Kian immediately made the video call, this time she picked up the call without hesitation. Her face framed his phone, a sad but calm face. She greeted him with remarkable composure and a polite smile. He was baffled.
On close inspection, her face betrayed the pain in her heart. She neither articulated them nor did she try to hide them; after a while, her eyes looked weary and red. Apparently, they had been shedding tears all day.
His penetrating glances were torturing her. She lowered her phone and angled it towards the window.
"Don't you have anything to say or ask?" he said.
Her heart let out a gentle sigh and tears rolled down to wash her feverish cheeks. That was all that she could offer him. He had always liked graceful charm in women but even he could not have imagined such calmness in such fall!
"Victor is my sister's brother-in-law. I happened to meet him at a wedding. That's when I found out about his engagement." He spoke quietly.
