Chapter 123

She had hardly noticed Akshar during dinner, since she was occupied with a couple of other guests over there. Three families that were there were their neighbors who left after a while and some with small kids chose to retire for the night and she was there with just his immediate family and a family friend.

She chose not to have any wine, somehow she had a feeling that it would make her feel worse, and add to the calories she had already loaded for the day. The conversations continued for a while and when it was past midnight she knew she has to get some rest. She was reluctant to ask where she can rest her head, since she was a last minute unexpected guest.

She managed to smile and stay up for a while and luckily everybody felt as tired as she did and she felt relieved that she can get some sleep. She always carried a travel kit in her bag, and especially this time she had more than what she wanted since she had stayed at Chari’s. Akshar took her to the same guest room where she had stayed last time when she was there, but this time it only had one bed. She was happy that she could finally sleep!
