Those 5 minutes - Page 128/135

A month passed. Zia and jai would talk everyday from zia's office phone. Every day they planned to meet, but never had the courage to do so. They respected their parents decision too much to go against them. But they were happy. At least they had a hope..

Few days later it was time for jai to leave for offshore. 3 months no calls with zia.

They decided to talk via mails. Jai could asses his mails only when there was a network. Meaning, once in 4-5 days. Zia would mail him everyday talking about every little thing happening each day. She missed him so much. Jai however was making a cautious effort to talk as little as possible with zia. He feared failure which would be followed by separation from her. And this fear was obvious. 3 months offshore meant no contact from the city. No network, no mails, no interviews, no job switch. Switching job was nearly impossible. He was badly stuck.

Love is blind. Yes it was. Neither did jai think about his capability to nourish what he loved nor did zia think about her readiness to achieve it whatsoever. Today, their love is alive on one condition.. and where there is a condition , love ends.

To be continued.....
