Day 85
“I will call you later” Hope said. It was his
birthday and she had called him in the midnight to wish on his birthday. But
ofcoz it was his birthday and it seemed like many of his friend’s call was on
wait. So she said, I think you should take their calls, we can talk tomorrow.
He said, “No I will call you later”, for which she said” you have fun, we can
talk some other time, but he insisted, “ No, I want to talk to you and will
call you later” , but seems like “the later” never came till date. She tried doing
her bit to make his birthday special but all she got was a rude response and
zero appreciation. She was perplexed. She was totally clueless for why hope was
acting like a chameleon. It was indeed the last
time they ever spoke.
Day 1
She went online after a real long time, and that
marked the first day. Somehow, there was a conversation happening
between them( they were schoolmates). They soon exchanged nos. and went up a
level from Facebook chat to whatsapp chat. Hope then even called her and they had a decent
conversation over the phone that night.
Day 2- day
20
They continued to whatsapp every single day. Their
days usually did not begin without greeting each other for the day and it only ended after they wished goodnight. This continued for quite sometime.
Day 20- day
60
There was no single day when they didn’t talk to
each other at least once in a day. It could be when he was back from work, or
may be when he was stuck in the traffic or when his friends were partying
outside. They somehow had so much to talk. With days, they emerged to be great friends.
Both of them believed that “it’s nice to remain single” and steered clear off
from the relationship thingy. However, both felt good talking each other,
wherein most of the times he was cribbing about his work, sometimes about the
stupid traffic, and sometimes about the delicious food I used to savor at home.
It seemed to be a ritual for her to pull his legs only to see him give up with a flat answer saying "you win"! She so enjoyed
doing that.
At present
It definitely took her to those days because the
smile said it all. Her smile faded in no time, coz she didn’t want to be
reminded of that. For, now she decided that she would never get close to
anyone. The faith which she had eventually developed for friendship had now started
to fade.
Day 61- 84
Things weren’t the same anymore. Reduced were the
calls and the messages. Looked like they had decided to stay away from each for
very own reasons. Good for both she thought.
Day 86
She waited almost till the end of his bday but didn’t
get to hear from him. She knew there was something that’s not going right. That’s
why she tried calling him the next day just to find out if everything was ok. But he never answered; she even left him a
message for which she never got any reply.
Day 87- 89
Only she knew how restless she was during these two
days. She asked herself” I didn’t have any high expectations! did i??” because
all she wanted was his reply. She only wanted to know what made him to just
call it quits. She hated herself for that.
Day 90
She typed a last message to him on FB thinking
hundred times before she could send it and then finally she sends it for one
last time and swore to herself that she would never text him or call him again.
She silently hoped that their paths would never cross. She was hurt this time, awfully hurt not because
he went away but because he went away JUST LIKE THAT. After a long time she
tried to trust someone only to end up allowing him to hurt her. She realized she
had it enough, it was time. It was now time to close the 90 day chapter with HOPE!
At Present
There she is today, back to her cold self.
