After a grueling flight of over 8 hours, we finally landed in Delhi.
Mr. Mehra, the executive manager of our Indian branch, was waiting to greet us. We exchanged warm greetings, and then exited the airport, boarding a convoy of sleek sedans that whisked us away to our destination.
As we glided through the city streets, my mind embarked on a journey of its own, revisiting the memories of my past departure, the incident that had left an indelible mark on my life.
Though I had returned twice before, this time, like every time, the familiar landscape evoked a sense of belonging, a feeling that defied logic, given the scarcity of my memories.
"You belong here," my inner voice whispered, a taunt that resonated deep within me.
"Yes, I do," I acknowledged, the conviction settling in like a warm embrace.
And as I surfaced from my reverie, our convoy pulled up to our destination, the synchronicity of the moment not lost on me.
We made our way to the luxurious seven-star hotel, our temporary home, where Mr. Mehra had already arranged for our keys.
He escorted us to our suites, handed us our keys, and bid us farewell, leaving us to settle in.
Jarek, Matteo, and I exchanged nods, agreeing to meet up after freshening up.
I entered my suite, dropped off my bag, and grabbed a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom to refresh myself, eager to wash off the fatigue of the long journey.
I stumbled out of my room, exhausted, and collapsed onto the bed, surrendering to the allure of a quick nap.
But, my peaceful slumber was rudely interrupted by the incessant buzzing of my phone. Groggily, I reached for the device, and my eyes widened in annoyance as I saw the caller ID flashing on the screen.
"A jerk!" I muttered to myself.
"Yes! Jerk!"
"Hey! Hey! I am not a jerk!."
"You are if you are waking me up from my sleep"
"Ahh! Okh! We need to talk that's why just.."
"Spit!"
"He is getting married!"
"Who?"
"Uff! Dumbo, do you even remember where are we..?"
