Rahul's P.O.V......

I was not sure if Meera truly meant what she sent about that love symbol. I needed to find out so next day at office I purposely asked her showing it.

Bingo...I knew you will not agree Meera...I will make you prove that you love me

I was determined to make her accept that she loves me. My work supported my interest to plan spending some alone time with her out of country. Mister Wilson, the Chairman of Wilson and Wilson Group sent me a mail requesting me to visit him, in continuation with our previous evening's discussion and I have requested him to fix a date. I was busy with my work, preparing a draft for the meeting. I cannot be clumsy in this project...it has to be perfect.

I did not know how time passed. Dad and my Uncle too were preparing to go to London for my cousin's wedding in the first week of next month. I have booked my tickets too to reach London as soon as I finish my meeting with Mister Wilson and also spending some time with Meera, find out what she truly thinks of me.

It was already 23rd and Meera was leaving.

Gosh Meera..i'm already missing you.

The way she was giving me all the information about my next week's meetings and all made me so sad. Please don't go Meera. Cancel your trip. I kept thinking.

'Sir can I go home early today evening?' She asked me.

'What's the reason?' Even though I knew, I asked her so to continue talking with her some more time while I was pretending to be busy with the project details. I'm an asshole, why do I have so much ego? Why can't I directly talk to her, tell her that I love her.

'Sir I am leaving for Surat with Sandy Didi today evening' she told me in a sweet voice.

'Hmm....okay you can go but before that mail me all the details of my next week's appointments' I said. Time to let go off my subconscious feelings, just concentrate on my profession or else I'd get crazy without seeing my love for so many days...she too needs some break..

I convinced my subconscious mind that was already weeping. By the time I came back from my lunch break after visiting the construction site where I went to check on the Manager who was creating problems with those workers. I had to resolve the matter calming down those workers who were very angry on that Manager since he was not paying them their wages on time. I gave that Manager a serious warning that if I get any complaint again from those workers then he will be fired. It was around four in the evening when I reached office.
Oh gosh Meera I miss you so very much...

Meera's P.O.V....

I was shocked when Sir showed me that love symbol I sent to him last night. I could not recollect sending it at all. When I woke up in the morning I saw my phone lying on the bed next to my pillow, I did not even check it for messages till I took it just before going to office since I have no friends who would send me so many massages...  When I just switched on the screen, there were no notifications so left it then and there.

My heart was beating fast when sir asked me about that message. I told him the truth and thank god he did not react any further. But then I was too excited since I was going to attend the wedding of my good friend cum sister and I had to windup everything at office. I was very happy when sir agreed for my leaving office early and I left office by three in the evening.

'Meera be ready by four, I'll pick you up on the way to the Airport' Sandy Didi called me as I reached home.

'Yes Didi I will be ready' I replied and hung up. I already packed all my luggage the previous night itself.

Pam Aunty being at home came to my rescue in the last minute preparations.

'I am so happy for you Meera. Have a nice time and do have fun at the wedding' said Aunty hugging me when I was just about to leave, 'Aunty I forgot to tell you that I am coming back on 31st and the same evening I will be leaving for South Africa with Rahul sir to attend a meeting' I informed Aunty about my itinerary.

'Is it?' said Aunty.

'Okay Aunty see you' I said and got down the stairs holding my luggage. Sandy Didi was already seated in the taxi. Placing my luggage in the trunk I occupied the seat next to Didi after waving bye to Aunty.

'I just can't believe all this is happening Meera, just pinch me once' said Didi with a huge smile.

'No Didi I can't pinch you but can assure you that all this is real' I said while the driver was continuously hoking due to the heavy traffic at a few intersections. We reached the Airport by five and our flight was scheduled at six. Since I travelled with Rahul Sir's sister Tanya earlier, I felt a bit familiar with the environment and appeared too excited, she kept talking about her hometown all through our journey and within one hour we landed at Surat Airport.

'It's just half an hour journey from here Meera, we'll go by taxi' said Didi as we were picking up our luggage.

It was dark by the time we reached Didi's home.
'Hello Didi welcome' said a young man looking a bit younger than Didi.

'Meera this is my cousin Ashok....and Ashok she's....' Didi was not allowed to talk further, Ashok cut in saying 'I know she's Meera...right?' He said 'hi Meera welcome' he said with a huge smile and grabbed the luggage from my hand.

'You already changed your team Ashok? ' said Didi when she saw him grabbing my luggage.

'Yeah you're not the guest but she is!' He said.

Didi's house was pretty big. As we entered the house I was received by many of Didi's other family members, her parents, other cousins, Uncles and Aunts.

'You are so beautiful Meera' complimented Didi's mother and even her cousins too. All I could say was 'thank you' with a smile.

'Meera, come with me, there is the most important relative I want you to meet !' said Didi grabbing my arm 'let her breath everyone, she will be here for few days with me' Didi said making space for us to walk from there.

I followed her while I was feeling very happy with the attention I got from all of them. We walked towards a room and Didi pushed open those huge doors.
'Come in Meera' she said waving her hand. I entered into this huge bedroom that was dimly lit. Didi switched on the lights and room turned bright revealing who was in there.  There was a huge cot in the center of that room and we walked there.

'Baah (grandmother) wake up.  See who's here to meet you' she said touching the arm of an old lady who's skin was totally wrinkled.

'Hmm...' I heard the old lady say.

'Meera she's actually my great grandmother and she is around 110 years old and she's blind' I was surprised to hear what Didi said. I never met anyone so old.

'Baah...wake up' Didi again touched her arm 'she sleeps early and wakes up early too. She's a firm believer that early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise'

Didi's great grandmother was right. Her age proved that she was right.

'Hmm...who is it?' I heard her say.

'Baah...it's me Sandy'

'Oh Sandy you came. I am so happy' she said touching Didi's cheeks while she was still lying on the bed.

'Baah meet my new young friend Meera' said Didi pulling me closer to the bed.

The old lady touched my cheeks too and said 'It's Amaira, right?'

'No Baah she's Meera' Didi corrected.

'You are wrong, I may be blind but I am still in my senses...she's Amaira. I am so happy to finally meet you Amaira!'
