The last day

"Where have you been Nuri"? said her mother

" I told you about the vacation, we'll be leaving for our university in the evening"

"But no calls at all, what is wrong with you these days, you were never the going on the trips and now you're just loitering around the state"

"But mumma I am with my friends"

"Which friends, I always taunted you for not making friends and I think I am fed up with your silly friends, I shouldn't have permitted you to apply abroad at first"

"Mumma, you're just exaggerating the matter for no reason"

"I always considered Amit as a son, but you, I don't know what have you said to him"

"He'll always be your son, mumma"

"I don't think so, he has stopped visiting us since one month, I met him yesterday at the store and the reason he gave me was his busy schedule and exams, he has never done this before dear, he has never ever skipped the daily visits inspite of you being away from home"

"He must be busy mumma"

"No, he's not... Ariket visits him daily and stays there for about 2 hours... I an sure you've done something"

"But mumma"

"No buts and ifs, talk to your father now"

"How are you my Noor"

"I am good Papa, atleast someone's there back at the home stressing about my health and well being"

"Dear, your mother's just stressed about you nothing else"

"About me Or Amit, it seems like she has forgotten about having a daughter"

"No dear, Amit does seem right.... he doesn't really visit us from past one month, is everything alright between you two"

"Papa he doesn't respond to my texts or call either, I don't know what's wrong with him... he was not so possessive of me"

"I don't know whether this should be a father-daughter talk but in my opinion, he always considered you more than a friend, I don't know the chances of this being true but it was always a affection in his eyes.... and on the true side, we always considered him more than a son"

"You never told me that"

"I never had a chance too, I was always awkward to talk to about these matters"

"My life's really getting complicated papa, I want to return home"

"We can't afford that Nuri"

"I know, but I'll try my best to visit home during the senses break"

"As you wish.... by the way how're the people around you.... Adrick, Jia and what was that other girl"?

" Ana, she's Adrick's sister...All are doing well papa...by the way I'll be returning tonight and probably will reach late in the morning"

"Yeah, come back safely"

"Okay, you take care of yourself and Mumma too, she's been watching a lot of tv serials now"

They both had a hearty laugh.

"Okay take care, and do try to talk to Amit, he's missing you"

"Sure"!

" Are you done talking Nuri"?

"Yeah"

"I have a great news! exclaimed Ana

" What"?

"There's a couple dance in the late afternoon, specially created for young couples"

"So"?

" So, you and Adrick have to perform there "

"No, Ana please no, I can't do that"

"You can, trust me"

"But what about the dresses"

"I have already arranged that"

"Ana, please don't spend like an idiot, you're not the richest person on earth"

"Anything for you Nuri"

"I don't deserve this love Ana, please"

"Now, don't be an emotional fool"

"Okay"

"Now, go and join the final rehearsals, I know you will find it easy, go, go fast"

"Okay, thank you"

"You're always welcome".....
