"At last," he thought, waiting for her to check out. He was elated as he was going to see her after 12 years.
Though they had been corresponding all those years but had no opportunity to meet. He remembered her as the chubby-faced pig-tailed teenager.
And she had refused to send her picture, as she hated being photographed. Not even to him, who loved her so much.
Anyway, it did not matter now. She will be there in front of him in a few minutes. But he was getting impatient.
There she was. He would have recognised her anywhere. She looked just the way he had visualised her.
She looked around and saw him. "Hello," she said shyly.
"My, my, how you have grown! And you look so good," he replied.
"So do you," she said, poking her finger into his chest and hugged him close. "I have missed you all these years."
Hugging her back, he said, "So have I, little sister."
