The party was in full swing, with businessmen and women from all over the city mingling and networking. Meera was making her way through the crowd, feeling out of place and more than a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure across the room.
On the other hand, Ekaksh was talking to some of his business delegates when his site fell on Meera standing alone .Ekaksh couldn't help but feel a pang of surprise and nervousness at seeing her, yet he couldn't help but walk over to her."Meera?" he said, his voice loud enough to get her attention.
Meera turned around at the sound of her name, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Ekaksh. "Ekaksh? What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice a mix of surprise and confusion.
"the host is my father's close friend . So I had to attend this ," Ekaksh explained. "What about you?"Meera rolled her eyes. " Had to accompany my father," she said, glancing around at the crowd of businessmen around them. "I feel so out of place here. This is not my kind of event at all."
Ekaksh and Meera continued chatting, finding solace in each other' s company despite the boring party. As they were talking, Ekaksh's phone abruptly rang, breaking the conversation. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked the calleand saw the name of the orphanage flash across the screen."It's the orphanage," Ekaksh said, his voice filled with worry.Meera could see the concern etched on his face. "Answer it," she said, her voice gentle.
Ekaksh answered the phone, putting it on the speaker so Meera could hear as well."Hello?" he said anxiously.
A woman's voice came through the phone, but it was hard to make out the words over the noise of the party. Ekaksh put a finger to his other ear, trying to block out the background noise."I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" he said
The woman on the phone repeated herself, her voice clearer this time but filled with concern. "We have bad news. The babies have been admitted to the hospital. They're very unwell."
Ekaksh felt his heart drop at the words. He could see Meera's eyes widen in concern."What's wrong with them?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
The woman on the phone explained that the babies were crying and suddenly fainted. They were currently in the hospital for observation and treatment.
Ekaksh listened in silence, his mind racing. The thought of the babies being sick and in pain was unbearable.After the woman hung up, Ekaksh stood there, feeling dazed and helpless.
Meera could see the look of despair on Ekaksh's face. She could practically hear the thoughts racing through his head. Without hesitating, she placed a hand on his arm, trying to offer some comfort.
Meera looked at Ekaksh, her eyes filled with anguish. " Can we please go to the hospital," she said, her voice strained. "I need to see the babies."
Ekaksh with a stoic face said " okay , but what about your father " " I'll tell him later " Meera said with a sudden feeling to be close to the babies. " Okay , pack your luggage I'll be waiting for you outside your hotel " " okay " Meera replied to an okay nodding still in emotional daze.
