Rohan Sarthak's POV:

Three days. It's been three days since I last talked to her. She isn't even replying to my messages. I didn't even see her at school.

Why isn't she responding to me? Is everything ok with her?

Man! Many thoughts were running in my mind for the past three days. My mind and heart are not at peace. I am unable to concentrate on my revision either. Whenever I hear the notification sound, I reach out to my phone, thinking it's her, but always get disappointed.

"She must be busy." 

I came out of my thoughts when I heard Dad's voice. He was looking at me as I was playing with the food on my plate. Actually, I didn't want to tell him all this, but he obviously understands me without me saying anything.

"Not thinking about that," I said and again started eating.

Today, Dad made special as it is a Sunday. He made my favourite curry, which I would be devouring had my mood been good. But I didn't have any appetite.

"Listen son, you can't expect her to talk to you all the time just because she likes you, right? Even she must be having her own issues," Dad said, trying to lighten my mood.

"Of course I know that, but....I have a bad feeling. Is everything ok or not," I reasoned out.

"Ok after completing your lunch try calling her again," said dad.

After completing my lunch, I again dialed her. It began to ring. Goodness, it started to ring! For the past three days, it was only saying 'switched off'.

Pick up Tanvi, I said to myself. But my tiny hope got shattered as she didn't answer my call. I was again distressed. Why are you not answering Tanvi? At least reply to my messages.

I sat down on my bed. Before I could again dial her number again, a message popped in. It was from her. Finally, something from her. I literally jumped out of my bed, and my happiness knew no bounds. As a routine, a huge smile made its way to my face.

I immediately opened it and it showed, 'I am sorry. I am really sorry.'

Oh, no need to be so sorry, Tanvi. I wonder where all my anger, frustration, and worry went to.

I messaged to her, 'It's ok'. 

I awaited for her reply but got nothing. Now, what happened? She had replied to me just now, and again, she vanished away. 

'Are you ok? What happened to you? Why didn't you answer any of my calls and didn't reply to any of my messages?' Yet again, no reply.

'Is everything ok?' I asked her again. 

C'mon, now what's wrong again? I thought and called her instantly. I felt fed up with this silent treatment. Here I am thinking about how to convince her to meet me, but there she has been ignoring me. Like ****.

"Hello" I said immediately as she answered the call after I had calling her infinite number of times.

She didn't respond to me. Was my tone too rude? You arse! Can't you be a bit soft? I taunted myself and waited for her reply.

"Ms Vishnuvardhan?" I said, more like asked.

"I am sorry," came her immediate reply. What's with her sorry thing? I am not that angry on her. Even if I am, I definitely don't need sorry but rather an explanation. Wait, is she crying? Her voice is sounds slow and broken.

"Are you crying?" I asked her worriedly. After three days I am talking to her and she is crying. Did anything bad happen?

"Hey, Tan. You there? Tell me what's wrong and.." before I could ask anything further she cut me off and said, "I am not feeling well." 

I sighed in relief. Thank goodness nothing is wrong with her. And why did she suddenly fall ill? Then I recalled, how she had grabbed ice cream after school the other day. She ate a butterscotch cone and enjoyed it's taste till the last bite. I thanked the ice cream that day because of which I could see her for a few more minutes, but now the very same ice cream must have made her ill and caused this distance between us. I cursed the ice cream.

"That's why you shouldn't have had that ice cream. See how you got yourself sick," I chided her for her carelessness. But she remained calm. 

"How do you know?" she asked me slowly. ****, I cursed myself. How did I lose my tongue? I shouldn't have said that. Now what would I say? Will she believe my excuse?

"Well......y-you told me." ,I literally stuttered. Believe me. Believe me. I kept repeating it. Hope she does.

"Ohh. I did," she said in a whisper again.

I breathed out in relief as she believed and didn't ask further questions. Ok, let's change the topic before she gets back to that.

"I have something to ask," I said sternly. 

"Haa." she said after pausing for a moment.

"Can we meet?" I asked her straightforwardly. Hope she would agree. 

As I was waiting for her answer the call got disconnected. Not again! Seriously? Is she that scared to face me when she knows me already. And to my luck, even I know her. Then why all this shit? 

Now I am getting annoyed. We know each other from past one month till now. Within two weeks my CBSE boards are kicking off, and they last nearly for three more weeks. 

When will I meet her?

Tanvi's POV:

He wants to meet me. He wants us to meet. I kept on recalling his words, trying to register and understand what he just asked for. Why does he want to meet me? Certainly, because he thinks I like him.

"Argh" I shouted to myself. Why did I answer his call? Why did I respond to his messages? Still, I can't ignore him forever, I know that.

After throwing my phone to the floor the other day, which resulted in its complete wreckage, my Dad bought a new phone yesterday, and he inserted my old sim in it. As soon as I turned on my phones, I found hundreds of messages from many people. 

Some were asking me why I was not coming to school, and when I would be back as, from tomorrow, we have our Physics and Chemistry practical exams and assignments. Hence, many people need me. Well, I am useful to some, at least.

Out of all the other messages, my eyes fell on three people- Rohan(my crush), Samyuktha, and the unknown person who was Rohan. 

Well, Rohan messaged me, asking about my well being and other details, which I completely ignored. All of Samyuktha's messages were full of apologies and explaining regarding why she did that and how much she repents it now, but I don't have any feeling towards her. She is as good as a stranger to me now.

Though she came to my place twice in these past two days, I didn't meet her. I just don't want to see her. At least not now. If I see her again, I will become a crying mess. These three days, I have been trying to compose myself, making sure my parents won't doubt my weird actions. Initially, they were worried or at least acted to be worried when I didn't go to school and kept laying on my bed. But, I assured them saying I am ok, just a bit unwell.

Finally, the messages from the unknown person, even though I know his name is Rohan too, were from the day I stopped talking to him. In these three days, he had sent 75 messages, and there were 13 missed calls. When I read all those messages, he sounded so concerned about me. I couldn't help but cry. Why have I done this to him? 

Even though I wanted to tell him all the truth right now, when I heard his voice, I felt scared. Scared as what and how the consequences will be. But to my dismay, he asked us to meet. I am too fearful of talking to him now, and he is asking me to meet him. 

It's not like I will not tell him the truth. I do want to, but I am definitely not ready to face him, not face to face. I don't even know him.

Suddenly, my phone rang again. Since this is my new phone, I don't know whether he is indeed the one calling me or not. I didn't answer the call, but I knew he must be waiting for my reply. In this one month of conversations, I kinda got to know him better, and he is not the one who will be quite without getting proper answers.

So, with sweaty palms, I messaged him 'Give me some time'. Hope he agrees with this now, and thankfully, he did. 

I hope in this small time I will get to know who he is and what type of a person he is outside of those calls and messages.

So, guys, how's the chapter?
