Manik's POV

This has been a super long flight. We've just landed in Chicago for the layover and from here we'll board our flight to San Francisco. "Manik bhuk lagi hai... Khaa lete hai" Cabir said as we cleared security and Mukti Alya and Dhruv were walking together chitchatting about God knows what.

"Haan Manik please let's eat some place. The food on flight was not good at all" Alya persisted as she came forward next to me taking me in a side hug kind of position "guys! Mujhe kyu pooch rahe ho? Am I your dad? Permission kyu le rahe ho. Go order and take a seat, I'll be back." I turned to walk away from them when Cabir stopped me "tu kaha jaa raha hai?" They all raised their eyebrows as he asked "just going to call Nandini" I responded as I took my phone out.

"Humare saamne baat karne mein sharam aa rahi hai?" Ofcourse Cabir had to say something like this. "Cabir! Jao na tum log. I'll be there in a few minutes" without any responses, understanding my situation they left to go eat while I dialed her number. I really hope I'm not waking her up since it's like 1am there. I let it ring till the last ring then I sighed.

She must be asleep... Busy day I guess. I was about to turn around when I got her call. "I'm so sorry Maine tumhe utha diya" I said the first thing to her  as I did feel bad for waking her up.

N- relax Manik... I was downstairs when you called. Phone lene upar ayi toh cut hogaya.

M- itni raat ko? Kuch hua kya?

N- no no.. Amms aur Amma ke sath time spend kar rahi thi.

M- achaa? Aur mere saath kon karega time spend?

N- Tum hi mujhe chhod ke gaye ho...

M- please don't say that Jaan.. I wish I could take you with me.

N- acha vaise have you reached?

M- Haan Chicago pohoch gaye ab yaha se 2 hours ke baad ki flight hai to San Francisco.

N- oh toh phir did you guys eat on the flight? You feeling okay Manik?

M- Haan baba khaya tha... It was not great but it's fine. Abhi hum khana khane hi wale hai. Don't worry sab theek hai.

N- okay you continue.. main bhi sone jaati hu ab

M- baat nahi kar sakti? I miss you

N- okay 5 mins karungi then you go too okay? I'll be right back... Amma ko goodnight wish kar ke aati hu

With that she set the phone aside somewhere and silence prevailed.
I am genuinely missing her right now, I really want to hug her.

N- hey! Sorry extra minute laga diya.. ab bolo

M- main kya bolu, you tell me how was your day??

N- it was okay... Busy tha. Surgeries the and then came here.. thoda late bhi ho gaya mujhe.. mom aye the yaha

M- achaa so girls sleepover?

N- no no she left a while back. Dad aa gaye the. Mujhe actually waha hona chahiye tha .. mom sab akele kaise karenge

M- chill Nandini.. mom aur dad ko rehne do na akele. Hume na sahi unhe toh ek dusre ke saath time mile. Aur servants hai na for everything, why worry so much then?
