Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

25.Finally...

Thank God, that the weather had not impacted the vessels engines/harmed its light/tech/electric functioning.

Back in India, given that Arnav had cancelled last minute work to head here – Aman had managed to relay the message to everyone associated(work wise) that he'd had to step out for a family emergency given that a close one – was caught up in a tricky weather situation – around the waters of Bali. Aman knew, he had to be clear about the location Arnav was headed to anyway, for he'd be spotted during, his travel...etc etc...

And as he'd expected, that was a bit that had happened. As Arnav was spotted travelling to Bali, a lot of speculations on the internet were on about – as to why he was spotted heading there? and that too – all alone – all of a sudden?

Bali, is a popular tourist destination. Especially, the area of Kuta, where Amaar and Arnav had booked to stay in – was in the heart of the city center, popular with tourists. A lot of Indians, who were around holiday here – had also spotted Arnav around the hotel with Amaar which had sent the buzz of wonder/curiosity on social media going. Not that – Arnav cared about any of that in the moment. All he cared, about, was the bit that Khushi just reach back shore – safely – to him – as soon as possible.

Arnav pauses in his to and fro now scowling to himself as he looks out the window to the room and says to Amaar – " Amaar...you say that weather? don't you? its freaking technically 2pm in the afternoon...but its been raining cats and dogs for so long now...the suns not come out today...just like it didn't yesterday...and this hard rain won't just stop pettling down...like as if...the news of them making their way through the fresh storm wasn't killing enough...now we have to deal with the thought, that even whilst heading closer to shore...they are going to be surrounded by bad weather conditions..the waters around the harbour are surely rougher than usual...as well...now...godammit...what's with the bloody weather...these days? Why can't it freaking clear up when I most want it too....,"and he adds eyeing the gloomy weather+ clouds – "just clear up dammit ..until they back to shore...and post that...storm out all you want..."

Amaar stops pausing in his to-and fro – at that and comes to stand next to Arnav, to look out the glass window. Indeed, the weather conditions in and around – weren't like ideal at all. Infact, they were far from ideal. Bali was technically an island nation in the Indian Ocean, but because this Indonesian island was closer to the waters of pacific ocean – sometimes – sudden storms like these – just happened.Apparently, for the locals, it wasn't a big deal for they were used to seeing such weather conditions around – but in their hearts only Amaar and Arnav knew, how big a deal it was for them this time around. Only, Amaar gods knew, how he was able to contain his worry in the moment - though.Thank God, for Arnav around him in the moment. He'd helped him keep his turmoil in check – just like he had with him vice versa – when the other – was nearing towards shades of worry and paranoa. He says to Arnav now, scowling hard himself – " just let me see Manizeh, I am going to ask her to promise me...that she better not even think off freaking going offshore...on any project ...for the next two full months...for I am surely going to need that much time to get over my paranoia in my head....because of this situation...."

Arnav scowls – " just two months? I'm going to need a bloody full year to come around this in my head...Amaar..."

Amaar nods – " well, I know what you mean buddy, but because I'v been used to coping up with aspect of Manizeh's job for longer than you are used to coping up around, Khushi's...its obvious you'd take longer to come around it in your head..."

Just then they hear + spot a loud thunder in the skies as the rain worsens and Arnav groans – "dammit...this just continues to get more crazier...Amaar...no wonder tele-signal will be a problem..even if they headed closer to shore...we have no update on this though..right? as to when..they will actually dock back....the last update received just said – the project heads focus is to just get back to shore safely, what he'd decide to do on accord of speed of sailing through it will be his call...already..there is an eight hour delay...from their scheduled...arrival time..."
