The Phone Calls

Nivritti sighed and finally opened her main door. Today was a whirlwind for her. First, the amusement park fiasco and then the urgent meeting. She didn't have time to properly sit down and eat. She didn't even finish her noodles as she didn't like that she was eating alone.

She first changed her dress and felt sad because she lost her overcoat today. She freshened up and ordered food for herself. She was so tired that she didn't even want to cook. Yawning she sat down on her couch and let her head fall on the headrest. She knew Jae-Hwa would call her soon and she was ready for it.

But before Jae-Hwa could call, Nivritti thought of talking to her family. She dialled her mother's number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hi, Mom!" she greeted.

"How are you? Are you eating well? You sound tired," her mother started raining questions.

"Mom, chill. I am fine. Just had a busy day," said Nivritti.

"Busy day? It's Saturday," Sheela shouted.
