A sad new!!

Mar 24, 2020

New York City, the number of covid-19 cases rose to one million and the whole state was locked down. All flights were cancel. Anna could not book a single ticket. While John was also devastated as he understood the gravity of the situation. He saw granny was more sick today and suddenly had breathing problems. He rushed to take her to the hospital as he also cared and loved granny and he knew what she meant to Anna. But unfortunately, Granny passed away after struggling for life for 8 hours. Anna was devastated when she heard the news. John felt hid heart piercing as he heard Anna sobbing on the phone. He was angry that he could not be beside her. But the situation was like this that he could not do anything. He could just hear her crying until she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, The hospital was super crazy, John notified the team over there that he would like to join them and would like to work. The hospitals were short staffed and needed workers badly and any help was more than welcome. John resume working while talking to Anna daily. He was praying for the locked down to open and he will just fly to Anna, even if there were no flights he will drive to her no matter how tiring it is. Anna in her old house was very sad so that's why John sent his parents to pick Anna as he did not want her to be alone this time. Anna got touched by his thought. John's parents were very nice and have seen Anna growing up so they knew John's love for her and would be happy if they both can be together. Actually John had already discuss with her mom that he was planning to marry her next year and was going to propose her on her birthday.

Days passed, and everyday there was a rise in the number of cases affected and number of deaths. The situation was far from being normal. Still Anna and John were talking on the phone daily. Anna knew that John was exhausted from work that's why she would always tell him to rest but he would not listen. He said, "Once, I hear your voice all my exhaustion is gone." Anna could not help but shake her heard and feel shy after listening to the comment.

Few days have passed, and they don't do video calls anymore but they would talk for hours remembering old days. How they fall in love? How John , being a silly guy proposed her? How he had cared for her during her parents demise and now also he was with her granny during her last days and have cared for her. Anna understood may be he was tired and that's why he refuse to do video calls. She knew that working 15 hours shift was not a joke. John was always a man of responsibility and commitment. He never was scared of hard work. For her as long as she can talk to him, she didn't mind anything else. Even after so many tragedy in her life , she felt lucky to have him in her life. Its been only few months and she knew that she cannot leave without John.
