This post is part my story for UBC. Continued from UBC Day 7 - Accident - Part 6
Next ten days went by in trying to cope up with the
sudden tragedy. They bought her dad home after five days and hired a nurse to
take care. Priya managed to speak to Nitin and he promised to come down at the
end of her trip.
Priya had extended her holidays by another ten days. One
evening her mother came down to her room to talk to her. She was of opinion
that Priya shouldn’t go back. Priya understood that it was coming from a lot of
pain nd she just didn’t want any distance. After consoling her, Priya continued
with her schedule.
Finally the days of blues were over. Nitin was
supposed to arrive. Priya and Deepti decided to meet up for a drink and then go
to the airport to pick up.
Thus, they met earlier than usual. Taking a sip of her
wine, Priya sighed. Last few days had taken a toll. She couldn't believe it was
just two weeks ago, when two girls sat and discussed their lives. Recalling her
conversation from the last time, Priya nudged Deepti out of her thoughts.
“What happened to the proposal?” Priya asked.
Coming out of her thoughts, she took a deep breath. “I
have said yes”
“Priya jumped out of her seat. “Are you serious? Wow.
This is great news.” Sobering down at visibly lack of excitement on Deepti’s
part, she continued in a smaller voice, “But are you happy?”
“I don’t know Priya. I think you were right. I am just
stuck. I don’t know him yet, but I guess it will be okay.” Deepti replied.
“Don’t worry.” Priya consoled, sounding surer than she
felt.
After a few minutes of silence that had spread between
them, Deepti slowly spoke “I’ll miss you. I wish you stayed back. You know your
parents get so lonely in absence of both of you. Your brother at his ship, he
doesn’t even know about all that happened here.” Priya didn’t reply. She knew
that Deepti’s words had some reality. She thought of her mother’s words.
Concluding their evening at the pub, the girls left
for the airport to pick up Nitin.

What will be next? Will Priya ever fully cope up? Read more on part 8.
Glad to read that the father was well enough to come home from the hospital. She seems so uncertain about saying yes. I wish she would have given it more thought before saying yes. Makes me wonder what will come next and if it was the right decision. Can't wait to read more! ♥
