Prinku: Bitch! Where the hell are you?
Prinku: Please call me. Wherever you are.
Prinku: Found the note, but I'm very angry at you. I thought I deserved better than a simple post it.
Prinku: Answer my calls!!!!
She read Priyanka's messages since the remaining four were just filled with curse words. She had left notes for Priyanka and Om saying that she was flying to Mumbai. She then noticed Om had sent many messages too. She hovered over the thought of whether she should or should not open his messages, because there might be questions that she couldn't answer at the moment.
Finally giving up, she clicked on his name and 10 unseen messages showed up.
Om: Where are you?
Om: Are you still up for sightseeing?
Om: I'm waiting for you at the gate.
Om: WHERE ARE YOU!! You're not in your room!
Om: Pick up my calls.
Om: Gauri, why are you in Mumbai?
Om: Please, have you reached there safely?
Om: At least text me back!!!
Om: Please Gauri, one message or one call, anything. Just tell me you're safe.
Om: I'm waiting for your call....or message. Please.
Gauri sighed after reading his messages. She really shouldn't have just informed them through a note. She knew Priyanka and Om deserved more than just a 'I'm fine' text so she decided to call them.
Calling Om...
She read on her phone's screen and put the phone to her ear.
"Gauri?" within 3 rings; she heard Om's voice from the other side, it was full of panic, frighten, and worry.
"Hello?" Gauri spoke lightly.
"Oh thank god!" Om exhaled as a sign of relief.
"Where the fuck are you?! Why are you in Mumbai? Why did you leave me hanging on a fucking single sheet of paper? And why the fuck where you not picking my calls?" Om asked, his voice raising with every question he asked Gauri.
This wasn't a funny situation at all, but Gauri still smiled deeply hearing the worry in his voice.
"Om, Om! I'm at my mum's house in Mumbai." She answered in one sentence, avoiding rest of the questions and Om went silent for a while on the other side.
"Why? Why would you do something like this? I was so worried for you. Why wouldn't you pick up a single call or even inform anybody here?" Om asked, his voice was a bit silent now and even though Gauri was not seeing him, she knew he was pinching his nose bridge in annoyance and he was looking at his feet which he was currently tapping due to annoyance.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't pick up any calls. I have no excuse for that, I just couldn't. I'm sorry. I had to get away from there--" Gauri started explaining but Om cut her off.
"Get away from there, or get away from me?" Om asked and Gauri's eyes squinted due to guilt.
"Om- I couldn't stay there, because.." Gauri once again spoke only to be cut off by him again. Usually, she would get back at him with a sarcastic comeback but today she was very well aware that she was at fault.
