
“That’s like a good boy. OK now tell me what are you
doing here and where are your parents?”
“I don’t know. I am searching for them only. Last
time I saw them talking to the ground hostess but after that they disappeared.”
“Oh! So you are also lost like I am. Come with me.
First I’ll find your parents and then I’ll find my husband.”
“Your husband also is lost? Wonder why he left his
beautiful wife at the airport.”
“I told you know to stop flirting with me.” Kalpana
warns him and he holds his ears apologizing for his mistake.
“Oh there, my mom and dad.”
The boy says excitedly while pointing towards his parents.
“Come fast. Your parents
look tensed.” Kalpana says while rushing to his parents.
They reach them and Kalpana
says “Aunty, uncle, your son.”
The boy goes and hugs his
mom who is in tears. She hugs him tight and kisses him all over the face.
“Where had you gone? You are fine know? What happened to you? Why you left my
hand?”
“Mom, please stop and ask me
one question at a time. And I’m fine. This sexy lady brought me here.”
Kalpana and the boy’s dad
start laughing and Kalpana says “Aunty, don’t worry. Your son is quite brave.
In fact, he guided me through the airport else I was also lost.”
The mother looks at her son
and caresses his face saying “Yes he is. My son is very brave.”
The father holds his wife’s
shoulder saying “Kamya, don’t get tensed. Bunty is fine.”
“Thanks a lot dear. If you
were not there then I don’t know what would happen to my son. He is new to this
place as well.”
“I know aunty. Don’t take
tension. Your bunty is a smart boy.” She says while touching Bunty’s hair and
Bunty starts smiling.
“Thanks for everything. Now
we need to rush to the hospital as fast as we can. Kamya, Bunty, let’s leave.”
The father says while Kalpana looks surprised hearing this.
“Hospital?” Kalpana asks.
“Yes my Hema Malini. I got
Brain Cancer because of which my mom and dad brought me here from Mumbai but
I’m sure I’ll be fine soon.” He says with a smile.
