She was away the from office for three days. She had reached home late the previous night and had only slept for five hours. She reached the office with sleep lingering in her eyes. Unfortunately, the day started with a meeting. It proceeded with another and finally ended with yet another meeting. As she walked into the meeting room, her eyes scanned the room. Disappointment crept into her sleepy eyes. She scanned the faces again. She did not see him. She felt shattered. The thought of seeing his face had inspired her to get out of the bed that morning. But he was not there.
She sat down and asked her neighbour about him. "He is unwell and has not been in office for the past two days" was the response. She turned her face as she said "oh! Is it?" She placed her head on the table and let the tears roll down her cheeks.
