Chapter 1
At was 1 in the morning; the door bell of Riddhima's house rang. 😕
"Who's that?" she thought, she was still awake reading a novel.
She went out and opened the door only to find her friend or rather her best friend, Nupur there.
"God ... Nupur. . what is it?" she said, rather annoyed.
"Lemme come in first at least." She said. 😆
"Okay, come in."

At the City Hospital, Chicago –
"I need to go and see a patient, I'm sorry." Said Dr. Armaan.
"Now?" questioned his buddy sitting next to him.
"Yeah. . .that fellow is an insomniac and I guess, this is the right time to treat him." He said. 😉
Mayank burst out laughing and said, "Yeah fine, Mr. Psycho, a psychiatrist." 😆
Armaan went to see his patient while Mayank went back home.

At Ridhima's Apartment, New York –
"Yes, say. . . what's bothering you?" Ridhima said, giving Nupur a cup of coffee.
"You knew something's bothering me?" Nupur questioned. 😕
"Yes, I did. Now go on and lemme know the entire saga." She said. 😆
"Shut up Di." 😕
"Alright fine. . ." [?]
"Actually Di, dad wants me to go along with him to see his relatives in India." Nupur said, making a disgusted face.
"So?"
"Di. . . I hate India and I hate Indians."
"Shut up. . . you too are an Indian." Riddhima said reminding her.
"No, I'm not. I'm born and brought up here in the U.S, my dad and mom are Indians. . . I'm an American." 😕
"Okay fine, now listen to me!"
"Yeah, go on."
"You love your parents, right?"
"Yeah! I do."
"Then go along with em for their sake! You can do that for your parents, can't you?"asked Riddhima. [?]
"Yeah, I can. Thanks Di." Nupur said and hugged her.
"Anytime sweets!" [?]

Chicago –
Mayank sat in his Bentley and went back home. Mayank was indeed one spoiled brat who loved his luxuries and twas all. . . 😃
He had been living in USA ever since he was 5 but he never ever forgot his moral "Indian" values. And was a true Indian at heart. [?]

After a 2 hour counseling session, Armaan went back home. He owned a small Apartment in Chicago and his home town was Delhi, where his parents and younger sister, Anjali lived.
Armaan was completely exhausted. He went inside his room, opened his cupboard and took out a photo frame. It had the picture of his first and last love, indeed. The picture of the woman he loved ever since he was in class 11 back in India, Riddhima. 😳
"I wonder why and how does all my tiredness, the stress and the sorrow of being away from you vanishes when I look at this picture of yours. We had to part ways, we are not meant to be, I very well know that, still. . . why does this pretty smiling face take my breath away? I believe in destiny Riddhima and I know one day we WILL meet and seek answers to all these questions. I love you." He said kissed her photograph.
