"What?" she asked.
"Where are we going with this, Preet? This attachment, this thing that we are excited about, this obsession?" Karthik voiced
"Honestly, I have no idea. I don't know what the future holds, but this time I am not going to run away," she confessed.
"How do you know?"
She kept quiet for a moment.
"Preet, I...I" he stopped.
"I what, Karthik?"
"I wish I could see you."
"Me too," she said.
Preet had an early morning meeting the next day, so she kept the call after wishing him a good night. The next day, she was busy in her meetings and didn't get time to look at her mobile. After lunch, when she switched on her WhatsApp, he had sent her an image and a message.
Chundari Penne, I know I can't be there right now, but as soon as I get well. Here's the only picture that I have of us. I cropped out everyone else. This should do until we capture some more memories together.
It was an official picture of the whole Kerala and Delhi team that they had taken on the first day. Preet hadn't realised, but Karthik was standing right next to her.
She looked at the picture and softly touched the mobile screen where Karthik's face was.
I wish I could see you. I wish I could see you.
He is sick, you idiot. But you seem to be fit and fine.
Damn! What a great idea. I will give him a surprise!
She managed everything. The leave, her work, the boss, flight tickets, packing. Usha and the best friend helped and dropped her to the airport.
