Looking at Akira, he asked,
"Are we cool then?"
She nodded her head with a smile of relief on her face. Even though she knew that Dr. Oshana's accusations on Dr. Nelson were preposterous, but she just wanted to confirm for the peace of her mind.
Then, taking a deep breath, Dr. Nelson said.
"Akira, I am way past the age at which the heart gets excited about silly things. And to be honest, I have known only one woman in my life and I will worship her till death."
Saying that he didn't turn to look at her and neither did she, as she was feeling all silly for even having such a thought in her head. There was silence, that spread in the cab, only to be unmuted by the sound of Akira's mobile phone's vibration.
"Hello, Vikram."
"Hello, Akira. How have you been doing?"
"Well, I was just busy with the new project. What about you?"
"I just came back to town today morning."
"How is uncle now? Recovering well?"
