It's been 2 years since Awnirudh had seen his Vandita. The foreign postal service in India was still developing and it took a really long time for a letter to reach either sides.
The most difficult part was the anticipation and wait... But this was exactly what Anirudh had chosen, hadn't he? This was exactly what his uncle had warned him about!
In the meantime, he had received two telegrams from Lenny. In one, she wrote how Vandita has topped her class and the second one seeking permission for her to be involved in social work. Awnirudh had replied to both. But what he longed for was a letter from Vandita.
