"i wish you were here"

"I apologize, sweetie. I really tried to get in there, but I was unable to contact you due to an unexpected meeting. Do not worry, though; Sandeep will be there to pick you up shortly."
Adi replied.

Adi and I have been really good friends since 2018. We met at a conference hosted by the AMIE Association in Delhi. Since then, we have become both planning business partners and close friends. I am here today to attend a conference, but I was very uncomfortable in this unfamiliar location.

A man in black jeans and a white t-shirt ran up to me and said, "Hi, this is Sandeep; Aditya told me to pick you up."
"Hello..hmm," I said with a smile.

I followed him as he picked up my bag and headed for his car.

"Well, Sandeep, I am starving. I want to eat something, can we stop somewhere?"
"I have already brought some non-spicy takeout for you because you do not like spicy food," he said with a smile. "It is Bangalore, and most of the stalls across the street serve spicy food."
A friendly...
