He was staring at the Busy City but it was clear that His Mind was lost somewhere else. His thoughts process comes in halt when his phone Buzzed which was kept on his desk.. He turned and looked at his phone untill It stopped buzzing and again he Looked back to get lost in the view of City. And soon after a minute or two his phone again start ringing and sighing he finally moved towards the table and picked up his phone to saw His Best Friend, his Soul Brother Cabir Calling.

Look at the Irony, the guy whom he calls as His best friend cum Soul Brother, once there was a time that whenever he needed Peace or Whenever he needed some soothing words he used to run to him, today He Is Avoiding talking with the same person. He came out of trance when Again his phone buzzed and running a hand through his hairs once he picked up the call.
