Today she had to fly back to her home Gangtok, hearing the name of this town itself drives me crazy. She had to leave early morning around 5 o'clock in the morning as it was already announced with the locked down and there won't be movements around the town. That night we walked the whole night and I don't want to leave her company and stayed the whole night. She packed her stuffs in her bag and she suggested me to choose which bag should she carry. I didn't have an opinion actually so I just told which bag is more comfortable you carry that and before she had to leave everything was packed she still had time so I told her I will her up till that time she can sleep. I was waking up to make sure she over sleeps and get late for the flight.
After an hour and a half I woke her up and till the time she got ready I dosed off. When I woke up she had left a message already
"cab drivers number
samches lae
I reached airport ok..
You must be sleelping dont want to disturb you
call me when you wake up k"
send a picture wearing a stunning black kutra and a black mask peach written on it.
The mask was precautionary measure she had to wear while traveling. I woke up at 9 am and she had already arrived at airport and had texted me twice. I woke up and made a call she was looking so beautiful in that black kutra precisely designed. I couldn't resist myself to compliment her for her looks but me being me again "People will fall by your looks Corona is just a excuse."
She sign off telling to see me after an hour as she was getting boarded in the flight. After an hour she texted me telling she reached Kolkata from there she had to shift in the connecting flight to Bagdora. The time we spent on virtual meeting was so real that I could feel anything else other than the connection, affection, care love etc etc. Kolkata airport was quite busy so she opt to have KFC from the airport its because she had nothing and and traveling empty stomach and it was still a long journey to reach Gangtok that also rest of the journey she had to drive by car. So her mother was on her way to pick her at the Bagdora airport, but before her mother reached she arrived at the airport and had to wait for her to pick. I was there in touch with her all the time to company her through out this journey. We talked stupid things like I told her " You'll call me no when after reaching home ?? your family is there and you'll be spending time with them no!! For that she had a flying reply "why you even asking me that?
Why wouldnt I call you
Idiot
aama nguskaan
Remember I have to stay isolated."
Finally her mother reached to pick her after her long drive.
They had to drive back to Gangtok and on the way they had to go for tests and screenings as there were many people coming back to their home it was so rushed that it already got dark and they were still in the line for their turn. It was exhausting for her that day from morning till the evening she had to travel and it was obvious that she'll have a super sleep after the dinner. But in between this I got a shocking news that one of my Friend's father is no more. He was already suffering from stomach cancer, my friend he gave his full semester looking after his dad, taking complete care of his diet, medicines and treatments and he recovered and was fine few months back when I was there in Delhi.
Suddenly after hearing this I was numb and couldn't write him even to console.
As I was not fine that day so I took my calligraphy pen, sat down wanted to write something but nothing was popping up into my mind so asked to say something that I quote and write it down. So I ended up in writing a quote suggested by her on the call, "Change is the only Constant ." and this was right on spot with the situation. After that it was my turn to cook dinner, I cooked Ladakhi dish "Chhu Tagi", kind of pasta bit soupy. She liked it by seeing it through the phone itself.
