Monica unlocked her apartment and stepped in. Her apartment was in one of the poshest buildings in Mumbai. What she loved the most was that her flat was sea-facing. Monica removed her sun-glasses and kicked off her heels. She closed her eyes as she placed her bare feet on the cold marble tiles. The feeling was amazing. She smiled tossing her sunglasses on the sofa and then dropped her handbag on the sofa as well.
The décor of her apartment was mostly all white, including the sofas and curtains. Monica likes this color. It gives her a very soothing effect.
She ran her fingers through her hair as she walked into the master bedroom. Placing her fingers under her Tee she pulled it up and tossed it on the bed. Then, she unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans and wriggled out of it. She gathered her short hair and clipped it with a clutch.
Monica tip-toed into the bathroom and plugged the bathtub, then she opened the tab and adjusted the temperature. She removed her inners and wrapped a pink towel around her naked frame. Then, she walked out of the bathroom and walked into her living room. She opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of her favorite wine and a glass.
She switched off the tap and removed her towel then she hung it and slowly sat in the tub. She shifted leaning against the tub and poured herself a glass of wine. Then she shifted immersing herself till her chest in water. Staring at the wall she took a sip of wine.
She has everything, everything she wanted but then why isn't she happy? Monica sighed and recollected her time as young care-free Monica with big dreams. Finally, she achieved everything yet there is a void. She sighed and massaged her forehead with fingers. She looked at her hand and then looked back at the wall.

After she felt relaxed she poured some bubble bath into the tub. Mindlessly, she applied soap and after a while, she picked up the hand shower and cleaned herself. Then, she unplugged the bathtub and watched the water swirl down the drain.
She stood under the shower and twisted the knob. She moved her hand and removed the clutch. She shook her head and ran her fingers through the strands before stepping into the warm water. As the water drenched her completely, she ran her palms through the wet hair. She flicked her eyes and managed to look at the marbles tiles. She recollected Eshaan's face. His indifference in these years disturbed her. She lost a good friend and now, felt lonely. Yeah, that is the reason. Like always, Monica convinced herself that Eshaan had meant nothing other than a good friend.
After she finished bathing she wrapped the towel around herself and stepped out of the bathroom. She walked up to the dressing table and took out the hairdryer. She plugged it into the socket and began drying her hair. As she dried her hair she recollected a moment from the past.
'What are you looking at?' Monica asked looking at Eshaan in the mirror. He smiled and climbed down the bed.
'Hey.' She giggled as he held her waist.
'You know,' – He leaned back and tilted his head, he looked closely at her, - 'You look so sexy in wet hair.' He leaned and kissed her cheek. Monica smiled looking at their reflection.
'But what if?' – She tilted her head and looked at him, - 'I catch a cold?' She blinked innocently at him. Eshaan smiled and moved his one hand. He pushed aside wet strands of her hair and kissed her forehead.
'No problem, sweetie. I am there to keep you warm.' He grinned at her. Monica let a small laugh and turned around.
'Very good answer, Eshaan Ranawat.' She replied cupping his face with her palms. He nodded and leaned closer. Monica smiled and tiptoed. She leaned forward and placed her lips on his. They smiled before they began to kiss.
Monica's reverie was broken when her phone rang. She flinched, and her smile faded away. She realized she had been daydreaming again. Her hold on the hair dryer had loosened. The hot air blew her face. She shook her head and switched off the hair-dryer. She placed it down on the table and picked up her phone. She sighed on seeing Ramsen's number flash on the screen. They have just landed back from Australia and she wanted to sleep and relax. She wondered if she should pick up the call. Nevertheless, she picked it up.
'Yes, Ramsen.' She replied disinterestedly.
'Hello, Maam. You wanted to know about the latest marketing team meeting. It is tomorrow by 10 in DK TV19 main office.' Ramsen informed.
'Hmm,' – Monica nodded, - 'Okay.' She said and disconnected the call. She placed the phone down and looked up at her reflection.
