Chapter 36

Mona took one last look around the airport, wishing to catch one last glance at her friend.

"Mona, we need to go. She would come to visit once she has her annual leave. It should be in two or three months" Gary said, trying to distract her.

"I will miss her, Gary. I am already missing her. And…I am worried about what she was about doing" Mona said, still trying to look again.

"You don't have to worry about her. You know that Ella can get out of any sticky situation even more than we do. She will be fine"

" No, Gary. I want to be assured she will be fine. I won't leave until I know she is fine"

" If she doesn't hear the plane's departure, she won't be fine either. Do you want all her efforts to be wasted?" Gary tried to persuade.

After two minutes, the flight attendant urged them to get on the plane as they were delaying the passengers. Mona reluctantly followed Gary inside as her heart prayed silently for the safety of her friend.
