Amyra's POV

Its already 11, and Sanju is still not home. I'm getting very worried. His phone is still switched off. I wanted to call the police, but the others told me to wait longer.

We are all still sitting in the back of the house, waiting. I'm scared and worried.

I hear a noise in the house, and Sanju appears at the back door.

"Sanju!" Nikki yells.

Before I could move, she's already on top of him, kissing him. My heart sinks, but I'm happy Sanju is safe. After Nikki lets go of him, I give his a big hug, tears pouring out of my eyes uncontrollably. I pull away to get a good look at him.

"Ekkadiki vellavura?" I ask, sniffling.

"Where did you?" I ask, sniffling.

"Ey! Enduku edusthunnave!" he laughs.

"Hey! Why you crying!" he laughs.

I smack his chest.

"Neeku emaindo ani nenu edustunte neeku navvostonda?" I ask.

"I'm crying thinking about what happened to you, and your laughing?" I ask

"Ammu." he says.

"Po ra!"

"Leave."

I shove him and run into the house, feeling millions of emotions right now.

Sanju's POV

I roll my eyes and shake my head as Ammu runs into the house.

"Sare ra mari. Memu velthamu." Kaushik says.

"Ok then man. We'll leave." Kaushik says.

I smile and nod to him. Nikki gives me a hug and leaves too. Lalitha just stares at me.

"Ente?" I ask her.

"What?" I ask her.

"Nuvvu kanipinchakapoyyesariki adi pichidanlaga podduna nunchi edusthu kurchundi." she says.

"Since she hasn't seen you she had been crying since the morning." she says.

I nod.

"Telusu."

"I know."

She just sighs, and looks like she wants to say something else.

"Sare, nenu velthanu." she says instead.

"Ok, I'll leave too." she says instead.

****

I walk into Ammu's room after Lalitha leaves. On my way back, I had brought two Five Star Chocolates. I hold them behind my back as I walk in.

Ammu is lying down on the bed. I walk over to her and kneel next to her. She turns the other way, away from me.

"Ey." I say softly.

"Hey." I say softly.

She doesn't answer. I let out a sigh.

"Five Star!" I exclaim, bringing my hand with the two chocolates out from behind my back.

She's usually happy when I do that, but she still doesn't move.

Man, she is very mad at me.

She would never turn down an opportunity for Five Star, her favorite chocolate. I hear a sniffle. I gently place the two chocolate bars on the night stand next to me. Ammu never gets this emotional about anything unless it bothered her way too much.

I stand up and walk over to the other side of the bed so I can look at her. I sit down gently on the bed. Luckily for me, she doesn't turn away this time.

"Sorry Ammu." I say.

She still doesn't respond.

"Ey, sorry cheppa kada."

"Hey, I said sorry right."

"Sorry chepthe?" she cries. "Neeku emanna ayindemo ani entha bhayapaddano thelusa?" she asks.

"So what if you said sorry?" she cries. "Do you have any idea how scared I was that something had happened to you?" she asks.

I let out a long sigh.

"Inka eppudu ala cheyyanu. Sarena?" I say. "Eppudu neethone untanu."

"I will never ever do that. Ok?" I say. "I will always be with you."

No response again.

"I promise." I say again.

Still nothing.

I look down at her to see her eyes closed. She fell asleep. I go to get up so I can go to my room, but something catches my wrist. I turn to see Ammu, clutching my hand tightly, almost as if she's afraid I might leave again. I sigh and decide to sleep next to her tonight.

I stare at her, sleeping peacefully, looking immensely beautiful.

Amyra's POV

I wake up to the sun shining in my face. Sanju is curled up next to me. I get up and finish my morning routine. I make two coffees again, and walk outside.

I see Sanju's camera on the porch table, and walk over to it, curious. I wondered how it got there, when I remembered that he had it with him when he came back last night. I pick up the camera and look through the last pictures taken, and I am blown away.

The pictures are amazing. I look at the date, and see that they were taken yesterday. There are pictures of flowers, butterflies, birds, and a few of the sunset. I quickly rush into the house and grab my laptop before running out again. I connect the camera to the laptop and download the pictures.

I draft a quick email and attach some of the pictures and send them to Kaushik.

"Ammu?" Sanju says behind me. I turn around, the camera still in my hand.

"Na camera!" he exclaims.

"My camera!" he exclaims.

Oh no!

I get up and push past him. I run up the stairs, but he grabs my arm, pulling me back. I crash into his chest.

His hand is on my waist, and we are only inches apart. I close my eyes as my heart beats a mile a minute. His breath fans over my face, and his hand tightens on my waist. My breathing speeds up. I open my eyes slightly to see Sanju right in front of me, staring at me. I look at his lips. My heartbeat is racing as he inches closer and closer, until...

My phone suddenly rings in my pocket, making both of us jolt. He moves away from me, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Naa camera theesukunna!" he teases, holding it up.

"I took my camera!" he teases, holding it up.

I stick my tongue out at him as I take my phone out of my pocket. I see that its Kaushik, and answer it.

"Ee photos evaru theesaru?" he asks.

"Who took these photos?" he asks.

"Sanju." I reply.

"No way!"
