It was quarter past ten now; Vansh was trying to contact Zoya while she was
busy talking to some other person. After working his fingers to the bone; finally
Zoya picked up the call.
Vansh impatiently broke the ice, ''is this Zoya?'' The person on the other side of the call replied, ''Vansh is that you?!'' Vansh asked, ''Zoya I was about to ask you this at the market that; are you still in contact with Aarohi and Kabir?'' Zoya quickly relented, ''no| I don't speak to them.''
Vansh said in a rage, ''don't lie Zoya, I know you do talk to them, and you also know their whereabouts; Zoya please it's high time now we need to sort all this out and let's just move on or else we all would never be able to meet each other again.''
Zoya shrieked, ''after what happened that day do you still believe that all this will be sorted out? We all have parted our ways now and do you still believe that Kabir would talk to Arhaan again? It's over now Vansh.''
Vansh said quelling Zoya's anger, ''See Zoya, we all just can't stay like this forever; all this mess were to be wrapped up at some or
the other point so why not today? Think once...''
The woman was now a bit calmed and serene, ''Vansh why can't you understand that things are not as simple as they are in your mind….'' Vansh continued, ''I know things are not simple but at the same time they are not as complicated; we all can talk over it once and have you talked to Kabir; until now he must have realized that it was not Arhaan.''
Zoya said, ''I don't know what have he realized or not but I just know that if your this idea of talking over things won't work then there would be nothing left with all of us except enmity towards each other.'' And suddenly she hung up.
A restless Arhaan kept on asking Vansh about their talk; as he was all ready for sorting everything out. A bewildered Vansh said, ''She is not sure that this reunion will work or not and in the beginning she relented as easily as falling off a log, but at the end I felt that she would atleast talk about this to Kabir and
Aarohi.''
...
On the contrary; Kabir went to his study room and started foraging through several files. Then he made some phone calls; and those phone calls seemed like he was confirming something. And left the study room as at the end he mailed somebody.
Then he went to his bedroom and called on a number which he had saved a while ago in his phone with the name Blade and said, ''I have mailed you; make sure.'' The person on the other side of the call didn't even replied and hung up.
(Blade meant Blaise detective; he saved it as Blade if just in case somebody peeps into his phone)
With a sign of repose on his face, Kabir went to his closet and grabbed a pair of some cozy clothes that was a t-shirt and PJ's. Preceding towards the bathroom for a shower he suddenly noticed a tattoo on his collarbone while looking into the mirror. He felt nostalgic and a vibe of remorse surrounded the man.
He was regretting on what he had lost. (What is it that Kabir have lost? He have everything, whatever he wanted he can buy hundreds of that thing....But what is it that he can't buy and is surrounded by some kind of guilt due to it?)
He tried a lot not to recall the past but some or the other reason would deliberately put his past in front of him. Vansh was right; in these three years Kabir have realized that he was wrong blaming Arhaan but he was feeling low that pulled him back talking to Arhaan.
...
All of a sudden even Zoya felt wistful after talking to Vansh. She never knew that she would ever meet any of them in person again but all out of blue Vansh met her at the market. It was just a meet of a minute or two wherein they just waved a hi and exchanged their numbers as if they were just acquaintances; as they felt a bit weird meeting each other after years. But all of a sudden Vansh's call just quivered Zoya. She never wanted to meet anyone of them again. She was trying to forget the past.
(Why does Zoya don't want to meet anyone? Though she is not even in a fight with anyone among her friends? Is she hiding something? Or is she connected with what is happening with Arhaan?)
And Zoya didn't lie to Vansh that she doesn't talk to Kabir and Aarohi. Although she is having their phone numbers but she hasn't talked to them since three years!!!
