As soon as the flight landed, Elina walked back to the original seat. She already had enough of awkward conversation with Dr Nelson, and she did not possess the heart to turn back and say goodbye, because all that she could see in the eyes of that man was pain.
Without saying a word she started walking ahead, but then she heard his voice,
"Elina!"
"Yes!" She said and immediately turn back.
"May I have a small request?"
"Yes! Sure, anything!"
"Can you please not talk to Akira about this... I mean it's actually my problem and I do not want to create any unnecessary complications in her life."
"I get it doctor Nelson. Your secret stays with me!" And saying that she smiled softly and then turned ahead.
Even though he was not sure if she would keep her word, he did not want to pester her. Anyway he was altogether in a different continent and somehow the distance made him comfortable.
