Neha ran towards the phone hoping its Rahul who is calling to wish her on the birthday. She was slightly disappointed when she saw it was her friend on the phone not the love of her life. After an hour, Rahul called, she was overjoyed looking at his name and picked up the phone. They spoke for about ten minutes and there were no signs of Rahul remembering her birthday. Neha was totally disappointed. She thought he is playing a game with her; maybe he wanted to surprise her later, decided to play along with him. She checked all her emails, there was nothing from Rahul. She logged into Facebook, there were hundreds of birthday wishes but her eyes only searched for Rahul’s. She half-heartedly replied to all the messages. The only thought running in her head was how come he forgot her birthday when they just spoke about it few days ago. It was still noon; she decided to wait till the end of the day. When she went to the office, she had a surprise party arranged by her colleagues. Though she was part of the whole celebrations, her heart only craved for Rahul, she needed to hear only from him. She was alone amongst everyone. In between Rahul did call her couple of times, he had no clue on what was going on. Neha felt like screaming at him but suppressed her anger.
She kept talking in her mind about what could be the reason that he has forgotten her birthday. May be for Rahul it’s just another day but for Neha it’s a special day. Is it such a big ask? How can anyone just forget their loved ones birthday?
Every time her phone beeped she still looked for Rahul’s name. Every five minutes, she refreshed her inbox but nothing from Rahul. She lost all the hopes on Rahul and came to terms that it was not a game and he has forgotten her birthday. It was time for Neha to go home. While she was lost in her thoughts, Rahul called her again informing her that he was going out for dinner with some friend. She was in no mood to talk to him. She hung up telling that she would talk to him the next day. By now, her heart ached by Rahul’s behavior. Her day was totally ruined. Those hundreds of wishes didn’t mean anything for her, she felt stupid. She was about to breakdown; she controlled all her emotions, reached home and locked herself in the room. Her mother asked her why was she upset, she said nothing to her. She couldn’t sleep, after tossing and turning over for a long time, finally she slept. She woke up in the middle of the night, the thoughts rushed back to her, she groped for her phone. Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks!
