"Are you alright?" I fired the first question when Innaya answered the call. The whole night I had kept trying in vain for her to answer. It was only in the afternoon of the second day that she had decided to put end to my misery.
Sound of her shallow breathing came through the microphone of the mobile. I closed my eyes as I let my head fall back on the chair in exhaustion and relief.
She was there.
She was finally there.
No matter if she was talking or not, the assurance her breathing sound brought was a great relief to my troubled heart.
We could always talk things through. I didn't want to sound interrogative on the phone, at least not at the moment I heard her voice.
"Yes," her raspy voice answered.
