Heena, finally after pursuing her Dad, was going on a trip to Phuket with her friends on the New Year's Eve to fulfill her long lived dream. But, being the holiday season she had to board a different flight then that of her friends, after 4 hours and that too of Yangon. She agreed because she desperately wanted to go.

When she reached the Yangon Airport, she informed her friends.

She now had one hour to wait and then to board another flight from Yangon to Phuket.

While waiting, when she saw him.

He was tall, normal built, dressed in turquoise turtle neck t-shirt, and faded jeans, with nerdy glasses, hair parted at the side.

He was smiling for no reason at every person passing him showing his white teeth, while passersby gave him indifferent look.

She found this really weird, agreeing with the act of passersby, like she too would have felt the same if someone would have smiled at her showing his teeth for no rhyme and reason.

She was looking at him, when he caught her eyes. She immediately turned around, away from him.

His legs working on their on accord took him to her, he sat beside Heena, who didn't expected the move.

Co-incidently, she lifted her bag, landing it right on his foot.

He yelped, "Owww....."

Hearing the yelp, she turned only to find him next to her, head down, holding his foot.

Frantically, she started apologizing, "Sorry, I am so sorry, I didn't knew someone was sitting here. Sorry, for hurting you.. I really didn't mean to. I was just removing my bag to the side."

She saw that he was shaking a little, she thought that maybe he was sobbing, maybe she has hurt him real bad.

She started apologizing again,"Please, I am so sorry, I seriously didn't mean to. I didn't see you sitting here.. Let me see the wound, I have some ointment and bandages too, it may help, if you want."

She thought that how will she find a doctor if needed in this unknown place, let alone going with a stranger. She was rambling, but couldn't help it, he was sobbing, maybe his foot is cut open, though she found it a little impossible because her bag wasn't that heavy.

She was terrified, she was alone in this place, hell she hadn't even heard its name one-day-before, and now with only 30 minutes left for check-in to her next flight, she has caused this blunder.

Being on verge on crying, "Please, say something , atleast let me see the wound, I am so so sorry." , when his head shot up.

She got a closer look of him. His eyes were glossy, maybe because of the crying. She really felt bad for him.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, holding his stomach tightly. She was horrified, she just can't believe it. How can anyone do it. Here, she was all concerned and he was laughing at her, how dare he ??

He was laughing his guts out when he saw her tears stricken face but with fire in her eyes...

Ooops, He had managed to piss her..

He was just staring at her. While she was throwing arrows at him.

She was so furious, that in her rage, she forgot everything around her, and just walked into a nearby door, which happened to be a girl's restroom.

She closed the door and sat there until she had calmed down and well, the process took a little time. She was angry at herself for getting fooled so easily by that weirdo.

She came out running straight into him.

He was standing there, head bowed, holding her luggage. Her anger resurfaced.

Then, she looked at the clock in front of her. To her utter horror, she has missed her check-in-time and her flight was about to leave in just two damn minutes.

She snatched her bag and ran to the check-in terminal and it took her precious two minutes to reach.

She has missed her damn flight because of a stupid, weird stranger.

Heena, went to the authority to check if something could be done, but the bullet was already out of the gun. Next flight was after twelve hours.

At least the authority assured her that they can book a room for her to stay, with a condition, she has to share her room with another person who too has missed his flight.

She reluctantly agreed, but cursed the moment when she saw who that person was.

Having no choice, she went to the room with him, neither of them saying a word. But the tension was so thick that one could cut through it.

She was glaring the whole way and he was trying hard to not meet her gaze.

In the room, her anger being subsided, her curiosity got the better of her.

She asked,"Where were you going? Why did you miss your flight?"

He replied,"Hello, to yourself, I am Sandeep. I too was going on the same flight as yours, I waited to give you your luggage, which you had abandoned in your rage, that happened to be because of me, and could have earned you, your luggage being confiscated.

Her jaw dropped. "Please, close your mouth. It looks odd."

Her mind was reeling. 'Where was that weirdo, she saw at the airport', she thought.

"I am not a weirdo, I was just happy since I am going to finally meet my family after such a long time, if happiness is weirdness, so be it."

"Oh, sorry I didn't meant that." she said. She hadn't realized she had said her thoughts out loud..

"No need to apologize, it was really stupid of me to pull such a prank, that too on a stranger."

He didn't wanted her to be a stranger, but he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable either.

As if reading his thoughts, she said,"We don't have to be strangers, seeing we have to spend twelve hours together. So,my name is Heena."

Saying, she extended her hand, he took it, shook it lightly and introduced himself, relishing the soft feel of her hand, holding longer than necessary.

He wanted to hold her hand forever, but knew it was impossible with his nerdy looks.

She looked liked a fairy, and he, a nerd. Impossible.

He jerked himself out of his thoughts when he felt her pulling her hand slowly. He immediately left her hand, embarrassed.

She turned around to her suitcase to take some clothes so she could freshen up. But the lock was stuck. She tried hard, but it wouldn't budge.

She was wrestling with the lock, when he offered to help her. She unequivocally refused.

It's just a lock.. ofcourse she can handle it..

When she couldn't, he forcefully took it from her hand, trying.

Not liking this in the least, she tried to snatch it back, digging her nails absentmindedly in his skin..

When the pain shot through his hand, he left the bag, which caused Heena to tumble backward, almost falling.

When she could finally see, she saw him again like the first time, the time he was feigning hurt.

This is just not done, how can a person do this, playing the same prank minutes after apologizing for the previous one, this was totally unexpected, atleast from a sane person. He is insane.. Her anger was bubbling to the surface, when she saw his hands covered in blood.

She hadn't noticed the bandage in his left hand, her nails must have opened his wound.

She saw his face, which was filled with agony, eyes shut tightly to bear the pain.

She cursed herself, and was out of the room instantly, to grab first-aid, as her bag won't open and to call a doctor.

In her hurry, not seeing the steps, she slipped.

Hearing someone fall down, people gathered around her, and Sandeep too came running out their room.

Doctor was called while he picked her up in his arms, taking her to their room.

Placing her on the bed, he checked for injuries, there wasn't any blood on her body except from his hand, but she must have internal injuries.

"She has some minor internal injuries, let her rest, she will be good to go in a few hours",the doctor said.

He sat by her side, the whole time she was asleep, holding her hand, kissing her forehead, for he will not get this liberty after she is gone, never to meet again.

"I loved you, from the first time I saw you, but I know you wouldn't want this weirdo. But, it's okay.. It was the greatest thing of my life to meet you. Just hope, I could know you more."

Heena, heard his confession, tears flowed on her cheeks. She raised herself, and hugged him, whispering,"Yes, you are a weirdo. But, you are my weirdo."

Just then, they heard the new year bell...

The cupid struck on the new year.
