A fortnight of calm reflection passed and Aman started becoming fidgety again. He was waiting for her call. Why didn't she call? Was she not missing him? Is it too complicated for her to handle their new situation? What was going on in her mind? How was she feeling about this? He was once again anxious and was suddenly unsure of himself and of his hold on her. He needed assurance and for that, she needed to call.
She, on the other hand, was dangling between propriety and the eagerness of her heart. She was not sure of what was right and was trying to buy out some time to get a grip on herself. If she could have her way, she would never be away from him. But she realized it was nearly impossible.
Then there was the fear of her ever so imposing father-in-law finding out. He had already become suspicious and asked uncomfortable questions. How could she explain to them what Aman was to her? A friend? But that would be untruthful.
