A- grandma no , I can't come this week . First hear me out ,I'm really busy this week , orelse why would I miss visiting you . Hmm...Neela promise .

She hung up the call and started coughing badly . Recreating someone's voice exactly is indeed annika's speciality but the struggle is real . She cleared her throat until she could feel some ease and grabbed a glass of water soon .

Vrushali's parents had split up when she was young. They even married someone else separately , vrushali decided to come out of this . And her grandma was the only hope for her .

She took her in and helped vrushali in every way she could. Vrushali's dream of becoming a doctor wouldn't have come true if her grandma hadn't sold all her jewels and properties.

' Neela will be so happy ' Annika still remembers vrushali's words which she said while selecting a small gold ring for her grandma with the first stipend she had received.

Annika was never good in making friends, but in vrushali's case , it just happened .

She wanted to call and tell everything to grandma first , but after hearing the old Neela's innocent complains in that call , annika lost her strength. Still, she just decided to buy sometime until she finds vrushali , hope she will . Making an old lady suffer in misery of not knowing where and how to find her child seemed like a sin for annika , she couldn't tell her .


Only when sharon came near and insisted her to look upon she snapped out from her web of thoughts and noticed the call .

A- thanks.

Muttering the word , she quickly swiped the green .

A- hello .

The line seemed dead from the other side , none answered at first .

A- hello who's this ?

' annika'

Annika's eyes peeped out of the sockets on hearing that voice .

A- vrushali !

V- can't hear you annika .

Her voice hardly seemed ok .Annika caught a grip of herself and ran upstairs to the terrace of the building.

A- he hello vrushali, can you hear me ? Vrushali are you! Are you ok ?

She shouted to sound every kind of loud .

V- please take me from here annika .

Annika could hear vrushali's hard cries . She pressed the phone to her ear and shouted again.

A- I'm coming to get you vrushali, just tell me where you are ,please.

V - I ...I'm at ...

A- vrushali please don't stop talking .

V- I'm...ba baiya can you tell this place's address to my friend ,please ?

' hello'

A- yeah hel hello .

' This place is near the Nh1 highways , if you reach here and ask for the old bus stand they would tell you . And just take the second left from that bus stand . You can see this small hotel .'

A- second...left ok , thank you so much .

She wrote down the details in her note immediately.

V- annika I'm hurting inside , I don't kn

A- vrushali I'm on my way now , please wait for me there . Don't go anywhere , be with the people there. I'm coming.
