Ashwin sighed as he packed his suitcase, his mind elsewhere. He had to leave London for a month to oversee the expansion of his restaurant chain, but the thought of being away from Sivaangi for that long was unbearable. He had grown accustomed to seeing her every day, and the thought of not being able to do so was suffocating him.

As he folded his clothes and placed them in his suitcase, his eyes wandered to the photo of Sivaangi on his nightstand. He couldn't help but smile as he thought about her bright smile and sparkling eyes. He had fallen deeply in love with her, and the thought of being apart from her for a month was tearing him apart.

Ashwin's phone buzzed, breaking the silence in his room. He picked it up, hoping it for Sivaangi,

Eventhough he know she will never do that, as guessed right it was just a text from his colleague confirming his flight details. He sighed and continued packing, his heart heavy with the thought of leaving Sivaangi behind.

As he zipped up his suitcase, Ashwin realized he had to find a way to make this work. He couldn't be away from Sivaangi for a month without going mad.

As Ashwin finished packing, his sister Aisha walked into his room, a concerned look on her face. "Hey, bro, are you okay? You seem a bit down."

Ashwin sighed, running his hands through his hair. "I'm just going to miss Sivaangi, Aisha. A month is a long time to be away from her."

Aisha nodded sympathetically. "I know, but you'll be back before you know it. And in the meantime, I'll make sure she's taken care of."

Ashwin's eyes lit up with gratitude. "Thanks, Aisha. That means a lot to me. Can you keep an eye on her for me? Make sure she's doing okay?"

Aisha smiled. "Of course, I will. I'll make sure she's happy and healthy. And I'll update you every day, so you don't feel too far away."

Ashwin's face relaxed, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Aisha. You're a the best sister. Just make sure she doesn't forget about me, okay?"

Aisha laughed. "I'll make sure she is okay. Dont worry. But don't ont forget to bring me chocolates.

Ashwin nodded with a laugh.

Aisha nodded, her eyes filled with encouragement. "Good. Now come on, let's get you to the airport. You don't want to miss your flight."

As they walked out of the room, Ashwin felt a sense of gratitude towards his sister. He knew he could count on her to take care of Sivaangi, and that thought gave him the strength to leave London, knowing that his heart would stay behind, with the woman he loved.

While driving in car to airport , his thoughts drifted back to his last conversation with Sivaangi, and he felt a pang of sadness and regret.

He remembered how she had been distant and cold towards him, and how he had promised to give her space.

"Hereafter, you won't see me, sweetheart," he whispered to himself, a hint of pain in his voice. "I think this distance will be good for us. I won't disturb you anymore."

He felt a lump form in his throat as he realized that he might be leaving London without resolving the issues between them. But he pushed aside his emotions and focused on the task ahead, knowing that he had to prioritize his work and his family's business.

With a heavy heart, Ashwin made his way to the airport, the thought of Sivaangi lingering in his mind like a shadow. He knew that the next month would be long and challenging, but he hoped that the distance would give them both the space they needed to reflect on their feelings and come back stronger.
