I walked through the street to reach the store that is situated near my apartment building. I bought yogurt and ice cream for myself. I walked out of the store and started walking back to the building.
It had rained an hour ago. The weather was still cloudy and very pleasant. I got wet in the rain.
The sun had set and everything was covered in the darkness. I reached my apartment door in five minutes and put the stuff in the fridge.
I heard ringing sound of my phone, the moment I entered the apartment.
I forgot to take it with me to the store. It might be in the bedroom. I rushed inside the bedroom before the ringing sound dies.
I looked at the caller ID. It was Ehan. I wasn't expecting him to call me at all after me giving him cold shoulders and here many missed calls from him showed at the screen.
"Hello" I answered.
"Kahan thi tum?" He asked worriedly from the other side.
(Where were you?)
"I went to store to get few things" I replied calmly.
"Why weren't you picking up my calls? Main pareshan ho raha tha. Koi ehsas hy tumhain!" He asked grumpily.
(I was getting worried for you. Do you even realize it)
"I forgot my phone at home. I just came by now" I replied monotonously.
"Why was it at home. You are supposed to keep your mobile phone with you. That's its purpose" He asked seriously.
"Right" I didn't reject the idea. I should have kept it with myself. He wasn't wrong to say that.
"Do you even have any idea how much worried I was for you? You are alone there and it's night for God sakes!!" He had this habit of arguing without any reason.
"Why you left the home alone at this time. I asked you to take care of yourself. That's how you are taking care of you. Bravo!" He wasn't pausing.
"I am fine" I sounded irritated.
He fell silent. For a next few seconds, he didn't say anything. I thought he hung up the call but he finally spoke up.
"Don't do it again. Keep your mobile phone with you all the time" He instructed.
"Alright" I murmured.
"What did you get from store by the way? You told me yesterday you don't need anything" He asked calmly this time.
"Yogurt" I told him.
"You should have asked me to get it yesterday when I asked you" He said normally this time.
"I forgot"
"You didn't leave any messages for me today?" He sounded weird.
"I was busy" I wanted to say I don't want to talk to you but I couldn't. I don't why I was so scared of him?
"I was waiting" He murmured.
"For what?" I didn't understand.
Was he waiting for my messages? Like I always used to do because I cared about him and his wellbeing. I always wanted to keep in touch with him whenever he went abroad. But now I was done with him and myself. I didn't want to talk to him about anything.
"I will call you later. Allah Hafiz" He hung up the call.
And he called me again before going to bed. He had this habit of calling me from his workplace. We wouldn't talk much on the call but he would ask me what I would prepare for dinner. Sometimes he would ask me to prepare a certain dish which I always gladly accepted. I always waited for his calls but not today.
I was ready to fall asleep when my mobile started ringing. I didn't want to talk to him.
Why he was behind me?
"Hello" I said.
"Hello. How are you?" He asked as if he didn't call me a few hours ago and we didn't talk.
"Fine" I muttered.
"What are you doing?" He asked calmly.
"I am going to sleep now" I replied without considering that he wanted to talk. I was never this important for him to waste his time on me.
"Mehr! Why are you ignoring me?" He asked out of nowhere.
"Why would I?" I laughed humorlessly.
"What's wrong with you?" He sounded desperate.
"Nothing" First time I was doing something right.
"You aren't talking to me properly" He complained.
"I am"
"You had dinner?" He changed the topic.
"Yes"
"I didn't have mine" He told me without me asking anything.
I wasn't in the mood to ask him why he didn't have dinner. I couldn't force him to have it when I was feeling so much distant from him. I had given everything to him but still I myself was empty handed.
"Okay" I sounded uninterested.
"I don't feel good" He told me thinking that I would get worried for him, would ask him to take care of himself like I always used to do.
"Take care. Allah Hafiz" I hung up the call.
I couldn't tolerate his voice anymore. His absence had left a good effect on my mood I couldn't destroy it by talking with him any longer.
Moments later I received a message from him.
I miss you.
I read the message and a sad smile formed on my lips.
