She stared at the inanimate object for a long time. It reminded her of the fun times she had back then. She picked up her phone and scrolled through the contact list stopping over his number. She hesitated before hitting the call button but finally did it. He received the call in 4^th ring.

"Hey. Long time."

"Hey Rey. Hope am not disturbing u."

"Oh shut up. U can call me any time Crystal."

Rey chided her. He was happy she called as he got a break from his workload.

"So whats up. Missing me?"

"Umm.. yes.. Actually I was feeling quite lonely. So…"

"Hey y such a sad voice?"

"Its nothing. Its just that… that my parents and Sam all are out of town and I am here. Its such a beautiful weather outside and I am alone. I don't like this lonely feeling which sometimes creeps into me. I miss being around u at these times."

Kria said with a deep breath. She had been uneasy the whole time and finally she let it go.

"So… lets have a coffee together. U get ur cup and I get mine and we can talk over the phone."

Kria laughed over the crazy idea but agreed. Both of them talked for a long time on the phone discussing anything and everything. Soon it became a habit of theirs. They would talk like this for long hours discussing their days and their problems. They enjoyed their time a lot.

"Hey Crys. Where r u now?"

Rey inquired as Kria picked up the call.

"At home. Why so?"

"U going anywhere anytime soon?"

"Not that I know of. But y what happened?"

"Tell me ur address."

"Reyansh Singhania will u stop backfiring questions and give a straight answers to mine?"

Kria spoke irritated.

"I will. In some time. I promise. Now will u please tell me ur address?"

"Y u want my address?"

"Cause I want to send u a gift. Happy. Now will u please give me."

"U don't need to send me any gift. It isn't necessary. U know…"

But Rey cut her in b/w and said.

"Nobody asked ur opinion. Just give ur address now. Or else I won't talk to u."

Rey said making a face.

"Hold on. I am giving. Y u have to make such an issue of it."

She dictated her address.

"Now will u seriously…."

"Okay bye. Will call u later."

"But…"

Rey cut the call before she could speak further.

"Idiot. I mean what was that. He has seriously lost it."
