Heading to the Land of Unknown

Three weeks later
It was finally 5:00 pm and I was all packed and set to go. My parents lectured me on being safe and careful. They told me that my Chacha(uncle) would be waiting to pick me up at the airport. The drive to the airport took about 30 minutes and I checked in all my luggage. It was finally time for me to head inside. My parents hugged me and my mom started tearing up. Akash and Tanya told me to stay safe and to call them regularly. Jen and Jay told me to try to find a hot guy while I am in India. Obviously, I rolled my eyes at the silly comment.
I walked away silently and went into security. It was nerve wracking but I was ready for the adventure. I read books while waiting for the announcement to board. Finally, it was announced and I got on the plane...
I boarded the plane to head to Mumbai and I sat in my seat. I watched Fast and Furious 5 before dinner was served. I was served a chicken shawarma for dinner and it was really delicious.
As I was heading to sleep, I started feeling queasy. I finally started vomiting and the guy sitting beside me asked me if I was okay. When I turned to see who this person was, I was met by the face of the most stunning guy in the world. Well, it may seem like an exaggeration but this was no lie.
I quickly turned my head feeling embarrassed for being in this situation in front of this handsome stranger. He asked, "Need any help?" I quickly grabbed my handbag and ran to the washroom. I washed my mouth and face and fixed my makeup. I headed back to my seat slowly.
Once I sat down, he asked once again if I was okay and I turned my head around feeling queasy again. I put my hand up to tell him that I am fine but he grabbed it and said, "May I? There is a pressure point right at your wrist and if you press down on it, you'll feel better. It may hurt for a few seconds. Everything will be better, trust me." He kept pressing down into my wrist and as I stared into his eyes, I kept hoping that he would never leave my arm. He finally asked, "Are you feeling better?" I nodded yes and he said, "Good, get some rest."
I started wondering who he was and than I asked, "Are you a doctor?" He laughed and said, "Me? No way." He turned away and I started thinking about his stunning looks once again. Love and Nausea. What a combination. "Even when you were sick, you made the effort to go and fix your makeup to make yourself prettier than you already are. That takes a lot of will." I started questioning myself about what was happening and I said, "Well...I am a girl. Pretty or not, I must try to look good." He smiled and said, "Yeah, maybe you're right."
He looked down into his hands and said,"I want to tell you the truth." I started hoping that he would not ask me out on a date or something like typical guys. "You know how I held your arm by saying there is a pressure point? Well, I don't know if there actually is something like that. Everything is in your mind, you just have to think optimistically." I smiled and said, "It worked out...So don't worry, I won't call the Air Hostess and make a complaint about you." He smirked and thanked me even though he didn't need to. I paused for a moment and said, "When you were trying to tell me the truth, I thought you were going to ask me out but thank god, you didn't." He chuckled and said, "How could I? The first time I met you, you were vomiting into a bag." I glared at him and he quickly said that he was just joking.
After that, it went back to silence as it was before I got sick. I looked back at him a few times but he never talked to me again. The plane finally landed in Mumbai and I got up to grab my carry on luggage from the overhead storage. By the time I got it, the guy sitting beside me had already left. I never did find out his name...
I exited the plane and went to the washroom. After that, I headed to customs and got my luggage. I went out into the pick up area and saw my Chacha. I walked over quickly to him. We greeted each other and went out to his car to head home.
