I sigh,laying in bed, clutching on to my pillow.
I pout involuntarily,my mind going back to a part of the conversation I had a while ago.
"Hey Sandy. I'm so Sorry,I won't be able to make it today. I'm covering for a colleague of mine. Slipped my mind yesterday when you had asked."
I frown, placing the pillow over my head,lying on my stomach.
It sucks to be on the receiving end of dismissal.
Although Nikhil's reason was valid.
And the fact that Anshu and I haven't spoken all day is getting to me.

Things wereextremelydifferent from what I had anticipated.The day Nikhil had accompanied me to the hospital, thirty six hours ago,claiming he had somework,but actually turned out he wanted to give me company as he stayed with me for the majority of time I'd 'hosted' Niranjan uncle and Akhil, quietly monitoring as I let radiologists do their work.My heart felt oddly hopeful when he had even dropped me back at the hostel, giving me only an extremely heated look that had me blushing when I asked him why he had accompanied me.I had thought things had magically fallen into place.I expected us to be awkward for another day or two,and then kiss,and make up,literally.
