Those 5 minutes

Anie was still working with the same call centre. She was devasted after her breakup with Nair and then jai's resignation from the call centre. She was a lonely soul since then. Though she and jai met occasionally, their chemistry was not as strong as before. She secretly wished jai could take nair's place but that was impossible, she knew. She'd decided to live life freely on her own terms without any baggage of relations, meaning no barrier of marraige.

Jai and zia are still going strong. Jai's parents know about their relationship through a common friend. They disapprove with just one argument - religion. Zia had no reason and obviously no guts to talk to her parents about jai.

' You are so lucky trups. You are settled in your career plus married your love. I still don't know where my life will go..' zia was talking to trupti on skype. Trupti was settled in U.S. with her then boyfriend Rakesh, now husband of 8 months. It was love at first sight for them. 'I'd told you zia, jai is not the one for you. But you never listened to me. Anyways, still you have time. Think and act wisely.' 'No trupti. Jai has lot of calibre. He will succeed in life one day. I believe in him. I cannot leave him on the way just because he's not settled today.' 'And will aunty uncle approve your relationship? He's a maharashtrian you are a Christian. Plus he's not settled till now. I don't think there's any future dear, unless you elope..' By then Rakesh came from behind.. 'Hi zia. How are you.?' Rakesh waved a hi to zia. They chatted for a while and logged out.
