Meeting

"Some desires end with time." Elva spoke looking out is the window.

It's Monsoon.

Elva stood up and walk to the refrigerator. Took out a bottle of red wine and gulped a few times. It tasted sweet. She wanted to taste bitter though.

Her long white night dress dragged behind her as she slowly stepped on the sofa. She curled up, drank the wine, and watched the news.

"The rain is expected to be over in a day of time. In such periods citizens are said to stay indoors...."

Elva felt dizzy and slowly placed the wine bottle in the glass table before her. She sighed again and again. Her phone lit up and rang at that time.

She glanced at it once. It is the manager of the company she works in. She can guess the reason of her phone call, so she didn't pick up.

The cute cellphone ranged again a few times. It fell silent for a bit, and soon few messages came. After that everything fell silent. The room appeared cold and unfeeling.

Elva looked around, her eyes soulless. As if trying to see something, but she couldn't. She grabbed her brown blanket wobbly and covered herself. Her breathing even out, and she fell asleep on the couch.

The next day. When she woke up, it was still raining.

The whole room was death except for the news still playing on the screen. She frowned and felt the headache. Her calm eyes were confused, and she remembered that she drank wine last night.

She sighed and got freshen up. Made breakfast for herself and cleaned the room afterwards. A bit of relief washed over her after she was done with the chores. The phone lit up several times in between though.

When she was finally done and sat down it was already past lunch. She grabbed her phone for the first time today. Their came a bunch of messages. The manager telling her about the new project. It is dealt by Jasmine since Elva was absent. Elva just glanced at it and looked at others.

She saw her doctor's message with medical receipt file. He messaged, "Elva, I have sent the medical report. Just do attend the session in time."

She typed back, "Thank you doctor. I will."

After looking at the file she changed the news channel. The weather report is good for successive days. Nothing major seems to have happen.

Elva turned off the TV and went to her bedroom. Cleaned every corner of the room. She packed all her luggage and called her friend.

"Hello, Rene."

"Hello! Elva! How are your doing??!" An excited voice rush through the phone call.

Elva was a bit stunned. She took a moment and replied, "I'm fine and what about you?"

"I'm super fine. And I'm waiting for you to come here!!!"

Elva smiled, "I will return tomorrow afternoon."

Rene was stunned, "Are you sure? Really!!"

"Yeah." Elva replied.

Rene laughed, "I will come to pick you up from the airport. Don't go back on your words."

"I won't. Don't worry."

"How can I not? You were so determined to stay there. What if you suddenly changed your mind again??"

Elva sighed and said, "Rene, I have a session with Doctor Karl."

Rene calmed down instantly, "Did he said that you need another surgery??"

Elva shook her head, "No. Just a check up. But I will resign here and come to city X for new job. Doctor James has already issued a medical report for me."

Rene encouraged her, "That's right my girl! Just leave those heartless beings and come here to me! I will show you the life you can live!"

"You want to pollute my mind." Elva said blankly.

"Don't talk as if you are any saint." Rene retorted.

"I'm very simple and pure lady, Rene." Elva laughed lightly.

"Haha, who says, just look! Weren't you being the one who used to think all dirty when we were at our college time??!" Rene's voice raised passionately.

Elva felt embarrassed for a moment, "Aye, those were just immature act. It doesn't count."

"Damn, Elva you haven't changed!" Rene roared like. Small cat. Angry but still adorable.

"Neither did you."

"Okay I lost. I will treat you a delicious meal once you reach here. I will be waiting for you!!"

"Alright. It's been a long time since I have tasted your food." Elva reminisced.

Rene replied instantly, "I always ask you to come but you won't. But let's meet tomorrow at morning. You will taste my handmade special food if you come sooner."

"Okay, I will."

"Yeah bye, we will meet soon."

"Yeah."

The call ended. But Elva still had a smile on her face. She really is happy to have such a friend. Rene is one of the best friends she has since college times. Her innocence, positivity, and all excited personality makes Elva feel the thrill of life. The life doesn't seem unbearable like it did before.

The moment is a bit beautiful now.

We became friends at first year of our college. It was sunny and beautiful day of course for others. But I was listless and exhausted the moment I stepped into our college gate. I was always insecure and dull person.

Even though boring, it wasn't bad. But it did help me meet new people. New friends who are simple but crazy.

It never crossed me, that three years of the college will pass in a blink of an eye. Like it happened in a flash. I missed it. But more importantly, I missed my girls. The friends who made me laugh and be happy during confused period of my life.

Rene is one of them. I wonder how others are though. I hope fine. We haven't met each other for so long. Since that day, after our last examination day, we haven't met. I really miss them.

The sun is shining too bright today. Maybe this is a sign of meeting this time. Elva smiled awkwardly at her thoughts.
