High Rises: A Tale Of Malfeasance, Maoists & Mumbai Chapter IX


Editor: Read Chapter VIII here.

‘Darling, how are you doing?’

‘I miss you. When will I see you again?’

‘Soon my darling.’

‘Am afraid so. But we are almost there now.’

‘I love you. Please call as often as possible. I need to hear your voice.’

‘Of course. Me too. I love you too.’
