After 5 minutes, zia's dad started strolling in the lobby. His restlessness was contagious. Zia's mom looked at her and muttered making a frown face 'Where is he??' Zia's legs started to go weaker as time was passing by. She wished she could call jai and ask him where he is, but her mobile was taken away by mom. She had no option but to constantly make an effort to avoid the stern glances put by both of them.

4:00 ...... 4:15 ........ 4:30 ....

'Sir. You can wait inside in the AC room..' the manager at the reception humbly bended and said to zia's dad. He waved at him to wait and walked to zia's mom and muttered something zia couldn't hear. Her mom removed zia's mobile from her purse and gave it to zia 'If hes coming in next 5 minutes, we are meeting else forget that he exists.. ' Her words made zia's heart stop beating for a good 3-5 seconds. Her legs lost its strength to hold her anymore. She took a seat besides the reception counter and with trembling hands dialled jai.

But destiny seemed to be cruel for zia.

Jai's phone was switched off. She dialled him again hoping it was a mistake. But again the same announcement. Zia's heart sinked. She became motionless. Mom was starring at her. She knew from zia's reaction something is not correct. 'What happened?' She asked her in a blunt tone. Zia looked up at her with blank eyes. Dad was standing at the entrance door with a serious grin on his face. The hotel staff present in the lobby passed weird expressions at each other.
