Unvoiced Words

Chapter Five

MIA

I was sitting in my office, checking some files, when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was Zahir Shah. Why is he calling me again. I don't want to talk to him, so I didn't pick up his call. I still remember my last conversation with him.

FLASHBACK
(In Chapter Three....when Zahir called Mia for the first time)

"Hello... Zahir Shah this side.... Am I talking to Maya Rathore?" He introduced himself and i was shocked after hearing his name. He is my cousin and son of my bua (aunt). But neither have we seen each other in the last seven years and nor we were in touch, so how did he got my number and why did he call me. What he wants now.

"Yes...why did you call and what do you want?" I asked him directly in a cold tone masking my emotions.

"Whoa Maya... We are talking after seven years and you didn't even ask me how I am?" he said very dramatically....such a drama queen.

"I'm not interested in knowing how you are, so tell me how you got my number and why you called me?" I asked him in annoying tone.

"I have my ways for getting your number but" he took a pause and said again

"App abi tak naraz ho, saat sallo ke baad bhi" his voice became small and weak at the end of the sentence.
( you are still angry, after seven years)

"If you called me for asking this then I'm hanging up." I said to him and tried to cut the call.

"No no no...please don't cut the call Mia. It took me months to get your number." He said in pleading tone.

"I'm getting married next week and I am inviting you to attend my marriage. Mom also wants to meet you, she is very guilty for what she did to you that day." He requested me but I don't want to meet anyone from my past. I don't want to scretch those wounds which is still green.

"Sorry but I won't come" with that i cut the call.

END OF FLASHBACK

I was thinking about that conversation when again my phone rang and again it was Zahir. I knew why he called so I didn't pick up his call.

He used to be my best brother, best cousin and best friend. We shared everything with each other. He is one year younger than me, but sometimes he behaved like he is elder brother. But everything ruined that day when he didn't stand for me, when he believed in her not me, when he left my side.

I still remember that day, when I lost everything I had. I was thinking about that day, when there was knock on the door.

"Come in," i said and my secretary came into my office and gave me more files for signing.

"Stop wasting your time Mia and do your work." i thought and started my work.

#####

It's nine at the night. I was having my dinner when again Zahir called me.

This time I picked his call and he literally cried and pleaded to me to come to his marriage, but I'm not going so I said that I need some time to decide whether to come or not. And about the number, he said that he saw me a few months ago in Hyderabad  when i was buying a new sim card. But when he came to meet me, by then i left from there. So after trying for months, that shop keeper gave him my number.

I remembered, I was in Hyderabad when I lost my phone, so I bought a new phone and new sim card. I didn't use this number for anything which is related to my business, so there is no issue.
