Can you mend my broken heart?

"You!" exclaimed Akira and then softly pounded her fist on his chest and then nudged her head a bit up so that his lips could touch the tip of her nose.

"Do you like getting kissed here?" he asked and gently touched the tip of her nose.

"Mmmm...." she mumbled and rested on his chest. He softly patted her back to put her to sleep. It had been a long long day for her albeit a magical one.

She slept like a baby in his arms until they arrived at the airport and when they did, Raymond gently tapped on her back,

"We are here?"

"Mmmm....." she mumbled, and then she freaked out, "Oh damn! How can I take a flight wearing a wedding gown? That would be so weird!"

Raymond laughed and said,

"Even I need to change this suit!"

"Suit still looks decent and OK but..." and she suddenly halted as she could see a big blotch of saliva on his chest pocket.

"Damn! Why didn't you wake me up? I have drooled over like a monkey!"

Raymond laughed and shook his head in amusement and said,

"There are spare clothes for both of us in the cabin bag," and saying that he pointed towards the duffel bag and said,

"You can change in the lounge once you check in!"

"All right!" beamed Akira happily and moved aside so that porter could take care of their luggage. Avoiding the staring eyes of people they completed the check-in process and went to the lounge. 

"I am gonna change first!" said Akira and rushed towards the washroom. She was in no way in a mood to take on any more staring or the judgment in people's eyes.

She carefully lifted her dress and went inside a stall and changed into a yellow floral skater dress. Carefully she folded her wedding gown and placed it inside the duffel bag and then went outside to the washing area.

Taking a piece of tissue she slowly dabbed the corner of her eyes and then wiped away the mild drool mark from the corner of her lips. She smiled as she wiped it away for there was a man for her in the world who didn't care how much soever she drooled all over him. It made her happy.

And as she came out, she saw him leaning just outside the wall, browsing his phone.

"You are here!"

He turned to look at her and a smile etched on his face. After all he was with his pretty wife.

"You look beautiful my wifey," he said and brushed the back of his palm on her cheeks. Looking coyly up at him, she whispered, "You don't look so bad either hubby!"

"Damn! I was dying to hear that!" and saying that he picked up the duffel bag from her and held it in his left hand and with his right, he held her hand and walked towards the resting area.

They had barely some fifteen minutes before boarding.

"You rest here. I am going to get us some coffee!" he said and then walked towards the Starbucks. 

She looked at him walking towards the coffee shop and wondered,

'What would have happened, if she had not collided with him that day?'

'What would have happened if she had not dared to take that business class ticket?'

As the thoughts swirled in her head, she kept admiring how handsome he looked even from behind.

"Triple Venti, Soy, No Foam Latte, and One Basic Latte with hazelnut drip to go."

He ordered the drink and turned back to have a look at her and found her gazing in his direction. This was something called pure love that did nothing but fill the heart with happiness.

Picking up the coffee he went close to her and sat opposite to her by pulling a bean bag.

"So are you excited?"

She nodded as she took a sip of her latte.

"Is it good?"

"Uh..hum..." she nodded looking fondly at him.

"What is it?" 

"Nothing!" she replied and looked down and started tapping her toes on the floor.

"Click... Clack... Click... Clack..."

"Your legs must be hurting in those heels," he asked looking a bit worried.

"Not much!" she said as she curled her toes.

"Come here," he said and pulling the bean bag closer, he lifted her legs and placed them on his lap.

"What are you doing? Boarding will start in some time!" 

"Susshhh!" he said and removed the strap of her heels. Then placing his palm around his mouth he blew out his hot breath to warm up his palm and then rubbed them against the sole of her feet.

She giggled as it tickled a bit.

"It tickles!"

"Ah! My sensitive wifey. Where all you don't tickle?" he said and chuckled.

"Unnnnn...." she muttered a bit irked with his comment.

"No, I am serious. You are like that touch me not plant. The moment I touch you... You..." but then suddenly he stopped.

"I what?" asked Akira but Raymond just shook his head and kept laughing.

"Oh come on! As if you don't tickle," and saying that she moved a bit forward and tickled him around his waist. 

Surprised with the sudden attack of hers he moved back a bit and his hand hit his coffee cup.

They were back to Day 1 again.

The airport was different, the scenario was different, the time of the day was different, but it all felt like a déjà vu.

"No way!" Akira almost screamed as the coffee spilled a bit on the floor, but mostly on his hand and his jacket.

Biting her lips she looked at him apologetically. "Sorry!" she said and took out a soft tissue packet from the bag.

As he got up and cleaned himself, he looked at her and said,

"Don't say sorry. You just filled the gaps in the perfect recreation of our first meet!" and saying that he gathered all the tissues and the coffee cup and gave a short kiss on her head and walked towards the dustbin.

She could feel her heart skip a beat!
