An Unique Wedding ✔️

12: || Death and Re-Birth ||

21st Century, California :

It had been two weeks, Panchali had arrived in California. Her business trip was going well.

Now her only distraction was her work. And as a workaholic person, it was not hard for her to work whole day-night to distract herself.

She now became more rude and there is no one who can save the employees and workers from her behaviour because only Aryan could do that.

In the morning she would go to the office of her client and at night, she would go to any pub.

She would intake a lot of alcohol, being Whiskey, Vodka, Scotch, to distract herself from the pain and void she felt due to Aryan's absence.

There was no one from her family also who could stop her from harming herself.

Days later, Panchali decided to return back to India. This time in a public flight, covering her face with a mask, so that nobody could recognize her just by looking at her eyes.

Sitting in the lounge of the Airport, Panchali got a call from her family.

"Hello" She replied, receiving the call.

"Hello Panchu, where are you?" Aish asked.

"I am in the airport."

"When is your flight?" Aish asked, again

"About 30 minutes later."

"Had your lunch?" Shilpi asked, this time, taking the phone from Aish.

"Yes..."

"Okay. You could have taken our private jet, Panchu... Whatever, text any of us before the flight takes off."Siddharth said.

"Alright" She declined the call immediately

"Have a safe-" Aish was going to wish her a safe journey but before she could do that, Panchali declined the call.

Her family got perplexed seeing her behaviour.

"Jiji, I don't know why but I am feeling very unusual. Like I don't know what but something is going to happen." Aish spoke, her heart hammered like it would burst.

"It's okay, Aish. Nothing will happen. God isn't so cruel. Don't worry." Shilpi assured her sister-in-law though she herself felt unusual about the same but she stayed strong for Aish.

"I just want Panchu to land safely. My heart is restless, Didi." Aish spoke, a lone tear slipped from her eye which she wiped and gazed at it.

Her heart skipped a beat, noticing her tears.

Panchali boarded her flight and sent a text to Sukriti, conveying the message that she had boarded the flight and it would take off within a few minutes.

Time passed really fast when Panchali was reading a magazine and the plane was in mid air, there was an announcement by the Pilot.

"Hello Passengers, this is your captian speaking. We need to inform you that there is some technical issues in our plane, the fuel is leaking and we are trying to solve the issue. So, it is my utmost request please don't panic and tighten your seatbelts. We shall land on the nearest Airport. Thank You."

Hearing the announcement, panic spread in the plane.

"What shall happen to us? "

"Will the plane land successfully? "

"Or will there be a plane crash?"

"Can we survive?"

"What will happen to our family? "
