Chapter 90

She was busy with her work as usual and it was already two in the afternoon. She was feeling hungry but didn’t feel like eating, just grabbed a granola bar and some juice which she always keeps in her office for emergencies. She was not sure if the granola was good or she was very hungry either way she felt better after finishing both and slowly one by one her employees wished her a happy weekend and was leaving for day.

She thought she would leave by three thirty or so, grabbing some gift on the way before visiting Sara and the thought of Sara, made her wonder how John and Arjun were. She went on to the internet to search on the site to find her classmates, she was curious and her trails of thoughts were interrupted when the phone rang. By the ring tone she knew it was Pryag. She ignored and let it go to the message, but it looked like he was determined to get her and in the end she gave in and picked it up.

He sounded frantic and desperate on the other end and she wondered why. “When are you coming?” was his first question. He ranted on, “It is like a war zone here, everyone is snapping at each other, everyone is tensed up and is driving me nuts. I thought of having a nice time with family before my surgery, but the pressure seems to be driving everybody nuts. Please, get over here as early as possible, I am going insane.” She was not left with much of a choice and agreed to be there in an hour.
