|2 weeks later|

It's been almsot 15 days 12 hours 20 minutes and 30 seconds approximately since I have spoken to Viraj. No I'm not a math genius but love does make you do crazy things. It's true what they say, when you're in love everything in your world will shift and start to revolve around that person.

|Flashback|

15 days back when he went on that mission there was some news about it airing on the news channels. It said something about the army had captured a very dangerous terrorist. Much to mine and Annie's relief it didn't say anything about our countrymen being injured or anything.

Yet that didn't stop my overthinking brain from formulating some stupid scenario. In spite of Annie's constant assurance I needed to hear his voice in order to actually believe that he was safe. Unfortunately luck wasn't on my side as it was the previous night. The stupid call wouldn't connect and what irked me even more was that Annie was enjoying the shit show.

I glared at her and gave her my mean look but all she did was laugh harder. She pinched my cheeks while I whined like a kid. "Annie stop it yaar! Do something! I want to talk to him! No scratch that I need to talk to him!" She once again bit her lips and snorted a laugh.

I groaned and slapped her hand. "Ouch! Okay look I know all of this is new to you. Naina when your call connected last night that was just beginners luck! You need to understand that this isn't going to happen all the time sweetie." I whined once again and banged my head against the counter at the bakery.

Annie laughed and ruffled my hair irritaing me even more. I didn't understand how she could be so cool about it. I sat up with a jerk as my mind came up with a brilliant idea. I snapped my fingers to get Annie's attention. "Oh I know maybe we can call the phone company and pretend to be someone famous and try getting their location. Or better yet we could umm ask them to directly connect us to them. What do you say? Shall I do that?"

Annie stared at me with her mouth agape and brusted out into pleas of laughter. Some of the customers gave her a weird look. She was laughing so hard that tears were leaking out of her eyes. I whined and shoved her. After controlling her laugh she wiped her face. " I'm sorry that was so funny! You're so cute!!! Although I have to say that was such an unrealistic idea! It doesn't work that way Naina!"

I huffed and turned away from her. "I know this is the worst part but I told you we have no other choice other than waiting for them to call us." Annie was serious all of a sudden. I sighed sadly and nodded my head. "Hey don't be bummed out! Come on have another cupcake!" She shoved her signature chocolate cupcake right in front of my face.
