Akshara Nair

It's a beautiful morning in Kottayam, Akshara wakes up to the sound of chirping birds feeling upbeat to be back at the home town. It feels amazing to be back in Kottayam. This place is nature's abode, the whole of Kerala is, and being back home brings a rush of refreshing memories.

It's been nearly a week since she returned home from Gandhi Nagar. While work is important, it's necessary to sit back and relax like this. And her boss was kind enough to grant her leave.

"Go home, Akshara." He said over the phone, "you want to work? After an injury like that? You're always working hard but now's time to take a break.

Akshara is glad to have so many kind, understanding people in her life. And Arjun-- he wanted to fly to Kottayam with her, but he just couldn't. Boss wouldn't let him.

Arjun still sounds upset whenever they talk on the phone. And they talk everyday!

She smiles remembering how he's always whining and heads into the bathroom to freshen up.

It is no surprise that later on, when her phone rings, it's Arjun making a video call.

"Hey! How are you now?" Arjun's cheerful voice is always a delight to hear.

"I'm fine. And before you ask me. No... my injury doesn't hurt as hell. There's pain, but I'm strong. And I can't sit around my house any longer which is why I'm going to the temple."

He remains boggled for a few seconds as he processes the information before beaming at her. She smiles nodding, when he asks her not to strain herself too much.
