Chapter 79

Route 97 was starting to pickup traffic and the sun was bright and shinny and there were no signs indicating that it poured last night. The sun had dried up even the last traces of droplets that were left over by yesterdays thunder storm. She looked at the digital display on her dash board and it showed it was almost eleven thirty. She turned around and looked at Pryag, he had closed his eyes and had stretched his legs, she was not sure if he was sleeping or just resting, either way she didn’t want to disturb him.

She realized that she must have had a good nights sleep, and she thanked Akshar and her lips adorned a smile. She wondered how they had accidentally met and how supportive he had been, but the smile faded when she remembered how vulnerable she had been and wept in his arms, something she didn’t want to remember. She distracted herself and thought about Chari and how he was going to react, how upset he is going to be.

She had not realized how long she has been thinking about these, nor how good the traffic had been and she was already in the corner of the street and Pryag still had his eyes closed. She pulled over onto the drive way and Chari’s wife came over and opened the door. She could tell by looking at her that she was not happy. She started to worry how she was going to react when Pryag breaks the news to her. She parked the car and as if he had sensed her emotion he woke up, smiled and they both stepped out of the car. Chari’s wife’s face turned pale looking at her son, she knew something was not right.
