Esha rolled her eyes. "I don't think it has any destiny."

Ruhi sat down on the edge of the couch, staring at her hands, her voice low but firm. "I believe in destiny. But we don't know what our destiny is. At least we can choose to do whatever we want. If our soul wants something, then why not follow it? I love him. How do I move on from him?"

Esha raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "When is he leaving?"

Ruhi glanced at the clock on the wall, her voice a mixture of sadness and acceptance. "Today at 7 pm."

Esha's eyes widened in disbelief. She shook her head, her tone sharp with surprise. "What? Today?"

Ruhi nodded slowly, her lips tight. "Yes, his flight is today."

Esha's face twisted with urgency, the realization of time setting in. "Ruhi, it's already 5 pm. Listen, do you want to meet him?"

Ruhi looked up at her, confusion and doubt flickering in her eyes. "What? I mean, how?"

Esha stood up abruptly, a spark of excitement lighting her face. "Let's go to the airport. With me."

Ruhi's brow furrowed, her voice laced with hesitation. "It's not possible."

Esha threw her hands up, frustration creeping into her tone. "Why not? If you want to see him, this is your chance. Just come with me."

Ruhi paused, her thoughts racing. She wanted to see him, but the practicality of it seemed impossible. Her heart raced, unsure whether this was the right decision. "I don't know, Esha... we're running out of time."

Esha's expression softened, understanding replacing the urgency. She stepped closer, putting a hand on Ruhi's shoulder. "Look, if you don't try now, you'll regret it. Let's go. You can say goodbye, get some closure. Please, Ruhi."

Ruhi's POV...

the city lights blurred past the car windows, I felt a whirlwind of emotions inside me. The relentless ticking of the clock seemed to magnify the urgency of the situation. Esha's supportive presence beside me was both a comfort and a reminder of the gravity of this moment.

With each passing mile, my heart wrestled with the weight of unspoken words and unexpressed feelings. I couldn't help but replay our moments together in my mind, each memory etched with the desire to find a resolution to this chapter of my life.

The airport materialized before us, a place that symbolized both endings and beginnings. Esha's proposal held the promise of a final chapter, a chance to confront Sounak and lay bare the emotions that had been building within me. Her willingness to accompany me on this spontaneous journey spoke volumes about the strength of our friendship.

As we parked the car and made our way towards the terminal, my pulse quickened. Time seemed to accelerate, as if fate were pressing us forward. With every step closer to the departure gate, I braced myself for what lay ahead. This meeting could be my last chance to find closure, to ask the questions that had tormented my mind, and to perhaps find a sense of peace amidst the turbulence of my emotions.
