The next morning Myra woke up feeling anxious, she felt jittery before going to Ayesha's house. It has been established that Amy didn't want to tell her anything. She didn't want to think about our father's death. She just have to accept the truth. She knew that her parents were together since high school. They must have a fairy tale like love story that she didn't get to have. Speaking of love, she didn't know where she stand with Dhruv.

 She sat and stare at all the pictures she had stuck up on her wall and with time one of them had become her favourite, it was Dhruv's. She took it during the trip when he was not looking and it is adorable. That lovely jerk.

She quickly got ready. She grabbed her phone and camera but she put the latter back, the camera didn't have any use today. It's just a force of habit. She came down and find an empty kitchen and make herself a quick breakfast and book an cab on Uber. Just as she was waiting for her ride, Dee voice's rang out.

"Are you going somewhere Myra?" Dee came with her Pooja thali after completing her morning ritual. She set it down on the dining table.

"Yes. I am going to Naina's." She lied. She can't have them telling where is her destination today.

"And you were going to go without telling us." Dee said in an accusing tone.

"I was going to tell you now." She said in a pacifying tone.

"Did you have breakfast?"

"Yes, I made myself some noodles."

"Grams my cab is here. Gotta go." Saying this she walked out the house.

"WAIT!" Dee shouted, "You have to come back early. We want to talk about something with you." She came at the door.

"Okay." Saying this Myra got into the cab. Dee having a bad felling seeing the car rolling down the road. She dismissed it as nothing. It's must be nerves as they were finally going to tell her about her father.

In the car Myra texted Ayesha mam that she is on the way and instantly received a reply that she is waiting for her. She tried to calm her fast beating heard down. In a minute she saw her phone getting turned off. In hurry she forget to charge her phone. Shit.

Ayesha!

AYESHA!!!

Only one word running through his mind. Just as the name leave the his Dad's mouth, Dhruv bolted through the door. Stumbling and pushing everything and everyone out of his way he exited the hospital. Outside he tried Myra's cell but it turned directly to voice mail.

"Fuck!" He ran a hand through his hair. He had to tell her as quickly as possible. Hurriedly he tried to flag down a taxi. After some excruciating minutes he get ahold of a taxi. He gave the driver the address and tried again and again calling Myra, every time it came switched off. During the whole ride he couldn't keep his body still. Why there is traffic in this city? Dhruv thought frustrated seeing the long line of cars ahead him.
