He saw Priya near his car waiting..Abhi ignored her and moved towards the car door.. but she stopped him"Wait Abhi please!!.." Priya saidAbhi who had opened the car door shut it hardly as he was angry now"What???" He said in anger and turned towards herPriya got scared but continued"See don't be angry..""Then what else should I do Priya.. should I appreciate you..." Abhi lashed out but he controlled himself as they were outside"Why don't you understand me?""Why can't you see the reality.. I mean what's wrong with you.. See you are irritating me very badly...?""Because I don't want to see the reality..." she said"That's your fault..Now please... I am getting late" Abhi said and moved..Priya was in tears..Abhi reached Anjali's college.. She was waiting for him.. "Where were you?""Sorry was busy in some work""Ok"The conversation ended.. Abhi was driving Anjali got lost in her own thoughtsThey reached home and got busy in their own works.. They both did not realise how mechanical their life had become..-------------------------------------------------------------------Next day Abhi dropped Anjali to college and then he came to office.. He noticed that he had not brought his mobile.. By that time Vinay came and informed him about the meeting which is to be held in the afternoon..Then in the afternoon the meeting started and it went up to 5.30PM Abhi could not leave the meeting in between.. On the other hand Anjali was waiting for Abhi. She did not understand what to do now.. She called him more than 10 times but he was not responding.. Anjali had a bad day at college and now her anger exceeded because of this wait..."Abhi.. where are you? pick up the call.." She said while calling him.. It was more than 1 hour now.. Now she was afaird why he was not recieving the call.. She then thought of going home through bus but it would be super rush in the evening.. But she had too... It was 6.00PM now and Abhi realised that he was one hour late and he did not have his mobile to inform Anjali.. He guessed that Anjali would have went home and he drove towards home..He came home and saw the door unlocked and understood that Anjali had came homeHe went to room and saw her busy in her work"Sorry Anjali.. tha...""Where were you?.. Can't you inform me if you can't come""I was busy... and I forgot my.." He was about to continue saying he forgot his mobile but Anjali interuppted"Yes... it is easy for you to forget me..""First listen to me.. what I am saying..""What?? Do you know how long it waited there..??""You are speaking as if I intentionally did not come.... ""Yes and I think so..""Enough Anjali... I am already irritated .. please leave me alone""Yes.. Now a days you get irritated if I talk""Anjali.. please what's wrong with you.. atleast for now stop I am not in mood to fight with you..."Abhi moved towards the cupboard thinking"You don't understand me Anjali..not then and not now..""You have changed Abhi.." she thought to herselfAnjali felt as if Abhi was ignoring her.. Abhi felt as if Anjali did not understand him..-----------------------------------------------------------------Priya was busy doing her work and was bit upset.. Nidhi did not go to ask her the reason.. Priya's mobile rang and she went out to speak.. then she came back to room"Who called?" Nidhi asked her"Friend of mine from Canada" Priya answered her"Ohh ok..." Nidhi saidShe looked happy afterwards..After a while.. Nidhi remembered something"Hey Priya.. I forgot to tell you something""What.." Priya asked her in surprise"While I was in office I got a call and that person told me that he wanted to talk to you""Who was that? His name?""He did not say his name..""But if he had to talk to me...why he would call you...?" Priya replied in surprise as she did not understand who that was.."That's what I asked him.. But he said nothing and told me to inform you..and also told to call back to same number which he had called me from" Nidhi explained"Ohh ...Give me the number.. I am curious.. who it is..?" Priya said"Me too😂because I want to know why did he contacted me.." Nidhi said"Lets see..." Priya took number from Nidhi and called back..Priya: "Helloo..
