It's been 3 weeks since Manik left for his shoot and they continued talking through messages, video calls and voice calls whenever possible.

One such evening, Manik was supposed to start for his shoot and Nandini just returned to her flat and he made a quick video call upon seeing her message.

"Hey..." He said being fresh to start his shoot while she was exhausted after a tiring day.

"Hi..." She said bringing back her smile after a whole day.

"Tired...??" He asked and she nodded her in yes.

"Lot of work...And I went for shopping also..." She said moving to her bedroom.

"Oh...Tired of shopping...Say that..." He said with a teasing smile.

"No No...It's not my shopping...I have bought few decorative items for the house...I have said na...Flower vase will look good and all...So bought all those..." She said taking out her night dress.

"Ohhh...For our home...Hmmm...Show me once..." He asked and she shrugged saying "I have arranged there and came...Will show you once I go there again..."

He frowned listening her and asked "Cabir said he was busy whole day...You went alone...??"

Her silent and scared face caught his attention before passing an angry glare.

"Umm...Sorry...I will be busy for next few days and also, I can't keep bugging Cabir bhai for small things...So..." She said slowly while he still glared at her.

"Nandini...There will be a reason if I say something...I will not instruct you about something just like that...Will I...?? That colony villas are not occupied yet...Workers are doing construction work...That's not safe to go alone...And that's why I have asked you to take Cabir with you...You...You just...Leave it..." He said and cut the call clearly showing his disappointment.

She tried calling him again but he kept declining her calls, not because he didn't want to talk but to not lose his words at her in anger.

She texted multiple sorry messages and he just replied "Shooting"

She stopped texting and worried on how to pacify the angry man who was miles away from her. She knew he will forget all other things while shooting and she didn't want to disturb his dedication.

Sleepless nights were long gone after Manik entered into her life and she feared if they are going to re-enter in her life.

She waited till he texted that he came back from shoot.

Whatever may be the emotion they are in, none shows it on that 1 message which says 'I'm back safe'.

"Please just pick the call once..." She sent the message for one last time and he took a deep breath before calling her.

Once again, she was greeted with the same angry face.

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry...I'll never do it again...Please..." She said with tears in her eyes.

That moment she realized that she can't imagine a life without him.

And all he wanted to do was, to stay beside her to wipe her tears even if the reason for her tears is him.

Realization hit them hard that they were actually separated and were yearning for each other all these years of their life. A support system for each other.

Silence filled the air while they stared at each other with tear filled eyes.

"Suniye..." Her mere call brought him back to reality and he blinked twice to stop his tears while she wiped them with the back of her hand.

"Sorry..." She mumbled again and he passed a small smile to which she heaved a sigh of relief.

"You better not do that again..." He said and she nodded her head fast agreeing to his point.

He chuckled seeing her and said "Go and sleep now...I have an early morning shoot as well..."

She smiled and bid bye to him. They had nearly 5 hours' time difference and so it's midnight for Nandini while it's his bed time.
