Excerpt from 'The Celestial Souls of Khambetka'
Too much togetherness was getting on my nerves! Thank God, we
didn’t meet very frequently or else our friendship would have flown out of the
nearest window, long ago! What was that saying about “Distance makes the heart
grow fonder?” Instantly I remembered my husband who was a correspondent with a
national daily and often out on foreign assignments.
We loved sharing news on the go. He would call
me up any time when his schedule permitted and keep me informed, often slipping
in naughty remarks and comments during our conversation. I would do so too,
enjoying our long-distance flirtation. When we would meet at home, we would celebrate like there was no tomorrow….
Life had so far been very good. Touch wood.
Being very
busy and not wanting any interruption in our demanding careers, we had decided
on being child-free. That gave us ample time to set off on jaunts across the
globe, whenever we decided to be together. Now I was missing him and his lively
company.
“Supriya, why are you smiling? Oh, thinking about Aadesh?” Sumati
ribbed. The others joined
in the raucous laughter that followed.
