I Hate you (4)

"I might get late, don't wait for me. Prenika XOXO". Niharika read out loud for Sonali from the sticky note i left behind on the bathroom mirror before leaving early morning.

While Sonali choose to stay in bed, Niharika continued to crib regarding my secretive attitude.

"Why cant she just tell us where she go. What she do. We have been room mates  for almost 2 years now. She has to tell us all today, no matter what. No excuses on that." said Niharika with complete annoyance.
"Because she is hurt." replied Sonali calmly.
"Why. What have we done to hurt her." Questioned Niharika.
"Not by us stupid. It's probably  about something we have no idea about." answered Sonali..
"So why cant she just trust us, And share it. What are friends for otherwise." Niharika said with exasperation.
Conversation pulled out Sonali out of her sleep and she sat straight on her bed and said,"Because its just not the kind of person she is. She likes being left alone rather talk and discuss over it. Tell me have you ever seen her crying or talking about her issues in these 2 years?"
When Niharika tried hard to recall, Sonali answered her question herself, "answer is big NO. Now think over it, why is it so? Don't she have any problem? Its because she want to fight things on her own. She is struggling hard but she wont say it. Sometimes friends are suppose to be a silent pillar of strength, to give faith that if things don't work out i will stay by your side and that whats she needs the most right now."

By 5:30 am i gave up all my hopes, i knew one more night has added among those countless sleepless nights i have spent being restless. I decided to take a shower and prepare coffee for myself. Later with pin drop silence i picked up my keys and closed the door behind.
