“I-I’m sorry. Was I over you the whole time?”

She asked embarrassed and he chuckled, shaking his head.

“You were not! Relax.”

She released a breath of relief and looked down feeling her cheeks redden in embarrassment.

“Actually, my father wakes me up each morning and I have a habit of hugging his arm and that's why I-I am sorry.”

She explained quickly and he shook his head with a smile.

“Hey! It's ok.”

They were asked to put on their seatbelts because the flight was about to land. Bhavya was still in her post sleep daze and her hands fumbled with the belt.

“Need some help?”

Aadarsh asked and she nodded awkwardly. He buckled her up and looked into her eyes.

“There you go!”

“Thank you.”

Bhavya was waiting for her luggage on the conveyor belt when she saw Aadarsh leave the airport. She spotted her luggage and hurried up. Quickly grabbing her bag, she started to rush behind him.

She wanted to thank him for every help he'd given her on the flight and ask for his name but he was obviously very tall and had long strides and she couldn't yell at the airport to stop him.

She stepped out of the airport and looked to see in which direction he went but her shoulders slumped in defeat when she couldn't spot him.

She hailed a cab till her hotel and called her mother from the cab informing that she had reached safely and was driving towards her hotel which was about an hour from the airport.

Her mother asked her to call after she reached the hotel and have her food on time. Bhavya smiled at her mother's words and disconnected the call after talking for a few minutes.

The cab stopped in front of her hotel and she paid the driver before taking out her luggage from the car trunk.

She checked in at the reception and got her key card punched. The reception area was too noisy and Bhavya realised that maybe a wedding was happening here. 

She thanked the boy at the reception and moved towards the lift. Her room was on the 7th floor. She checked the numbers on the door of each room and stopped before the one she was given.

She entered the room but saw the lights already switched on. She turned to place the key card in the card holder and frowned seeing a card already placed there.

She entered further in and saw a bag opened on the bed and clothes scattered around. Did she enter the wrong room?

Bhavya went out to check again but no! It was the one she was allotted. She came back in and frowned seeing the things.

Did someone else enter her room by mistake? But no! The key cards are made after allotment of rooms. So the person must have the key card of the particular room to open it.

Before she could make sense of what was happening she heard the opening of a door. Bhavya was so confused about what was happening that she didn't even hear the running of the shower.

A man, half naked from the top, came out of the bathroom while wiping his hair. The towel covering most of his face.

Bhavya's eyes widened seeing the man. She shrieked and the man removed his towel in a haste getting startled.

Her eyes widened more seeing the flight guy. The handsome one. 

Aadarsh was shocked to see the cutie standing in front of him. It was when she removed her eyes from him and grabbed her bag, he realised he wasn't wearing a shirt and rushed towards the bed to fetch one, while she made a beeline towards the maindoor.

“Hey! Wait!”

He called but she ran out and straight to the reception. Aadarsh followed her from the other lift, guessing that she'd go to the reception.

Bhavya panted heavily and stopped before the reception boy. He looked at her with a frown and she breathed out.

“There's a man in my room!”

“Excuse me?”

“Umm…there's someone already there in my room. You gave me the wrong key.”

“Hey!”

Aadarsh came running behind her and stopped beside her. She looked down feeling embarrassed as she remembered his shirtless form.

“What's wrong?”

He asked her and she looked at the reception boy who looked at the two of them confused.

“He’s already staying in that room.”

Bhavya said, looking at the boy. 

“May I have your key cards please?”

Both of them forwarded it at the same time and their eyes met. Bhavya broke the contact and looked at the boy. He took their cards and did something on his face.

A frown marred his face and he looked at them apologetically.

“I'm sorry mam, sir, there seems to have been a technical glitch in our site. The rooms have been double booked.”

“Well, can I get another room now?”

Bhavya asked. She was too tired. It was close to 1 at night. And she just wanted to sleep. 

The boy checked something on his system again and then looked at her apologetically.

“I'm sorry mam. Actually, there's a wedding happening tomorrow. So all the rooms have been pre-booked till the day after. We don't have any other vacant rooms.”

Bhavya sighed. Aadarsh looked at her waiting for her to say something.

“Can I get my refund in that case? I'll have to look for another hotel.”

The boy nodded but Aadarsh interrupted.

“Hold on for a second! I need to talk to you. Idhar aao!”

He said and motioned her a little away from the reception desk.

“It's too late. Ek raat ke liye manage kr lete hai. I'll take the couch. It's not safe going out at this time. We can figure out the arrangement tomorrow.”

“You mean that we share the room tonight?”

She asked in disbelief. Aadarsh realised what she might to thinking and quickly said.

“I have no such intention. Listen! I just want to ensure the safety of a fellow citizen. It's just that it's not safe going out and searching for a room at this time. Let's do this! You take them room, mai yaha lounge mai kahi manage kr lunga and then we'll figure out the rest tomorrow. What do you say?”

He offered and she realised that he didn't mean any wrong to her. She was still a little sceptical and bit her lip. After contemplating for a few minutes she looked at him.
