And life brightens



BETWEEN THEM
Part 15

He had so much to do.... There was absolutely no time to think of anything else....

Packing... It was the only part of shifting back that was over within a day....
Paper work.... And all the official requirements...

Calls....

When he finally could take a whole afternoon's worth of rest, it was the day before he was leaving back to India....

Back to home ground....

His mom had been very relieved and more than just happy... His dad had taken the news as yet another information about him....
His brother was more bothered about his promotion....

All that mattered to Krish now was that he was going to say a bye to his loneliness.
And something else too mattered.....


The last day of his stay in Malaysia, he went shopping...
Nothing much... other than chocolates and some gifts for everyone at home.....

On an impulse, he bought a single glass rose with a stem....
It was a beautiful piece of art....

And he knew who deserved it......


And from inside the plane that night, the stars seemed to glow brighter than they ever had....


His driver was waiting for him.... The trip home was silent.

Bangalore seemed different this time.... Warmer even in that cold dawn...



And somewhere in another part of that city, Shriya woke up with a dream that scared her with it's intensity.....
