Both of them were standing at the railing  by keeping their hand on it and drinking the cappuccino. They were looking to the main road ,under the open violet sky ,it was evening.

They again talked about their busy schedules ,busy lives and so on.

“You still didn't tell me how you got my number”Asked Meghna

“I got it from your boutique manager  ,last night”He replied

She gazed at him,and after that removed her eyes and looked at the road ,she was trying her best to maintain her cool

Dharam noticed her hair became long and she now changed “You became changed ,Megh”

Meghna looked at him “You also changed Dharam “she remarked

He halved smile “yep, but you become more beautiful than before “he praised 

“I am glad you noticed me before..”

He cut her in the middle”why are you thinking so?”

“Actually I thought you were always busy in books and”she didn't complete her sentence

“And What, Megh?’’

“Nothing ,”she wanted to change the topic”What about others?”

“Yeh everything is good except one “he expressed 

“What is that?”she asked ,with puzzle expression

“Still now I am thinking if they don't meet it would better “He said by exhaling a sigh

Meghna glared at Dharam "whom are you talking about?" She asked with an questionable eyes

Someone of them asked for his autograph ,while going through the football field his eyes were eagerly waiting to see the face of someone for whom he was waiting so long,in this so many past year he had won many matches by his efforts ,he had ocean of glory ,success, everything but still there was a emptiness remained within his world ,everytime his mind asked to him the same questions “Where is she ? How is she?Did she know how difficult it was for him to stay away from her so long?

There were in the gallery so many people had come to see his match,it didn't mean that those were nothing important to him,but still he was waiting for that person ,for whom his heart was crying alone.

Suddenly the room light lit up when there was a message entered into his whatsapp .Prithvi took his phone and glanced at his whatsapp,seeing that a pretty smile spread on his face.He got a called within a fraction of second, he received the call
