After 💫 [Completed]

Affliction 💫

Riya's viewpoint :

"It's about Samikhya.." Ishan described.

"What happened Ishan? You sound sad." I answered.

"She's not answering my calls and texts since yesterday, her phone is switched off. I thought maybe you know something." He explained.

I was busy in attending the engagement ceremony yesterday and today, I was spending time with Abhay so I haven't talked to Samikhya in these two days.

She's always available on calls and barely switches off her phone, never for so long I guess. Is she in some sort of trouble.

"Don't worry Ishan, main try karti hu contact karne ki." I assured him.

"Thanks Riya. Please inform me agar kuch pata chale." He responded.

"Of course Ishan." I reassured him.

"What happened?" Abhay asked me after I hung up the call.

I described about Samikhya not answering calls and Ishan being tensed over it. Abhay asked me to try calling her so I did, but in vain. Her phone is still switched off.

I called her mother's number after that but she didn't answer so I tried calling her brother. Thankfully I've their numbers saved with me cause Samikhya and I have been long term friends now.

"Hey Riya." He finally answered after a few rings and I sighed in relief.

Thankfully I can talk to Samikhya now.

"Hey, Samikhya kahan hai? Uska phone switched off hai kal se." I said hastily.

"She must be in her room, wait main baat karwata hu." He replied and I waited until the phone was handed over to Samikhya.

"Samikhya, are you fine?" I asked her in concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine Riya." She replied weakly.

"You don't sound well." I said.

"But I'm fine, don't worry." She tried convincing me but I felt as if she's lying.

"What's wrong Samikhya? Tumhara mobile kyu switched off hai?" I asked in a serious voice.

"Woh actually.. my phone broke." She answered.

"Aur thodi family problems chal rahi hai abhi." She added in a sad tone.

"Ohh." I said understandably. Maybe that's the reason she's sounding upset.

"Mera phone theek ho jaayega toh main baat karlungi, tab tak shayad contact na kar paaun." Samikhya told.

"Yeah of course, I understand. Tum apna khayal rakhna and I hope jo bhi problem hai woh jaldi theek ho jaaye." I wished.

"Thank you Riya." She said, sounding teary.

"By the way, Ishan tumhare baare mein pooch raha tha. Woh tense ho gaya tha kyuki tum calls answer nahi kar rahi." I informed her.

"You there?" I asked after a few seconds since she didn't reply.

"Yeah, tell him I'm okay." She answered weakly again.
