Three days may seem like a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things, but for Vaidehi and Viyansh, each second dragged on, filled with longing and an aching sense of absence. Both felt the strain of being apart, their emotions a testament to the depth of their connection. Vaidehi's sadness was palpable; it clung to her like a shadow, affecting everyone around her.  Her family noticed her mood and made various attempts to cheer her up, but nothing seemed to lift her spirits.
Meanwhile, Viyansh, though miles away, could sense the storm clouding Vaidehi's heart even through the pixelated screen of their video calls. Her eyes, usually so vibrant, were now dull and distant. He wished he could reach through the screen, pull her into his arms, and erase the sadness that had taken root. He redoubled his efforts at work, pushing himself to complete his tasks as quickly as possible. However, each task seemed to stretch longer than the last, and unforeseen complications kept cropping up, delaying his return.
Each call was filled with reassurances and promises of being together soon, but the physical separation took its toll on both of them. They talked about their day, shared their thoughts, and tried to maintain a semblance of normalcy, but the undercurrent of longing was always present.
