Feeling of Home

Doctor Maheshwari finished his statements and paused for a few minutes, to let Sagrika absorb the shock. 

*He knew...he knew everything from the very beginning, but how? And why didn't he stop her, or ask anything earlier? She was dying from the guilt of lying to her teacher; as well as the first hand embarrassment of getting caught, when she heard his voice again.*

"Doctor Sagrika, are you still here?" 

"Ohh! Umm, yes. I am sorry, Doctor, what were you saying?"

*She replied quickly, chiding herself 'Couldn't you come up with something better to say, Sagrika! Something, anything would be better than her prompt- what if he repeats everything again? How would she face him?'*

But then she heard his voice crackling through the speaker once again.
