"Atleast I called ya"..!! Came the reply with the bang of the phone. She felt zapped at the outburst of such uncalled retort; but she could not do a thing to it, as it was her choice and her fate that led her to travel over 2,000 kms to a place unknown and so unlike her. Better prospects, better opportunities, : whom was she fooling, herself or her own extension of the persona which was not like her. She regretted her decision a time more, she had built her life on false promises and illusions and now the life once again had stared back to her with its naked truth, wild but spiteful.

She got what she wanted but what laid ahead, the promise to be taken looked after with all-the –round-of-the-clock- camaraderie in an alien town was more than she could have asked for. But in its own ways, the promise was forfeited over and over again. She was insecure as she knew nobody and it was too late for her and it disconcerted her time and again. She wanted to move out of the squirm of the emotional perplexity and she had been waiting for a long time for a break-free life. She was a little scared and little more forlorn when she came to think of it but the choices had to be made sooner than later.
