Chapter 3: chapter 3

PART - 3 Linda had been waiting for a long time she started getting irritated, sitting in the cafe.She thought, 'What's wrong with this guy?. Can't he be punctual, or if there is an issue, don't he have the manners to inform.'It had been almost half an hour since she had been waiting for him. Suddenly, she heard she heard someone talking, and when she looked in that direction, she saw Nishant, who was talking to someone on the phone. She looked at him. He waved at her and sat opposite hers. " Hi Linda, I hope you weren't waiting for me for a long time. When did you arrive ?"" I arrived about almost 30 minutes before."" I'm so so sorry Linda, there was an emergency meeting in the office, and I couldn't avoid it. I didn't have any other option. Sorry for making you wait for so long. I couldn't make a call as well, but I had texted you. Didn't you see that?"." Oh, I didn't see the text. I mean, I don't usually check messages during work hours, but I do attend calls if it's important. "Nishant felt bad when he heard that, Linda noticed his face." Hey, it's OK, Nishant. Anyhow, I was on leave today. I had a small function to attend in the morning, and now I don't have any other engagements, so it's perfectly all right."" Anyhow, I don't think what I had done was right. I mean, it's my fault. "" It's not a big deal Nishant now don't make a fuss about it. I have taken your apology. Now let's come to the matter. "Linda smiled. Nishant felt relieved on seeing her smile, and he smiled at her. That was the first time he saw her smile he looked lovingly towards her smile. Linda was also attracted to his smile it was an innocent and sincere one. " Yea, but before that, let's order something. What would you like to have ?"." Actually, I drank a juice. I mean, I had been sitting here for a long time, and I don't think it's right to sit here for a long time. " She said with the same smile.Nishant was a bit embarrassed. He said, " I am again sorry for this, but let's have a coffee at least for my happiness , please."They ordered and Nishant started explaining about the issue " Linda the matter is a bit personal it is about my cousin Rita and her husband Manav they are both on the verge of filing for a divorce and she is desperate about it I mean it is some understanding issues so you should help them. I mean, they don't have any serious issues it's just a lack of communication and nothing else. So, we need your help Linda"." I think if it's a small problem, why don't they try solving it outside without any external support?"" I know Linda, but that's not the case. Manav isn't agreeing to talk to her he has totally misunderstood her. I mean, it was a love marriage, and their families are making it worse. Actually, we want to solve it in an unofficial way. But I don't think Manav would agree to come if he comes to know it's unofficial. "" But do you think he is good enough if he's not even agreeing to meet?"" Yes, of course. I know Manav very well. In fact, he is a nice guy. Actually, there were small faults on both of their sides, and Rita had been worse with him many times. If you are fine with this, then we can meet Rita and discuss the problems and later solve the problem. I mean only if you're okay with it. We don't want the case to move on to the court. "" Sure, I will do my best, and the case usually doesn't go directly to the court. We give the couples counseling and give them time to think. It's not a sudden process. So don't worry. "" Thank you, Linda. I'll inform Rita and let's meet on another day when you are comfortable. "They both shook hands and bid goodbye, agreeing to meet later.     To be continued....
