The call

In the farewell

Manan! I yelled and he looked back

"Have you seen Sakshi?"

I asked Manan.He just shrugged and said,

"It’s you who usually knows about her."

I didn’t know why, but I was getting worried. As the time was passing my paitience level was over.

Almost everyone was here  except her.

Sakshi never shows up late. She’s the kind of person who arrives even before time.

I kept checking my phone again and again. No texts. No calls. Nothing. Just the text of yesterday a pic which has send me

(It was the sandwich she had made. )

That’s when I saw Riya. She was standing in the corner with her friends clicking pictures , and I ran toward her, hoping she would say something about sakhi.

"Riya! Have you seen Sakshi?"

She looked surprised.

Before she could answer, Janhvi walked over, smiling like everything was normal.

"Dev, you’re looking nice today," she teased.

I didn’t even smile.

"Where’s Sakshi?"

I asked again, louder this time.

"I don’t know," Riya replied, shaking her head.

"She hasn’t texted me either."

I felt my chest tighten id riya doesn't know then who on earth knows about her .

What if something was wrong?

I raised my voice again,

"How can nobody know where she is? She’s never like this!"

"Relax, Dev," Janhvi laughed.

"You’re acting like you're married to her or something."

My face probably said it all.

Riya’s expression changed.

"You okay?" she asked.

I didn’t answer.

Suddenly, I feel a little vibration the call has finally answered sakshi has picked up the call time started 3 second I heard a voice. Hello!

I froze for a second.

My fingers are trembling as I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I said quickly.

But the voice I heard was different.

It wasn’t Sakshi. It was a lady.

A calm, official tone.

She spoke from the other side,

"This is the reception of \=\=\=\=\=. This girl has had an accident. Do you know her? Please inform her family and tell them to come here quickly."

My whole body went cold.

An accident? Sakshi?!

No. No. This can’t be happening.

Not today. Not on the day of our farewell. It's little too much for me I have talked to her accident my brain was in fear of losing her.

Just hearing those words made me tremble.

"Sakshi... had an accident?"

And nobody knew.

Nobody knew anything.

How?! How can this happen? With her? With her!"

I could hear people talking in the background.

Then again the voice,

"Hello? Can you inform her family?"

I somehow managed to ask, my voice shaking,

"Is she alright?"

The woman on the phone sighed.

"She had an accident. How can she be alright? Just inform her family,"

And then she hung up.

I just stood there.

Frozen.

Phone in hand.

My world suddenly too quiet… too loud… all at once.
