Soon after Raj left for the trek with Rekha, Riya got busy with some leftover design work for a garment company that she had carried home the previous evening. It all got over by lunchtime. It being a holiday, she had no other engagements for the day either. Since her husband was away and her daughter was away in Delhi, there was nothing much to do at home. She hated sleeping the whole day, yet decided to take a short nap to escape the boredom. She went for a walk in the evening and after her return sat down on her balcony with a cup of tea and thought of calling her husband and getting an update on how the trek was going on.

"Hi Raj.. Where are you? Have you reached the camp?" she asked eagerly when her husband picked up the call.
