"Ahh... I m..mean Bondita didi , my ex boudi" , she replied nervously.

"Ex boudi ? ", I asked again , sternly

"Leave it dada ", she said making me frown.

"How could you...." , I started

"Is that so ? , Where did you guys meet? ", My mother intrrupted hurriedly , saving sonali from hearing another lecture.

"She was also there to select a gift for her mom .........' ,she said and started explaining , how her day was.

I brought my focus once again to my plate , but i wasn't able to eat anymore.
How could I eat after hurting her.

Slowly , i came back to my room without their notice and started going through the case file to divert my mind .

After sometime, i opened my WhatsApp to ask sandya and vikram about the updates regarding the case but i found Bondita typing something.

Her chat was exactly the fourth recent chat in my contact list , as i had recently sent her a message informing that this was my number and if she wants any help in vinisha's case , she could call or message me immediately.

Barely after i noticed this , she went offline.

Did she go offline seeing me come online?

Nevertheless, ignoring my thoughts i called her .

Bondita's pov,

Argh... I warned you not to message him right ? , See now he has called you , s...so is that mean that he had seen you typing

Oh god Bondita ! , You are ridiculous

I took a deep breath before answering his call.

"Hello..", i said

"Bondita?", He asked

"Yes sir ", i answered

"Haan , yes Bondita , tell me what happened ?"

"Wh..what happened?" , i mummbled, "sir... You have called me , i didn't "., I replied

"But you were the one to message....i mean wanted to message me and then backed off , right ?" , He replied making feel embarassed

"Sir....," I said without knowing what to say further

"It's ok Bondita ", he chuckled , "atleast tell me now with hesitating" , he added.

"Sir... My locket ...."?

"Oh , i am sorry , mmm... If you don't mind could you get it from me tomorrow?"

"Ok sir"

"Then come to my office by ......"

"Office? ", i asked as all the memories of the previous day replayed in my mind once again.

"Yes ", he said

"But sir...." , I hesitated

"Don't worry yaar , i won't put you behind the bars if you come to my office" , he said understanding my plight making me chuckle

"Timing?", i asked

"Mm... Can I message you later" , he asked

"Fine sir ", i replied

As always , an inevitable silence prevailed. But neither of us want to break it or cut the call . We just remained in the call hearing each other's breathe.

"Mmm...sir did aunty....i mean...did your mom like the gift" , i asked breaking the silence

"Which gift?"
