Madhav waited impatiently outside Phoenix mills. He was pacing up and down restlessly, glancing at his cell phone each passing second. He tried calling her cell phone, but his call went unanswered. “Will she show up at all?” he began to think. After all, they had met just once, and after that it had just been online conversations. He just took a chance when he expressed his desire to give her a treat on his birthday. He was exalted when she had agreed, but now, he felt she had just been humouring him.
He had almost made up his mind to leave when his cell phone buzzed. It was Anupama. He answered within milliseconds of the buzz. “Where are you?” he almost yelled into the phone. He then realised he has to play it cool and not seem desperate. He softened his tone and said “I mean, are you at home or are you out?” She said “hello, we were supposed to meet right? So how can I be at home? I am outside Phoenix mills.” When Madhav asked her why she hadn’t answered his calls she blurted out something about a problem with her SIM card, but he wasn’t listening. He was just happy that she had kept her word, though an hour late. He was sure she would have an explanation. He started walking towards High-Street Phoenix where she said she was waiting.
