The Longing, Forever - Continued

Over a month passed without him. They spoke every night. About food, weather, his meetings, love and more love.

Some days she used to recollect how life transformed from the bad to the best, and how all this would have never been possible, had they not been there for each other through hardships. There was a phase when they weren't on talking terms, living separately and even thinking of a divorce. Financially, mentally and emotionally broke. But they chose to give love another chance and it gradually healed all the wounds.

It was 24th of November. She was overwhelmed on his surprise return making it one of those moments to be cherished forever. That night Tamannah vowed that she'll always be for him, till death takes them apart.

Two days later, the bright sun brought with itself another meeting with the Board of Directors and his C.E.O. over lunch for him in Mumbai.

"Tamannah, I'l text u when I'm done with the meeting. Hoping for one big shot and then making babies."

Tamannah laughed at him and placed a lingering kiss on his lips to wish him all the luck.

It's been 6 years and 24 days now. She still is waiting for him to return. Every night she still reads that last text from him before crying and falling asleep.

"Baby, the meeting went good. I'll be home in another 3 hours. I have brought one world for you today; the other world will be tonight. And trust me; you'll be one sexy Mom. :)"
