The meeting got postponed beyond office hours !! It was irritating to glance through the graphs.Same story ….every month… every quarter! I dialed up Anu, thinking this, while stepping out of the office . Ohhh …It’s her extra classes day at the institute ! I miss her so much today . I don’t want to go home, to that empty room, that I call my space . I called up Raman, one person I can declare my true friend in this distant city away from home. The phone was switched off. I gave a 90 degree turn to my steering wheel & reached his room . I needed company today, badly. I rang the doorbell and the door opened almost instantly. Without looking up, I just entered inside. “Hey is it the Pizza guy? ” , someone asked. The voice seemed similar! Anu?? I turned to see a woman in a bath robe with wet hair and the face! Am I hallucinating? That can’t be my Anu!! No!! Not Anu!! Raman Stood next to her in his shorts!

Perplexed, I had a face off with love & trust today. That moment , I turned into a statue!

Love,

Chinmayee
