A Right Turn

2.

"Hi di, aap free ho?" Kavya greeted Swara.

"Han Kavya, bolo. Abhi phone kiya tumne. Sab thik toh hai na?" Swara asked from the other side.

"Di aapse akele main baat karni thi, issi liye abhi phone kiya. Aap abhi akele ho kya?"

"Han kavi bol. Tum mujhe abhi dara rahi ho. Sab thik toh hai na?" Swara asked again, sensing distress in Kavya's voice.

"Kuch thik nahi hai di. Baat ab haath se bahar ja chuki hai." Kavya complained. She explained the incidents of the past few days. "Di, ek baat puchu? Aapko pata hai kya ki dida aur dadi ke bich kya hua tha?"

"Woh humari kuch nahi lagti. Woh sirf uss Ragini ki dadi hain aur humari padosi. Gairon se rishte jodne ki koi jarurat nahi hai." Sware replied, angrily.

"Dida se main baat karungi, tumhe ussme padne ki koi zarurat nahi." Swara added and cut the call. Without giving Kavya to put forth her point. Her anger could clearly be heard but also her frustration and what some may term as hurt. This behavior of Swara added more fuel to Kavya's curiosity and she became more determined to find out the truth, even if she has to talk Ragini into helping her.
