Wearing heels was not a bad idea, wherever I looked, I was greeted by gorgeous ladies loitering around, whether they were air-hostesses or the travellers, all were immaculately dressed, pencil skirts, trousers, crisp white ironed shirts, stockings, sarees, tight hair-buns , or straight ironed hair kept delicately on the shoulders.

Karan had made bookings for the first class, so in the waiting area I couldn't even slouch while sitting. Karan was being his boring self, typing away at his laptop, and when he was not on his laptop he was doing some paper work. When I got too bored, I asked him for his laptop, more like reached over his lap picked up the laptop, kept on the seat next to him. He glared at me but, he couldn't afford to ruin his boring image in front of the ladies and gents sitting with us in the waiting room. They all were like him, sitting there as if lord voldemort has shoved his magic wand up their poop-holes. ram-rod straight.

Time passed pretty quickly, after I borrowed / took Karan's laptop, YouTube is awesome like that. No, I did not watch porn. I watched life-hacks, beauty-hacks, hair-hacks, iPhone-hacks,Ryan Higa's videos, Zaid Ali's videos, etc.

The best part of that, Karan was irritated that I was not bored, so he took his laptop back, making some excuse about needing it for work.

Then I was bored again.

I don't really remember much after that, just that I was bored for a little more while, then went to use the washroom, came out and Karan was waiting for me, and then we boarded the plane.

One of our seats, was a window seat and the other was the middle one, the isle seat which was next to us was booked by someone, but they were late so it remained empty, while the flight was being boarded by other passengers.

When I saw we had a window seat I excitedly went to sit there but, guess what? Karan stopped me and sat there himself. He did not relent ,even when I requested him to exchange seats with me. I explained how he can occupy himself by doing his boring office work which he is always doing, and I will see the clouds, and whatever you see from out of an aeroplane's window, but his reply was..

"You are not here to enjoy this."

After that, he ignored me. I even tickled his ear with the tips of my hair, tried tickling him at his sides, pinching, but all I got from him was a glare.

HOW CAN A PERSON NOT BE TICKLISH!!!

When I was completely exhausted with his rude, ignoring behaviour, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

I might not show it but it hurts, when he behaves like I don't matter, my opinion, needs, happiness, pain, respect, are the most unimportant things in his life. Let us face it, he was the one for whom I came to his house, I did not leave my family behind because I trusted his family to take care of me, cater to my needs, keep me happy. No. I came to his house, I married him, I left my family because I trusted him to take care of me, cater to my needs, and keep me happy. I brush his rude behaviour off, taking it all playfully, pretending to be an airhead who never takes anything seriously.

It has been one month, since we got married, and we hardly ever have a civil conversation with each other. My self-esteem has never been bruised so many times in my entire life. And this dumb piece of man, refuses to even see reason!

"Hi, I am Siddharth." A man's voice permeates through my semi-asleep concious.

"Karan" That voice ,I can tell, belongs to my lovely husband.

"Is she your girlfriend?" again that man, but his voice sounds closer this time.

"Wife, actually" Karan is rude to everyone. At least he admitted ,I am his wife to a stranger.

"Wow, you both were in a hurry to tie the knot." Siddharth says, ending it with a chuckle.

karan joins his chuckle but says nothing, I keep my eyes close, posture relaxed, and head kept on my seat's head rest, and telepathically encouraging the guy to ask Karan more about us, so that I can listen,and see what Karan feels like.

Who am I kidding, it felt great to hear him admit that I am his wife.

"So, going on honeymoon or what?" I almost had the urge to lift my head and kiss this guy, he asks the best questions.

"I live there, just got married, taking her with me." That was Karan, his words were followed by the click-clacking of laptop keys, so I presume Karan has resorted to ignoring Siddharth, and has gone back to his work.

Pretending to sleep got boring, when actual sleep won't consume me, so I opened my eyes, pretending I just woke up, and looked at Karan, trying very hard, to act like I don't have any idea that the other seat next to me is occupied.

"Oh! Hi Karan, I just woke up. What are you doing? work? hahaha.... as always"

A moment of contemplation, made me reach to a conclusion.

Keeping my mouth shut would have been better.

"Hi, I am Siddharth, you can call me Sid." I turn towards, Siddharth to see, he has his hand extended out for me, I shake it.

"Hey, I am Ridhdima, I had no idea, you were sitting right next to me, you know, because.... I .... was.....asleep" Another moment of contemplation made me realise, that if I'd have left it at the introduction, I could have avoided the weird looks Karan and Sid were giving me.

Sid, is a handsome guy, and is maybe around my age or older, and have the same features Indians usually have - brown hair, brown eyes, wheat-ish complexion.

And even though he is sitting, I can tell, he is tall.

"yeah, you were asleep when I came here." Sid says politely, I smile at him and don't say anything.

The click-clacking of laptop keys, grab my attention, and I notice that it was, Sid who was using his laptop and not Karan.

Karan is engrossed in his paperwork.

