27 The journey started....

Next day, Zinu and Ronnie get in the car, which was sent by John. John himself wanted to pick up them but Charlie adviced not to,as Zinu may suspect his intention. So, he directly boarded the plane and waited for Zinu and Ronnie. Ten minutes later they too boarded the plane. Charlie gave his farewell as the plane takeoff. Ronnie was very much excited. First, his first foreign journey. Ronnie always wanted to go to any foreign country. So, Zinu made ready his passport, but she got never a chance to visit one. They both thought that, they would be going by commercial aeroplane, but mother-son duet shocked to know that, they were travelling by private jet of 'Smith Enterprise'.

As, they boarded the plan, they shocked to see the interior of the jet. It was more like a seven star hotel room. As Ronnie entered, John came forward and smiled to Ronnie and said, "Welcome to my jet, little hero." Ronnie smiled shyly. John lifted up Ronnie and pinched his nose, and keep him in a window seat and fastened his seatbelt. John sat besides Ronnie. He smiled to Zinu and pointed her to sit besides him. Zinu followed and sat. John bent towards her and fastened her seatbelt also. Zinu felt her heart stopped beating for a few seconds. She stiffened. She, could smell his fragrance. In nervousness she closed her eyes. John smiled mischievously and handed her a megazine. When Zinu felt something on her palm, she opened her eyes. When, she saw the megazine her eyes brighten. It was her favorite megazine.She was searching for this limited edition for long time. Now, unexpectedly she got this. She was excited. She smiled and thank John for this. As per John's investigation, Zinu had aerophobia. She would never come for this long journey, it it was not for her job. So, John decided to help her to get ride of this phobia. She engrossed herself in the megazine. She forgot that, she is in a flight. As the flight was talking off,she felt nervousness. John was observing her changing expression. Her face was paled. He, hesitatingly took her hand and hold tight. Zinu's eyes widen, but she didn't tried to pull out her hands. She felt protected and calm down. Her nervousness vanished. She thanked John in heart. On the other hand, Ronnie was too much excited to see the small houses, rivers and the clouds. He was excitedly jumping and clapping his hands. Zinu felt shy and guilty both for his behaviour.She wanted to scold Ronnie,but John shook his head and signal her not to stop him. He was enjoying Ronnie's presence.He didn't want Ronnie to feel sad for any reason.Actually it was his first journey by flight.So, he over excited. But, due to over excitement, he felt tired and started yawning. John smiled and called Ronnie to sit on his lap. Ronnie happily sat on his lap and keep his head on his shoulder. John ran his fingers through his hairs and within a minute Ronnie was in deep slumber. John too felt tired, because he had to wake up early for the journey. So, he hold Ronnie on his chest and slept.

At that time, Zinu was in washroom. When she returned, as she saw the scene in front of her, tears to show up in her eyes. They both looked like father and son. They both looked so adorable. She dreamt this scene so long. How much she hoped that someday Ronnie's father would come to their lives and hold his son like this. She went near them and tried to take Ronnie from John .John woke up by the movement.Zinu said "Boss,let me take him.You looked so tired. So, you go to the cabin and sleep."

"No, I would sleep with Ronnie. You don't worry. You too go to the next cabin and take a rest. " John said and left with Ronnie.

Zinu saw him left and sighed.At first, she thought, John is ruthless person. But gradually she observed that, he is ruthless to them, who deserves to it. Rather, he was very kind person. One day a lady employee was talking to her during lunch time that, their CEO helped many people who was in need. He built a hospital for the employees and their families, on which all treatments are free. Once a lady came to him and told that her husband was retired employee of the company. Their only son was missing for two days and police also not helping them. John immediately called his investigators and ordered them to search her son. Within two hours, her son was rescued from a human trafficking gang. That day, Zinu's view about John changed. She started to felt jealous, if any girl talked about him. Without realising she started to like John. Zinu knew she has no right to like John. He was very handsome, as well as the richest person in the country. He deserves very beautiful and rich heiress not a pauper like her. She is a mother not a virgin anymore. She had no quality to like him. But she didn't know why she everyday used to dream about him.

She knew that Ronnie need a father. But, she could not risk Ronnie's future by marrying just anybody. She knew, she would not able to find his biological father. Even if she able to find him, she could not say with claim that he would like Ronnie or is still unmarried and accept him. So, she decided to stop searching him or start over a new relationship with anyone. But, she didn't know why she always felt attraction towards John. Although she knew him for one month, but she feels that there has some invisible strings that tied her to him. She just couldn't thrown away his presence in her heart.
