More than a best friend - Page 78/91

It had been a long while since Neha had broken her engagement with Nikhil, although she pretended on the surface that sahe was completetely out of it so that her parents do not get worried and feel hurt she would still silently cry till she slept every night, Smita knew the real feelings in her heart but she also was aware that it is very difficult to mend a broken glass the cracks always remain where they are.

Neha had changed her job in and was not in touch with anyone form her past, she did not want Nikhil to know about her whereabouts and did not want anyone to talk to her about him.

One day when Neha was returning back home from work her phone rang and she removed a phone to answer the call, she was in a delima as soon as she saw the name that flashed on the screen it was a call from Nikhil, she was thinking why is he calling me up after such a long time, what does he want now, and a delima of to answer or not to answer. In the midts of all these questions the phone call went unanswered. Nikhil did not call again, meanwhile she reached home, and got busy with her parents, she left her phone in the room and did not bother to look at it, post dinner when she when to her room to sleep, she picked up her phone to see 14 missed calls from Nikhil. Neha was clueless what to do, Smita was out of country with her cousins she sent her an SMS but due to the time zone difference Smita was already fast asleep.
