Friday, 10th June, 10:00 am 

Memories of the night before came rushing back. Amna was still sleeping, her face peaceful, her hand holding Sahil's. The solitary ray of sunlight that shone through the window lit up her face perfectly. Yet, Sahil's head was in turmoil. He had yet to break it to Amna that Meera would be here by evening.

Three days.. Defence..10th June.. Meera!  The phone call last night from out of the blue was back on his mind.