I drum my fingers on the armrest of the seat, and look around, and then I see that Sid has a pair of headset connected to his laptop and he is watching Ryan Higa's videos.

I tap his shoulder to get his attention.

"yeah?" he asks.

Karan also looks up from his work, to see why Sid is talking to me.

"I was wondering if you could share your head set with me. Ryan Higa is awesome, and I am getting kinda bored."I ask him, sheepishly. I feel Karan stiffen beside me, but I don't think too much about it.

Siddharth smiles and offers me one ear-piece. I put it in my ear, silently praying to god it was clean because I didn't want to come out as rude, by cleaning it in front of him, when he is being so kind and is sharing it with me, unlike, my rude husband.

The cord of the headset joining the two ear-pieces was not very long so, I had to lean into Sid a little, which was kind of uncomfortable. I sat back, pushed the armrest between mine and Sid's seat, into the backrest and sat closer to him.

"Much better"Sid said.

I smiled and we started watching Ryan Higa videos.

Karan seemed very busy though. He kept shuffling sheets, and turning pages.

Sometimes, I felt bad for the guy, he works too much.

"If you like Ryan Higa, then you'll like this channel too"Sid said, and typed out a video tittle in the YouTube search bar.

"You type so fast" I commented, "and you use all your fingers like a pro! I can never do that, I still use my index fingers and thumb to type stuff. Where did you learn to type like this?" I said.

"I learned it through YouTube, the basic things, speed comes with practice. I can teach you if you want"Siddharth said, before I could reply, Karan grabbed my attention.

He was furiously typing something on his laptop, even faster than Sid. He also used all his fingers.

"Looks like your husband is also a pro at this."Sid commented, good-naturedly "he never offered to teach you?"

"never! he is a snob, I tell you." I honestly tell him, Sid chuckles.

"Okay, I will teach you then, first here watch it."Sid says, and he shows me videos of Smosh, and they are hilarious.

Sid was about to teach me how to type when, a flight attendant came and asked him and Karan to shut their devices, as the flight was about to take-off.

Karan quickly turns off all his gadgets and stands up from his seat and says " Ridhima, you wanted to take the window seat, you can sit here, I will take the middle one."

"No, it is fine you can sit there, I have Sid for company now." I smile at him politely, I know why he suddenly wants to sit in the middle. He wanted me to get bored and not enjoy my journey, but Sid is so nice and friendly and I am genuinely enjoying so he needs to intervene. And looking out of the window gets boring too.

"But you still sit there, now shift" I can literally see Karan's thread of patience being stretched to it's limits.
Not wanting to show other people that me and Karan might be a dysfunctional couple, I scoot over to the window seat and Karan takes the middle seat.
"Is this your first time travelling in am aeroplane?" Sid asks, peering over Karan.
"Yes, and I am super excited" I tell him.

"Make sure you stuff your ear with cotton balls because the take off and landing may cause ear-ache or numbness. It is always very uncomfortable for me." Sid tells me.

Karan reaches up to press a button and is after  a few minutes, an air hostess comes to our seat.

"We will need two pair of cotton balls." Karan tells her.

"Make that three" Sid tells her.

"Make that two, actually." I tell her before she leaves "I don't need cotton balls. Thank you"

Karan and Sid both look at me so I explain "I would like to experience the discomfort first."

Sid shrugs, and Karan just looks at me shakes his head.

Also, Karan Singhania was SMILING at me, SMILING!
As if something amused him.

So the take off began , and the aeroplane started accelerating and started to gain speed and then we were in the air.

I don't know how to explain it, but it was awesome!
Whatever crap, Sid told me about earaches and flight take offs, it was a lie.
I felt nothing.
Infact it was so cool!
It was like you are in a video game, something like need for speed. I have not played it myself or anything but I really loved it when the plane was zooming forward to gain speed. Hands down the best experience of my life.

"I didn't feel anything. I don't have an ear ache" I tell Sid happily.

"Why? I want to be you!" Sid says absolutely heart broken, while rubbing his ear.

Karan looks fine though. He takes out the cottons balls out of his ears and places them in the waste disposal pocket.

Outside the aeroplane window, it was beautiful. Clouds everywhere and we were above them, sun shining so close to us, it was so bright I had to squint, so that I could gaze at the clouds.

After that, I remember falling asleep with my head resting on the window, which was uncomfortable, but I was too tired to care.
And then, I remember hands pulling my head away from the window, the touch was so gentle, it made me acknowledge sleep more, and my head was falling to my other side, only to be supported by something else. It was comfortable, so I made myself more comfortable and got closer it whatever it was.

But I regret not pulling the shade on the window, because now the sunlight was smack-dab, on my face, I was so tired, I didn't want to wake up, I hate waking up early, I will kill Karan someday, for ruining my sleep.

And then, as if God has said 'let there be shade', sunlight was bothering me, no more.
I was comfortably sleeping, and sleeping is all I did throughout the journey.
