It was like a blur until dad left after having breakfast with us in the morning. I became a little emotional when he left and Dev tried to cheer me up by mentioning about today's party but I was not in the mood for that. I wanted to be somewhere where it will be peaceful to get my emotions and thoughts in check. 

 So I decided to go to the temple on the way to the office. With that in mind, I got ready by wearing a cream colour churidar and left the house informing Dev. I took a cab to the nearby temple and got out of it by paying the amount and went inside. 

It was lord Krishna's temple, so there are not many of them to which I released a sigh in relief. I wanted to clear my mind and if it was rush then i won't be able to feel peaceful. This place is peaceful with so much greenery around it placing the temple in the middle. Some families were sitting at the corner and chit-chatting with some of them sat alone and enjoying nature. 

I went in front of the door for darshan and gave the pandit coconut cover while i prayed to god. I don't exactly know what i want to pray so i just wished that everyone should be good and happy. My mom used to say that we don't need to ask God about what we want since he will always look after us, so the only thing we need to do is pray to God about others who are in need of prayers. She always used to explain that some people might need prayers desperately when everything goes wrong or everything turns against them. So then maybe someday God will listen to us and help the one who needs these prayers so that they can be happy again. So from that day onwards, I used to pray for others itself. It was never about me and I like it that way. 

After the darshan, i came outside and took a seat nearby steps by placing the bag beside me and started looking outside. It was so peaceful that i want to stay here itself. There is something in the atmosphere of temples that makes us feel peaceful and pleasant. It was so calming and refreshing that all my thoughts went away and I started enjoying nature with a smile on my face. 

I always used to come to the temple whenever i feel lonely, upset or miss my mother. And today is one of those days and I miss my mother a lot. I want to share everything about my life with her but I can't, so i came to the temple since i believe that she is with the god looking after me from heaven.

After some time I looked at my watch to see that it was 8.40AM already and i need to reach office on time otherwise i will be late. So I immediately got up and took a cab to the office once again. 

Once I reached our floor, i texted Dev informing him that i have reached the office and greeted Divya on the way to my cabin. I gave a glance in the direction of Abhi's cabin to see that it was empty and I sighed a little in defeat and went inside my cabin. 

All-day I was in my cabin working for the project since I was lacking in it due to my personal issues these days. And I don't like being lacking in the work. It was only in the lunchtime that I went outside of my cabin to have lunch with our gang where i got to know that today we can leave by 5.00 PM so that we can be able to attend the party on time. It will start at 7.00 PM in the evening and we all decided to get ready at Charitha's house since it is the nearest one to the office. 

Abhilash was on leave today due to some personal emergency and I couldn't help but get worried about him. I hope that he was ok and it was just some personal work. He messaged me in the morning that he won't be able to come to the office today and he will be meeting me at the party in the evening. At Least i am happy that i am going to see him in the evening. I miss him a lot that it scares me sometimes about the way it was running so fast. It was just a month since I met him but here we are already thinking about the relationship between us. I am scared but i know that it will always be him.
