HOW TO NAME IT?

PART 4 - Long Drive

Geet and Rabecca hugged eachother... "Will really miss you Geet. Thank you so much for being with me all the time...from the time you have moved to France till today...Geet's eyes lined up with tears...Please stay in touch ok??" she quickly wipes off her tears before breking the hug...

She is not getting right words due to emotions...she manages to say a "Hmm.."and bids Rabecca a good bye and immediately after their car leaves, Geet moves to the washroom to cry herself out and wash her teary eyes.

She gets out of washroom and gets call from Ria...

G: Ria...How are you bacha?

Ria: I am fine Dhi

(Note: Elder sister or a girl/woman who is quite elder to you is generally addressed as Didi or Dhi.. by north indians. )

As usual she doesnt sound fine to Geet.

G: While leaving from home during morning you said you will be back within an hour...what happened my dear? Sab teek hain na?

Ria: Dont worry about me...I am fine. I have just reached home. She is talking like a robot..emotionless and as if nothing happened.

G: Rabecca was eagerly looking out for you.

Ria: Please give her the phone

G: I just bid her a goodbye. She is off on Honey Moon Now

Ria: Teek hain Dhi...I just couldnt help it.

G: Ok..also, please call your mom..or atleast send her a message. I told her that you are busy with a combined project with your friends..

Ria: Dont worry...I will take care.. again a repetitive and careless answer.

G: Ria..tell me what's going on?...you were never like this. Sooo careless about people around you.

Ria: Dhi...What do you mean, I went out today and it got delayed what shall I do? Didnt do anything out of purpose..And my mom has no work she keeps calling me for no reason and when I dont answer, she calls you..

G: She is your mom..please dont tell like that. We can understand what goes on in a mother's mind when we ourselves become one. So, understand her POV and pls call her OK??

There's a pin drop silence from her end.

G: Teek hain Ria..tum gussa math ho..relax. I will be home may be in 3 hours. I have my keys with me. Did you eat anything? Shall I buy you something for you to munch on my way home?

Ria: No need ...she again answered bluntly (Actually she didnt and doesnt want to have)

G: Sure?

Ria: Sure Dhi

Geet verywell knows Ria...She might have not have anything and she cannot stay hungry for long but for now, she left it just like that as she doesnt want to force her when she is having a mindset like this.

G: OK Bacha..Good Night...Please sleep on time ok?

Ria: Hmm.. and she cuts the call.

G ST: Thank god atleast she called me back to say that she has reached home safely. Now, her mind is restless again..where is Maan? Seems he left already? Oh..couldnt even tell him a bye...

She is leaving from there slowly walking and still looking around... and no body seems to be around and just then, someone comes out of blue and blocks her way...she gets scared and closes her eyes...
