Chapter 6: chapter 6

PART - 6Deepa, Linda's colleague and best friend, was sitting beside her she felt something was not right with Linda. She was noticing a change in her from morning itself." What happened, Linu? What's wrong dear, aren't you okay ? "" Nothing, Deepa. I'm alright." Linda smiled with a difficulty." Don't lie. I have known you for a long time so I know there's something you can't lie to. Linu, just say what's wrong. "Linda told her what had happened in the morning. " So is that the reason for your tension? I mean, you were the one to reject that proposal now. What's wrong ? He might have developed some feelings for you. But as you aren't interested, why should you be concerned about his feelings ."" But this isn't like that. "" What makes this different? You had already rejected this proposal, and as it was a proposal from their side, you should've guessed he might be sad as you said a no. "" Yea but then it wasn't my concern because he was a stranger to me but now it's not like that we're good friends and if he has feelings for me it's different I can't just leave him like that. "" Oh, so you've developed feelings for Nishant, I see. Then convey this to him. "" No, Deepa, it's like I just feel bad to have rejected my friend, nothing more. "" Okay, fine, but this is your life, so you should make a decision, my dear, rather than giving importance to your friend's feelings. " Deepa smiled she knew Linda started loving Nishant, but she wanted her friend to realize it, so she was trying to make it clear for her." How can I be that cruel? I mean, I think he's serious about this proposal. "" Then think wisely and make a decision. Because it is your life and your decision later, you shouldn't regret it. "Linda thought about this for the whole day.But it was very difficult for her to make a decision. She tried to divert her attention to many other things. But she couldn't her thought was revolving only around this.Two days passed by, and Linda was becoming uneasy. Because during all these days, Nishant used to call her. But these two days, she knew that she was missing him.His calls, his voice, and the meetings she missed everything. She tried dialing his number, but then she dropped the idea because she didn't know how to start a conversation with him. All this while they had a reason to talk in the form of Rita and their last meeting made a crack to the friendship that they had developed. So she didn't have a reason to talk to him. She knew the sound wasn't just expecting a friendship from her and disclosing reason that she had rejected the proposal because of the financial status, which seemed a mistake to her.She thought about sharing everything with her parents later. She felt that it was Nishant who she should talk to first.So this time, making up her mind, she dialed Nishant's number.To be continued.....
