Diya was not willing to go anywhere but with Rishaan's constant persuasion she gave in. Rishaan signaled Kiara, who was not in her full senses that he was leaving with Diya, but she somehow nodded in res...

“Passengers going to travel from Delhi to Goa are requested to please take note that the flight has been delayed by 30 minutes, we regret the inconvenience  caused”  repeated the lady at the periodic announcement system at Delhi Airport. The place was flooding with people who had arrived to see off or receive their respective related beings rather than the travelers ! Many, among the people there, were actually listening to the said matter on the speakers and the rest were passive yet!

Before he could return back to his senses a...
