Payal' POV

As I looked, Viren vanished among the  people rushing towards the terminals. I was so lost that I noticed the box in my hand almost 15mins after he left. I safely placed it in my bag and navigated through the people to the place we parked the car. Once back, all my thoughts came out in the form of a huge sigh. I realized how much I got used to him being around. Suddenly I felt empty and hollow. I was clueless what I should do or where I should go. It felt strange how his absence was affecting me already. I closed my eyes and breathed to let the whole thing sink in. His face  flashed as soon as I closed my eyes. I smiled to myself as I realized I was after all in love with 'my husband'.

I fished my bag to lay my hands on the small beautifully decorated box that Viren gifted me moments before he left. Holding the box in my hand gave me a strange feeling of belongingness to Him. With a wide smile I quickly opened the box to find a neatly folded hand written note. Amazed at finding what I hadn't expected, I slowly opened it.

"I hope you are missing me already! Coz I surely would start missin you by the time you read this note". I smiled at his words." I know it isn't fair that I am going far away leaving you behind, just when we have started our beautiful journey.
Payal, I am extremely happy that we took the decision to get married. With so much happening and through so many ups and downs we have come to a right conclusion. (I hope you think the same!) . I can't tell you in words how bad I feel for going away. But, since we are both inclimed towards our work and know its importance I am sure you will understand my position.

I have a planned a treasure hunt for you to keep your mind off my absence. This is a little gift from me for being a bad husband." Just the word 'husband' made me blush " I hope you enjoy it. Your first clue is at the back of this paper"

I swiftly turned it to find the following clue.
