Today's conversation with Gavin reminds Ariana about the conversation she had with him for the first time over the voice chat. She is laying calmly on her bed and her lips are curved up forming a sweet smile on her face. It seems like the void in her heart is finally filled with love and affection. She closes her eyes.
A year ago, when Ariana added Gavin on her gamer's chat application as her friend. During her way to the workplace, she decided to call him. Ariana typed a message," Good Morning!" Then she paused for a couple of seconds and sent it. After that she typed a message again, "Can I call you?" As soon as she sent the message. She received a call from Gavin. Her hesitation immediately turned into happiness. She picked up the call without any second thought. They both talked for an hour about their life and share their experiences with eachother.
Days passed. They became close to eachother. Calling eachother, listening music together and little fights had become a part of their daily routine. They had become best friends. It was only a month but it felt that they have known eachother from ages. They haven't shared their numbers or added eachother on social medias, they usually chat or talk with eachother on gamer's chat app either the Battle Royale Game.
Ariana called Gavin as usual, but he didn't pick the call. She thought that he might be busy with his work. Ariana was feeling little uneasy that day. She waited for sometime, however he neither called her nor replies to her messages. Tears started following through her eyes. Her mind was filled with all the negative possibilities behind his ignorance, "Is he ignoring me? Or something has happened him?" Ariana shooked her head, " He might be busy with work. But why is he not replying me?" She tried to calm herself down but everything went into vain.
"Why are you not replying to me? if I did something wrong please forgive me.. I am extremely sorry. Don't ignore me like this. Please talk to me.", Ariana's hands trembled, as she typed the message. Her vision was blurred with vision. She was sitting in her cabin and bitterly crying while holding her phone.
Suddenly her phone rang. It was a voice chat from Gavin. She immediately picked up the call. Her voice trembling because she had cried for a long time. She tried to speak but words resisted to leave her mouth. Gavin immediately understood that she was crying. He worriedly asked, " Ariana! What happened? Why are you crying? Did anything happened? Say something!". Ariana spoke while holding her tears back, " Why did you ignore me? I was scared to death." "I didn't ignore you. I was busy in work.", Gavin replied with soft voice. He really seemed apologizing in his tone. " I really didn't ignore you. Please forgive me and don't cry like this.", he added further. "I'm not crying.",Ariana tried to deny. Gavin smiled slightly, "Huh? Really? I can hear it from your voice, dumbo! You are crying just because I don't pick you call?" Ariana became speechless.
Indeed, he was ignoring her. He didn't want to make it his habit. Talking to her on phone everyday had been becoming a habit for him. So, he decided to ignore her calls. Nevertheless, her crying halted him to do so. He melted after seeing her tears, as he didn't want to hurt her or let her cry because of him. He successfully convinced Ariana and promised her not to repeat it again. Even would be busy, he would message her, so she won't feel worried or sad.
Both of them started liking eachother. Ariana was unaware of this fact, since she had never experienced those feelings before. However Gavin was well known aware about it. Thus, he wanted to back off, however in front of Ariana's eyes he had to continue his interaction with her. He was slowly falling in love with her.
Chapter is quite short. Hope you guys like it.
