Her Secret Angel

MUTUAL DISLIKE

CHAPTER 3

GAURAV

"Splash"

I watched the swirling water flushing down the liquid excreted from my body. It was the first time I had difficulty doing a common task such as peeing! I thought it was not possible after that disgusting incident.

The whole bad scene was surreal; nobody would believe it actually happened to me.

A deep sigh escaped my parched throat. It was definitely hard to hold a wave of anger in such a situation. My ability to hold my emotions, especially in difficult situations, was stretched to the utmost limit.

I washed my hands and my face to make me feel comfortable. My face was covered by a thin layer of sweat which never happened to me.

What was wrong with this day?

Firstly, the family plane’s unexpected fuel leakage and secondly, the foolish lady's grabbing incident.

I hoped nothing more would happen after this... but... they said bad luck comes in threes?!

“Hell no!”

I don't think I could keep my cool should another unfortunate event happen today.

I had enough of this s**t!

Modesty aside, I was thankful for my excellent upbringing. Otherwise, I totally lose myself earlier and yelled real hurtful words to the lady. I saw her expression, and for a brief moment, I pitied her. No one would wish to be in her place. Nonetheless, I also wished it wasn't me, on the other end of the comic but infuriating situation.

Gladly nobody was there except the two of us. It was an embarrassing moment, and I wouldn’t know if I could contain my emotion in front of many people.

Suddenly,

I heard the announcement, the take-off announcement. In fact, the plane was slowly moving.

I opened the door of the restroom and walked hurriedly towards my assigned compartment.

The stewardess gave me a charming smile. I am used to this treatment wherever I go. But at the moment, I have no intention to be pleasant with anyone. My day was stressful, and I just want to rest.

I hit the limit of my patience!

The plane was already in the air when I reached the compartment. I sat on the seat and locked the seatbelt.

I was not allowed a single cabin; thus, I needed to endure the fact that another human being was beside me for the rest of the flight.

I sighed heavily and told myself...

"Keep your cool and endure. The four-hour flight won't hurt you. Everything will be alright when you reach Singapore!"

When I entered the compartment, I didn't bother to look at the person beside me.

I asked myself if it was a man or a woman. I slowly moved my head sideways and looked at the person beside me.

Holy s**t! I almost punched a hole in the wall!

It was a lady all right, but the lady was the LAST ONE I wanted to see for the rest of the flight.

She looked at me like she had seen a ghost!... And honestly, she looked like one. Her face ran out of color, her big grey eyes and her mouth widely opened. She was frozen in her seat.

I shook my head slowly. Who else could champion me in having such an ill-fated day?

Everything on this damn day was abnormal. Freakin’s**t!

I was not superstitious, but... was it written in the stars?

The ghostly-looking lady was the same one who got my private! The person I whispered a while ago not to see again was right beside me. I sighed and closed my eyes before I utter real unflattering words...

I asked several times...What's wrong with today?!?

This was definitely a freakish, horrendous, and nightmarish day!

****

DANICA

I gulped several times.

Did I offend the universe? Why was I so unlucky today? I looked at the man by my side in shock!

I wasn't able to say a word when he looked at me as if I was a fly that he wanted to smack dead with blood splashing all over the place. His gaze was dangerously violent. I quivered in fear.

Was it my fault to be utterly nervous while riding a plane for the first time?

I was so overwhelmed by the experience, and because of that, I was absent-minded and did a lot of things I wouldn’t normally do.

Just the thought of what happened earlier made me want to pull my hair and scream until I have no voice left. I never meant to hold his thing. Never in my life would I want to do that with any man. Oh! I was utterly embarrassed. I cringed.

Then I seemed to hear a faint voice, “Dumbest crazy b***h!”

It comes like an echo; it was vibrating in my ears.

The man didn't say anything, but his stare could burn me to ashes. His tight mouth must be silently cursing me for what I did earlier.

The thought of it made me sad. I'm not crazy, more so not a b***h. I was just freaking nervous!

Out of the blue, I thought of apologizing to the man...however, part of me said not to talk to him.

“Don’t talk to him, or else you might be thrown out of the plane!”

My body trembled in fear! I dismissed the idea right away.

Why in the hell, he needed to sit beside me? Of all the seats available in this golly wow first-class cabin, why was he the ONE seated beside me?

I almost cried, but I refused to show weakness in front of the man.

Was the universe playing a filthy trick on me?

I turned to look again at him. His displeased eyes were closed to my relief.

It gave me the chance to gaze at him thoroughly.

In fairness, he's a good-looking man, especially if his eyes were closed and not glaring at me with contempt. His face was not usual, mixed-blood perhaps? I've yet to see someone with awesome gorgeousness before, very tall and so manly. His body under his piece of clothing looks muscled. I wonder if he has abs? It's not surprising since he carried his expensive coat so well. Physically he would pass with first-class merit. He's gorgeous as sin.

But...but...but!

What I touched earlier was a hard one. A real huge hard one! Just the thought of it made me tremble in shame.

Danie, you just violated a gorgeous man to the extreme. He might think of you like a moron!

An empty-headed imbecile and a horny b***h!

I smacked my head several times. The situation earlier was a real bummer.

However, what happened earlier was just an accident, and I was far from an imbecile, moron, and horny b***h! I couldn't be hard on myself. I was just a victim of circumstance.

With that in mind, I’ve decided not to talk to him. Anyway, he didn’t look approachable. Snobbish and as cold as ice.

Of all people inside this plane definitely, I AM NOT THE ONE he would wish to see again. BUT, I did not ask to be seated with HIM too. He was the last one I wished to encounter on this flight.

To make myself feel better...I passed the blame on him.

I wasn’t guilty of harassing or molesting him! He was the one who just popped at my back! He could have avoided my hand instead of just standing there and waiting until I withdrew my hand from his private. Shameless devil!

Also, he's not exactly my type, so why would I harass him? A man more gorgeous than a woman was not my cup of tea.Therefore, I should relax for the rest of the flight and hope never to see his face again. Our path should never cross, never! I gathered my things and looked in the opposite direction.

Hmph!

I looked at the other side of the cabin and promised myself not to look at his side whatever happens.

He wasn’t friendly and gentlemanly despite my earlier apology? Therefore...

Humph! Let his saliva dry in his throat for all I care!

After I released my frustrations...I feel more at peace and ease.

I settled in my seat and listened to the music on my mobile phone.

It was hard at first, but my stressed body and mind finally settled.

I wasn't able to sleep well last night because I was rushing for my book deadline, thus sleeping for the rest of the flight would be so welcoming for me.

Goodbye, handsome devil...I hope never to see you again! I murmured before sleep got me.
