The Eternity of Love

Chapter 50

Four days later

Arhan's apartment, the sunlight crept through the window, casting its warm glow inside the room. Moving a little ahead we spot Arhan, sleeping on the chair. His head was resting on the back, eyes closed and hands falling either side of him. In front him, his laptop was open and papers were scattered all over the table. He slept while working, last night.

His sleep got disturbed due to the sunlight falling on his face. He scrunched his forehead and opened his eyes groaning. He blinked his eyes few times to clear his vision and stood up from his chair, stretched himself to relax his muscles and dragged his gaze towards the clock which was showing 10:05.

He lost his sleep in fell swoop and immediately started searching for his phone. He was searching his phone when suddenly he heard a ting sound. He looked in that direction and his eyes landed on his phone, lying on the bed. A big smile appeared on his lips as he expected a text from Anaya.

He jumped on the bed and grabbed his phone. He unlocked the phone but his smile faded when he found the text from zomato instead of Anaya.

Hey, I know you are busy but don't skip your breakfast. Order it now, from zomato.

Reading the text Arhan immediately uninstalled the app and threw his phone aside. He laid on his back while thinking, "She must have reached by now, then why didn't she text back? What if something happened to her?". His heart skipped a beat, as this thought crossed his mind.

He immediately sat up on the bed and shook his head saying, "No no no, Arhan, think positive. Nothing will happen to her". He grabbed his phone again and saw her last message which was from two days ago, when she was going to the airport. After that he didn't receive any messages from her, she didn't even see the messages sent by him.

"Probably she's busy", saying this to himself, he stood up and went towards the bathroom. He came after taking a bath, while wiping his wet hairs with towel. He again checked his phone but there was still no response from Anaya. He angrily threw his phone on the bed and went from there.

He came down to the hall, where he found Ronit watching the news with shocked expressions. He even forgot to blink his eyes and was sitting like a statue. Hearing his footsteps, Ronit's trance broke and he immediately switched off the TV, making Arhan frown at his sudden reaction.

"What happened?? Why did you switched off the TV?", he asked, coming towards Ronit.

Ronit blinked his eyes rapidly, thinking for an excuse. "Amm..n..nothing, ju..just like that. These news channels keep on repeating the same news, so I got bore", he replied, trying his best to make it sound like a truth but failed. Arhan got from his expressions that he was lying. But the question was, why?

Looking at his frowned expressions, Ronit got that he didn't believe his words. He immediately thought something to divert his mind, "Come let's have breakfast, it getting cold". Saying this he moved towards the dining table, thinking Arhan must be following him but suddenly he heard the voice of the reporter.

He immediately turned back and found Arhan standing in front of TV holding the remote in his hand, watching the news. He shut his eyes and cursed himself for leaving the remote there.

London-bound Indian Airlines flight 2310 crashed midway.

According to reports, the engine caught fire midway, causing the plane to crash.

The plane was carrying 350 passengers and 14 crew members.

The crash was so terrible that all the passengers including the crew members and pilots lost their lives.
