Option or Priority

Saki POV:

I jumped out of my bed hearing my mom's voice "Saki, it's going to be 1, are you sure you are not going?"

"Mom, am off today, Give me coffee please... I slept late and very tired"

She looked at me knitting her eyebrows, I know, My mom could not believe what I was saying as I have not taken off from my work since the time I joined, not that am a sincere worker, it's just that I don't want to risk not going to Tarawar junction even for a day.

I took my phone wondering if I should call him or not to confirm the venue. Oh my god, there were 10 missed calls from Arun, I remembered placing my phone in silent mode yesterday night as it was kept ringing. Aww...I am sure he will chide.

I called Arun preparing myself to take his blow.

"You just up, are you ok? Aunty was worried why you took off which is unlikely" he sounded concerned

"Hmmm, I slept very late and going out at 5, so took off"

"Going out? Where? with whom?"

"Hey...you know what, there is nothing to be worried, I spoke to him Arun, his details were not there because they were not his details in the first place" I brought him up to speed on how he knew my information and everything

"huh..Ok, as long as you are convinced", he hummed and continued "so where are you going?"

"I owe him a lot...so wanted to treat him for saving me, even though its delayed, I wanted to thank him properly. He agreed to meet at 5 near the..." I stopped in between as I was kept hearing a beep noise

"Priya, You there?" Arun called me out

"Yes Arun, am getting a call from him...he has been calling me continuously. Let me call you back".

I ended the call and waited for Arjun to call me back.

Tears of joy streamed down my cheeks at the thought of him and strangely I had a warm feeling talking to him yesterday. Honestly, I was little nervous to pick his call.

My phone rang again.

"Who the hell are you talking to? I have been calling you for a while?", He roared

I was at loss for words. "You there?" he asked

"Saki, are you planning to have your lunch or not? You didn't eat dinner also, should we go to Vicky's hospital?" My mom entered my room interrupting

"Mom, am alright, I will have it in few minutes, you please go", I pushed her out while holding the phone.

"What happened? Why didn't you eat till now?" he asked, concerned.

"am just feeling dizzy with your bipolar roller-coaster" I snapped.

"Aww, am sorry, really...I am actually getting into a meeting in another few minutes and I tried calling you to tell you that I won't be able to meet you today as my schedule is pretty much tight...Why didn't you eat till now? Are you ok?

"Did you say sorry?" I asked incredulously

"I did and am really really really sorry Dimple...I will try not to lose my cool with you, trust me. Now can you please answer why you didn't eat still?" He asked softly and every part of me melted away.

"I just woke up...I will have it"

"Hmm, now would you please care to tell me with whom you were talking to?" he asked politely
