Phone Call

My heart filled with new hopes as I saw her name blinking on the screen of my cellphone. She called me at last.

"Hello", I said.

"Hi , When r u coming here?", she asked.

"Well....probably....by the end of dis month. Y did u ask dear?", I talked in my usual way since I was almost sure that she wanted me back in her life. It had happened many a times before.... trivial issues leading to bigger ones. But the next morning we wer always together. We never stayed without talking to each other for more than a day. It was only this time that almost 15 days passed without a single call or msg!!

But there was no reply from the other side.

"Y did u ask dat sweetheart?", I asked again.

She stil didnt reply.

I took the initiative one more time and said ,"Come on Darling....Say something atleast. I wil be coming back soon. What are you doing this weekend? We can go out to your fav.....", I couldnt complete as she interrupted. "I am busy this weekend. I just called you to ask for a favour".

"What favour...??", I said....quite hurt by the way she talked.

"I want all my letters and photographs back the next time you come here...Please dont forget.", her voice seemed emotionless.

I was shocked....couldnt believe that after 15 days of tears and broken heart....She didnt want me back. She just wanted her leters back....not me.

"Ok....I will remember. Nething else?", I tried to talk normal....another useless effort I must say.

"No....nothing else. Bi....and please dont forget"

"Sure. Bi.....I love you", I said. But she didnt hear. She had already kept the phone down.
