"Unnie!"
Seeing Adelina coming from afar, Nisha got up and ran towards her without hesitation. Nisha's large eyes were wet with tears and glistened like shiny marbles.
Adelina crouched down to Nisha's level as her eyes narrowed apologetically.
"Have you been well?"
Now that she was tightly buried in Adelina's embrace, Nisha burst into tears. Adelina gently stroked Nisha's small back in apology. Possibly due to her heightened emotions, Nisha would not calm down despite Adelina's soothing.
"I thought I'd never see you again."
"Never see me…? But I'm here because I wanted to see you."
"But I couldn't send you letters or go see you. If I hadn't gotten hurt, you wouldn't have had to go so far away."
Although Nisha's injury had been the push, Adelina had definitely not gotten married because of it. Adelina consoled her sulking sister and shook her head.
