'What if he is calling me to talk about his marriage? What if he is calling me to ask me what kind of gift he should buy for his girlfriend?'
Aalia thought and looked at the ringing phone.
'I hope he is calling me to give me a clarification on what happened in the past. But what if it's a false hope. '
She cut off the call.
"I am sorry. I don't want your words and deeds to hurt me anymore. "
She said to herself and kept her phone away. He didn't call her again afterwards. Aalia spent the rest of the day laying down in the bed and crying hugging her pillow.
"Aalii....."
She heard her mom calling her.
"Come on. Open the door. Are you alright? Why are you staying in the room for too long?" (Mom)
"I am fine, Mom." Aalia assured.
"You haven't eaten anything since morning." (Mom)
Aalia opened the door.

"Hmm... I am fine mom. I am having a slight headache. That's it." Aalia explained.
"May be it's because you haven't eaten your food. I will bring food and medicine." (Mom)
Aalia wanted to say a NO but she was too tired to argue. Her mom returned with the food.
"Mom, actually I am not hungry." (Aalia)
"No. You can't have medicine without taking your food. Eat a little." (Mom)
After eating a bit of her food. She excused saying that she felt like throwing up inorder to escape from food. She was again left alone with thoughts. She sat at the corner of her room hugging her legs and holding her body close to herself. She unknowingly fell asleep.
At night, her phone rang. She was in a deep slumber. She took her phone and looked at the caller ID.
"Hanuz ♡"
The call she was waiting for.
She took the call and they talked about each and every event that happened after her departure.
