Chapter 5

Anjali was in Delhi. As successful as ever, now with ideas of doing a PhD in MIT. She had been offered that, without even applying. It had been one of the most wonderful phases of her life. She had definitely walked out of the Vinay phase. She felt sad for Rahul in her hearts of hearts, he had been so nice to her after all. But she had an ego problem. She was not ready to apologize and settle things. She wanted him to come and do the needful for the friendship to live on. He didn’t seem to be doing anything. She had sent two mails, but she hadn’t gotten replies for them. He just didn’t seem to care much about her any more. Then why did she alone have to care about him?

Around a couple of days back, Vinay had made a surprise call. He said he was coming to Delhi to attend a camp. He also told her that Rahul had run over his leg and made him one-legged, just to extract revenge. This egged her to furiousness. She hated to hear that Rahul had done something as terrible as that. She now had lost even the little space she had for Rahul within herself. Now, Vinay had come to Delhi, and she wanted to soothe him and his bitterness for have become victim to such a painful incident. So, she accepted Vinay’s offer and decided to go and meet him. Before that, she had one work. She had to find out who was responsible for her MIT scholarship. So, she sat googling the address from which her MIT application had gone.
