Bitting a pen and being full engrossed sketching a design she didn't notice how many hours passed. Her thoughts were broken by a phone ring.

She stops chewing the pen and starts searching for phone was nowhere to be found. She hit her head not remembering where she kept the phone.

At last when the phone stops ringing she found the phone under pile of papers along with her sketch book. She slapped her head and picks the phone.

Her eyes widen as she looks at caller id and felt her heart beating so fast. She took a deep breath and dialled his number. She waited for him to answer the phone but there was no answer. She sighs keeping the phone and going back to sketching.

Her phone rang again making her startled. This time she stopped panicking and picked the phone and looking at caller id she smiles and answered the phone only to his voice making her heart pound.

Manik : hello Nandini. I'm sorry for not answering your phone earlier, I was in meeting. I just saw your miscalled few minutes ago. I called you back but you didn't answer. Are you alright? Should I come there? Is something to be worried about? You even dropped a message wanting to speak to me urgently? Why are you not saying something? Say something.

Nandini was very touched and dumfounded by his concerns. She didn't thought her messages and calls will get him worried this much. She felt guilt.

Nandini : hello Manik. How will I speak if you don't stop talking? You didn't even give me a chance to speak. I'm sorry if my messages made you worried. I had no intention to make you worry. I wanted to you urgently about the land that uncle mentioned it.

Manik sighs on the other side when he heard her expansions and released a breath that he was holding the moment he had seen her messages and calls. He arrived to his cabin and quickly dials her number pacing himself around the cabin.

His worried increased when she didn't answer his call first time and many negatives thoughts came crossed his mind and chuckled it away he dials again praying there shouldn't be any concerning.

His thoughts were broken when he heard Nandini.

Nandini : Manik, are you okay? Why aren't you replying to me? Are you busy? Shall I call you later?

Manik sighs and slapping his head pulls the chair and sitting down looks at front with a soft smile.

Manik : no! Im not busy. We can talk. Yes I do remember about dad mentioned about the land few miles away from my office. When do you want to see? I have meeting lined up this evening and I can't really cancel it last minute. What do you suggest?

Nandini : you don't have to cancel your meeting Manik. I wanted to talk about the location. Is it good? When are you available to see? I don't mind any dates or timing is fine by me. What do you say?
