  I reached home. I was not hungry, so I opened fridge, took milk Carton out and drank it. I was feeling tired so, instead of watching TV as usual I decided to go to the bed directly.

I was about to sleep when my phone started ringing. It was unknown number.

"Hello, Ashok Avasthi here. How can I help you?", I answered the phone.

"........", there was no answer from the opposite side.

" Hello? Is anybody there?"

Still no reply. Already I was not in the mood of talking with anyone, so I disconnected the call and threw my cell phone on bed.

First of all, it was not something odd for me it receives phone call this late but what happened today was certainly odd. I started thinking about the phone call. From whom it must be? Definitely not from the client, because very limited people have my personal mobile number. What about Meera? No! Why she would call? After this that happened today? If she had something to talk with me she would have at least shown some signs that we know each other. But what if she didn't know how to start conversation? What if she wanted to tell me something but I only couldn't understand it? What if she already tried to reach me but I shut the all doors? Was it right infront of it and I let too much time to pass by?

' Leave it Ashok! It was just a blank call. Why you are thinking about it so much?' I told myself. Maybe I can search the number on 'True caller'. I hurriedly grabbed my phone, opened true caller, punched in the number, pressed search. Next 10 to 25 seconds felt to me like years but alas, the result it shown was "No Record Found". I kept the phone down and decided to sleep.

'Bingo! If it's Meera's number, I can cross verify it from our database.', I opened the eyes suddenly. My sleep was totally gone. I saw the time in the watch, it was 2:45. I called our HQ. It was picked by our night shift operator.

"Hi, this is Sameer. How can I help you?"

"Sameer this is Ashok, the C.E.O., sorry to bother you, but I need you to grant me access to the desktop in my cabin through 'team ware'."

"Sure Sir, just give me a minute." After around 5 to 6 minutes he granted me access. I mined her mobile number from her resume.

"Thanks Sameer."

"Happy to help you Sir."

I kept the phone down and eagerly matched the number and here it is. The blank call I received was from Meera. Finally, she got time to call me after so many years and after calling also she didn't said anything. I think this girl has decided to give me frustration all the time. Was our relation this much formal? Maybe I failed to create bond between us. Maybe I was the one, who couldn't comfort her.

All these thoughts made me restless. All these emotions burst out with a heavy force. I had successfully managed to keep them deep inside my mind so that nobody will know what is happening even for me also but, after seeing her today, I couldn't have controlled myself. My head was aching heavily. I decided to take sleeping pill, anyways it was Sunday tomorrow. Before sleeping I had decided one thing for sure, whatever happens on Monday I will neither try to talk with her nor I will show that I know her.

Finally, I was able to sleep peacefully. The Sunday went so fast as usual. Actually, weekend is only the evening of Saturday. We spent whole Sunday saying only one thing "tomorrow again office"

So, it was thebig day tomorrow!
