Chapter 6- Friends or Family!

Sikha sat behind the steering wheel and started playing music in the car. Deepali sat in the rear seat and relaxed resting her head on the car seat as the child slept next to his mom. A peppy number played and Sikha sang along nodding her head as she drove her way through the traffic….

Chapter 5- Silent Ego Clashes

The feeling of heaviness, the clumsiness within, and the melancholy lashes made Deepali feel claustrophobic. She wanted to break out. Break out free, like forever!

And finally, they met!

“Can you please pass me a glass of water?” Atul said with a hint of hesitation in his voice. “Kruti …please !” Atul repeated. “Ohh yeah… sure… sorry I don’t know when I had fallen asleep.” Kruti woke up from her slumber and passed on the glass of water to Atul. She looked at the…
