It was midnight here and when sleep was about to enclose me, I was waken by the loud ringtone of my mobile. Whenever my phone rings at night I am always reminded of her and this time was not an exception to that thought. The answer for that thought was also same everytime. After that stupid,insane act of mine I lost her. I never thought that I will lose her, but I have hurted her a lot and in the end I am the lonely one, in a lonely night always thinking about her. 'Will she ever think about me or would she have moved on with her life?' Thought Suriya Prakash before checking who have woken him up in this time of night. The bright light made his vision blurry in the dark background of his room. After his vision got adjusted to the light, the caller Id flashed his sister's name-Sujatha- in the missed call list. He looked at the time and it was 12.30AM in his place. Since he was now in Singapore, he thought it would be around 11PM in India. He called back and his sister picked up the call "hello"
"hey sister, how are you? Why calling at this time? Any problem?" Enquired Suriya with an edge of concern in his voice.
Sujatha: "nothing brother. It may be your niece. I did not call you"
He let out a sigh of relief and enquired about his family members health and finished the call. Later when sleep went away leaving him alone, he went back to his memories about why he is single at present.

That day she did not attend the call in a single ring, which she does only when she wants to hide something from me. But she finally attended the call before I could cut and call her again. "Hello" her voice was troubled.
Her voice told me that something was wrong and I wondered what it could be. So I asked her without hiding all the irritation caused by her attitude from morning "where are you?"
Knowing my irritation she spoke in a calm voice "at cinema hall only"
Her replies were short and that made me more angry. "Who are all with you?" The pause that she gave made me suspicious. Surely she was hiding something from me. After few seconds of pause she replied "me,Abarna, Vasanthi, Farah, Reshma and Abarna's boyfriend Nakul". When I heard that name I did not know what I was doing. I shouted at her: "why the hell is he there? You lied to me. You already knew that he was coming. Right? You are such a cheat. You have cheated me."
Since I was in my native,I was not able to go there and beat that fellow and drag Anjana out of that place.
She replied, now with less noise around her, may be she went away from her friends and spoke in a way which only exposed parts of her anger, "listen Suriya.. I did not lie to you, nor did I know that he was coming. I confirmed for umpteenth time that Nakul was not joining the party. He came unannounced. And I am not a cheater. Don't dare call me cheater"
She made more angry and I asked her to go back to college or else I will tell to her mother about this secret outing of hers without her mother's knowledge. Everytime I used to threaten her like that and she used to obey me after my so called threatening. But this time my threatening did not work and she told me to do whatever I wish and that made me more angry and I cut her call abruptly and made the worst mistake in my life.
I had her mom's number long back and this was the first time I am using it. I called her mother. Once she picked up the call I started talking without allowing her to speak "hello madam. I guess you are Anjana's mother. Just hear me out and don't ask anything else. Your daughter Anjana is now out with her friends. And that friends include boys. She is going out with boys and becoming characterless. She has even gone out with me. Just informing you madam"
The call lasted for 30 seconds and I cut the call immediately before the person in the other end could talk.
