He flung the car keys on the drawing room sofa and marched inside another room. The room had dim lights and a single couch.

He sat over and threw his head back resting his lids by closing them. He opened them just to stare at the plain ceiling.

His eyes looked vague, deep inside they held sadness, anger and so many unanswered questions, but there was no one to answer them.

He shifted in New York a year ago leaving everyone and everything aside.

Reading it broke his heart but he still waited for her.

It was Naira's first day and she was running here and there in panic.
Kevin was going to drop her.

"First of all calm down and relax-"

"Relax my foot!"

"Naira stop eating my brain..."

"Do you have one atleast?"

"Ughh! Ok fine you win I lose...but you wouldn't get a better opportunity than this...His company has got a lot of reach and he was the one who hosted that exhibition."

"Exactly! And I don't know whether I will be good or not..."
