Mocking Destiny

The killer was about to be exposed when his phone rang. It was 2 in the morning and he wasn't expecting any call. One... two ... three... three rings and it stopped. He thought its better to get back to Castle and Beckett solving the mystery than checking who the unexpected caller is. He finished the episode, picked up the phone and was shocked to see the number. It was the last person he had expected. It was her. He rubbed his eyes and checked. The caller ID says Riya Rel. It was her only. He never expected her to call again.

But here she was, calling him at this time of the day just like the old times. The old times when they were very good friends. The time they used to talk on phone for hours. The time when he traveled 500 odd KMs just to meet her once, that too taking a paid leave from office.

They were not into an affair but had a very good bonding. There was hardly anything they kept secret from each other. But then everything vanished. It ended over nothing. There was no fight, no argument, nothing. The relationship was over.

And it was her who was responsible. She stopped calling him. He tried calling her several times, sent loads of messages but all went unanswered. She never told him and he never got to know the reason for this erratic behavior of hers. All he knew was that he has lost a very good friend and he accepted that.

But why is she calling him today after such a long time. Its not his b'day. There's no other special occasion he can think of. Then why is she calling.

He thought many a times before dialling that number and when he did, it went unanswered again. Hundreds of thoughts went through his mind. Was she just teasing him. Was it some kind of a joke. Did she dialed him by mistake and so on.

He was trying to get to a significant conclusion when his phone rang again. She was calling him back. He never felt that excited before. He instantly picked up the phone but just to find out that she never called him that morning. He insisted that he has the missed call in his logs but there was none in hers.

Well, he did get a call. If she didn't call him then who did. It was not in her call logs, then hows that possible. Network prob??? He never heard of such a strange problem but well, he has experienced one by himself now.

Whatever happened that day was all very confusing and uncanny. He was not sure that it was a network problem or it was her who wanted to call him and then changed her mind. He didn't know whom to blame, her or Reliance.

That day, he experienced a lot of feelings. He felt extremely thrilled when she called her the second time. And knowing that she never called him was as dejected as it could get to.

But in the end, everything was same as it was yesterday. They never spoke again and nothing changed. It was like destiny was mocking him.
