He saw her name flash on the screen. And once again, he left the phone ringing.

*I might be a little busy right now. Kindly leave your message after the beep*

Hi Rahul,

It's Aditi. Your other half. I don't know why I feel the need to introduce myself again. But it's just a precaution. Just in case you've deleted my number or forgot my voice.

It's been two weeks Rahul. Two weeks since I wrote to you. Two weeks since I've heard from you. Two weeks.

Why are you giving me this silent treatment, huh? Why? Was clinging to your habits such a big mistake? Or were my efforts to be myself the reason for that? Was asking for one last chance such a big crime?

Whatever your reasons, these two weeks have been fatal for me. For the girl who liked to be alone, this solitude feels like a death choke. Since this past three years, I've got so used to your presence that now, your sudden absence makes me feel like I'm in a different world.

Please drag me back to my world Rahul, please!

Even if you wish to reject me, just say so and end it. Don't keep me hanging on this rope Rahul. Just end this misery once and for all.

It's valentines day tomorrow. The day we met three years ago.

I'd wait for your answer till tomorrow. And if you decide not to, this will be my last call.
