She has been meaning to speak to him for days now. He kept
on making excuses sometimes about excess work and other times about how tired he
was. She kept on waiting, waiting for him to take out some time for her as he
had promised . She has been really patient all this while. But he never
called back.
So she gathered her apprehensions meaning to put them
in front of him.She wanted to tell him that all she wanted was to be felt
needed,felt as an important part, an unavoidable part of his life.So this time
she decided to call him instead of waiting for him to call.
The ring rang for a while. She was now sure that he wont take her call but after like a long
ring she heard a voice from the other end. ”Hello”,said a woman’s voice. The woman on the other side was almost
panting and gasping for breath. She was a little surprised. She was wondering
who this woman was who had answered his
phone .
She had known him for quite a while now and she knew he stayed
alone. Nevertheless,she asked for him.She said she wanted to speak to him.”This
is regarding what?”the woman on the other side asked authoritatively. Now she was really confused.She had no idea how to reply
back.She wanted to know who this woman was who was answering his phone that too
with so much authority.
She replied that she was a colleague from work and asked
when can she speak to him. The answer she got from the other end silenced her
for a long time.”He is away on his honeymoon.He will join work after a week.” answered the woman and disconnected.The wait had now come to an abrupt end.
