Raina was tensed on not having any reply from him.

Raina: Udayan always picks up my calls. What is the matter with him? Have I done something wrong? What have I done? Udayan please phone pick kar lo. I am sorry.

---------------------------------------------------------
"All right, now I need some answers. What the hell is going on with Udayan? And the best one for this will be.... Mishti."

Raina called Mishti and she picked up after four rings.

Mishti: Hi Raina, I was missing you. Sahi time par call kia hai tumne. Aur bata?

Raina: Hmm... Hi. Sab badhiya. I wanted to ask you about something.

Mishti: Continue.

Raina: What is going on with Udayan?
Why is he avoiding me?

Mishti: Aa... Umm... Vo.... He must be in the.... Washroom? I have some work. Talk to you later. Bye.

Before Raina could say anything Mishti hung up the phone. Raina was confused, later she decided to send a text to Udayan that she reached safely.

You have a new message!!

Udayan looked at his phone.

Raina sent you a message.

Should I read it and respond to it? No... Be strong... Ok maybe just read it. Yes that doesn't counts anyway. Right?

He read her message.

Raina: Udayan what is the matter with you? Why are you avoiding me? I know you very well. Have I done something? Call me if you can.

Raina: Ok if you don't want to talk. Nevermind. Just to tell you that I reached safely. And I miss you guys.😊

Udayan let out a loud sigh and laid back on his bed. He closed his eyes.

Raina, I love you. You haven't done anything wrong. I... I can't face you. I know I am being a coward but that is for our own good.

He tried to delete the chat history of Raina but couldn't bring himself to it. He re-read all the messages.
Even the small good morning texts from her made him smile. He chuckled reading the chat where he had asked her to send him a voice note but she had denied saying her recorded voice sounded too bad.

How he regretted not being able to tell her that it was her voice that made him get through a lot.

He stared at her WhatsApp profile picture for a long time.

Tum kuch nahin janti Raina. I miss you too.

He missed her voice, her cheerful, addicting laughter. He wanted to call her but no.

No Udayan, you can't. No. Not at all.
