The clock struck one, Vishwa's anxiety is shooting up. His sister and brother-in-law who were supposed to get back from their date a couple of hours ago, weren't back, yet!
As if sensing his discomfort, his three months old niece woke up from her sleep and let out a loud wail.
A part of him was carrying the weight of the anxiety, while the other carried the weight of his niece. He lifted her in his arms, with utmost care and tried to calm her mind, while his own mind was racing with all sorts of negative thoughts.
