A week later, on August 1st, at 11 pm, Naga was pacing the floor at Gate 23A of Annadurai International Airport, impatient for the boarding announcement of Flight CE 609 to Pyongyang.
Maya was sitting next to his old mother, taking care of her needs. She decided to cut short the visit and come back for her research later. Meeting Naga's father was more important, and more importantly she could get to see her baby once again.
The only way they could get Naga’s mother to accompany them was to pretend that they were going Corea to meet her parents and finalize their marriage. A white lie for now, it was still a possibility, though it would take time. Of course his mother would forget the deal, once she met Subbaiah and caught up with her past.
Finally the boarding call, as Naga stopped in his tracks, his heart thumping.
‘Whatever happens, happens for the good!’
