Failure and rejection taught me some crucial lessons, making heartbreak and disappointment familiar companions. In the past, dealing with separation would have consumed a significant amount of time for old Prashant. But one thing was abundantly clear: regardless of the circumstances, I had to keep moving forward. So, without dwelling on what could have been, I quickly dusted myself off, took a moment to gather my thoughts, settled the bill, and continued on my journey.

I attempted to reach Sandeep first, but he didn't answer the call. So, I decided to try Nishant, who happened to be with him. When I asked Nishant about their whereabouts, he informed me that they were together on Sandeep's bike, heading towards Brihannala's orphan house. It turns out they were going there as a gesture of gratitude, bringing gifts for the children. Nishant also mentioned that they couldn't reach me earlier because my phone was out of network range.
