chapter TWO

Lina woke up to the incessant ring of her cell. She stared at the glowing display...Mohit. She looked back at the clock by her bed - 2:00 a.m!

This was the most disconcerting part of her relationships- breaking-up, and though she should have got used to this by now, it was difficult..really difficult.

What could she say to Mohit? He was a perfect gentleman, a dashing boy with a heart of gold and of course she never doubted his genuine love for her...everything was so very right about him. Yet, that was the problem - everything was just too perfect, and try as she might she could never let go of her inclination towards a fatality in love - the romeo+juliet kind.

Love without barriers just held no meaning for her and she just couldn't carry forward the relationship.
"Now how am I supposed to make Mohit understand all that? Hell! Sometime even I don't understand myself!", thought Lina.

The cell started ringing again. Lina turned over, covered her ears with the pillows and decided to miss the call.

"try it and then tell me. now bug me no more. bye"

Tuhin lay thinking for a while. "What the hell!", he thought and he keyed in the three words and sent off the sms to Vrajesh's erstwhile number. "What a way to start a relationship...if at all!"
