I blinked coming back to the present, it took me a second to process things through. My mouth felt cold and my mom was still calling out for me, "Rynah? Rynah, can you hear me?"
Viaan pursed his lips to hide his smirk as he headed out of the room.
"Y-yes, mother. There was a little problem with the connection." To say that I wasn't red with embarrassment would be so wrong...
God, why me?
********
"Helicopter? Did he just say helicopter?" I asked, feeling dumbstruck as I looked at other Raivardhans to confirm it to me.
We were going to die.
That was the first thought that came to my mind. I had seen a lot of news that showed helicopter accidents with no survivors.
"Nope, genius, he saidhelicopters. With an 's' at the end," Vikrant pushed his RayBan over his eyes before getting off the elevator.
Daksh sniggered a little as he and Viaan got out. We were going to the airport in two helicopters that had landed over our terrace. Our freaking own terrace!
My eyes sighted Asha standing beside Vikrant in a white shirt and cream formal pants with a black purse. Vikrant, on the other hand, was in a bluish-purple printed shirt, sleeves folded up to his elbows and beige pants.
Daksh too was in a dark blue colored shirt and white corduroy pants. Neel had yet to arrive. He had been delayed at court but he was here now, just getting ready.
The two metal bodies of the helicopters stood majestically before me. Viaan was talking to whom I presumed to be the pilots while Daksh was busy on a call. Just then the elevator opened with a ding and Neel walked out in a plain navy blue small sleeve round-necked t-shirt and dark jeans. He carried a laptop bag along with him.
I realized that somehow every one of us had ended up dressing in either a white or a blue shirt or a t-shirt. Now that was called a family.
"Let's get going," Viaan announced, ushering us towards the awaiting helicopters. Neel, Asha, and Vikrant climbed into the first helicopter that took off almost immediately. While I, Viaan and Daksh got into another helicopter.
I had been hesitant to climb into it for never having any experience of it before but when Viaan had stretched his hand out for me, no second thoughts entered my mind. I was inside the metal body of the beast when Viaan handed me the earplugs, "It can get quite loud in here."
And I found him and Daksh each wearing a pair of them making me follow suit. My hands trembled when the blades started to rotate, roaring loudly. He wasn't kidding when he said it would be loud in here.
I shut my eyes tightly as I felt the helicopter lift off. My heart pounding wildly inside my chest.
I'm going to die... I'm going to die...That was all I could think about. And even the fact that I wasn’t going to die out of a terrific helicopter crash, my heart was going to pump itself to death...
All of my thoughts came to a standstill when I felt a warm rough hand over my smaller ones. I opened my eyes to see Viaan staring down at me, "it's alright. We have used this thing a lot of times, so we know it's safe."
"We are going to die..." I squeaked in a whisper, my eyes saucer wide. And before I knew it, I had pulled myself closer to Viaan as I hid my face in his chest. My cap tilted in a weird angle, letting me rest my head better over his torso. His heart was beating steadily as usual. I felt his hand wrap around my shoulder making me immediately feel safe. His calmness helped me calm down. The comfortable silence around, if I excluded the loud blade slapping, was honestly peaceful.
I sneaked a peek at Daksh who he was busy with at his tablet. I would have concluded that he didn't see what transpired between us. But then, a tiny curl of his lips told otherwise.
About ten minutes later, the helicopter started to descend. I could see the other helicopter landing down parallel to ours.
"We're here," the pilot announced, making me sit up straighter. I did not doubt that my cheeks were flaming red.
Thankfully, none of the brothers commented about it. We got down the helicopter only to be rushed towards a private jet that stood about a hundred meters from us.
"Aren't we supposed to get the security check?" I queried, trying to match my pace with that of the men.
"It doesn't apply when we are its owners," Neel replied, looking over his shoulder at me. I should have guessed it already. Many things don't apply to them. And many things they own already.
The pilots greeted us on reaching the plane and so did the two air hostesses who smiled at us welcomingly. I felt my mouth drop open as soon as I entered the plane.
I had never seen the interiors of a plane before but after seeing this one I could easily tell that it was a lavish one. Because one thing was for sure, the normal planes didn't have cream, brown and blue colored fluff sofas and soft cream rugs on the floor. Or the teapoys before the sofas or the elegant lighting. On the other end, I could see three open doors. Two of them were washrooms while the other one was the bedroom with double bed!
I swear I could hear Aaryan's voice in my head saying,'Welcome to the sweet side of the Raivardhan lives, Craziness.'
