3 Chapter 2

The weather was clear. The sky was almost outcast but she was glad that it was cool for a change as compared to the damp and dry weather of Islamabad, as she gazed out the window.

Well, at least its not raining. It would hard to find a rickshaw in the rain. She mused to herself and sipped her lukewarm tea. Glancing at her wrist watch, she knew that her ten minute break was almost up. She sighed and adjusted the dupatta on her head. Finishing he tea, she laid one more glance outside at the clear grey sky. She was feeling exhausted especially from her night shift and she couldn’t wait to go home. She glanced at the man who was sitting across from her and with a weary expression, was examining a file in his hands. She was grateful for the silence between them because she was in no mood to talk and just wanted to savor some silence before she went back to the senior doctor who was responsible for her medical residency.
