The duo woke up late in the morning after all of yesterday's fatigue and feasted on a hearty breakfast to prepare for the day's drive. They had planned to reach Meher's place in Delhi well before sunset by embarking upon an uninterrupted four-hour drive to Agra and then another three hours to their destination for the night, halting periodically only for restroom breaks or to switch drivers. Whereas Vidhi was eager to be back behind the wheels after missing out for an entire day, Akshaya was pleased to let her drive to her heart's content while she gazed at the landscapes and processed her thoughts in peace. Vidhi had already taken the car out to get it refueled nearby and by the time the clock-tower struck eleven, they were ready to rock and roll ahead.
