The chat with Abhirami went for a bit longer than Taro expected and in the end, her father had to come to the school for her to actually leave his side. Never in his life had Taro actually felt exhausted doing something. However, in that particular moment, he was done; he was so exhausted that he felt as if his brain wasn't even functioning normally anymore.
"Mr. Sadanandan! How are you doing?" Shivani finally came out of the shadows and confronted Taro directly.
"Ah, it's you! Why haven't you gone home yet?" He asked. Normally, they head to the Holy Land a few hours early, so he was surprised that she stayed back.
"Well, we head there together, right? So, it's not a big deal." She shrugged.
"Wait, the other three are waiting too?" He asked.
"Obviously! They're waiting for you on the school grounds." She smiled as she replied.
"Hmm, let's head down then." Taro stood up from his seat and headed to the ground.
