The Desperate Kingdom of Love**COMPLETE**

Chapter 18 - Stealing Chances

She heard him answer - " yeah, i did, but the business class is full already, you know these morning flights are jam packed..whats your seat number??

Arnav saw Zoya speak carefully - " iv got a seat next to him..."

Arnav checked her seat no, and he realised what she just said, these damm Vistara attendants, had given his sister a seat, right next to Asad Ahemed Khan.

He found himself glaring at his enemy, who gave him a cold look, and resumed his attention to the newspaper, and he stated angrily- " what the hell?? no way are you sitting next to him, no way, i will not allow it...under no circumstances...will i...allow this nonsense...ill just ask the crew to

"

People were gathering behind them, to get in, and she said - "oh bhai, stop creating a scene, how about this, next time, we send a disclaimer to Vistara or maybe all airlines stating Khan -Raizada rivalry...how dare they give us a seat beside each other, but for now, i dont want to create a scene...pls..."

People were lining up, behind them, and Arnav reluctantly got into his seat, which was right in the second row, his blood boiled as he watched his sister walk right at the back,and she gave him a small reassuring smile, as she sat next to Asad Ahemed Khan.

..........

Asad continued reading the newspaper and he tried to hide his smile, as he saw Zoya next to him , and he saw Zoya see his smile, and he stopped,as he heard her whisper - " no no, go on smile all you want, i am sure you are enjoying it..."

He couldn't help but smile - " yeah, i am obviously, i am thoroughly enjoying your brother's discomfort..."

Zoya rolled her eyes as she gently touched his hand - " Asad, will you exchange your seat with him, please?? he will be..."

Asad winked - " he will be boiling for next couple of hours, just like he is now, no way am i exchanging this for anything, and miss the opportunity to sit next to you, and have Raizada sulk at the same time,im loving it..."

Zoya couldn't help but give a small smile, his dimpled grin, was way too contagious, but she said in a soft voice - " Asad, please, hes my brother, for me, i dont want him to get uncomfortable, you know it can affect my opportunity to sneak out to meet you in Bombay, now you decide..."

Asad rolled his eyes, this woman knew how to handle him.Hewhispered softly - "blackmailing with a point, i can't fight, alright fine, go tell him ill change the seat..."

Zoya smiled - " thanks, you get some extra points for that...but hey, it makes no sense, if i go tell him ,and then we come back here, and then you go to ur seat, why dont you just go tell him, and he will come here...easy..."

Asad looked at her shocked - " what?? you want me to speak to your brother, i haven't spoken to him since..."

"ten years , i know, god Asad, quit it now is not the time, almost ready for take off, please, for me....for your Zoya??", she said in the voice he couldn't say no to.

Asad groaned - " Fine.Doesnt matter, its only about exchanging seats, shouldn't be a big deal, but do i get some brownie points for that?"

Zoya grinned - " yeah maybe you do..."

Asad winked - " just so you know when i redeem these so called points,you will be in no state to think anything else, other than me",he finished with a naughty smirk, which made her blush.And he got up in an instant, and made his way front.

Zoya watched Asad walk, and she made the mental note to thank him again for this.

Arnav looked at his watch, it had been 7 minutes, since Zoya had been sitting next to Asad Ahemed Khan,and it made him very uncomfortable, he didn't want his sister to ever be in a situation, that could lead to a conversation with Asad Ahemed Khan, and right now, she was in the exact scenario, sitting right next to him , for the next couple of hours. It was right then he spotted Asad, standing in front of him.He watched him straighten his coat,but he continued to stand, in silence.
