Mohit's POV.

I called Harry to book my tickets on the first flight to Mumbai.

Mom insisted that since I was going to Mumbai alone, Srusti would be staying with them. I agreed to it as she would also be happy about it. Kids were excited to have their mami with them. 

I went to my penthouse to pack an overnight bag.

Robin called again,  I was still not in a mood to talk to him so I ignored the call.

But he kept calling me... Ultimately I took his call as I was getting disturbed and irritated now.

" Hello !! "

" Hey Jaan!!! Angry with me??? Let it be na yaar... I was really busy. "

" No, I am not angry. I am just too busy. "

" I know you are... I missed your calls. I was... "

" I know you were busy and so am I. Tell me why were you calling me? "

" Why can't I call the love of my life?" He said and I rolled my eyes.

" See Robin, I am actually in the middle of something, say whatever you have to say. "

"  Sorry Jaan... Please forgive me. I swear that I would make up for the lost time. Just give me 15 more days my love and I would come to Delhi to spend some quality time with you. "  He said.

" It's ok Robin, you do your work, you don't need to worry about me. And please don't bother to come on my account. "

" Why are you saying all that. You know you are important to me. Don't you? "

" Yeah, I do not doubt it anymore. I came to know about my importance in your life. "

"  What ?? I was really busy, Jaan. Don't be so angry... You are being very harsh to me. "

" I am fine and I am busy as well. In fact, I am going out of India for a month. So I won't be here, when you are planning to come. So please don't bother to come if you are coming to meet me. "

" You are going on vacation?? Without me?? And didn't you just say that you are busy? "

" I am busy, ok and I can't talk on the phone. If you think it is important, then come and talk to me today itself as I am going abroad after 3 days. "

" Today?? How can I come all of a sudden?? I am so busy. I am even sleeping in my studio, working like a maniac. I don't even have time to have a decent meal. I can't get away even from my studio, forget about leaving Mumbai. I can't take even an hour off from my busy schedule. "

" Fine !! Then we would meet after a month if you would be able to take out time then. "

" Where are you going and with whom?? "

" None of your business...  Bye,  I need to go. " I disconnected the call and closed my bag.

I was all set to go to Mumbai. I need to get it over with. My flight was in 2 hours. I was about to tell Robin that I was coming to meet him. But then I thought about it. I wanted to see what was keeping him so busy. I called a cab to go to the airport.

It has been just 15 minutes since I disconnected the call... He called me again. I ignored it, but he was persistent and kept calling. Finally, I picked up the phone.

" What ?? I told you I am busy. " I said in an annoyed voice.

" Why are you being so difficult?? Don't bang your phone on me again. "

" I think you were busy Robin... Do your work and let me do mine. "

" Why are you avoiding me?? "

" I am avoiding you?? Look who is talking... "

" Cut the sarcasm... I was shaping up my career. I have to earn my bread and Butter. "

" So do I... "

" What do you mean? "

" I mean that if you need to work, so do I. I need to earn too. "

" Oh, you are already filthy rich. "

" Do you think, I have a tree in my backyard which produces money and gold coins instead of leaves and fruits?? I also work hard. All those vacations we went on, were possible because of that. "

" Oh please, you were born with the silver spoon. " 

" Yeah I was, but I like to earn and spend my own money. I don't like to spend my dad's money. "

" Why are you behaving like this?? Where are you going, wait for 15 days, I will come with you? We would enjoy ourselves. "

" Listen, I have to finish my work before I go for my break. I will talk to you later. " I said and disconnected the call.

I had already reached the airport in Delhi. I boarded the plane and I switched my phone off.

****

I reached Mumbai and switched on my phone and hired a cab to go to his studio.

I was still going to meet him when he called again. But I decided not to tell him in advance.  I picked up the call again.

" Hello?? "

" Don't you dare bang your phone on me and switch it off later. "

" Ok, fine say, you have 10 minutes and then I have an important meeting. "

" Have you found someone else?? Are you getting seriously involved with someone?? "

" I am not, but how does that even matter?? We have always been in an open relationship, so what if I have?? I never ask you what you are doing.   As it is we are not together. Are we??"

" Of course we are... Why are you even saying it?? You know how I feel for you. "

" Oh please Robin, we haven't even met each other in the last 7-8 months. What kind of relationship is that?"

" Long distance relationship, Mohit. "

" Thanks for telling me... But even in that, the partners try to meet each other. Not like us... I wanted you here with me in my tough time. But you don't even pick up the phone. "

" I told you, I was busy. "

" Listen I am also busy... I will talk to you later. I have to go abroad so I have to complete some important works and designs before that. "

" Can't you postpone your trip? I need you. "  Robin said.

" You need me??? What about me?? I also have needs... I am literally annoyed and frustrated mentally, emotionally and sexually. " I said in a very high tone. The cab driver looked at me through the mirror and then immediately looked away.

" Oh, my Jaan... I wish I could meet you today itself. But my deadline are just around the corner, I don't even have time for a meal. I am working here in my studio since morning and have not even had a cup of coffee.  Please try and understand. But I promise I would tend to all your needs once I meet you. "

" I don't know... I don't think, we could go on like this. This long-distance open relationship is irritating me now.  I need someone I can spend time with, who is there when I am in need. Who could hold my hand when I need mental and moral support. Someone beside me, to be there in all situations. I want someone in my bed in the cold nights." I said and the face of a certain someone came into my mind. My sweet and shy angel. But why??

" Then go out, meet some new people. Party my love. Go on date with sexy girls and handsome men. You don't need to restrain yourself.  "  He said and somehow I didn't like it at all.

" I don't want to do any such thing. My family has gone through so much. My mom and dadi..." I was speaking when he interrupted.

" I know... I am really sorry to know that. But please don't feel guilty for all that. It's not your fault. "

" Just the thought of me being interested in men, made them visit an ICU. So whom do you think should I blame? Of course, it's because of me."

" But it's not a crime... It's your preference. They need to understand." He was back on that track. Can't he understand my family issues.

" Wait Robin, I will call you back in 5 minutes, something has come up. " I said and disconnected the call.

I had reached his studio by now so I told the driver to wait while I went inside.

It was better to have this conversation face to face. I need to cool down and has to make him understand that this relationship was not going anywhere and we needed to end it.

He was not going to take it easy. I know that. But it has to end. I could not live my life like this.
