And just when he was about to inch a bit closer, she moaned.

But he halted because it was not her natural moan. It was more like a moan of real pain. His eyes immediately glanced at her face which bore the lines of discomfort.

"Are you ok?"

"Should I, should I stop!"

Akira closed her eyes tightly for a moment, unable to believe that uncle red had made an untimely visit. 

Taking a deep breath, she looked at those marble eyes which had zeroed on her and said.

"Damn it!"

Raymond's hand froze underneath her skater dress for a moment, but then he pulled his hand back and asked,

"Did I make you uncomfortable?"

"No, God, no... I think I got my periods," muttered Akira and then buried her head between her palms thinking how badly she had jeopardized all of Raymond's plans.

The space between Raymond's brows twitched for the fraction of a second before he wrapped her in the net of his arms and said, 

"Are you feeling ok? Do you need anything? Shall I call the Steward...?"

But before he could hear a word from her, he could feel a bit of wetness on his chest as those unruly tears traced their path from the beautiful face of his wife and landed on his shirt.

He didn't say a word further. He didn't ask a single question. He knew that she was feeling broken, so he tightened his arms around her and softly pushed the strands of hair from her face.

"I ruined everything. Why today of all the days?"

Raymond softly patted on her back and said,

"Maybe it's meant to be this way."

Akira pulled herself away for a moment and asked,

"What do you mean?"

Her eyes were questioning her, and she didn't look amused at all.

"Well," Raymond took a pause and continued,

"Do you feel heartbroken?"

"Heartbroken! I feel shattered Raymond. It's my honeymoon. I should be doing all fancy things rather than wrecking my head over the question of where to find a tampon."

"Well, if I am not wrong then three years back also you sat next to me all heartbroken and shattered. There were tears in your eyes just like now." Saying that he wiped a tiny drop that was about to fall down.

"It's really like going back in time," said Raymond and looked at her fondly but somehow that irked her even more, and she stormed towards the washroom.

She washed her face and tried to calm her mood. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, "Indeed it's the same." In her mind ran the flashback of how she had rushed to the bathroom to cry her eyes out after colliding with Raymond. And somehow a smile crept on her face.

'Fate definitely has weird ways of playing out!'

As she wiped her face and looked in the mirror she felt as if she saw a ripple on the surface of the mirror. Immediately she placed her palm on the surface and found it all smooth. So jerking off her head she came out of the washroom and went back to her seat.

"Oh! From where did you get that? Did you pack it with you?" Akira was surprised to see a hot water bag placed on her seat. She happily picked it up and placed it on her lower belly to comfort herself from those mild cramps.

"I had a bit of help!" 

Akira lifted her face up and saw the stewardess smiling at her and gave her a gentle nod. 

She then placed her head back on his shoulders and grabbed onto his arms and said,

"I am sorry. I fumed."

He gently turned his head and gave a soft peck on her forehead and said,

"No more talking. Just rest well."

Her lips curved as his lips touched her forehead. Wanting for more, she tilted her head up.

"My greedy one!" he said and softly placed his lips on hers, giving her a feather-like kiss before turning upright.

"Mmm..." she mumbled and then randomly looked ahead just to see if the stewardess caught her in action. But then she jumped in her seat.

"Bloody hell!"

"What happened Akira?"

"That stewardess looks like me," blurted out Akira with her eyes wide open in panic. 

"Who?" asked Raymond and got up from his seat, but he couldn't see anyone looking like her.

"Which one?"

"Her! The tall one. Can't you see?"

And just as she finished her sentence, the stewardess bent down to pick up a fallen tissue paper.

"She doesn't look like you even a bit!" Raymond exclaimed.

As the stewardess got up, Akira scanned her again and all puzzled, she replied,

"Yes, she doesn't!" and sat on her seat.

"What prank are you playing Akira? Or are you..."

"Am I what?"

"Nothing!" said Raymond and placed the called hot water bag on her lap.

"Tell me!"

"Maybe in the back of your head you are still thinking about Jaby and Alita."

Hearing his words Akira turned silent for a moment. She wanted to tell him about that ripple in the mirror too. But all that came out of her mouth was,

"Errm... Maybe!"
