He deserved it though. He can't make up for two years in just twenty minutes.

I sat there as I watched her leave.
Tears brimmed in my eyes.
I was crying.
It was shocking, even to me.

"Advik" I sniffled, " I messed up, I messed up real bad this time. "
"What happened ? Kabir ? Kabir, where are you right now ? What do you mean messed up ? " This time it was Vipin on the phone. I forgot he was visiting today.
