Friends

Meenakshi tried to call Sakshi, but all calls went answered by the latter.

"Pick up the phone, Sakshi!"

Meenakshi roamed around her room, tension catching her head as last night changed a lot of things. Her dad was behaving weirdly, Ryan sounded depressed and now Sakshi wasn't answering any of her calls. What was happening?

She headed for a shower, throwing the phone on the bed.

The warm water relaxed her nerves a bit, but it wasn't enough. She dressed herself in her formal attire and tied her hair in a messy bun. As soon as she reached the dining hall, she saw Anirudh sipping his morning tea looking at the window. It was strange. Strange because he always used to read a newspaper or watch tv while doing his morning courses.

"Dad, I am leaving for office."

Anirudh looked lost in his thoughts, staring at nothing specific. He didn't respond to her.

"Dad?"

He shifted his gaze towards Meenakshi who looked confused with his actions.
