6 It seems? (1/2)
”Hello”
On saying that word, her heart was filled with lots of emotions. Its been years since the last time she talked to her mother. To her surprise the voice she heard was not her mother.
”Rianna?....
It is dad”, She pinned her mouth. She was shocked by these sudden words. Her father was furious at her and she never thought he would take the initiative to talk to her. She was also angry at her father. She replied, ”Mmmmm”
On hearing her response the lips of the old man curled up fora second, without delay he said, ”Don't cut the call. I'm really sorry for what I said and what I did. Come back my dear. Please” His words showed his worn out voice. Ria felt pain in her heart but she can't go back no matter what.
The moment she left India, she said to herself whatever might happen this will be the last time she resides their. She was hurt deeply during that time. She replied coldly, ”If there is nothing else, goodbye..” Before she could hung up the old man hurried his words, ”Wait! Your mother had an heart attack yesterday. Doctor said that she is physical weak and mentally depressed.
She keeps asking for you since the moment she opened her eyes. I can maintain her physical strength but only you can fix her mental strength. Understand dear.” Ria couldn't hear her brave father pleading to her like this. The thought that she is responsible for her mother's sickness hit her hard. Her eyes soon became watery. Ria is a sensitive and childish girls within a brave and cold shell.
She replied, ”Give the phone to Lucy.” The old man shouted the name of lucy which was audible to her through phone. Lucy was her younger sister who is a pure yet naughty girl. Lucy talked in the phone, ”Sister? Rianna?.... How are you Rianna? Are you fine? You haven't talked to me in three years. Answer me!” Ria smiled a little hearing her sister's voice.
”I'm fine. What about mom?” Lucy replied, ”She out of danger for now. She always thinks about you. She works hard at office and worried about you too. She always talks about you, what are you doing right now? where are you right now? did you eat? did you sleep etc., etc. Come home Rianna....
Even..... Ren's brother calls me regularly to ask about you. Have you said anything? How are you? Is your health fine. Looks like Brother-in-law told him to ask me. He still loves you as he always did Rianna. Give him a chance.”
On hearing no response on the other side, Lucy continued, ”Come home Rianna. Parents will accept you guys now. He is a big company's CEO now. He has achieved a lot now. I will talk to him, Please come back.” Ria became unstable on hearing Lucy's words her tone became more cold, ”I didn't pick the call to hear about him Lucy. Just tell me about mom.”
