Beneath The Rajvanshi Crown Chapter -16

Airport Announcer:

"Flight AI-207 to Delhi is now boarding. Passengers, please proceed to Gate 6."

Rudra gets up, picking up his bag with ease, and looks at Ishani with a small smile.

ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi

Well, let's go. Delhi is waiting.

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(standing up, adjusting her cap): "Yes... Delhi."

Boarding the Flight

As Ishani and Rudra step into the plane, they exchange a polite nod.

ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi

Well, Dr. Maheshwari, Looks like we part ways here. Have a safe journey.

FL Ishani Maheshwari

Safe journey to you too, Rana Sa.😊

Rudra gives her a brief nod before heading toward the business class section. Ishani walks to the economy section, holding her boarding pass tightly. She finds her seat near the window, places her bag in the overhead compartment, and sits down, looking tense.

Ishani fidgets with her seatbelt, glancing around nervously. Her thoughts are a mix of the upcoming seminar and the uneasiness she feels about being in Delhi. As she takes a deep breath, an air hostess approaches her with a kind smile.

Airhostess

(politely)"Excuse me, ma'am. Can I see your boarding pass, please?"

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(politely)"Why? Is something wrong? This is my seat."

She hands over the boarding pass, her brow furrowed in concern. The air hostess glances at it and smiles warmly.

Airhostess

"Oh no, ma'am, there's no issue. But this isn't your seat anymore."

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(Startled) "What do you mean? It says 12A on my pass."

Airhostess

(leaning closer, smiling): "Your seat has been upgraded to business class, ma'am. Please follow me."

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(shocked): "Upgraded? But... how? I didn't request any upgrade."

Airhostess

(politely): "I'm not sure, ma'am. All I know is your ticket now shows a business class seat. Please come with me."

Airhostess

Ishani looks around, completely baffled. She gathers her things hesitantly and follows the air hostess toward the front of the plane.

Business Class

Rudra is comfortably seated, flipping through a magazine, when he notices Ishani being escorted to the business class section. A knowing smirk tugs at the corner of his lips as she approaches, looking completely bewildered. The air hostess shows her to the seat directly across from Rudra

Airhostess

(gesturing): "Here you go, ma'am. Please make yourself comfortable."

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(hesitantly sitting): "Thank you..."

As the air hostess leaves, Ishani looks around nervously. She finally notices Rudra watching her with an amused expression.

ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi

(raising an eyebrow): "Nice to see you here, Dr. Maheshwari. Decided to upgrade yourself for the better service?"

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(shaking her head quickly): "No! I didn't do this. I don't know how this happened!"

Rudra leans back in his seat, his smirk growing.

ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi

(teasing): "Really? Maybe someone thought you deserved better than the economy section."

FL Ishani Maheshwari

(narrowing her eyes, suspicious): "Did you... have anything to do with this, Rana Sa?"

ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi

(acting innocent): "Me? Why would I do that? I'm just as surprised as you are."

Ishani looks at him doubtfully but decides not to argue.Thinking that he's right why will he upgrade my seat...She sits quietly, trying to focus on calming her nerves, while Rudra watches her out of the corner of his eye, clearly enjoying her reaction.

(over intercom): "We are ready for takeoff. Please fasten your seatbelts."

Ishani's heart races as panic sets in. She feels her breath quicken.
