The next day, he woke up with Nishant's call." Hello, good morning. "" Morning Nishant. "" Oh, so today I woke you up? "" Yes."" Sorry, did I disturb you? "" No, Nishant, I usually wake up by 6.30, so it's almost the time to wake up. So it's totally fine. "" Okay, I thought you would be busy as your day starts, so I thought I'll call my dearest friend in the morning itself. "Linda smiled when she heard the way he called her." Actually, Linda, I called to inform you something. "" What's it, Nishant? "" I've got a meeting in the UK, so I would be heading in the afternoon flight. I don't know when I would return after it maybe I would have to stay there for some time. So I won't be able to call you. "Linda became desp when she heard that. However, she didn't say anything. " So I don't want my friend to complain that I ignored you or anything like that. Okay? "" Hm.. Okay. "" I'll try to text you, but I can't assure you. Anyhow, I have got to pack things even if you would be busy with your chores. So bye Linda. "" Bye, Nishant. "" Just a bye you aren't wishing me?
