Chapter 83

She reached for the nutri-bar and took a byte but she could hardly take a couple of bytes. For some reason it didn’t taste good. She pulled over at a fast food restaurant, ordered a sandwich and walked over to her car and started eating it. By the time she had finished her sandwich, it had turned dark and the traffic had relatively subsided when she merged onto the highway. She noticed that her phone was blinking indicating she had a voice message.

She had five messages, two of them were from Pryag wondering why he hadn’t heard from her and requesting her to spend the long weekend with him and his family. The other two messages were official, calls she had placed regarding the shipment problems. She made a note in her mind that she had to follow up on these issues based on the information she had received as soon as she gets home, if not the first thing tomorrow.

She called Pryag and spoke with him and he seemed worried that he hadn’t heard from her in the past three days. She apologized that she was caught up in her work and was too busy and forgot about everything else. Chari cam on the line and asked her to spend time with them over the weekend. He didn’t have to say why, but she knew, of course he loved her as a daughter, he felt a strength especially when Pryag will be in surgery the following Monday, he definitely wanted her to be there. She immediately agreed and ended the conversation. She noticed she had one more message on her phone and that message excited her, something she had not expected. She was thrilled and immediately call the number back and her eyes were all lit up with enthusiasm.
