The cold stone floor and wall pierced her back as she got up from her restless sleep. She hadn't expected prison to be a paradise, in fact she had started to get used to the numbing pains in her body from cramming into the cell with many others and she would quietly eat the unhygienic food provided since she had no choice. Ishita Raman Bhalla sighed before got up in the pitch dark and walked over to the small earthen pot to get a drink of water as she knew where it was placed even though the cell was like a deep black cave. Slowly making her way back to her sleeping spot, she was careful not to step on her cellmates since she knew where they slept in the month she had been in the prison...
A whole month without her family. Without her Ruhi and her Adi...and the most painful separation in the entire month was having to live with her Raman.
He got off the cold hardwood floor of their bedroom as pain ran up his back. Getting up to get some water, he went to the night table and looked over at the plate of food Neelu had left in his room. The simple dal and rice had been emptied by him while every other delicacy had been left untouched since it seemed to have no taste unless he knew his Ishita would also be able to enjoy the same food at home. He noticed the painkiller placed on plate as well, but shook his head upon seeing it. No one could understand that the physical pain and exhaustion he felt was nothing compared to the pain he felt being away from her.
It had been a whole month he had spent without his madrasan, his lifeline, his love...his Ishita.
