Oh My God! It was Emily’s first reaction when she noticed her phone ringing alongside her bed at 2:00 a.m.
Finding hard to believe that it was really a call from Avi (that’s how she used to address him) whom she always wanted to avoid, she dragged her hand to the side table and picked it up. She was stunned to believe what she had been listening.
Avi wanted to see her. It was after many years when she got to listen that voice that used to keep her delighted once. She always wanted to talk to Avi for hours but it never happened.
She was stunned and kept listening ‘I wanted to see you Emily, it can be a decision of lifetime. I have always regretted what I did. ‘
Can you hear me? Avi said louder, finding himself unable to listen even a single word from Emily.
‘Yeah’, said Emily, Carry on!
Avi insisted to see her next evening as he flew to Mumbai after 5 years. Time has changed. Now it's Emily who has to decide. Emily, somehow managed to put him off by saying that ‘it’s too late now! We will talk tomorrow’.
Avi hanged up the phone but after ensuring from Emily that they would meet.
The next morning, Emily woke up with a smile as she still felt it like a beautiful dream. She got ready for college where she had been appointed as a Language Professor.She almost forgot about the incidence and might not even thought of it if Shreyas didn’t seek her permission to leave early.
