Payal opened the door of her office and say Hi to the watchman, it was her habit to greet everyone on daily basis.
Usually, Payal's parents never disturb her during her office hours but that day her mother called her.
When she saw her name on the phone, she got panicked and her pen and files (she was working for the last few days) fell on the floor.
She picked up the call, her mother used to call her Payal whenever she is in good mood but on that day, she said hello and started telling her about her father's accident.
She told her that a car hit him so badly and he is hospitalized. He wants to meet you, I don't want to put you in trouble beta but this is urgent. Can you please come?
She said why not Maa, how you can think that I will not come for Bubba. ( She called her dad, Bubba)
I will be there soon.
Don't worry.
On the very next moment, She calls Jay and started crying,
Jay was so confused, Payal tell me what happened,
Did you fight with someone,
Did you get the project?
Tell me.....
I am worried, dude.

Jay I was telling you na yesterday,
I am not getting good vibes,
I am not well.
That was the reason ( she told him about her father's accident).
Oh my God,
He was shocked too.

How did it happen?
What do you want?
I am coming to pick you up and we are leaving for Delhi Okay?
No, no jay, you already missed so many things in your office because of me.
I am going home to pack my luggage, I just want you to leave me at the station.
Are you sure, love?
Yes.
Okay, I will be there on time and I am bringing your food with me. I know you didn't eat anything from yesterday.
Payal was not in her senses, her father's face was running in her mind.
She did not listen to what jay has said at the end.

( she is packing her things and stuck in so many thoughts) her hand was shaking in confusion . Payal was so close to her Bubba, She cares about him a lot. It was natural ( No one can see his/her loved ones in pain).

Anyhow, she calls Uber and left for the station.
( During that time) Jay calls her thrice and asks about her location.
When she sees him at the station, her eyes filled with tears, she lost control.
Well, Jay understands her position. ( He knows she is going through such a crucial time)
Again he said, I can come with you, please don't stop me.
No no jay ( I am fine)
He gives her the food parcel and say her to stay strong for the sake of her family.
She nodded her head. ( and doesn't utter a single word in response)
They both waved the hand and Say bye.

(Train is about to leave).
On the other hand, a very special event is coming into their lives.
They both celebrate each event with love and enjoyment.
Payal's birthday was coming in November.
It was the last week of October.
Jay is too good with surprises, he always goes beyond her expectation.

( this time everything turned out to be different for them because of her father's accident )
Anyhow Jay stayed in touch throughout that time.
Her father was better than before, and she was planning to come back to Mumbai.

Here jay was dealing with official things, home bills, and her birthday planning altogether.

( Payal was a girl who loved collecting coins, traveling to new places, making memories, Jay always planned his surprises regarding these things kept in mind, This time he was collecting Wall arts for her favorite places and thinking of pasting it on the wall, He ordered her favorite perfume and some accessories too. On the other hand, he was thinking of booking a resort that she enlisted for her next trip, Jay was dealing with things nowadays).

She calls jay at 11'O clock and tells him that I will be there the day after tomorrow.
He asks her about her father. ( she told him that he is recovered and feeling fine )
That's great news I am hearing after a week Payaliya.
I and this home is waiting for our partner.
Come soon,
I am missing you so much.
Missed you too Jay
( See you soon my man).

( Let's see what happens next ......)
