As I listened to Veera's words through the phone, a chill ran down my spine. Meera's surgery being moved up was not just unexpected—it was unthinkable. She wasn't supposed to undergo surgery so soon, not when we had meticulously planned every detail to ensure her safety.
My hands trembled as I handed the phone back to Arjun, my mind racing with a torrent of thoughts and emotions. "This can't be happening," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.
Arjun's gaze softened as he reached out to me, his touch a comforting anchor. "Angel, listen to me," he said gently, his voice calm and reassuring. "We'll figure this out together. Meera is a fighter, and we'll do everything we can to support her."
I shook my head, unable to shake the sense of disbelief that gripped me. "But this wasn't supposed to happen," I protested, my voice tinged with panic. "Meera's condition was stable. We had more time."
Arjun pulled me close, enveloping me in his huge arms. "I know, love," he murmured, his words a soothing balm against the storm raging within me. "But sometimes, life throws us curveballs. All we can do is face them together, one step at a time."
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I buried my face in Arjun's chest, drawing strength from his presence.
"Arjun," I whispered, my voice barely audible amidst the chaos in my mind. "We need to leave."
Arjun's touch was the only thing grounding me at that moment. "Shruthi, let's take a moment," he said softly. "I'll pack our things, and you go freshen up. We'll leave as soon as we're ready."
His words steadied my racing heart, and I nodded in agreement, grateful for his presence. With a determined nod, I made my way to the bathroom, the sound of rushing water offering a momentary distraction from the whirlwind of emotions.
The hot water cascading over me was washing away the tension that had settled in my bones. I moved quickly, the urgency of the situation making me faster. In record time, I emerged from the shower, feeling slightly more composed, yet still reeling from the news.
As I stepped into the room, a sense of relief washed over me. Arjun had already packed our belongings, his efficiency a testament to his unwavering support. "I've booked a cab to the airport," he informed me, his voice calm despite the urgency of the situation.
With a nod of gratitude, I watched as Arjun made his way to the bathroom. As I waited for him to return, a sense of determination settled within me.
As the airplane hummed with the steady rhythm of flight, I found myself filled with a million thoughts, my mind consumed by worry for Meera. Sitting beside Arjun, I fidgeted with the edges of my seat, unable to shake the sense of unease that gnawed at my insides.
Arjun glanced over at me, concern etched into his features. "Angel,you need to get some sleep," he said gently, his voice a soothing presence amidst the chaos of my thoughts. "You won't be able to rest once we reach Chennai."
