Entrenous : SKY : Part 5

Twenty five years passed since Krishna had left them. Deeksha was now Deepthi's life and soul. Deeksha had completed mechanical engineering to take after her parents and she was working with Ford. And Pradhyum their neighbour. He was two years older than Deeksha and working at PWC. His parents left for the US five years back and he refused to move with them. How familiar thought Deepthi. She noticed those little winks, the texts between them in front of her and those wordless conversations. Their love for each other simply radiated yet Deeksha had not disclosed this to her mom. Time was running she thought. She wanted to settle things between Deeksha and Pradhyum. The sharp pains in her chest had started a year back. She had two unfinished tasks. Deeksha and....
She had fixed an appointment with Frontier for later that evening. She would go alone and drive. She needed to feel the engine. She dressed up and left for the hospital and went straight to the opthalmology department. She went to the records division and stood in front of the receptionist. "My name is Deepthi Krishnan. My husband's eye had been transplanted twenty five years ago. Krishnan. His ID is 20152428... Can you give me the address of the recepient please". Technology had grown so much in twenty five years. Information was only a click away. The clerk printed the information on a piece of paper and gave it to her. She was so overwhelmed - as she was only a step away from meeting the eyes that made her live so long.
She took the paper and left. The sharp pain in her chest was slowly increasing and she began to sweat. She had to make her choice and she knew there was time only for one of her tasks.
She got into the car. She was so used to the voice in her GPS device. As the engine whirred into life, she looked at the sky through the windshield- a faint rainbow. She made her decision then. She switched the GPS device on and clicked 'Take me home'.
